저는 역시 다른 계절보다 겨울의 냄새가 가장 좋은 거 같아요.

지금 창문을 열고 숨을 깊게 들이 마시면 낙엽이 썩는 듯한 냄새와 난방으로 인한 연료의 연소 냄새가 섞인 듯한 오묘한 훈제 향이 매우 진하게 나거든요.

Voyager 1 Set To Reach One-Light-Day Distance In A Spaceflight First In 2026

NASA’s Voyager 1 is on track to reach a one-light-day distance from
Earth in 2026, marking a new record for the longest-running space mission.

#^Voyager 1 Set To Reach One-Light-Day Distance In A Spaceflight First In 2026

NASA’s Voyager 1 probe is preparing to cross an extraordinary threshold. By mid-November 2026, the veteran spacecraft is expected to become the first human-made object so far from Earth that a radio signal will take a full day to arrive.

Right now, Voyager 1 sits about 15.7 billion miles (25.3 billion km) from home. NASA says a message needs “around 23 hours, 32 minutes, and 35 seconds” to make the trip. Within a year, that gap will stretch to 24 hours as the spacecraft drifts to roughly 16.1 billion miles (25.9 billion km) from Earth.

Communications Slow To A Crawl


Reaching such an immense distance brings new challenges. Every instruction sent through NASA’s Deep Space Network will take a day to reach the probe and another day for a reply. That means even simple commands will unfold on a two-day cycle.

How Voyager Reached This Point


Voyager 1 has been travelling since 1977, launched during a rare alignment of the outer planets that only happens once every 176 years. Together with Voyager 2, it carries a computer with about three million times less memory than a modern smartphone, which is a detail NASA often highlights to show how remarkable their longevity is.

During its early journey, Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter and Saturn, capturing the famous “pale blue dot” image at Carl Sagan’s suggestion. Its path then carried it out of the Sun’s influence. Voyager 1 crossed into interstellar space in 2012, followed by Voyager 2 in 2018. They remain the only spacecraft to have travelled beyond the heliosphere.

Powering On After Nearly Five Decades


NASA expects Voyager 1’s nuclear power source to last for roughly another year. Even so, it continues to hold its title as the most distant spacecraft ever launched. Voyager 2 trails behind, sitting about 19.5 light-hours from Earth but still ranking as the second-most distant human-made object.

And then how that archipelago then intersects with south India and Yemen.. is even more interesting to me. I enjoyed learning that nasi mandi is basically the Yemeni dish.. mandi. I’ve spent the early parts of my life obsessively learning about all of those places and their foods and migration stories.

If there’s one book I can recommend, it’s ’The food of the Singapore Malays’. It’s a giant tome. You can injure yourself if you drop it. What a work of art.

Lately, there’s been some important work done by some folks there to celebrate the Indigenous foods of the Malay world.

Here’s a wonderful page on the food of the orang laut (the sea people): oranglaut.sg/our-food/

And here’s a page about the food culture of the Dayaks of West Kalimantan: slowfood.com/blog-and-news/the

I find that younger food bloggers have a ‘national boundary’ of thinking Singapore vs Malaysia vs Indonesia food. Maybe the national lines are much more obvious.

But like this uncle, I have a far more porous view. My family is just as much Johorean as they are Singaporean. It’s impossible to split down the middle. So much of the food and culture is the same. Thai Chinese food is also so similar to my home food, owing to the same Chinese roots.

I was very intrigued when my mother in law told me she barely ate any Indonesian food, growing up in the north of Malaysia, whereas the south of Malaysia - Singapore - Sumatra - Java feels like an archipelago of delicious things that have all intersected. I feel so incredibly lucky to got to spend most of my life in that part of the world.

Thanks to uncle Tony I now know that there is excellent Burmese food near where my family lives. It will be a good option for when I’m too lazy to go downtown (Mandalay Style is my fave Burmese restaurant there)

Just finished "Enshittification" by @pluralisticCory Doctorow, and despite it not telling me anything new, as I've been following him and this subject for a while, seeing all the case studies, the analysis, and Cory's proposed cure in a succinct, eloquent, and well argued overview was enraging, cathartic, and still hopeful.

I would definitely recommend it to most people, but especially to people who are not as familiar with all the tech nonsense as I am. I have the feeling I will be lending my copy to people regularly.

Oh, and the plug for the fediverse was nice to see.

aaaand.... my uptime monitoring service is now live at mongers.uptime.is

is scheduling and running checks which are dome using good old tools such as ping, drill and . multiple locations are done using @mullvadnetMullvad VPN

it's what I have been using myself for a couple of years, but with some not so fancy web-form to create checks.

it's also what is monitoring babb.no mastodon instance: mongers.uptime.is/check/113d64

I always say i find it hilarious that anyone thinks i am ‘very into food’ when random uncles back home have elaborate blogs like this: johorkaki.blogspot.com/

To be clear, most of my family would also have blogs like this if they bothered to write things down.

This dude’s blog is what I hope I will be doing when I’ve retired (traveling around the region, eating. He’s even in.. Bhutan?!)

Best Singapore / Malaysia food blog for me. None of the influencer stuff.

RE: mastodon.social/@dansup/115497

Seems like bsky starts experimenting using mediabunny (mediabunny.dev/) to compress videos github.com/bluesky-social/soci

Loops did the same too.

The bundle size is quite big, tho' I think will still be smaller than ffmpeg-wasm (github.com/ffmpegwasm/ffmpeg.w), used on tools.rotato.app/compress (I've been using this for videos I upload here instead of Handbrake app)
