For the past few years, I’ve maintained a list of space opera novels by cisgender women, trans, and non-binary authors. You can find the list right here:

There’s also a way to suggest works that are missing. It’s a growing, incomplete list!
Enjoy!
@Pat yes, the apartment is newly built, if they closed the windows I would not even need to turn on the AC in my room.
i wish i could make my roomates understand the basic thermodynamic principle that with good insulation and 40°C weather, windows must stay shut
@neurob se devi mettere mano solo tu al codice l'importante è essere sempre consistenti. Poi la maggior parte degli editor o ti sostituiscono automaticamnte i tab con gli spazi o puoi impostarli per farlo
I had an old kindle voyage laying around that was almost unusable because the touch screen broke on the top part exactly where the menu buttons are.
I managed to install koreader on it and now it's perfect to read pdfs

@tfardet i know, and I think it'is not completely his fault because the script shoud have some kind of check before deleting files. Yet he did not follow istructions that were explained extensively to him and for which he had detailed documentation. So for now he can work on his own computer, when he'll need the data we'll double check his code.
I'm laughing mostly, but now he's not allowed to work on our hpc cluster anymore
new master student managed to delete three month worth of stimulated data with one bash script set wrong. Of course we don't have a backup. I don't know whether to laugh or cry

Using the radioactive decay present in a banana to generate random numbers. Even if you don't appreciate the math/code/hardware behind it, you can appreciate the aesthetic of this Arduino-based generator and banana holder.

More complex (including code and math/probability), from the developer: https://www.valerionappi.it/brng-en/
a few pics I took in the past days:
We're assembling and testing modules for protoDUNE horizontal drift photon detection system 🥰

it's the first time I'm back at CERN since the pandemic, I had almost forgotten how much I love this place

I've wasted two days trying to find an affordable accommodation near cern, the internal hotel is full D:
@cweickhmann oh no, so I really need to step up my game D:
first time doing a poster for a conference, the plan is to make it so ugly so that my supervisor won't allow me to make one ever again
