@kajord @MLE_online Google has already scraped Mastodon public accounts. And Threads was Meta’s way of merging with the Fedi which is why many instances block Threads. There was this whole #FediPact campaign to get Threads out of the Fediverse.

@kajord I suspect that it's results like those graphed below that are motivating the skepticism of satellite monitoring.... Note the Permian basin are the left two sets of columns

@potterybyosa @kajord @MLE_online yep it was called #FediPact :3

What's a bit of a shame is that people with the "inside baseball" perspective constantly refer to consensus, without realizing that in common parlance it doesn't mean what's intended to be communicated. Scientific consensus isn't the same as consensus on what pizza to buy, a pitfall.
We (@SkepticalScience) took a stab at filling in this gap, because a widely accessible and reasonably complete explanation wasn't available.

So what can you do with a radiosonde if you find one? They can be reprogrammed with custom firmware (like https://github.com/mikaelnousiainen/RS41ng) and repurposed for amateur radio use. I am not sure whether it is a cost effective option given the many cheap ESP32-based boards available now, but appealing to reuse and recycle the waste from disposable sensors going up hundreds of times a day.
For now this one will sit as a trophy in my office though.
-
If you are interested in finding radiosondes in your area, you can track them on https://sondehub.org
I was also running a little LoRa32 board with MySondy firmware (https://github.com/MirkoDalmonte/MySondyGO-Release), which helped a lot to pinpoint it in the field after it was too low for other sites to get locations. -
I recovered my first radiosonde today! Launched from Spokane, this one landed close enough to town to try to follow it, but a bit farther than predicted, so I chased it into Idaho. It landed behind a farmer's field, he drove me back in his four-wheeler to recover it after I explained what I was looking for. He may have been somewhat amused that I was looking for it on purpose, he has found them on his land before while working the fields.
-
I got out yesterday to check out the bike-in campsite on Lake Spokane (the only one designated as such, as far as I am aware). Accessible on foot or bike, I did not stay overnight but it is in my plans for overnight bikepacking this season.

I rode by the site of last weekend's fire in Riverside State Park yesterday. Crews managed to stop it before it spread too far, and it looks like many of the Ponderosa pines may survive as well.
-
I gave a lightning talk on a silly little way to hide data in NaN values in floating point arrays: https://github.com/kjordahl/steganan

The local paper's article on the fire:
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2025/jul/06/evacuation-orders-given-for-50-acre-wildfire-in-ri/
Fire danger will continue to be high for the next few days. -
I've got a few post-evacuation actions to follow up on: to improve my offsite computer backup, to stand up a VPN endpoint and Home Assistant that doesn't depend on the NAS (which I had packed up and taken with us), and make a sprinkler setting to just run all of the irrigation on repeat. But all in all, the evacuation went smoothly, and most importantly, ended well.
-
In the end, it was some disruption and time spent, but no immediate danger or loss of property. It actually turned out to be a good exercise in what we would need to grab and go in a future evacuation. We could have been out in 10 minutes if needed, but took longer to make sure we had what we wanted if we would be gone for a few days, not just what was essential. Many of our neighbors never left (the level 3 order was downgraded shortly after we had left).
