Watch this satellite obliterate the Kuiper Belt object moving through this set of images.

The dumb satellite is so bright that our auto-detect software threw out the whole stack, because it destroyed the average brightness.

It pisses me off to no end that my taxpayer-funded telescope time is now less and less effective because of one for-profit private company.

(P.S. software dudes: please don't try to mansplain workarounds, believe me, a LOT of astronomers are working hard on this)

A gif of a Kuiper Belt object slowly moving across a set of images. It just looks like a fuzzy dot. Toward the end of the sequence, there's a super bright diagonal line that covers up the moving dot - that was a satellite.

Just a reminder we won’t ever be using AI tools for articles 👍

We also don’t chase search engines with clickbait SEO crap either. By humans for humans.

Why in god's name would ANYONE pay someone to type words into Google/OpenAI when they could just quickly do it themselves???

mastodons list feature to hide a complete list of accounts you follow is awesome.
So I can follow all the news accounts but only "see" them when I feel like it, for less unintentional doom scrolling.

Timeline hygiene and mental health are important!

Note: It's a new feature, so it might not be available to everyone yet (but most probably soon).
Read more about that here: https://mastodon.social/@alopex@furries.club/110663198711615308

The Amazon Prime Video team was able to reduce cost by moving from Serverless backed by Lambda to monoliths running on VMs.

"Moving our service to a monolith reduced our infrastructure cost by over 90%. It also increased our scaling capabilities."
