What’s some tech you can’t live without, so much so that you actually have backups of that tech? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8gVmLHX/

thinking about going to maybe 1 programming conference in the next year or two but I'm not sure what would be fun.

some past conferences I've enjoyed that cover a big range of topics and aren't corporate: Strange Loop, PyCon, Deconstruct, !!Con.

one thing I especially appreciated about strange loop was that I got to meet some Black people there, usually the conferences I've been to are very white

NASA is sending a software update to the Voyager 2 spacecraft today!

The patch contains logic to auto-recover from glitches similar to one in May 2022, when the AACS system on Voyager 1 started sending garbled data. The root cause was not fully diagnosed. The patch will be activated/tested on Oct 28. Voyager 1 will be next.

Data will be sent at 16 bps with a 19 kW transmitter using the 70-m dish at @canberradsn.
Distance: 20 billion km; 18:40 light hours
