Success! After wrangling with radeondrm/EFI issues, I finally managed to get 6.3 running on my old iMac with multiple monitors fully supported (thanks to some manual modeline work with cvt and xrandr)

Update/expansion of my intro last year. I'm now going into fourth year maths rather than theoretical physics, having switched degrees. (That's assuming I pass some exams this week that I deferred due to illness).

I brew beer as a hobby, and code when I have spare time. I enjoy writing science fiction, but I'm a long way away from publishing anything.

I have 111 characters spare so: My favourite equation is \(\int_M \mathrm{d}\omega = \int_{\partial M}\omega\)

CBS is apparently so confident about the quality of star trek picard, that I can ask if we're allowed to discuss star trek picard on /r/startrek and be immediately permanently banned.

GPU shopping 

I'm looking for a fanless AMD GPU. I currently have an elderly HD4000 series, and it works OK for my use (driving one or more large-ish monitors running i3wm). I don't care about gaming, but I might care a bit about Vulkan performance. Searching I found a couple of HD5xxx and HD6xxx cards from visiontek for less than CAD100. I don't mind paying a bit more, but fanless (or amazingly quiet fan) is a hard requirement. I'm in Canada, if that matters.

My ISP seems to be hijacking all DNS requests, regardless of server, so that they can blackhole facebook traffic (facebook.com is being routed to 127.0.0.1). I can run DNS queries against example.com and still get results:

Przyblyski's Star: A star with more praesodymium in its spectrum than iron. Is it aliens? Maybe, but unlikely. Is it a measurement error? Probably not. Is it evidence of the island of stability? Surprisingly, this might be the most likely outcome. Is it weird as fuck? YES.

Obscure-ish topic, but does anybody here have any textbook / expository paper recommendations for contact geometry?

It's been a while now since my degree, but I've had to help out a sibling with some thermodynamics homework, and it's sparked my interest in the geometric side of physics again.

Hot take: X11's separation of the window manager and the display server is really good and Wayland is taking a step backward by combining the two.

If KWin crashes or I need to restart it, I shouldn't lose EVERYTHING.

And yes, this does happen.
