#Aurora

I've finally gotten around to posting a blog about the Aurora Australis we had on the 1st of June this year.

I've included my camera set up and settings, and also didn't do any post-processing on my photos so you can see what comes out of the back of the camera.

September's Aurora

Explanation:
September's equinox arrived that day at 0905 UT. As the Sun crosses the celestial equator heading south, spring begins in the southern hemisphere and autumn in the north. And though the seasonal connection is still puzzling, both spring and autumn bring an increase in geomagnetic storms. So as northern nights grow longer, the equinox also heralds the arrival of a good season for viewing aurora. Recorded earlier this month, these curtains of September's shimmering green light sprawl across a gorgeous night skyscape. In the foreground lies Hidden Lake Territorial Park near Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada. Calm water reflects the aurora, with bright star trails peering through the mesmerizing sky glow. Of course, shining at altitudes of 100 kilometers or so, planet Earth's auroras are visible from space.

Dieses #Zeitraffervideo zeigt leuchtende #Polarlichter in Grün und Rot – aufgenommen von der Internationalen #Raumstation während der #ISS-Expedition 40. Besonders cool sind die #Sternschnuppen und #Satelliten, die zusätzlich zu sehen sind. Ein faszinierender Blick auf die Schönheit unseres Planeten! 🌌✨

There is no Planet B.

Meteor Borealis
* Image Credit & Copyright: Jason Dain

Explanation:
A single exposure made with a camera pointed almost due north on August 12 recorded this bright Perseid meteor in the night sky west of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The meteor's incandescent trace is fleeting. It appears to cross the stars of the Big Dipper, famous northern asterism and celestial kitchen utensil, while shimmering curtains of aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, dance in the night. Doubling the wow factor for night skywatchers near the peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower auroral activity on planet Earth was enhanced by geomagnetic storms. The intense space weather was triggered by flares from an active Sun.

Flying Over the Earth at Night

Explanation:
Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night. A compilation of such visual spectacles was captured recently from the International Space Station (ISS) and set to rousing music. Passing below are white clouds, orange city lights, lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark blue seas. On the horizon is the golden haze of Earth's thin atmosphere, frequently decorated by dancing auroras as the video progresses. The green parts of auroras typically remain below the space station, but the station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks. Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges. The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs every 90 minutes.

What would it take for the Atomic Desktops to be the default option in Fedora?

I tried to answer that question in my talk at this year's Flock to Fedora conference.

You can watch the recording (from the livestream) at: youtube.com/live/LvkFho1l238?t
Get the slides at: cfp.fedoraproject.org/flock-to

Since moving to #linux, I've been using #kde but I wanted to properly try #GNOME - it's opinionated nature has previously deflected me quickly.
An advantage of atomic #fedora #ublue #aurora distros is that a simple 'rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx-nvidia-open:latest' rebases you onto GNOME-based Bluefin, from Aurora. And the same is true of the inverse. And all of your files, Flatpaks and Homebrews come along. Very cool, and no bugs so far.

So, #threema ist bei mir jetzt im Wesentlichen weggemacht.

Ich war damals einer der ersten 1000, die das gekauft hatten. (Damals noch für 0,99 ¢)

Genutzt hatte ich es eh nur noch für Transfer zum Tablet.

Aber ohne PlayStore, keine Lizenzprüfung. Mit #Aurora funktioniert die Lizenzprüfung nicht.

Ich werde ganz sicher keine GApps installieren, um Threema zum Laufen zu bekommen. Und nein, ich werde auch ganz, GANZ nicht für mehrere Geräte neue Lizenzen für 5 €/Gerät kaufen.

Threema war mal der erste ordentliche Messenger. Jetzt ist es für mich tatsächlich "depricated".

Schade übrigens auch, dass Threema nicht mal auf Supportanfragen zur Lizenz antwortet.

(Ja, ich weiß, dass man die ID importieren kann. Aber wenn man eine neue erstellen will, hilft das nicht!)
