If that were the case thenw e wouldnt be able to see red light very well as it has very minimal penetration depth in water.

So while Im sure this does play a role I'm not sure its as complete an answer as it sounds.

The following are some im particularly active on:

git.qoto.org/digipex
hub.digipex.io
flear.com
fedipage.com
aparapi.com

I am also just received funding for one of my companies, but that info isnt public yet.

@mur2501 no i didnt write mastofeed I just consume it.

But yes mastofeed is fully customizable with css as far as I can tell. Havent tested it though beyond the basic settings.

@mur2501 You mean the microblogging feed that sits on the right hand side near the menu in the blog?

@realcaseyrollins Well I must say, that is NOT expected at all...

I think you just convinced me to watch barbie...

IF you had told me this morning "Hey today your buddy Casey will make a solid argument that will convince you to watch the Barbie movie" I'd have called that person a liar.... yet here we are :)

Some of the most annoying people you will ever meet are the ones who say "you always need to have the last word"... largely because its idiotically hypocritical.

1) In making this statement you are showing **you** need the last word, since you could have just walked away and let whoever you ridicule have the last word, but no **you** needed that last word

2) Even if their right, its idiotic, no one should care who spoke left. If someone else has more to say than you, and even if thats a pattern. Who the hell cares. People speak until they feel they dont want to..

3) its argumentative just for the sake of being argumentative. It contributes nothing to the conversation, not even constructive criticism, just toxicity.

"Electricity always takes the path of least resistance"

This is probably the most damaging phrase a future EE could ever hear... it has caused so many students to fail to learn basic concepts by clinging on to an inaccurate "fact"

For me I rmeember as a young kid 11 or 12 i was trying to learn advanced EE on my own and I couldnt get past a basic understanding because this idea was at odds with the reality and i couldnt reconcile my new more accurate teachings against the bad understanding i had.

Wasnt till i pushed through and got to the more advanced math I knew this was all a lie. Instead the truth is electricity usually takes all paths available to it

@mur2501 Linux in general, or hardening linus? I can talk in detail about linux. it is ony the hardening aspect i dont think im qualified to talk about .. not unless there is a specific aspect i know.

Usually if i harden i am just going to use a hardened off the shelf kernel, and then hardware encrypt my drive at book... obviously there will be somerfirewall stuff, maybe a virus checker... but linux is so secure i dont usually feel the need to do all the steps that would be "proper"

@jqmcd

Good catch, and no not a coincident at all.. in fact the reason the sun peaks at that wavelength and the reason our atmosphere is transparent to those wavelenths is in fact the same mechanism.

I explain it here:

qoto.org/@freemo/1112397849794

@phreeza Yup that is also true... but in a weird way these are the same thing... see here for a more detailed explanation that goes into this aspect:

qoto.org/@freemo/1112397849794

@freemo @drnoble I think there's a more important reason: visible light includes the peak of the sun's output, and is a range in which the atmosphere is transparent.

We see with what is available.

(whether advanced life would have evolved on a planet with shorter wavelengths arriving at the surface is perhaps an interesting question - but that isn't where we live.)

@simon_on_energy

While you are right, believe it or not your talking about the same thing.

If you look at black body curves of different temperatures, which is rougly what our sun is, then the peak of the light emission at almost any temperature roughly fovers around the same place.

In fact the peak of a blackbody radiation is asymptotic... mean while it does shift the hotter it gets the less it shift.. it approaches a fix point at higher temperatures. See the attached chart for an example of this, notice the verticle line defining the peake of the blackbody curve approaches a vertical line near the higher temperatures.

This asymptopic response is due to the exact same effect im describing. That is the line represents about the point where the mode of quantum interaction is inter-bond vs free electrons. For this reason you are likely to have any star with its peak in roughly the same range.

Likewise the absorption spectrum of our sky lets the peak light of the sun through because again where these two modes interact is "special" and this a lot of gases are more transparent around this region..

In fact I didnt want to go into this but solid materials are more often transparent around visible like than other parts of the spectrum slightly above and glow it (until you get too far away)... its favorability to transparency is also important so it gets through our atmosphere.

So basically while your right these effects of peak of the sun, transmission throught he atmosphere are all important yes, they ultimately all go back to being results of this same principle.

@RnDanger

If our eyes evolved to be underwater we wouldnt have ever really evolved to see red too well. Red is absent very quickly as you go under water.

@falken @freepeoplesfreepress

@mur2501 Im not sure im the guy to ask... i can harden a system but its not usually my job.

@freemo Its a circulatory system thing. Heart not as strong and vascular system less rigid than in youth, you end up keeping more fluids in your extremities. Lots of commonly used medications for that age group can also exarcebate the swelling, especially blood pressure meds.
