Best track of the Meteor M2 4 satellite from my balcony yet. Taken at 9:38 AM UTC on September 8 using SatDump and a stock V-dipole antenna. I am blocked by my building in the north, so I have not been able to get a fuller, cleaner pass. Post-processed in Photoshop - Beginners guide to weather satellite reception

🔖 Bookmarked: Beginners guide to weather satellite reception https://blog.metislair.com/docs/Radio/Beginners%20guide%20to%20weather%20satellite%20reception.html While you have certainly seen imagery gathered by satellites before, did you know that you can receive it by yourself with very little effort? The purpose of this guide is to show you how the broadcasts work, how you can receive them in practice in an easy-to-understand and approachable way. As I start my amateur radio journey, this guide is appreciated. - Historical Indian film censorship from 1960s to 1990s
Jun 8, 2026 · original
Old government gazettes on the Internet Archive recorded cuts the Indian censor board made to films. I gathered around 8,000 of them from the 1960s to the 1990s, from a certified Star Wars trailer to the blood deleted from Lawrence of Arabia to the constant trimming of communists, China references, and "suggestions of kissing".

🔖 Bookmarked: Analyzing AI slop designs with basic heuristics https://www.adriankrebs.ch/blog/design-slop/ I am pro AI for code, anti-AI for most visual, reader-facing things. A senior engineer might feel the exact opposite; we naturally hate this thing more in the spheres we’re good at. I’ve found AI-driven design to be more trouble than it’s worth. For the same generic look, sure it works but any of the various skills that attempt to guide this in an “elevated” direction have failed. You can recognise the same Claude Code “frontend-design” skill in every single website. Italic fonts, random micro-copy, individually animated elements, blah blah. Boring. I experiment with each of these things as they come out just to see what is up, but so far I’ve not felt like it has done much for me. Anyway.

🔖 Bookmarked: A4 Paper Stories https://susam.net/a4-paper-stories.html These numbers are etched in my memory like the multiplication table of 1.1. We can keep going further to get A5, A6, etc. We could, in theory, go all the way up to A∞.∞. Hold on, I think I hear someone heckle. What’s that? Oh, we can’t go all the way to A∞?∞? Something about atoms, was it? Hmm. Security! Where’s security? Ah yes, thank you, sir. Please show this gentleman out, would you? Not only is this a fun technical read, but enjoyable on other levels too. Love blogs like this. - Isochrones and responsibility of visualization

I think it is absolutely incredible that I can import vector labels of place names from the 19th century into QGIS. I can barely get geospatial data for India in 2025 where I want it, but 19th century data? Right on man. GB1900 has got you covered. The GB1900 project was a crowd-sourced initiative to create a gazetteer, released under an open licence, by transcribing and geolocating all the place names on the second edition County Series of six inch to one mile (i.e. 1:10,560) maps of Great Britain, published by Ordnance Survey between 1888 and 1914, and thus out of copyright. You can view this in your browser at the National Library of Scotland website , it also supports queries to find places that start or end with a phrase (maybe you’re searching for all “mews” in London?). 109,193 entries end with a space followed by “Road”, “Street”, “Lane”, “Rd.” or “St.”[3] The abridged gazetteer - Anirudh's stories from Meghalaya

🔖 Bookmarked: Anirudh's stories from Meghalaya https://whereisanirudh.info/blog/some-stories-from-meghalaya/ One failed plan after another, even though I had no plan. I wanted to know who I should blame for all my troubles and of course, it is me. My friend and flatmate recently ditched our flat in Bangalore to go on a solo trip that has taken him from here, to Chennai, onwards to Ongol in Andhra Pradesh, then to Chattisgarh, further to Kolkata and then finally to Meghalaya where he wanted to go initially. When I first heard about this unplanned-plan I was skeptical because I like planning things to the dot, but now I am glad to be wrong because this trip has given me some great posts to read. He has a flair for writing which I had no idea about but it is extremely endearing and entertaining to read.

Earlier this year, Vivek and I gave a talk at IndiaFoss about our practice at Diagram Chasing. Overall, the reception has been lovely. I don't know exactly why it resonated so much, but I am grateful that it did. However, there is something I said on one specific slide that has been on my mind ever since. It’s a small detail—a friend even told me I shouldn't hang on to it—but the more I see this pattern in myself and others, the more it embarrasses me.

I searched for signs of AI-generated text in Indian government documents and found plenty: "As of my last knowledge update" disclaimers in reports, copy-pasted chatbot responses ending with "Let me know if you need any modifications", and websites with stray "regenerate response" text.

🔄 Reposted: https://bsky.app/profile/brendelbored.bsky.social/post/3m74zdcwkus2t I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice It goes into that weird thing that genuine appreciation is somehow considered less intellectual than criticism but everybody is getting trained to be such a cynical unfeeling asshole nowadays that I find the smartest people often are the “hell yeah cool song/drawing/story/video” people I’ve forgotten this sometimes but being able to discover something you like, curate it, and make time to enjoy it is intelligence, connecting with art is intelligence, empathy is intelligence, the way of the dullard is to find nothing meaningful - Photo from Dec 3, 2025

Surprise surprise, Fall of Civilizations is my top podcast this year. This says around 6.3k minutes listened to on Spotify, but my guesstimate would be at least double that since I switched to AntennaPod halfway through the year when I realized the “wherever” that hosts often say in “wherever you get your podcasts” is possible because podcasts are RSS feeds. FoC has been a great companion this year. I think it is genuinely incredible that such a fine production gives to itself the label of a “podcast”. The sound design from the Mongols episode still gets to me on my 4th listen. The episodes on Carthage and Egypt make me feel both sad and hopeful. Sad because it puts into perspective how young the modern experiment I am a part of (idk how to describe what I mean by it, but largely the 20th and 21st century) is in the scales of time; how do we know where we’re going? Are we going the right - Photo from Nov 24, 2025

Last week for no particular reason, I took a 200 kilometer journey around Bangalore using only BMTC buses. It was quite a lot of fun. I had not planned the trip in any way, I just knew that I just wanted to go around the periphery. I went from from Jayanagar to Attibele, from there to Hoskote, Hoskote to Yelahanka where I stopped for some rest and lunch. From Yelli, I decided to go to the town of Nelamangala which I had not planned to because it was much farther out. From there, I went a long way around to Kengeri, passing the big old banyan tree of Dodda Alada Mara , which is apparently more than 400 years old (and certainly looks like it). Since I was riding terminal to terminal, I always got my favorite right-side corner last seat. I had taken the AC bus pass so this cost me a total of Rs. 160, along with some tolls that I had to pay, but I didn’t use AC buses a lot. The entire trip t
