Oh joy, work is changing ISP. So our IP addresses will change. Which means I have to track down the contact points for all the finance-related apps and partners so they update their firewalls, API endpoints etc.

Just got my official letter for the fellowship to New Zealand! And I have a possible lead on a local farm sitter, but nothing is set yet.

So I'm just going to put this out onto the Fediverse again, in case someone who knows how take care of goats in Real Canadian Winter (down to -40C temps) […]

Melburnians - if you have Netflix, the 2022 documentary "The Lost City of Melbourne" is on there, about the architectural history of the CBD and inner suburbs. I highly recommend it. It's especially interesting for the history it gives of theatres and cinemas, and those suburban cinemas that […]

'Police later said that a drone spotted on Friday morning flying 700 metres (0.4 miles) from Frankfurt Airport, Germany's largest hub, had been piloted by a man who was overly eager to test a new hobby drone. "He faces a heavy fine," the Frankfurt police wrote'

Finally some sense of sanity is starting to prevail.
Europeans are beginning to abandon the idiotic "#drones" designation for what clearly are #uap

Germans called them "Unbekannte Flugobjekte" (unknown flying objects).

The change in rhetoric seems significant.

"First it was called drone […]

My husband got clonked on the head by a small falling branch several hours ago and (feeling very guilty, because I was the one who wanted to go to the park even though the weather was a mess) I've been anxiously monitoring him for any sign something is wrong.

He sat down to use his computer for […]

Last night #munich Airport was closed because of "#drones".

A youtuber (@theburdenbearer) examined the camera stream (https://messe-muenchen.panomax.com/) and found an anomaly 'drone' (at 22:20) over the airport.

(My enhancement).
Like in all these […]

OK, new thread for the great Euro Drone Panic of fall 2025. In today's episode from Munich "Because it was dark, no information on the type, size or origins of the drones was confirmed" which strongly suggests the reports came from […]

Would people really mistakenly report aircraft navigation and landing lights that have been flying over their heads for their entire lives as drones?

Yes, they would

There may or may not be drones doing nefarious things in and around New Jersey, but the vast majority of things people are flipping out over are regular civilian aircraft (and as many have pointed out, all but the most incompetent threat actors would NOT RUN FUCKING NAV LIGHTS ON THEIR NEFARIOUS DRONES) https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/19/video/new-jersey-drones-planes-videos.html?unlocked_article_code=1.i04.zvI1.SWNr4OYUcEmI∣=url-share #GiftArticle #GiftLink #Drones #DronePanic
