  • I use syncthing to sync almost everything across my computer, laptop (occasional usage), server (RAID1), old laptop (powered up once every month or so), and a few other devices (that only get a small subset of my data, though). On the computer, laptop, and server, I have btrfs snapshots (snapper). Overall, this works very well, I always have 4+ copies of my data in 2+ geographical locations.


  • Amazing! What is left to do now? Orbital Raptor relight and dummy payload deployment? Do they need a new launch license for that, or is the current one (which should be good for similar flights if I understand correctly) sufficient? S31 + B13?

    I assume they will want to demonstrate the V2 flap design before attempting a ship catch. They also need the second tower for that, unless the booster can be destacked sufficiently fast.

















  • Wow, it really seems to be one of those crypto scams, you are right! I specifically checked for this, but apparently, I was fooled!

    I was suspicious of the -2024 suffix. Things that tricked me:

    • 139k subscribers: I guess this channel just renamed itself?
    • Lot’s of official esa videos on the channel: Apparently, it’s just playlists.

    I will redact my post to remove the cryptoscammer link. So far, no cryptoscamming was observed.

    3 weeks, roughly in line with faster Space Shuttle turn around times

    The shortest shuttle turnaround time was 55 days. Almost three times as much as Falcon 9. The fastest post-Challenger turnaround time was 88 days, I believe. After Columbia, the fastest turnaround was around 5 months.

    NASA claimed that the shuttle could achieve a turnaround time of two weeks (page IX). It looks like SpaceX is not the only one setting unrealistic timelines?
