Behind the scenes in the world of skeptics and libertarians, Viv was a source of wisdom, and tenaciously productive. He will be missed. — Thank you Viv!

From his family: Viv lived a remarkable life — born in Warwick in 1939, he became a geologist, economist, farmer, writer, and above all, a man of principle. He was devoted to his family, passionate about learning, and unwavering in his commitment to libertarian ideals. He also dedicated much of his later life to climate science, challenging conventional wisdom with rigorous study and advocating for honest debate grounded in evidence.

Viv was a Dux, Geologist, Economist, Intellectual, Libertarian, Writer, Poet, Political Commentator, Coal Miner, Sheep Farmer, Grandfather, Carbon Sense Coalition Founder and tireless campaigner for freedom. He will be remembered not only for his achievements but for […]

The internet broke for the last couple of hours as Cloudflare crashed, taking X, ChatGPT, Spotify, Facebook, Telegram, this site, and even (the irony) DownDetector. Lots of people on X are asking why the internet is so big, yet so hopelessly concentrated. (e.g. AWS, Cloudflare, Google Cloud). This augurs well for Digital ID… Below, an explanation from a guy that might work at Cloudflare: Dane Knecht @dok2001 · 25m I won’t mince words: earlier today we failed our customers and the broader Internet when a problem in @Cloudflare network impacted large amounts of traffic that rely on us. The sites, businesses, and organizations that rely on Cloudflare depend on us being available and I apologize for the impact that we caused. Transparency about what happened matters, and we plan to share a breakdown with more details in a few hours. In short, a latent bug in a service underpinning our bot mitigation capability started to crash after a routine configuration change we made. That cascaded into a broad degradation to our network and other services. This was not an attack. That issue, impact it caused, and time to resolution is unacceptable. Work is already underway to make sure it […]

***Auroras being seen all over NSW Victoria Tasmania and NZ tonight.***

See Glendale app!

AURORA WATCH — This week has been one of the most active of this whole solar cycle. A major X5.1 Class Flare went off at 8pm AEST time yesterday from Sunspot AR4274. The strongest flare for a year. It appears to be full halo — which means is is probably aimed at Earth. There may be auroras on Nov 13th, especially since there were two smaller X class flares in the last couple of days. Sometimes a stacked set of strong solar flares can give a bigger show.
