   Had an awesome time in the underground laboratory @ SNOLAB today! Very pleased to be able to support our colleagues at # BoulbyLab as they engage with us about planning for laboratories as they evolve. As always, members of our laboratory team delighted us with art and our friends at Boulby with warm welcomes! I was grateful to be able to spend time in the lab after the tour concluded so I could understand some things about the # PICO40L detector. https://chirp.cooleysekula.net/attachment/0b321e043ab89a7ff045880940864895e838b46d4f608a720d041771b70f6d19/view

   From MastodonEngineering@mastodon.social on Mastodon: We've released the patches 4.2.1, 4.1.10, 4.0.12 and 3.5.15 today with some regular bug fixes. This is probably the last release on the 4.0 line as it's nearing its EOL.

   Excited to finally get to work in the underground laboratory @ SNOLAB today. The lab was closed for a mine summer maintenance period, but when it reopened I was sick for two weeks (cage travel when congested is a big no no), then travelled a bunch and/or got stuck on surface in management meetings. I get to help today with a visit from # BoulbyLab colleagues and otherwise will support # PICO40L today.

    Yay! My # PeerTube site is back! That second clone was painless and the server was back online 15 minutes after swapping out the power supplies. https:// media.cooleysekula.net

    My # PeerTube site, media.cooleysekula.net, will continue to be down for a little while. During a strange and exceptionally long # CloneZilla disk copy, the power supply on the machine actually completely failed! Luckily, I had retained a spare power supply for just such an emergency, and the system is back up and cloning again. Clone is going much faster this time, at least.

    Well, we had a lovely fall that lasted about 1 week. We’re heading into some potential wintry weather overnight and through tomorrow, including possible snow. # Sudbury

    In case anyone needs to know: media.cooleysekula.net is down for some disk maintenance. That system has proven resilient against well-behaved hard drives. :-) A painfully slow partition clone has delayed bring the system back up. Will update again once it is back.

    Hot take: I think Dave Filoni just setup the “Heir to the Empire” trilogy using the “Ahsoka” series. What once was canon was changed to legend, and once more may be restored to canon. Jorus C’Baoth, the Jedi cloned into the “mad jedi” in the trilogy, tried to explore beyond the galaxy and died in the attempt. Filoni is no fool, and clearly has drawn on this “legends” material to restore it to canon. I hope a season 2 gets made … I am excited to see Thrawn’s strike on the New Republic.
