I'd love to have a ring that incorporates Yubikey like NFC functionality, I was worried it could allow login when I didn't intend it, but the idea of a switch might work. Having a USD dongle for hardware that doesn't support NFC but can negotiate the handshake between my ring and the device could work.

I'd buy a ring with just authentication, if it was rechargeable and did a few other things (pulse, sleep monitoring, etc.) even better, but the bare bones would be amazing so I could have something I wear for my authentication.

Interesting twist with a game I remember playing (physically) as a kid. Playing on a surface (non-rectangular) is warping my brain a bit, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

I did notice the URL seems to be capturing the state of my board, but I can't figure out how that's done. Super fun though!

I'm having trouble identifying the flare. The article says it's a bright flash in the lower left, I do see a small eruption in the bright spot towards the end of the loop, but it doesn't seem drastic. The article also says it happens at 1:09 p.m. EDT which I think is 17:09 UT (the loops time) and which seems to line up with the eruption.

I know that "small" eruption can probably fit several Earths, I just assumed it would be larger/brighter for some reason.

Yeah, I did a factory reset before learning about other solutions here.

I'll have to go through the thread again, but I'm not sure we know what the root cause is yet? Log files were filling up, but I didn't catch why.

Super interesting, the same thing happened to me around 4am PDT, I have 2x ASUS ZenWiFi ET8 mesh routers. Every 10 minutes or so, we'd loose internet access for a minute, then it would come back.

I called Charter and they blamed the router, but I was a bit suspect since in January of 2022, we had another issue where the call center blamed our router and after a bit of testing was able to prove to them it wasn't our router. This was kind of interesting as well, they finally sent out a second service tech that had some sort of spectrum analyzer and he found our line it was being overwhelmed with noise. Turns out the drop from the pole wasn't shielded and a new T-Mobile 5G tower was bleeding into the line (acting like an antennae). The tech put a new wire up and it immediately solved the issue.

In both occasions, the help desk told us the signal coming to the router was fine though. This time a factory reset seemed to do the trick, but I seemed to have the latest firmware to start with so I'm not sure what's going on.

I think properly reinforced concrete is an acceptable building structure for earthquake zones.

My real point is that buildings should be designed for the area they are in. So zones that have earthquake, flood, hurricane, fire, etc. risk should be designed against the risk they face. You do see that to some extent, but it's glaringly lacking a lot of places.

There were 3 cabins in the area that didn't burn down, the one wrapped in foil, a house built from concrete (a friend of mine, you can see his in the background of the second image on that site), and another that wasn't particularly special. Interesting that all 3 survived, perhaps the topology, fire direction, or other factor made that pocket more survivable.

My buddies house (concrete construction) should be the default in fire prone areas, the fact that we keep building wooden structures in fire zones doesn't seem logical.

With radial symmetry, thin lines, and a high amount of split (50+), any amount of scribbling turns beautiful.

Really fun, reminds me of being a kid and playing with a Spirograph.
