I picked up this twig with a mushroom growing on it today, and some guy coming along the trail said, "That is awesome! Is there a smaller one next to it, too?" I looked closer and saw the smaller one. I hadn't noticed it in my own hand, and this guy had spotted it from 3-4 meters away. He must be a good hiking companion. Second photo for scale with a bit of my finger.

Sloan Digital Sky Survey Releases New Map of Supermassive Black Holes
Currently writing an anti-bots protection for Nginx (in Lua), deeply inspired by @splitbrain's botcheck (thank you 🙏).
In fact, it's not inspired, it's more an adaptation (i.e. same logic, and for now, same HTML page) for Nginx and Lua instead of Apache and Go.
Should be good enough tomorrow for a first release.
You can follow #NginxBotcheck hashtag for updates 🙂
@splitbrain
I could not wait until tomorrow to finish #NginxBotcheck (it was in my mind all afternoon), so I finished the first release 🥳
You can check the code (and see how to use it) on https://framagit.org/framasoft/adminsys/nginx-botcheck and see it live on https://slides.fiat-tux.fr 🙂

That’s what ChatGPT told me too when I asked. 👍
Every Friday Stretch - Episode 7 Passive stretches
another day, another lovely lake.
emphasis mine:
Note that as both the XTR subgroup and its image under
hare cyclic groups, any homomorphism can be given by mapping a generator from the domain to a generator in the image. A homomorphism defined this way is efficiently computable if the discrete logarithm problem in the XTR subgroup is efficiently computable. This example also illustrates that “arbitrary” cannot be replaced by “random” in the above definition.
they also define "efficiently computable" right before this part 
@thias @aeris @docteurslump Bah, si on récupère de la chaleur sur les incinérateurs et les centrales électriques, oui, c’est très bien d’avoir un réseau de chaleur (je suppose que c’est ce que tu appelles ligne thermique).
Mais ça marche surtout en ville, et c’est limité : au-delà de cette chaleur récupérée, et de toute façon pour les 40 % restant ou les gens comme moi au fin fond de la campagne où un tel réseau ne sera jamais pertinent ou presque, ce qui est mieux c’est une pompe à chaleur. Donc électrique.
(aujourd’hui je suis en résistif mais dès que j’ai les moyens je mets une pompe à chaleur)
Mais même avec une PAC, une voiture c’est un peu limite pour se chauffer (ça peut se faire, mais si tu fais que ça et que ta PAC est assez petite et qu’il fait pas trop froid, bref, ça devient compliqué).
@breizh@pleroma.breizh.pm @docteurslump@ludosphere.fr @thias@mastodon.social On a une ligne thermique aussi ici. La mairie a hurlé à la mort quand le gaz a flambé… À deux doigts de découvrir que le parc géothermique fonctionnait à 40%… au gaz 🤣
Ich bin schockiert von einem Insta Video des ansonsten verdienten Teams von ZDF Logo.
AfD Wähler (m) dürfen ungefiltert und ohne Einordnung irgendwas behaupten - in einem Beitrag für Kinder! Wozefak!?
Ich will das hier nicht weiter verbreiten, ist leicht zu finden. Protest darunter wird gesehen.

Er staan veel leeswaardige zinnen in deze analyse (waar ik het mee eens ben). Een daarvan: another bit of background worth understanding here is that Meta has been desperately seeking a path to regulatory capture for quite some time now. It’s been practically begging for Congress to pass child safety legislation that only the largest companies (like itself) could comply with. #Meta
Oui oui je vis bien là 😁 #translation
"Now that infrastructure itself is being treated as evidence of terrorism, and solidarity is turning into “material support.”
This isn't only an attack on A/I. It's a warning to anyone building servers, encrypted communications, independent publishing platforms and other infrastructure that makes organizing beyond state and corporate surveillance possible"

"Autistici/Inventati was never a politically neutral commercial host. But providing infrastructure is not the same act as authoring everything transmitted through it. Political affinity is not operational control. Giving someone an email account does not mean writing every message they later send. That distinction is central to the attack now being made against it."

@breizh @aeris @docteurslump Tu assumes un chauffage électrique, à Zürich, 30% du chauffage vient de la ligne thermique, le but est d'arriver à 60%.
@docteurslump@ludosphere.fr @breizh@pleroma.breizh.pm @thias@mastodon.social Je vais rigoler quand je vais poser la question de « elle est alimentée comment la ligne thermique ? »
(Spoiler : au moins à 30% au gaz)
