Oh, very nice :) Even higher-res than what I found. Thanks! Didn't expect someone at ETH Zurich to host these wallpapers. I like this version without the spaceship a bit more.


In case you don't want to install an extension, search in about:config for "image.webp.enabled" and set it to false. Worth mentioning, there's also a "image.avif.enabled" entry.


That is not the same thing. This addon does not modify "image.webp.enabled" or "image.avif.enabled", it modifies the accept header. If you modify the preferences you mention you will still be served AVIF and WebP, but viewing will break...


wget and aria2c both works. I get a jpg image 54,8 KiB, SHA256 sum 204788602166C017B8FEF5D63EDFD814DC9865233C410BCDAD713F78DAE5AF18


Like @FeeJai already wrote, that's incorrect. Look up for Atlas Air Flight 3591 crash, boeing 767. Spatial disorientation, dual imputs on yokes, split elevator. https://www.pprune.org/rumours-news/628156-atlas-air-3591-nt...


Ten years ago two guys managed to enter in Noth Korea by train from Russia spending 36 hours without a guide.

They obviously went to see the USS Pueblo as well... It's kind of a long read, but very interesting, imho.




Relevant, cheetahs running filmed with an high speed camera: Cheetahs on the Edge—Director’s Cut https://vimeo.com/53914149


I have watched this video dozens of times. It is like an hour of meditative breathing exercises condensed into 5 minutes.


Thanks for this clip, it's amazing how it keeps the head still. BTW, the kingfisher has similar ability, check this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIs4tpV2FUQ


Optical image stabilization! I am interested to see that this seems to be the way various predators have solved the problem, I take it that unlike the direction our camera technology is going (which is to throw more software at the problem), it was most economical to use a lot of tiny neck muscle adjustments (no Moore's law for predator brains, to be fair, so it might have tied up a lot of neurons to do the same in software).


If you don't want edit manually user agent, oscpu and platform in "about:config" then blender can do it for you: https://addons.mozilla.org/it/firefox/addon/blender-1/

EDIT: seems that this extension need to be updated, sorry...

But I don't know, if you allow javascript maybe you will leak your real user agent?

I like to switch between iceweasel and seamonkey, and I'm "proud" of my different and unique user agent :) Speaking of privacy, actually I'm more concerned about referer, third-party sites, content delivery networks and so on.

The user-agent provided to JavaScript is the same one sent via HTTP.


Good to know, thank you!
