This is a formal portrait of the surviving Apollo astronauts. That's Buzz Aldrin in the silver tux. I have to imagine the conversation went like this:

ALDRIN: Ok, let's get started
PHOTOGRAPH: Mr. Aldrin, you are aware that this is a formal portrait?
BA: I'm not an idiot son.
PG: Well your suit-
BA: Son, have you been to the moon?
PG: No sir.
BA: Well I have. The moon. The motherlovin' moon. In a tin can run by a calculator and powered by a can of sterno. (1/)

Oh no, the US military have shot down a UFO over Alaska.
We are going to be hearing about this for decades…

Corymbia ficifolia, also commonly known as the #redfloweringgum, is a tree that is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia.

It has rough bark on the trunk and on its branches, robust, bright green thick leaves, flower buds in groups of seven; bright red, pink or orange flowers and its fruit is like the shape of cups. That’s the best description I can give.

This one in #BentleighEast #Australia has the most lovely deep-pink flowers. Although the colour is subtle viewing the tree from afar, up close the colour is really quite striking.

Love the fine hair appearance of these flowers too! The bees seem quite partial to them as well. 🐝🐝🐝

I read just now with interest that these are one of the most commonly planted ornamental eucalypts in Australia.

I’m reading “Turing’s Cathedral,” by George Dyson, and I’m struck by this bit. Von Neumann was working on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos, and returned home to tell his wife that he was terrified by the monster they had created. But that “monster” wasn’t the bomb, but computers.

Plus the reason the site went down yesterday, fears about an upcoming FTC audit, and more, and more.

Previous place I lived my ISP was so low on IPv4 that it wasn't one IPv4 per customer - the entire building was CGNed behind a single IPv4. There was port isolation, so I just skipped bothering with any NAT locally and just bridged my AP to the WAN link and everything just got an internal IP from the ISP's DHCP server. A year or so later, they got acquired by Google and had a whole bunch of IPv4 space available, and suddenly my lightswitches were on the public internet.
