Exploring the remaining Internet footprint of a defunct software company always ends up being a strange rabbithole. Was looking at a Canadian company that dissolved in 2016, and the domain name was since picked up by someone with a Swedish registrar and pointing to a Swedish server.
What are they doing with the domain name? Well... They copied like, an old version of the index page with images and CSS included, sloppily removed all the links (there are </a> remnants left in the source), and that's everything. I dig into the IP and I see dozens of domains for defunct things, such as a dead German MMO from the early 2010s whose domain history follows the same pattern.
There is just some guy with a Swedish server out there who vacuums up domain names for old sites and puts up static lobotomised versions of the original index page. But for what purpose? There are no ads, it's not even a honest preservation effort. Collecting sensitive data that might still hit the domain? Maybe.

Weekly Update from the Open Journal of Astrophysics 10/10/2026
It’s Saturday again, so it’s time for another update of activity at the Open Journal of Astrophysics. Since the last update we have published a further eight papers, bringing the number in Volume 9 (2026) to 237 and the total so far published by OJAp up to 685.
I continue to include the posts made on our Mastodon account (on Fediscience); these announcements also contain a clickable form of the DOI for each paper. Our Mastodon account has regular updates and other announcements from OJAp too, including posts from the OJAp blog.
The first new paper this week was published on Monday 5th October in the folder Solar and Stellar Astrophysics. The title of the paper is “Diameters and Temperatures VII: High-angular resolution measurements of Solar-type stars with the CHARA Array” and it isby Tabetha Boyajian (Louisiana State University, USA) and 10 others based in the USA and Australia. This study uses interferometric measurements to determine precise characteristics of 27 nearby solar-type stars, including their radii, effective temperatures, and luminosities. The findings represent benchmarks for testing stellar evolutionary theory.
The overlay for this one is here:

The second paper for this week, published on Tuesday 6th October, is “The jet-shaped pipe morphology in planetary nebulae and core-collapse supernova remnants” by Jessica Braudo and Noam Soker (Technion, Israel). This article, published in the folder High-Energy Astrophysical Phenomena, he study suggests that jets shape the ‘pipe’ structures in core-collapse supernova remnants and jet-shaped planetary nebulae, based on comparisons with hydrodynamical numerical simulations.
The overlay looks like this:

The third paper of the week, “Balancing bias, baryons, and scale cuts in LSST 3x2pt analysis” is by Ottavia Truttero (U. Edinburgh, UK) and 5 others on behalf of the The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration. It was published on Tuesday 6th October in the folder Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics and presents a new analysis for LSST Y1 and Y10 data, exploring the effects of galaxy bias and baryonic feedback. The article also introduces a new open-source pipeline, MGL.

The fourth new paper of the week, published on Wednesday 7th Octonber, in the folder Solar and Stellar Astrophysics, is “High-Precision Differential Radial Velocities of C3PO Wide Binaries: A Test of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND)” by Serat M. Saad and Yuan-Sen Ting (Ohio State University, USA). The paper describes a technique to measure differential radial velocities of wide-binary stars, improving precision and enabling better analysis of Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), suggesting tension with current estimates of the acceleration scale.

Paper Number Five for the week is “Simulating the jittering-jets explosion mechanism: circum-jet rings account for observed core-collapse supernova remnant morphologies” by Muhammad Akashi & Noam Soker (Technion, Israel). The study uses 3D simulations to explore core-collapse supernova explosions driven by jets, supporting the jittering jets explosion mechanism theory. The simulations explain observed circum-jet rings in supernova remnants. This was also published on Wednesday 7th October, but in the folder High-Energy Astrophysical Phenomena.

The sixth paper of the week is “Radio Continuum Study of One of the Brightest Large Magellanic Cloud Supernova Remnant N 132D” by Rami Z. E. Alsaberi (Western Sydney U. Australia) and 7 others. This was the first of three papers published on Friday 9th October, and it is in the folder High-Energy Astrophysical Phenomena. This one presents a radio continuum analysis of the Large Magellanic Cloud supernova remnant N 132D, revealing insights into its magnetic field structure, energetic properties, and particle acceleration.
The officially-accepted version of this paper is on arXiv here and the Mastodon announcement on the fediverse here:
https://fediscience.org/@OJ_Astro/117409740216472768
The seventh paper of the week is “New Signs Pointing Toward a Correlation Between Astrophysical Neutrinos and Radio Flares” by Yjan Gordon (U. Wisconsin-Madison), Peter S. Ferguson (U. Washington), Eric J. Hooper & Michael N. Martinez (U. Wisconsin-Madison); all in the USA. This was also published on Friday 7th October, but in the folder Astrophysics of Galaxies. It is very topical, in the light of the award of this year’s Nobel Prize for Physics to Francis Halzen for his work on IceCube. The paper explains how data from VLASS and IceCube Neutrino Observatory reveal a correlation between radio variability and astrophysical neutrino detection, suggesting radio flares contribute to about 13% of astrophysical neutrinos detected by IceCube.

Absurd Adults guide to giving advice
If you ever had the misfortune to be caught in a doom scroll, you will know that the world and the people who live in it are full of often well meaning advice. . The problem is that most of it is unhelpful. Mainly because you didn’t really ask for it.
What often starts off as ‘advice’ soon drifts into the arena of a marketing ploy. All you have to do to become an instant millionaire is follow these five steps. Want to quite your job and go travelling in outer space, subscribe to my website. Want an athletes physique without doing any of the work, just buy a subscription to my gym programme and you will look like 1980’s Schwarzenegger in 10 days. It’s all nonsense, but it taps into something incredibly human, our desire for a better future.
We live in a time where we have literally never had it so good. The technology out our fingertips is astounding, and continues to develop at pace. The range of food and choice available to most is beyond measure. Medical advances mean on average we will live almost twice as long as our ancestors did, and yet….meh
We still yearn for something better, an ideal outside of our current situation, to be richer, happier, more productive, better. Whatever better means.
So we fill our lives with things that we believe will push us to that ideal. It rarely does. Why do so many millionaires look miserable?
Before taking any advice from anyone maybe we should consider the purpose behind the request, do we want comfort and sympathy, or honesty. Why would anyone choose to give you unsolicited advice if it wasn’t in some way aimed at improving their own situation. Perhaps they would if their is still an ounce of humanity left. I hope that’s the case.
Probably best to remember that no one has all the answers. They have only been on the planet for a very short time, perhaps less than you. So take their advice as an opinion on what might work, not what does work. Only you can decide what’s right for you.
I chose to start writing a second novel for myself. I wanted to expand the horizon of what I believe I am capable of as a writer. I was asked in an interview a couple of years ago whether I thought I had found my writing voice yet. I said that I was getting there. The more I thought about it that more I was unsure as to what the question actually means. It almost feels like a way to label the type of writer someone might become, horror, comedy, romance. Don’t us humans love putting things into nice neat little boxes. I don’t think I fit into a box, although I am sure they will try and do this once I’m dead.
Boxes tend to be helpful for the audience, we take comfort in knowing what we are going to get. If you read Philip K Dick, you know you are getting science fiction. If you read Roald Dahl you know you are getting a slightly barbed moralistic children’s story. It helps give context to the purchase, perhaps this is why some writers use pen names. It gives them access to another box.
I don’t know if I fit into any boxes yet. My first novel, Chopsticks was a ghostly thriller. I recently had a short dystopian science fiction story, Remnants published with Corollary magazine. My second novel is a comic fantasy about a selfish and weaselly anti hero called Caspar Quince. Perhaps the underlying themes are the commonality, but it doesn’t mean you have to stick to one type of writing because it has yet to be categorised. I think the same goes for any activity you choose to undertake. You might have the common themes of giving you challenge, bringing you joy or simply enjoying the compensation, but they exist at the very essence of what drives you forward.
Not that I received this directly, but I heard it the other day and it stuck with me.
Imagine you had 6 months left to live. What would you do with that time? What would you insist on? What would give you joy?
Do that thing, now, then live the rest of your life that way. After all, you never know how long you have.
I started off by saying that advice is offered often without it being asked for, then spent a few lines telling you what you should do. You see, the absurd adult in me contradicts themselves constantly. But perhaps its better, rather than to tell someone what they should do, is to offer something useful, in the hope that it might help. Advice is like a small gift. You might love it, you might hate it. You might even ask if they have kept the receipt. You might put it in a cupboard and then regift it to someone else.
Keep the things that help you move forward, and discard those that don’t. Life is a strange mystery that unravels in real time. You never know when that nugget of advice might come in useful.

Key to Europe's #EnergySecurity is to speed up the #EnergyTransition. The real question is what to look at first. Given how absurd it sounds that Dutch TTF Natural Gas prices (€80/MWh) are higher than Brent Crude Oil Prices ($104/bbl - equivalent to ~€55/MWh) one could argue for giving Fossil Gas phase-out the highest priority.
#WindPower, #HeatPumps and #Geothermal energy technologies can do a lot to help here because they target Fossil Gas when it's more crucial: during winter. -
The site combines a 242 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) plant with two co-located battery #EnergyStorage systems (BESS) totaling 311 MW / 773 MWh.

Here it's raining very lightly from the remnant of hurricane Isaias. We were fine with no power outage or any damage, fortunately. But we have to stay put until the rain stops. We may have a chance to go for a walk later.
