I currently make software and previously studied astrophysics. I also like flying and taking pictures!
I remember seeing that someone managed to do that!

This weekend I found myself digging through the AT Protocol specifications and the Bluesky Personal Data Server (PDS) implementation. In doing so, I discovered that I could setup a website that is fully hosted on Bluesky.

Looks like it was another small earthquake! USGS currently shows M 3.0 - 3 km SE of Berkeley, CA (2025-09-22 18:21:57 (UTC-07:00)): earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

Ah, M 4.6 - 2 km ESE of Berkeley, CA: earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

USGS website isn't loading currently, but ShakeAlert shows an estimated magnitude 4.5. Maybe a V (or even VI) on the the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale?

Yep! USGS website is showing a 504 Gateway Time-out error for me currently though.

There's similar things in hospitals, right? Like those computer workstations on wheels? (I assume those are probably special and expensive though.)

Oh gosh, it's nowhere near as polished (and I had a friend help for the background art), but this is a clip of when I was testing it!
It's really more of a little code doodle than anything -- I just ported an RK4 integrator that I already had from a university problem set from Python to C#.

Ooh that looks so fancy! It's much cooler than what I experimented with when I first tried Unity!

I guess it came full circle with the episode of Voyager where the ship got taken over and the crew was forced into holodecks to involuntarily LARP as members of the French Resistance. :P

Shout out to my local library for having database access!
(I had also found some other sources on random blogs and websites, but not all of them had references -- and on the ones that did, I wasn't able to directly track those references down, so I wasn't certain how authoritative they were. 😅)

Thanks for sharing that story in the first place! I hadn't heard it before and it was delightful learning a bit more aviation history. :)

According to www.jstor.org/stable/44524..., Orville is quoted as saying "I enjoyed every minute. I guess I ran the whole plane for a minute, but I let the machine take care of itself. I always said airplanes would fly themselves if you left them alone."

The text at the bottom is certainly, uh... telling of the current state of affairs.
