Our friend Greg co-leader of #NOAA's #PMEL Global Observations of Biogeochemistry and Ocean Physics program (think #Argo) is having his last day there.

Our friend Dan head of [USGS] Global Systems Lab is gone.

#GSL's web page is gone, or unresponsive at this time. Looks as though the whole thing has been vanished.

Changes inflicted for only ~$75M paid as a bribe to the current administration by the #FossilFuel industry.

It would be a good idea to strongly express ourselves at this time.

Wegen geplanter #Kürzungen bei #NOAA und #NASA stehen wichtige Programme zur #Ozeanbeobachtung wie das globale #Argo-Netzwerk auf dem Spiel.

Forschende warnen vor #Datenlücken, die u. a. Prognosen zu #Meereserwärmung und #Meeresspiegelanstieg gefährden könnten.

Die #USA finanzieren über die Hälfte des Argo-Systems – ein Rückzug hätte globale Folgen.

Bei der Einhand-Regatta um die Welt ringt Christian Sauer mit einer Hautinfektion und dem vermüllten Pazifik. Aber es geht voran.

Don't you just love seeing the #ARGO network getting going?

Zajímavý román, který je celý vyprávěn robotem (robotkou) jménem Klára, jenž disponuje pokročilou umělou inteligencí. Příběh začíná v obchodě s roboty, kde Klára nějaký čas čeká ve víloze a má tak možnost pozorovat okolní dění na ulici. Po čase si ji vybere dospívající dívka, která trpí nemocí na kterou není lék a Klára tak dostává za úkol starat se o ni.
Klára se postupně snaží pochopit jak lidé fungují a proč se chovají tak, jak se chovají apod.
Minimalistické, psychologické sci-fi v komorním stylu.
Mně osobně se od pana Ishigura mnohem více líbil Pohřbený obr, ale rozhodně se jedná o zajímavé dílo.

Tři američtí vojáci od letectva, kteří byli ve válce ve Vietnamu sestřeleni a následně americkou armádou považováni za nezvěstné se rozhodli nevrátit se domů a zůstat nezvěstní. Zůstat inkognito. Nakonec se usídlili v Laosu na kraji jedné horské vesničky a tam se věnovali vaření drog, duchovnímu životu a tak podobně.
Jednoho dne je ale jeden z nich chycen při pašování drog a vládu začne zajímat, kde jsou zbylí dva.
Trocha Laosu a Vietnamu, trocha Thajska a Ameriky, trocha japonské mytologie a spousta filozofování a humoru a... majonézy.
Prostě Tom Robbins.

Another Day, another Application!

Today's Application is GoToSocial

I wrote an Argo CD App for @0hlov3's gotosocial helm chart to make it easier to deploy on using sync waves and then it generates a fancy little diagram like the one below.

In the ./app_of_apps directory we create the manifests and helm chart in this sync wave order:

1. all required PVCs, and ExternalSecrets
2. SeaweedFS file system and s3 endpoint with two buckets, one for Postgres backups and one for GoToSocial media
3. Postgresql Cluster
4. GoToSocial helm app

Highly recommend GoToSocial as it's much more lightweight than Mastodon. 0hlov3 has also been great to collaborate with, so checkout their helm chart as well

Its a little bit subtle - but the crew have just deployed an #Argo float. A basic ocean robot that has been a game changer in understanding the ocean. There are around 4000 in the ocean at any one time and they last for years - profiling up and down over the upper 2 km of the ocean sending back "ocean weather" data by satellite.

So my passion project for the past couple of years has been building out a massive repo of ArgoCD apps for others to use. I will start trying to highlight some of the ApplicationSets I've built and for why.

Today's app is Mastodon

What makes this special is:

• there's no plain text secrets anywhere
• it's all FOSS (including valkey instead of redis)
• includes a local s3 instance via SeaweedFS where postgresql backs up to locally and where all Mastodon media is stored directly
• All persistent volumes (including local s3 PVC) are backed up via k8up to a remote s3 instance
• it has perfect sync waves so everything comes up how/when it should

Román amerického autora, původem z Dominikánské republiky, vypráví příběh dominikánského mladíka a jeho rodiny, která je po několik generací sužována kletbou - fukú.
Hlavní hrdina, Oskar, je obézní nerd (extra nerd), který se chce stát spisovatelem a není absolutně schopen "zabodovat" u opačného pohlaví, což dává za vinu kletbě, která trápí jeho rodinu.
V knize sledujeme i příběh jeho sestry, matky a babičky a postupně odhalujeme historii jeho rodiny a počátek kletby.
Autor, Junit Díaz, za tento tragikomický román, prošpikovaný popkulturními odkazy, dostal v roce 2008 Pulitzera.

Tried #Argo tonight. It's tough, but I like it. I'm a sucker for puzzle fighting.

Deep #ocean #marine #heatwaves may be under-reported, study says
The majority of previous studies on marine heatwaves have focused on surface signals based on widely available satellite observations of sea-surface temperature. Researchers used observational data from more than two million ocean temperature profiles from global oceans. The study found that 80% of marine heatwaves below 100 metres are independent of surface events.

Tiny little #Argo floats!

"these P. noctiluca cells are like little submarines that can control their density so precisely that they can choose where they want to be in the water column."
