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.

Thanks, yea it must be getting hammered, I'm getting about 120Kb/s

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

      That is $130 more than I paid for my 4TB a year ago. How is this a deal?
    • JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      JetBrains' new AI-first 'IDE' JetBrains Air is now on Windows by David Uzondu JetBrains has announced that JetBrains Air, its Agentic Development Environment (ADE) is now available for download on Windows x64 and ARM. You might not be familiar with JetBrains Air. It's this new desktop app that the company launched back in March 2026 to let developers hand off tasks to AI agents instead of writing every line manually. You can see it as more of an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) rather than a traditional Integrated Development Environment (IDE). The latter builds its features around a central text editor, while the former arranges everything around the AI agent itself. Here's how JetBrains describes it: Air was born from the ashes of Fleet, an experimental editor that the company quietly killed in December 2025 after realizing that competing directly with VS Code was a losing battle. The company repurposed Fleet's lightweight, modern architecture to build Air, transforming a basic code editor into a workspace for running multiple AI agents. When Air launched, it was only available for macOS. It wasn't until earlier this month that Linux users got a chance to play with the software. Now that Air is on Windows, you can do things like map out a complex feature in Plan mode and watch an AI write the implementation plan to a markdown file before writing any code. You can iterate on this plan, add references to specific classes or files, and choose whether to run the agent locally or inside an isolated Git worktree. Running agents in parallel means you can have Claude refactor a database schema in one branch while Codex writes tests in another, leaving you free to do other important things. You can even set up a pipeline where Claude writes the code, and Codex reviews it. At the moment, Air is free. If you have a JetBrains AI Pro or Ultimate subscription, you get full access to the built-in agents, though there's also the option to Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) to run APIs from Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google. If you're interested, here are the download links for both x64 and ARM64.

      Depending how you’re wiring it internally, but try to put it inside conduit, that way in the future you can more easily replace cables, compared to running inside studs alone At least cat6a too

      I bet Meta has lots of info on you anyway, gathered by other means. And Google, and Microsoft, and every other tech giant. If you use some form of modern electronic device, they own you already...
