  1. A nicer day for our #dog #walk today. Some mist rising off the #River #Conon this morning.

  2. #introductions I'm Ross Mounce, Director of Open Access Programmes at Arcadia Fund - a charitable fund of Lisbet Rausing and Peter Baldwin.

    My interests are in the realm of access to knowledge e.g. #OpenAccess #OpenData #OpenClimate #OpenSourceSoftware #Wikipedia #Wikidata #iNaturalist
    Whilst at work, like many I am given proprietary software devices, but at home I thrive on GNU/Linux and have distro hopped a lot over the last eighteen years #linux

  3. CW: Caddy try_files surprise

    ```
    root ${avatars}
    try_files {path}.jpg =404
    ```

    If /avatars/{path}.jpg does not exist, we get the expected 404. Great.

    If it does, instead of the file, we get an empty 200 response. This is because `try_files` only rewrites the request. It still needs a `file_server` directive, or else it falls through to the default response: an empty 200.

    Updated Libravatar implementation on Caddy and NixOS:

  4. Libravatar is a decentralized alternative to Gravatar. I'm self-hosting it with NixOS, Nginx, and DNS records managed by OpenTofu.

  5. @ross Play for a while, you'll get a much better understanding of the (very counterintuitive) nature of :)

    Oh, and how did they calculate things in the ? While final trajectories were analyzed with (compute-intensive) , rough trajectories were created with "", which basically sort of converts a trajectory into a problem.

  6. So war es jetzt nun einmal und wir haben dass beste daraus gemacht: Schnell eine Unterkunft in #Rosslare gebucht und dann nochmal durch #Wexford #bummeln durch die
    #Fußgängerzone, #Stadtmauer und #Kirchenruine besichtigen und dann weiterfahren nach Rosslare...

  7. #RossScott from #AccursedFarms, the man that spearheaded the Stop Killing Games campaign, has asked those of us who care about digital preservation, in this case video games, to use the #StopKillingGames hashtag as of July 2nd. Well, would you look at that. It is July 2nd. So here's my attempt to get this hashtag active on the #Mastodon Trending page. Will this helps? I don't know, but as someone without rights in the US, it's the best I can do. Hop to it. It's time to get our rights back.

  8. Ross Stewart's first ever Premier League goal draws bottom side Southampton level at home to Arsenal.

    As it stands, Southampton will not set the unwanted record for the most defeats by any club in a season in the Premier League era.

  9. The role of #RossbyWaves in polar #weather and #climate

    by Tim Woollings, et al.

    13 Jan 2023

    Abstract:

    "Recent Arctic warming has fuelled interest in the weather and climate of the polar regions and how this interacts with lower latitudes. Several interesting theories of polar-midlatitude linkages involve Rossby wave propagation as a key process even though the meridional gradient in planetary vorticity, crucial for these waves, is weak at high latitudes. Here we review some basic theory and suggest that Rossby waves can indeed explain some features of polar variability, especially when relative vorticity gradients are present.

    "We suggest that large-scale polar flow can be conceptualised as a mix of geostrophic turbulence and Rossby wave propagation, as in the midlatitudes, but with the balance tipped further in favour of turbulent flow. Hence, isolated vortices often dominate but some wavelike features remain. As an example, quasi-stationary or weakly westward-propagating subpolar anomalies emerge from statistical analysis of observed data, and these are consistent with some role for wave propagation. The noted persistence of polar cyclones and anticyclones is attributed in part to the weakened effects of wave dispersion, the mechanism responsible for the decay of midlatitude anomalies in downstream development. We also suggest that the vortex-dominated nature of polar dynamics encourages the emergence of annular mode structures in principal component analyses of extratropical circulation.

    "Finally, we consider how Rossby waves may be triggered from high latitudes. The linear mechanisms known to balance localised heating at lower latitudes are shown to be less efficient in the polar regions. Instead, we suggest the direct response to sea ice loss often manifests as a heat low, with radiative cooling balancing the heating. If the relative vorticity gradient is favourable this does have the potential to trigger a Rossby wave response, although this will often be weak compared to waves forced from lower latitudes."

  10. This is fascinating: Wonder how something a thousand miles away can affect the weather where you live? At the ENSO Blog, guest bloggers Breanna Zavadoff and Marybeth Arcodia explain how Rossby waves create a globe-spanning superhighway that connects climate patterns.

    It's also interesting to note that rejection/acceptance rate has no correlation with the Journal Impact Factor™ (but then JIF is also a rather silly and dubious calculation too, so I'm less certain about what the non-correlation really tells us. Noteable nonetheless, particularly for JIF-worshippers of which I am not one)
