Submission + - Linux 6.10 Honors One Last Request By Hans Reiser 1
DVega writes: ReiserFS lead developer and convicted murderer Hans Reiser a few months back wrote letters to be made public apologizing for his social mistakes and other commentary. In his written communications he also made a last request for ReiserFS in the Linux kernel
“Assuming that the decision is to remove [ReiserFS] V3 from the kernel, I have just one request: that for one last release the README be edited to add Mikhail Gilula, Konstantin Shvachko, and Anatoly Pinchuk to the credits, and to delete anything in there I might have said about why they were not credited. It is time to let go.”

Obsidian.md is the best I found.
It uses markdown files on your box, and all the meta information is calculated and available. There are graph views, lots of plugins, but it all works without as well.
If you want to use the notes for a long time and keep it searchable and highly interlinked, like your own Wiki, Obsidian's your things.
Plugins include Jupyter notebooks, it does Mermaid diagrams, ties in with Zotero, it even has an SQL database like "Dataview" plugin, does LaTeX markdown, syncs to all devices. Active developments, lots of themes and plugins, and with 8k notes it's still super fast (and fast to search too).

Real time data is below, right now in the afternoon it is 35% solar, today at high noon renewables altogether made up more than 50% - even today when all the AC's are still running full blast.
When it's windy and cool and Sunny CO2 goes down to 0.010-0.050gCO2/kWh from the current 0.200gCO2/kWh.

According to CAISO, batteries make up 1GW or so at peak time, out of 40GW in summer.
That is up about 10X from last year I think.
CAISO also lets you see the power mix, down to 5 minutes resolution.
And CO2/kWh.

Could some proportion of the starlink satellites have radiotelescope equipment on the outward facing side like atacama? It would immediately be one of the largest radiotelescope. The bandwidth to deal with the data is already there.

The word Planet means Wanderer because the planets appear to wander against the backdrop of âoefixedâ stars.
This orbit is also a wandering orbit, and itâ(TM)s a nice historical allusion.
