An observation from 2019 recently uploaded. A Grey Baron (Euthalia anosia) spotted in Johor, Malaysia. A rare butterfly, it looks very different from the other Baron butterflies usually found in Singapore.

Wow! 😃
"NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance mission captured thrilling footage of its rover landing in Mars' Jezero Crater on Feb. 18, 2021. The real footage in this video was captured by several cameras that are part of the rover's entry, descent, and landing suite."

#askthefediverse which #foss productivity apps do you use? And how are they integrated?
Use case: starting a new job, taking a uni course, writing a masters thesis, plus personal goals to achieve. Walking around with a massive to do list in my head.
I'm trying out apps to keep track, but they're not integrated. Think mail in one app, calendar in another, Nextcloud + deck, tasks in a notes app. Since it's not integrated, I'm often doing double work or lose track. How do other people do this? 🤔

Are there any botanists or botany hobbyists on here who can help me with tree rot and plant decay? 👀
@gomez The more things change... , eh?
"The evidence backs a century-old theory that the nation’s greatest prehistoric monument was built in Wales and venerated for hundreds of years before being dismantled and dragged to Wiltshire, where it was resurrected as a second-hand monument." 😀

I'm thinking of getting a 3d Printer to play around with. I'd like something that has decent quality.
I'm overwhelmed by the various options. I've so far discovered at least 9 different types of print technology.
Can anyone with any experience of 3d printers help guide me to get the right type of machine?

Browser ‘Favicons’ Can Be Used as Undeletable ‘Supercookies’ to Track You Online
"According to a researcher, though, these icons can also be a security vulnerability that could let websites track your movement and bypass VPNs, incognito browsing status, and other traditional methods of cloaking your movement online."

Also, since I've moved to a Self-Hosted Mastodon instance, I'm looking for any tips, dos and don'ts.
Please boost!
Nice review on DistroWatch of Split Linux. I'd never heard of it but it's an extremely interesting concept that could be a critical help for journalists, dissidents and others - especially when traveling.

A natural 'arch' that does not look like an arch.
"Shown [...] is a waterfall arch, which directly contradicts the classic arch definition of a curved structure that gains strength from the curve. Uniquely, this one consists of a straight row of discrete cubic forms and has had enough strength to stand for perhaps ten thousand years."

The new White House website has a hidden message calling for coders
I looked at the WH page source and sure enough there's a comment line "<!-- If you're reading this, we need your help building back better. https://usds.gov/ -->"
It's kind of cool but by publishing this artcle they've pretty much messed up the message's purpose.
