It's December 21st, the winter solstice, and as fulfilment of my obligations as an astronomer under the Retrograde Mars Treaty of 1821, I must post a picture of an #analemma or the sun rising over a calendar circle to mark the #solstice.

If you're interested in the present and future of fusion energy then I recommend this 30-minute video. Really in-depth look at Helion's process for generating electricity.
I learned how to use the vim text editor in 2002 and haven't used anything else to write text on any computer since.
20 years later, Microsoft has made something actually good called VS Code. The editor has a vim mode and it connects to Linux (via WSL) to do real work.
If you work for a corporation or university that requires you use Windows, VS Code with WSL will make that computer actually useful.
Woah, a public SF Bay Area Mastodon server is $1000 a month to operate.

Twitter suspends accounts of journalists who cover Elon Musk, including WaPo's Drew Harwell, NYT's Ryan Mac, CNN's Donie O'Sullivan, and Aaron Rupar.
There's been reporting that Twitter hasn't been paying rent and severance packages. At this point, I'm starting to think the CEO knows the site is going down soon and just enacting petty revenge on everyone he doesn't like.
A lot of people tell me Gentoo was their first Linux distro as a flex. But when I ask them what they learned from that experience when they maintained their own custom operating system...crickets.
Tesla wants to solve the electricity problem in Texas by making Tesla branded electricity available to Tesla electrical product subscribers.
