@lerk Ah, that makes sense. I know Twitter would randomly just have gross stuff pop up on trending hashtags, so I limited sensitive images there ... not that it ever worked...

So! #Fediverse experimentation here to help us #new folks figure this all out. I put a CW on a post, not because it's in need of one but because I wanted to try it out (and put a smaller post on everyone's timeline). A couple quick thoughts:

1. You cannot have an image be considered a non-sensitive image when you have a CW. So my map of the US Image was marked sensitive. It adds an extra click for anyone interested in viewing the toot.
2. All the replies, by default, include the CW. You can turn that off in replies -- just toggle the little CW switch. Useful if it's not actually needed, but default on is ideal.
3. It looks like you can still hashtag through the CW, so don't be worried about missing out on being seen for that reason. Searching the hiking tag still shows my post.

@cheribaker Those look fun! I'm not sure if we're going to try to power out of Seattle or if early stops are acceptable...

Alright #Camping #Hiking Tooters: Any suggestions in the region indicated in the map? WA / OR / ID / NV / UT / AZ / NM. Obviously, your Zions and your Canyonlands and your Grand Canyons are in there, but I'm looking for the interesting but less overwhelmed. Oh, and dog friendly and currently open.

A map of the western United States, from the Coast to the middle of Nebraska and the Dakotas. A region is marked, heading from Seattle through Boise into Nevada, to Salt Lake City, down into Arizona, and ending in New Mexico.

On the one hand, I like getting snazzy new #running shoes. On the other hand, it's always a bit bittersweet knowing they'll never look this crisp again.

Two white running shoes, being worn; the wearer is only visible from the shins down. The shows are bright white, with orange accents and black details. Branding identifies them as Brooks shoes.

@PoeticLicenseDK
Yeah, my summary of problems, in decreasing importance:
1. Simpler solutions exist that can fully cover humanity's current and near-future energy needs
2. Formation flying / Station keeping is a non-negligible problem
3. Power transfer is a non-negligible problem
4. Adding energy at the level of powering humanity to the Earth biosphere is counter productive when we're already dealing with Global Warming

As for what to use, I'm a fan of Solar + Wind + Tides + Increasing Efficiencies + Decreasing Usage. But I'm an astrophysicist, not an energy scientist, so there's probably better thoughts out there on that.

@PoeticLicenseDK Very long and very expensive. At the current rate of energy usage, it's also not the most practical (especially since we're having trouble dumping excess heat from solar irradiance already!). Assuming an average kWh/m^2 per day for a given panel and yearly planet-wide consumption of 200,000 TWh, you just need to convert France to Solar panels and we're fine.

Satellites would be tough. Station keeping becomes difficult once you drift away from Earth. The classic Dyson Sphere model of a solid sphere surrounding the Sun would end up falling into the Sun without constant course corrections.

@seth Luckily it's not a major issue, as I only had one day of activity on mastodon prior to the jump. The two dozen people who were following me managed to come over in the export, I remade the only interesting toot I had tooted, and I just manually re-followed the dozen people I had found so far. Gonna have to make sure I know what I'm doing next time I feel the urge to jump instances, though!

Anyway, yesterday was the first show I've been to since the pandemic started. Sea Wolf & Matt Costa are starting a tour, and they kicked it off at home in Highland Park. Great show, and ABC signed some records for me at the merch table. But it's 2022, folks -- wear hearing protection! I had on Loops and it still sounded loud, but my ears were fine on the trip home. #Music #Concert #Safety

I'm also on the team running the NASA NuSTAR #satellite here at Caltech. We're a fantastic mission using what is basically a high-tech erector set to observe the high-energy Universe, revealing the physics behind black holes, neutron stars, supernovae, and tidal disruption events.

An artist's impression of the NuSTAR satellite. It has a ten meter long lattice-work boom separating two mylar-wrapped components. On the far side, a single solar panel wing sticks out to catch the sun's light. The background is a cosmic scene of gas and stars.

@apodoxus Only ~15 minutes ago. Followers came over quickly, but not immediately and not all at once. Everything else seems to have been left behind. I guess ... you follow the person, so you follow where they go, but the data stay on their instance?

A man in a long-sleeve gray shirt, shorts, and calf sleeves, with a light backpack with visible hose leading to a water bladder, mid-stride of a run. He has his hand moving toward his watch to stop the timer, and his stride appears to be in a position indicating he is coming to a stop. Nevertheless, while he is in focus, a slight motion blur is in the background.

A smiling, long-haired man. He stands in front of a lake; on the far shore are white and black buildings, including one with a prominent NASA logo. These are part of NASA JPL. Behind that are mountains and a clear blue sky.

@apodoxus I thought that's what I did? I'm not sure if it's a case where the data are just taking a while to transfer, and they'll make it over in a few hours, or if I just borked the process. The latter is fine -- it's not like I had much on my account to lose.

mastodon.social was slower than molasses, so I jumped instances. Hey! It's not that hard!

But now it looks like I lost everyone I was following? And my posts?
