So we might have found where all the missing mass in the universe could be hiding? In force balls?

Neat.

The posted article does address Peking University’s achievement, and the same treatment working in the US.

It’s a bit weird how it’s ‘a world first’ in the US though.

You mentioned you have VDSL. So you’ll still need your VDSL modem.

You will probably be able to configure it in pass-through mode or something similar so it will only do the modem functions and not the routing functions.

Then you can use anything you like as a router.

I use OpnSense on a diet cheap ex-lease x86 SFF desktop. I also filled it with PCIe NIC’s. The only down side of that is it’s power-draw.

I’d interpret that as the state police exceeded their authority by attempting to prevent the attendees hanging out the papers: the police at that point were acting as the government and suppressing free speech.

However, as soon as it was trespass because the attendees had been elected from the event the police were back in their jurisdiction.

While it was within the event it was the shitty ADA having a squabble with some members/attendees. Why the police would get involved in a civil (rather than criminal) matter is a water of their time.

Yep, NZ was the last place to be settled by humans. Polynesians only reached it about 1250AD. So a thousand years after this map!

Polynesians had reached South America and come back with kumara (sweet potato) before reaching NZ.

“the body has a way of just shutting that down”

Or some such nonsense from some senile US senator.

Given that I was picking my nose in my sleep last night until it bled while dreaming that I was picking all four nostrils… WTF is real anyway?

Oh, totally OK with that idea.

I’ll still mourn the loss of what could have been though.

The Lux episode was bad enough.

But, by all means, enshittify one of the few TV shows I actually enjoy.

A technology — known as plug-in, balcony or garden solar — is already enormously popular in Germany, in part because you can buy a kit for less than $600 at IKEA. It’s a small solar panel system, often producing up to 1,200 watts of electricity, or a little more than a refrigerator consumes, that you can affix to a wall, hang on a railing or prop up in a garden — and then plug directly into a wall socket. With the help of a small device called a micro inverter, it pumps electricity into your household circuits to offset your power demand.

Really cool. Can’t wait for my country to take 15 years to decide that we’Re SpeCIaL and ban them.
