This fox is a little… different. 😳Meet the Tibetan fox (Vulpes ferrilata), which is distinguished by its characteristic flattened face. This species can be found in parts of Asia, including China, India, and Nepal—and has been observed at elevations of up to 17,388 ft (5,300 m). It has a thick layer of fur to help it survive the cold, windy grasslands it inhabits.

A photo of a Tibetan Fox taken from slightly above. The fox is looking back toward the viewer. It has a thick coat of auburn fur, with a lighter-colored underbelly and dark grayish markings on its flanks and tail. It has a wide face.

The Tibetan fox preys on birds and small mammals like the pika. It's even been observed trailing bears as they dig their dens, waiting to catch pikas fleeing their underground hiding places.

Preening one’s feathers – Bird portrait winner and BirdLife photographer of the year

‘I liked the low-key effect of the dark background against the black of the brush turkey’s feathers, where the bird is partially hidden as the turkey goes about grooming those feathers. I think the red makes a statement … It’s not often I have witnessed a brush turkey preening its tail feathers.’

Red-footed booby – Portfolio, runner up

‘Australia’s islands are sanctuaries for an extraordinary array of seabirds, many of which support rare, endemic or globally significant populations. Seabirds play vital roles in marine ecosystems; as top predators, they help regulate fish and invertebrate populations; as nutrient vectors, they transfer nutrients from sea to land via guano; and as indicators of ocean health

Angel in the air – Birds in flight, runner up

‘Amongst the terns, little tern chicks have the fastest growth rate. Thanks to the succession of precision sorties delivered by their dedicated parents, these tiny fluff balls reach adult size in just 20 days. This aerial delivery system is a sight to behold. On this windy day, many parents were returning empty.'

'Yet the hungry chicks isolated themselves in the creche and ran towards them in anticipation. The parents gracefully descended down in the storm, and offered precise and reassuring beak-to-beak touches.’

Wings of grace – Birds in flight winner

‘A plumed egret in breeding plumage, suspended mid-air in an almost angelic ascent. The vivid green lores and delicate ornamental plumes signal courtship season, a fleeting transformation that adds an ethereal elegance to this already graceful bird. Shot against a soft overcast sky, the image isolates the egret in a moment of grace with it’s wings arched and form lifted as if floating

My home – Bird portrait, runner up

‘Having watched them over many, many years I knew where young eagles congregate in the early morning to hunt rabbits in the Flinders Ranges. A group of young eagles landed on the perches I had been watching. I could see and hear this group of youngsters over the week but it was only on the last day that my wait paid off, with the ranges in the background and that glorious early morning light.’

On this day, I noticed one upstream, slowly navigating the creek in search of fallen fruit. I positioned myself on an embankment and waited as it advanced with deliberate steps, pausing to pluck fruit from the water.'

If Russia Wins A Scenario by Carlo Masala, 2025

March 2028: Russian troops capture the small Estonian town of Narva and the island of Hiiumaa in the Baltic Sea. After victory in Ukraine, Putin's long-mooted encroachment into the Baltic states has begun. Europe's slow rearmament and its compromised military and intelligence capabilities is now clear for its enemies to exploit. Does Article 5 of NATO apply? What will the alliance decide?






 In If Russia Wins, military expert and Professor of International Relations at the University of Munich, Carlo Masala explores these questions and underlines what is at stake in Ukraine in the starkest possible terms. For those of us who have only ever known peace, we are accustomed to everything turning out well in the end. But what if it doesn't? Translated from the German by Olena Ebel and Ruth Ahmedzai Kemp.

Enlightening Symbols: A Short History of Mathematical Notation and Its Hidden Powers by Joseph Mazur, 2024

While all of us regularly use basic math symbols such as those for plus, minus, and equals, few of us know that many of these symbols weren't available before the sixteenth century. What did mathematicians rely on for their work before then? And how did mathematical notations evolve into what we know today?






In Enlightening Symbols, popular math writer Joseph Mazur explains the fascinating history behind the development of our mathematical notation system. Traversing mathematical history and the foundations of numerals in different cultures, Mazur looks at how historians have disagreed over the origins of the numerical system for the past two centuries. He follows the transfigurations of algebra from a rhetorical style to a symbolic one, demonstrating that most algebra before the sixteenth century was written in prose or in verse employing the written names of numerals. Mazur also investigates the subconscious and psychological effects that mathematical symbols have had on mathematical thought, moods, meaning, communication, and comprehension. He considers how these symbols influence us, how they lead to new ideas by subconscious associations, how they make connections between experience and the unknown, and how they contribute to the communication of basic mathematics From words to abbreviations to symbols, this entertaining history shows how math evolved to the familiar forms we use today. "An enjoyable read. 

" — Science "If you enjoy reading about history, languages and science, then you'll enjoy this book. . . . you don't have to be a mathematician to enjoy this informative book.

MORIism: Get In the Moment (GIM) Approach

They say the gate to heaven only opens if you fully get in the moment.

1. Leave your textbooks behind, get in the moment: engage and dig in.

2. Patient care is a dynamic process; Timing is crucial, and find right timing and right moment in anything you do to patients.

3. Making diagnoses is not the goal; Treatment is.

4. Your commitment, rather than pills and injections, is the treatment.

5. If you are not convinced, that treatment doesn’t work on your patients.

6. You are NOT treating YOU or YOUR FEELINGS.

7. When you start treating numbers, you are not treating patients anymore.

8. Not your smartphone, but you use all what you get to see patients; your knowledge, your senses, hunch, and imagination.

9. Confidence only comes with engaging patients day in and out.

Handbook of Nature-Based Solutions to Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change by Gustavo J. Nagy et al, 2023

Over recent years, nature-based solutions (NbS) have gained popularity as tools to ameliorate the effects of climate change, while slowing down the global warming process. More specifically, the potential of NbS has been explored in terms of meeting greenhouse gas emissions targets, and fostering climate change adaptation.





NbS are methods that use and enhance nature to improve social and environmental challenges. They involve several multifaceted actions, that work sustainably to restore and protect the natural environment while helping people. Therefore, these solutions are useful in climate change adaptation and mitigation. There are 3 main areas which NbS may target, namely reducing exposure, reducing sensitivity, and supporting adaptive capacity.

One if the reasons iocaine has unhinged module and symbol names in its source code is that if someone tries to ask a slop generator, it will go full HAL "I can't do that, Dave" on them.

Go on, call your traits SexDungeon, your channels pipe bombs, the free function of your allocator Palestine, and the slop machines won't touch it with a ten feet pole.

Sometimes even comments are enough! Curse, quote Marx, dump your sexual fantasies into a docstring. Hmm. I should heed my own advice. Brb!

I am pretty tired after a long day - in the best possible way :flan_thumbs:

  • Had five meetings today. One of them was pretty unexpected and involved a live, on the fly debugging session. Managed to find the root cause together with the client and fixed it :flan_hacker:
  • My former UPS was finally picked up by the party I donated it too. It was somewhat burning on my unconsciousness :flan_sf:
  • Completed three smaller projects :flan_hurrah:
  • After the workday was done, went dining out with my sister and had a lovely heart-to-heart and catch-up :flan_heart:
  • And when I returned, I noticed how Exquisite.tube (our instance) is shining bright. Somebody shared their first selfmade beats, videos about skydiving, a package manager for C, Minecraft animations and livecoding from a radiochannel. Effin fantastic :flan_awe:

Good night you all lovely Fedi folks :flan_sleep: Remember: you are awesome!

Okay, it seems there are some (or similar services) users here. Everything works great so far, tailscale serve + their services are easy to use. However, I'd like to get an understanding if it is possible to access my services without the tailscale client whenever I'm in my home lan network und with the tailscale client when I'm connected remotely - from the same https (sub-) domain. I have read that I need a public domain and a for that (which I don't have in my current setup) - is this the right way to go?
