Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

an article on the subject for the curious:

Monster Matches Available

Good morning! I finally found my groove after not being able to write for a long time so I'm offering Monster Matches.

With a monster match, you also get a free mini aesthetic board to set the mood for you story.

DM me for interest, I'll need just a little bit about you before we start. I take everything about you into consideration when picking out the perfect monster for you- and I'll dig deep. If something doesn't fit, I'm not going to force it just because it's popular.

I have about ten-fifteen slots open, depending entirely on how much of a word count each person wants. I already completed some, pending approval from the commissioners before I publish.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Let me figure out a way to plug a bunch of Palestinian families’ godundme’s because I’ll give out monster matches in exchange for proof of donations

now that I’ve been back a while I’m getting the age old “is this okay to reblog” questions on my posts, and I would like to say what I have always said which is that 1. Yes. 2. You should never

Ever

post a single thing on this site that would make you uncomfortable or cause trouble for you if someone shared it elsewhere. Yes, even if you disable reblogs on the post.

It’s not nice, but you have absolutely zero expectation of privacy or containment regarding anything you post to any social media. Even if it’s social media that only your friends can view. It’s still up and out there.

If it would be upsetting or dangerous or just plain awkward for something you post here to show up elsewhere—I cannot stress this enough—Do Not Post It.

I fucking love youtube comments sometimes, here's the ds9 promenade ASMR
