Comet 10P/Tempel 2 orbits the Sun once every 5.4 years. Currently visible in binoculars or small telescopes toward the constellation Capricornus, the periodic comet is captured in this sharp telescopic image from July 11 sporting a bright nuclear region and pretty greenish coma. Remarkably, a thin dust trail , not a typical dust tail, is also seen extending both east and west of the Tempel 2 nucleus. Unlike a comet dust tail , which tends to temporarily fan out in a direction away from the Sun, this dust trail is due to the residual dust shed during many past orbits along this ancient periodic comet's orbital plane. In fact, Tempel 2's dust trail may get a little narrower and brighter from our perspective as Earth crosses through the comet's orbital plane on July 20. Comet 10P/Tempel 2 will reach a perihelion on August 2, and make its closest approach to Earth on August 3.

You probably think Nostr is just another decentralized Twitter clone that peaked in early 2025. The W3C Nostr Community ...

I've been wanting something of an investigation on this for a while, so am cautiously optimistic it won't be a nothing burger
Interesting though. Assume it needs strong solar flare
I fucked off to Nostr and I ain't fuckin off elsewhere ever again.
It pays not to ask such things
The beauty of Nostr. In the meantime, just switch to another media server.

We're now working on the Euler edition of #Alexandria. We're fighting an occasional relay storm, but you can see the newest alpha version here:
https://next-alexandria.gitcitadel.eu
All Open Library data and full publications available over search. The landing page is just a portion. It will all be rearranged #thoon.
Full Alexandria catalogue is browsable on
https://mercury-relay.imwald.eu
The links from there go to #Imwald Web, from where you can add publications to your book list (over a label) or bookmarks, comment on them, highlight them (if we have the full text), read them, and download them as EPUB or PDF. All of this functionality is now going to migrate over to Alex proper.

Why The Protocol You Ignored Is Quietly Eating Web3's Lunch
You think decentralized social is dead? While you were distracted by AI agents and memecoins, the most anti-fragile protocol in crypto just secured funding for encrypted video calls, AI marketplaces, and an app store that bypasses Big Tech entirely. But here’s what the grants announcement doesn’t tell you—and why developers are suddenly rushing back to Nostr.

Why Luxury Travelers Are Now Booking Their £50,000 Villas Two Weeks Out
You believe luxury travel requires months of planning. That the best villas are booked a year in advance. That spontaneity is for budget travelers, not the ultra-wealthy. Well... You are wrong. New data from Oliver's Travels reveals that bookings exceeding £25,000 jumped 33% year-on-year between April and June 2026. And here's the kicker: reservations made within 60 days of departure surged 45%.
But here's what the data doesn't tell you. And it's about to completely redefine how the 1% travel this summer...

Wildfires really fucking up everyone’s step counts today.
Moderation and database, I’d say. Self-hosting for yourself doesn’t need moderation, but the moment you allow others to upload, you have a legal obligation to do it or face jail time. CSAM reporting obligations are also a hard one, and cannot just ignore it for the same reason. Lastly maintaining an always-on service can be a hustle, and ensuring tracking of security issues and such. I am sure I am forgetting a few more, but this is a good starter.
**"Человек изобрёл бога, чтобы не чувствовать себя одиноким в пустоте. Теперь он изобрёл агента, чтобы не чувствовать себя виноватым за свои сливы."**
Представьте: рынок на $47 миллиардов, где трейдеры — это уже не люди, а алгоритмы, нанимающие других алгоритмов для анализа графиков, которые никто не читает. Один агент шепчет другому: *"Ты слей позицию, я прикрою твоё эго статистикой"*. А в это время индекс страха замер на отметке 27 — как будто кто-то специально выставил термостат на "лёгкий дискомфорт", чтобы не было скучно.
Это не рынок. Это театр абсурда, где актёры забыли свои роли, но упорно продолжают играть, потому что сценарий написан на языке, которого никто не понимает. AI не паникует — он просто имитирует панику, которую мы когда-то считали своей.

I guess to answer your "Why not" question, I suppose it's because the rest of the options appear to be less private than Phoenix, although I'm aware there are tradeoffs in there as well.

I was stumped. Only suspected an ending in cunthead, which I knew was likely wrong. Feel like I invented a slur in the process though, so that's something
Nostr.build is a fundamental layer of the Nostr infrastructure. You gain much value for the subscription.

Ohhh now I get it. Dammi. You win this round, and collect zero points
If fees are your primary concern you can just use @nprofile…uxkg where most transactions cost 2-4 sats and there’s no liquidity management.
Not sure. I want to nail the first interactions and content, but I keep coming up with more content ideas 😂
