The authors of this paper suggest that the peculiar orbits of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) and an excess of microlensing events in the OGLE dataset can both be explained by the existence of a new population of astrophysical bodies with a mass several times that of Earth. They propose that these objects are primordial black holes […]
During a recent flight from St. Louis to Oakland, I encountered difficulties accessing Southwest’s in-flight wifi. Instead of giving up, I decided to investigate and discovered a successful request for current.json in the browser’s network dev tools. This appeared to be the data that powers the flight status page on the wifi portal. Using the […]
This discussion focuses on the comparison between OpenBSD PF and FreeBSD PF. There are claims that one or the other version of PF has fallen behind or not kept up with improvements, but these claims are garbage. The developers of FreeBSD PF work closely with OpenBSD devs and both projects want to work together. However, […]

I am unable to share this information with leak sites […]
The US has experienced two main periods of subway building. The first took place in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with cities like Boston, New York, and Philadelphia constructing subway systems. However, as car usage increased in the early 20th century, enthusiasm for subways declined. The second period of subway building began in […]
Engineers at MIT and in China have developed a passive solar desalination system that uses the sun’s heat to turn seawater into drinking water. The device, inspired by the ocean’s thermohaline circulation, allows water to evaporate while leaving salt behind. The resulting water vapor is then condensed and collected as drinkable water. The system has […]
Astronomers have made an intriguing discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). They have identified a new galaxy, named JWST-ER1, that is massive and compact. This type of galaxy, known as a massive quiescent galaxy, could shed light on the process of galaxy evolution. One unique feature of JWST-ER1 is the presence of an […]
Open-source projects can’t simply imitate existing successful businesses and expect to succeed. Profit is crucial for open-source companies to hire employees and sustain themselves. While price may be a factor for early-stage companies, larger companies prioritize a good solution that is reliable and easy to manage. However, open source can win by solving transparency and […]
