Here's the one of the moon, I can't remember where I found it originally, so I just copied it to my server.

Edit: For some reason, the default "Gnome Image Viewer" in Linux fails to display this image, so I have to use GIMP to see it.

Can you open the tap on the bandwidth ? 549MB @ 120-330kB/s is gonna take a while

I'll see what I can do, I normally run about 3-4 Mbps upload speed, and about 15 down, but Comcast has been flakey over the past week.

Edit: Currently uploading at about 3 Mbps, which is around what it should be according to Comcast. If it's still slow it's probably just because that 3 Mbps is being divided among everybody that's downloading.

What is the resolution of this image? Not pixels, but in meters.

Having worked at a satellite imagery processing station in the past, I'm calling BS on this one.

This one looks better:

Yeah look at all the purple in the clouds. Definitely 'shopped.

It depends on what variable it is. It's clearly not a true color image. It's probably measuring radiation coming from Earth on wavelengths outside the visible spectrum.

OP's image is 105MB. A GOES full disk image is about 429MB [visible channel only]... and is only 1km resolution.

A bit more info on the image

http://gizmodo.com/5...of-planet-earth

"The images... ...combines four light wavelengths, three visible and one infrared. The orange you are seeing here is the vegetation... ...The 3 reflected sunlight bands can simulate a conventional red-green-blue color picture. The near infrared channel is a vegetation indicator, since plants reflect near-ir as well as green"

If you're on windows grab search everything It may be faster in sorting by size and just checking through that

can filter search *.jpg then sort or whatever works

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
