@Moon@shibao@animeirl the issue is that there are bypass tracks to give priority to passenger, right, but the freight trains are so long that the bypass tracks are simply useless
@smitten@Moon@animeirl@shibao in israel all my experiences of riding the train have been, like, smooth high-speed transport between major cities, as it should be
the only issue i have with rail here is that there's no connection between eilat and the rest of the country, even though that's like, a perfect application for trains
@Moon@shibao@animeirl@smitten is it comical? cars are actually terrible for mass use, they kill people, both directly because 2 tons of steel going at 70 km/h, and indirectly due to the massive amounts of air pollution, both particulate and CO2
>A geomagnetic storm hits Earth, causing aurorae as far south as Alabama in the United States. The storm registers at a G5 (extreme), the highest on the scale.
huh
Space Weather Message Code: ALTK08
Serial Number: 29
Issue Time: 2023 Apr 24 0447 UTC
ALERT: Geomagnetic K-index of 8, 9-
Threshold Reached: 2023 Apr 24 0444 UTC
Synoptic Period: 0300-0600 UTC
Active Warning: Yes
NOAA Scale: G4 - Severe
NOAA Space Weather Scale descriptions can be found at

Potential Impacts: Area of impact primarily poleward of 45 degrees Geomagnetic Latitude.
Induced Currents - Possible widespread voltage control problems and some protective systems may mistakenly trip out key assets from the power grid. Induced pipeline currents intensify.
Spacecraft - Systems may experience surface charging; increased drag on low earth orbit satellites, and tracking and orientation problems may occur.
Navigation - Satellite navigation (GPS) degraded or inoperable for hours.
Radio - HF (high frequency) radio propagation sporadic or blacked out.
Aurora - Aurora may be seen as low as Alabama and northern California.
@astrid fun fact the reason why some PHP functions have inconsistent spellings is to change the length, because for a while it used string length as its only hashing function for function lookups
like even outside of server downtime, mastodon has no features (because fun is against the holy garg's Vision), pleroma is horrible in every way due to randomly failing to load and stuff like that on any instance older than 5 days, and misskey is pretty stable but you need a supercomputer to run it
