The Intersex Progress Pride flag flies beneath the American flag on the center pole with the California state and NASA flag at either side. The Intersex Progress Pride flag flies for the first time at any NASA center in front of the Ames Administration Building, N200, to commemorate Pride Month.


The rising Earth is about five degrees above the lunar horizon in this telephoto view taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft near 110 degrees east longitude. Astronaut Bill Anders took the photo on the morning of Dec. 24, 1968. The South Pole is in the white area near the left end of the terminator. North and South America are under the clouds.

A Florida redbelly turtle casts a suspicious look as he is being photographed on the grounds of NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The redbelly turtle inhabits ponds, lakes, sloughs, marshes and mangrove-bordered creeks, in a range that encompasses Florida from the southern tip north to the Apalachicola area of the panhandle. Active year-round, it is often seen basking on logs or floating mats of vegetation. Adults prefer a diet of aquatic plants. The Center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses 92,000 acres that are a habitat for more than 331 species of birds, 31 mammals, 117 fishes, and 65 amphibians and reptiles. The marshes and open water of the refuge provide wintering areas for 23 species of migratory waterfowl, as well as a year-round home for great blue herons, great egrets, wood storks, cormorants, brown pelicans and other species of marsh and shore birds, as well as a variety of insects.


The Artemis II crew, NASA astronauts Victor Glover, Reid Wiseman, and Christina Koch, and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, pose for a photo after a Moon tree dedication ceremony, Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at the United States Capitol in Washington. The American Sweetgum tree planted on the southwestern side of the Capitol, was grown from a seed that was flown around the Moon during the Artemis I mission.


A United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket with Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner spacecraft aboard launches from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Wednesday, June 5, 2024, in Florida. NASA’s Boeing Crew Flight Test is the first launch with astronauts of the Boeing CFT-100 spacecraft and United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket to the International Space Station as part of the agency’s Commercial Crew Program. The flight test, which launched at 10:52 a.m. EDT, serves as an end-to-end demonstration of Boeing’s crew transportation system and will carry NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to and from the orbiting laboratory.

Technicians inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida prepare to rotate the agency’s largest planetary mission spacecraft, Europa Clipper, to a vertical position on Tuesday, May 28, 2024, as part of prelaunch processing. Slated to launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket later this year from Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy, Europa Clipper will help determine if conditions exist below the surface Jupiter’s fourth largest moon, Europa, that could support life.

Astronaut Eugene A. Cernan, lunar module pilot, egresses the Apollo 10 spacecraft during recovery operations in the South Pacific. U.S. Navy underwater demolition team swimmers assisted in the recovery operations. Already in the life raft were astronauts Thomas P. Stafford (left), commander; and John W. Young, command module pilot. The three crewmen were picked up by helicopter and flown to the prime recovery ship, USS Princeton.


Helen Ling was a supervisor for the computing group at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the 1960s. She was influential in the inclusion of women in STEM positions at JPL. Ling encouraged women within the computing group to attend night school in order to obtain degrees that would allow them more professional opportunities within JPL. A pioneer for women's rights in the workplace, Helen Ling was so admired in the computing group that those who worked under her lovingly referred to themselves as "Helen's girls." Many of them went on to become computer scientists and engineers within JPL thanks to the mentorship and guidance of Helen Ling.


NASA astronaut Kate Rubins places a sample marker in the soil before collecting a sample during a nighttime simulated moonwalk in the San Francisco Volcanic Field in Northern Arizona on May 16, 2024. A sample marker provides a photographic reference point for science samples collected on the lunar surface.


Present-day Island of Hawai'i coastal flood risk, with higher risk indicated in dark blue, was modeled to help the County of Hawai'i in their shoreline setback plan. Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly data from 2022 Group for High Resolution Sea Surface Temperature Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) indicate low temperatures in the East (red) to high in the West (orange). Inland, high probability locations of wetlands are shown in bright yellow and could aid in climate adaptation planning.



Nighttime, ground-level view of the Apollo 10 space vehicle on Pad B, Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center.

Ich habe Deine Frage nicht ganz verstanden. Man benötigt doch nur einen Spitznamen, eine Mailadresse und ein Passwort für Friendica und andere Dienste hier im Fediverse, deswegen war ich etwas verwirrt.
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

@Michael Vogel Da habe ich wohl missverständlich oder zu umständlich formuliert - sorry. Meine Frage hat Du beantwortet.



"For the girls or women in science — or in any profession or job — opportunities are more abundant than they were previously. Sometimes you need to take bold steps. Just a little push, and then you will get there." — Dr. Yihua (Eva) Zheng, Space Physics and Space Weather Scientist, Heliophysics Science Division, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center


@helpers I updated my OS from Debian 11 to 12 (finally) and when I did, apache2 broke. I've got it reinstalled, but I'm 99% certain it's missing required modules. (see: social.jlamothe.net for the error I'm encountering). Is anyone able to help me hunt down which modules I'm still missing?
in reply to Hypolite Petovan

@Hypolite Petovan @Jonathan Lamothe It's working!

Turns out I'd already fixed the problem, I just had to restart Apache.

It also fixed the problem with my Nextcloud instance!

Funktioniert die libranet.de Domain weiterhin oder muss ich mich dann bei forum.friendi.ca neu registrieren?

Wird das Twitter plugin irgendwann wieder funktionieren? Man kann ja zumindest die Posts fetchen:
nitter.poast.org/elonmusk

in reply to Mister Frety

Posten nach Twitter funktioniert, das Holen von Beiträgen nicht. Ich persönlich werde auch keine Zeit darin investieren zu schauen, wie es bei Nitter geht.


@Friendica Support @Michael Vogel Auf der Seite zum Wechsel des Kontos werden in Gerhards Gedankenbuch oft Neueingänge angezeigt, die es gar nicht gibt. Sie werden nur auf dieser Seite angezeigt, aber nicht im Gedankenbuch selbst.

Ist das ein Bug oder hat oder welchen Hintergrund gibt es dafür?


in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

Das eine ist eine Einstellung, damit der Kontakt nicht auf der Netzwerkseite erscheint. Das andere ist eine Liste mit Kontakten. Ich sehe da nicht die Gemeinsamkeit.


Guten Morgen @Friendica Support mir ist gerade aufgefallen, dass diese Friendica Instanz (anonsys.net) nicht mehr im Verzeichnis auftaucht: dir.friendica.social/servers/d…
Hat das einen bestimmten Grund?

@Tuxi :Friendica: 🐧 ✅ I know. But wouldn't it be a nice feature, if the admin would be informed by DM, when its site is kicked or the health score is updated?


Safety is important, no matter where you're viewing the eclipse. NASA astronauts aboard the International Space Station show off their eclipse glasses, which allow safe viewing of the Sun during a solar eclipse.


Two full-scale development model rovers that are part of NASA's CADRE (Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Exploration) technology demonstration drive in the Mars Yard at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California in August 2023. The project is designed to show that a group of robotic spacecraft can work together as a team to accomplish tasks and record data autonomously – without explicit commands from mission controllers on Earth.


Fediverse | Probleme bei der Federation


Es gibt im Fediverse einige Newsbots deren 'Anrisse' bei mir scheinbar ohne Link zum Orginalbeitrag sind. Nehmen wir zum Beispiel diesen Beitrag. Bei mir (Friendica) sieht er so aus:

Sprich es gibt nur einen kurzen Textanriss und ansonsten gar nichts. Gehe ich dann auf den Orginalbeitrag (ebenfalls Friendica), so sieht es so aus:

Nun stellt sich die Frage wo unterwegs das Bild als auch der Link auf der Strecke geblieben sind. Liegt es daran das ich die Vorschau für Links deaktiviert habe? Wenn ja, dann müsste ja doch trotzdem irgendwo der entsprechende Link im Beitrag sein, oder sehe ich das falsch?

Achso, der Vollständigkeit halber findet man hier auch noch die verlinkte Seite bei DW.

#Frage #Fediverse #Friendica #News #LInks #Sascha #2024-03-24 @Friendica Support

in reply to Sascha 😎 🏴 ⁂ (Fediverse)

PR ist erstellt: github.com/friendica/friendica…

Nur ein kleiner Hinweis zum Betreff: "Probleme bei der Federation" wären es, wenn Beiträge oder Kommentare nicht verteilt würden. Das hier war ein Darstellungsproblem.

in reply to Michael 🇺🇦

Für mich wäre es eine Verschlechterung, wenn der Link zusätzlich angezeigt wird, ohne der nicht irgendwann gekürzt wird. Link sind teilweise so lang, wie ein Blogbeintrag. Solche Beiträge sind unbrauchbar.

Wenn sich die PR nur auf Beiträge ohne Vorschau bezieht, ok.

in reply to Matthias

Der Link wird nur angehängt, wenn er nicht schon irgendwo im Beitrag steckt und wenn ausgewählt wurde, dass man keine Vorschau haben möchte.

Es sieht jetzt so aus:

in reply to Matthias

Ich danke Euch beiden. War halt komisch bei diesen ind anderen Newsbots immer nur den Anriss und sonst nichts zu haben. Ich wünsche Euch nen schönen Sonntag. :-)
in reply to Sascha 😎 🏴 ⁂ (Fediverse)

Das ist der Unterschied. Der Link wird bei Mastodon immer mitgeliefert. Die brauchen den, weil der Content nicht on the fly erzeugt wird, sondern irgendwo im Hintergrund.


@Friendica Support @Michael Vogel Beim Aufruf meines Kontos gerhardsgedankenbuc@squeet.me werden nach wie vor Aktivitäten angezeigt, die es nicht gibt.
Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, diesen Fehler dauerhaft zu beheben?


@Friendica Support Wenn ich eine Email-Benachrichtigung über eine neue Aktivität in meinem Blog gerhardsgedankenbuc@squeet.me bekomme und in dieser Email unten auf den notify-Link klicke, erhalte ich diese Meldung. Ist das Absicht oder ein Bug?
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

@Michael Vogel Sowohl mein oldie- wie mein Blog-Konto werden beide unter den Daten des oldie-Kontos geführt. D.h. im Umkehrschluss, dass ich auch in meinem Blog mit den Daten des oldie-Kontos angemeldet bin.
Wie kann ich dieses Problem lösen?
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

Du schaltest ja zwischen den Konten mit Hilfe des Menüpunktes "Nutzerkonten" um. Wenn oben rechts "Oldie" steht, klappen die Links auf Benachrichtigungen für "Oldie" und wenn oben rechts der Blog steht, klappen Links auf Benachrichtigungen des Blogs.


@Friendica Support Bei meinem Gedankenbuch wird schon seit einigen Wochen ein neuer Kommentar angezeigt, obwohl es keinen gibt. Welchen Grund könnte es dafür geben?
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

Ich habe jetzt mal alle Benachrichtigungen als gelesen gekennzeichnet und der genannte Hinweis ist verschwunden. Ich konnte allerdings nicht nachvolllziehen, welchen Kommentar o.ä. ich übersehen haben sollte.
in reply to Gerhard Hallstein

Heute trat dieser Fehler erneut auf: Es wurden 5 Benachrichtigungen in dem o.g. Screenshot angezeigt, aber keine oben im Blog bei den Benachrichtigungen (Glockensymbol). Ich habe wieder alle Benachrichtigungen als gelesen gekennzeichnet, ohne zu wissen, ob ich möglicherweise Kommentare o.ä. übersehen habe.

Könnte das mal jemand prüfen?
@Michael Vogel ?
