My name is Matt. I enjoy helping people with technology related issues. I also like adorable animals.

Je suis seul car il ne veut pas apprendre Excel

Comme les marins, qui fument des cigarettes sur le canal, ah.

Mais Excel ne sera pas appris aujourd

Spektr-R | Decommissioned, single array, 10 meter diameter

From your link: "The very high angular resolving power was achieved in conjunction with a ground-based system of radio-telescopes and interferometrical methods, "

HALCA | Decommissioned, single array, 8 meter diameter

From your link: This orbit allowed imaging of celestial radio sources by the satellite in conjunction with an array of ground-based radio telescopes" … “the project was eventually cancelled in 2011 due to increasing costs and the difficulties of achieving its science goals”

Orion | “It is believed that this refers to the diameter of the main antenna, which might be well in excess of 100 m”, potentially you’re correct! Oh. These are ground facing dishes that aren’t use for scientific purposes and are highly classified.

The same is done in space, you realize that…

No, it isn’t. The radio astronomy done in space is for Gamma rays, x-rays, UV and IR. Things the atmosphere blocks.

What’s done on the ground is for much larger wavelengths (+1m) which, again, requires massive equipment that is currently is not feasible to send up.

The fix isn’t to eliminate StarLink, I agree. The fix in my opinion is to have stricter controls from the ITU about how much interference a device can produce.

Put that shit in space like they always should have

So which is it? It’s already done in space, or that’s the direction we should go?

Even your explanation about your original comment being “extremely easy to comprehend” has two opposing statements.

We don’t do a majority in space because of the absolutely massive size of the equipment needed… The VLA, for example, is 28 different dishes/antennas that are over 200 tons of metal a piece.

The signals that are being measured are absolutely tiny, so much so (and to your point about interference in the ground), that A microwave can cause issues.

The issue with the StarLink v2 is that; they are in LEO (Low Earth Orbit), they emit a lot more than other satellites, and there are a shit-ton of them - which means it’s harder to schedule equipment time around the interference theyre causing. And the problem is only getting worse.

Your comment is very disjointed though, so I’m not entirely sure what your point is.

TLDW: Nothing happens (US Plug, 120V circuit, with a “standard” 2 prong outlet)

This is because the dual plug outlet already has connected/Shared Neutrals and connected/shared Hot, powered by the same source.

Don’t do this

Ah, yeah - someday I’ll make it scale better

What benefit does SSL/HTTPS provide if the data going back and forth is just HTML? (No user names / passwords / etc.?)

I have it set up for my jellyfin server since there is login data.

Not that I won’t add it, just didn’t know there was a need

Oh no…

How about this: http://cuteredpanda.com/ ?

;_; might need to update my htaccess
