The church is a small part of the complex. The “Mordor of Prague” is the Emmaus Monastery, whose 17th century Baroque towers (on the otherwise mostly Gothic building) were destroyed by American bombardment meant to target Dresden, and the spires replaced them during a rare Communist-era (1964-1968) reconstruction of a church building. During the time, a Brutalist “mushroom” was added into the monastery park (thankfully too short to be seen from the river), and the Architecture and Urban Planning Centre is located there now.

Palestinians 'cause you’re getting your numbers from Google

They are elevators 6 and 7, anything funny otherwise?

I think these are muyhiram’s original characters, and it makes more sense if all three are lesbian

I think it isn’t in VSCodium

The obvious tell of it being AI-generated is the lack of any brown liquid around him

It seems to be a Unicorn 2 picosatellite, which includes the power, inertia control and communication systems and a telephoto camera as default payload. See the original Xitter post (via Xcancel) for details. Like most cubesats, they don’t use shielding and it works.

There’s one left

Requires weird IDE to build

I shifted 8 GB of files to an older machine just to be able to install Android Studio on barely-supported hardware, and now I’m cloning the repo and the .gradle directory alone is 1 GB?

Yup, disappointing especially considering it cost way more than a simple 1940s rocket+camera that took decent pics of land thousands of kilometers wide

Yup. You’re basically right, clarification on “anything”:

• Not the celestial body you’re on (that’s called night)
• Not a structure on the celestial body you’re on (that’s called being in the shadow)
• Not an object with too small angular size to cause much dimming, such as Venus or the ISS (that’s called a solar transit)

Yup, it’s the sun behind Earth. The shadow of the Moon is quite small and often there is only partial shadow (except for total eclipses). Look at any eclipse path, it’s really thin; if the Moon cast such a big shadow everyone would get a total eclipse often.

Edit: with a full eclipse, most of the hemisphere actually does experience a partial eclipse at some point (see latest US total eclipse. The Moon’s shadow is basically a blurry circle, only 100% dark in a thin spot in the center if you’re lucky.

It was really hard to get the early spacecraft to not spin uncontrollably, so even short exposures look blurry.

Yes, a bit of a letdown but it was 7 years before the next 3, and shortly after Vanguard 2, the first SSTV scanner camera in space, which failed to align to its target latitude of 40°N to 50°N so I couldn’t find any images - presumably only incoherent lines of image data were received that could not be assembled into a 2D picture. Getting SSTV to work was so difficult that they used to make weather and recon satellites single-use: wind film into a shielded box and deorbit.

The atmosphere deflects light (which is why it doesn’t get pitch black as soon as the sun sets) and creates this ring despite the Earth being about 4x the angular size than the Sun when viewed from the Moon.

Specifically, first image of the full disk of Earth from space (Russian Molniya satellite, 1966-05-30), unless you count the first photo from orbit (Explorer VI, 1959-08-14; turned out poor but technically shows the entire sunlit portion). It was superseded quickly by Earthrise (Lunar Orbiter I, 1966-08-23, first pic of Earth from near another astronomical object), and this first geostationary orbit image (ATS-1, 1966-12-11).

It does not take much to reach space (100 km) so a camera was launched there as early as 1946. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_first_images_of_Earth_from_space

Not to mention, agender ∈ enby but not every enby is agender… unless you only accept 2 genders

Technically, identifying as a different gender from AGAB is the most widely accepted definition of transgender, and almost nobody was assigned non-binary at birth or never had their gender assessed before becoming sufficiently self-aware so just about all enbys are trans. However, AGAB is sensitive info and trans people can choose to not be “proudly trans” and this should extend to enbys. Especially since they might not share many typical characteristics of trans people, such as dysphoria or trying to pass. I like how @SincerityIsCool@lemmy.ca described it.

I was pointing out that swap space, sometimes known as virtual RAM, requires more careful management because of bandwidth and write cycle limitations (for example, it does not make sense to cache files there if they exist on the same physical medium) so full use of space on it is a lower priority.

The “free (physical) RAM is wasted RAM” adage rules.
