Servus Mastodon,
Kaffee ☕ läuft und draußen ist es leicht bewölkt. Es soll bald regnen und stürmen, wäre schön für etwas Abkühlung.
Schönen Wochenstart euch Allen.
Das Bild zeigt eine DeLonghi Magnifica EVO Kaffeemaschine, die auf einem schwarzen Tisch steht. Die Maschine ist silbern mit einem schwarzen Display und hat das Logo "DeLonghi" sowie den Modellnamen "Magnifica EVO" deutlich sichtbar. Ein Milchschläger ist in Betrieb und schäumt Milch in eine blaue, mit dunklen Flecken verzierte Tasse. Die Tasse steht auf dem Ausguss der Maschine. Im Hintergrund ist ein weißer Milchbehälter zu sehen. Auf der rechten Seite der Maschine befindet sich ein QR-Code mit der Aufschrift "info". Im Vordergrund ist ein kleiner, transparenter Behälter mit braunem Kaffee zu sehen.

Överås är en lugn stadsdel som ligger mellan Lunden och Bö i Örgryte. Den har fått sitt namn efter Dicksons gamla sommarstuga (egentligen en liten herrgård) Överås som ligger i Bö. Skjutningen inträffade vid halvtolvtiden igår kväll och flera larmsamtal från boende i området kom in till polisen. En person blev skjuten och fördes till sjukhus. Han ska enligt polisen ha träffats av flera skott och vara allvarligt skadad.
Primissima bozza di un programma a cui sto pensando da tempo.
Secondo me una distribuzione come @ufficiozero che è pensata per le p.iva dovrebbe avere una panoramica veloce sui vari siti governativi, questo perché sono tra le interfacce che il cittadino/p.iva ha con lo stato e penso sia utile almeno sapere della loro esistenza e che si possono consultare velocemente.
I siti sono utili anche per i privati cittadini e le associazioni.
Spero di riuscire a terminare il progetto...

in reply to AkaSci 🛰️ • • •Images are transferred from the Rubin Observatory using "direct writes via the S3 API to an object store" at the US Data Facility at SLAC in CA and distributed to the UK and France sites.
Given the high bandwidth-delay product of the links between sites (~8 Gbps per image transfer * ~165 ms round trip time RTT = ~165 MB), transfers are done using specialized connection pooling/keep-alive code and TCP tuning (e.g., initial and max cwnd size, congestion control, ..).

Seven of them are near-Earth asteroids, which fortunately pose no danger to Earth.
"Annually, about 20,000 asteroids are discovered in total by all other ground and space-based observatories. Rubin Observatory alone will discover millions of new asteroids within the first two years of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time."
