Crisis in cosmology? Or just tweaking models?

    The Hubble Tension is certainly real. The Hubble Constant can be estimated from a number of completely independent astrophysical phenomena. There is a significant difference in the value computed from 'local' phenomena, and distant phenomena. It is often referred to as the "5 sigma" tension, because that is the statistical significance of the disagreement. This has been know long before James Webb, but as the article says, these observations just lowered the uncertainty on one of the probes. But we were fairly certain already that this tension is real.

    Whether it's a crisis or not is up to the individual. Things not agreeing in science --- especially astrophysics/cosmology --- is just part of the process. I don't know anyone that is 'worried', so much as looking for ways to solve the problem.

    Yep, I don't remember the exact wording, but when you install Molly on your other device, you can select to use as a linked device, or restore a back-up, or register from scratch. Of course don't enter your phone number, that will overwrite your account. There should just be a link on the main screen to link to your main.

    It's great for the banks that lend the money, the real estate agents and state governments who take their cut from the transactions [...]

    This part towards the end succinctly sums it up. With those interests in mind, it's little wonder why we're in this mess, and why it will be so difficult to get out of it.

    Yep, I'm doing it right now. I have the official Signal app on my main phone, then Molly on the second one.

    I have to say, one thing that happened to me; I used to use Molly for both phones, but I would suddenly stop receiving messages on my main phone for some unknown reason. I would receive them on e.g. my computer client, but not my main phone. So I switched back to Signal as the main driver and Molly as the linked device..

  • Reading print improves comprehension far more than looking at digital text, say researchers

    A slightly misleading title. It's not reading something on a printed medium compared reading that same thing on a digital medium. It's that the shit written on the internet has no educational value..

    Isn't the play usually to look for alternative work while still at your original job? Or are you thinking going back to uni or something that wouldn't pay..

    For everyone talking about the expansion of the Universe, that's not what this is about. The Universe is still expanding, at an accelerating rate. This work is about the rate of structure formation (the large-scale clumpiness of matter) being slowed down, not the expansion of spacetime.

  • Hi, I have a Pi-Hole set up on my home network, which I access from anywhere through a SWAG reverse proxy at `https://pihole.mydomain.org`. I have set up a local DNS record in Pi-Hole to point `mydomain.org` to the local IP of the SWAG server. Access from anywhere (local or not) works well. It's just that when I am accessing some services (including the Pi-Hole) from my desktop through the reverse proxy via the DNS record (i.e. on the LAN), the Pi-Hole log gets completely spammed with requests like in the attached image. To be clear, I cropped the image, but it is pages and pages of the same. This is also the case for e.g. the qBittorrent Docker container I have set-up. So I guess it's for 'live' pages which update their stats continuously, which makes sense. But the Pi-Hole log is unusable in this state. This does not occur when I am accessing the services externally, through the same reverse proxy, or when I access them locally with their local IP. The thing is, I have already selected `Never forward non-FQDN A and AAAA queries` in the Pi-Hole settings. I also have `Never forward reverse lookups for private IP ranges`, `Use DNSSEC`, and `Allow only local requests`, but they seem less relevant. The Pi-Hole, SWAG server, and PC I am accessing them from are three different machines on my LAN. Any way to filter out just those queries? I obviously want to preserve all the other legitimate queries coming from my desktop. EDIT: Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately the problem persists, but I discovered something new. This only happens when accessing the page from Firefox desktop; not another desktop browser, and not Firefox Android. So actually it seems to be a Firefox problem, not a Pi-Hole one. I thought this might have something to do with Firefox's DNS-over-HTTPS, so I tried both adding an exception for my domain name, and disabling it altogether, but that didn't solve it..

    I'm curious if/what others have found a solution to this problem; I've been slowly switching most things to decentralised services, such as Piped/Invidious, LibreX search, even Lemmy to some degree. I also recently set up Dashy as a dashboard for my NAS. Over the last few weeks, I've encountered many problems with the specific instances of these services that I'm using, and I frequently have to change instance. I'm not sure if others have this problem as well. Especially for LibreX, this is problematic because it's not trivial to change the default search engine on Firefox desktop. So I thought it would be nice to have a 'status' widget in Dashy showing the uptime/status of all of the specific instance servers I use --- because sometimes it takes me a while to realise that actually the instance is down, not something else wrong with my network. But the only thing I could figure out how to do is simply put an iframe in Dashy with uptime websites such as [https://gitetsu.github.io/librex-instances-upptime/](https://gitetsu.github.io/librex-instances-upptime/). This is pretty clunky, and isn't rendered nicely. An Invidious equivalent ([https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn](https://stats.uptimerobot.com/89VnzSKAn)) doesn't allow iframes at all. How do others deal with random instance downtime? Is there a better way of handling the outages in the first place? Is there a nice way of adding the instance status to my Dashboard so I at least know when they're down? Cheers.
