Measuring the Speed of Light with a Microwave Oven:

Materials: - Microwave oven (standard frequency is about 2.45 GHz) - A piece of food that melts or changes color distinctly when heated (e.g., dough, chocolate, or marshmallows) - Ruler or tape measure

Steps:

1. Preparation:

   • Place the piece of food on a plate or directly on the microwave turntable if safe to do so. Make sure it's flat and even.

2. Cooking:

   • Run the microwave for just enough time to see clear cooking patterns but not so long as to burn the food or create too much steam (which could obscure the pattern). A few seconds to a minute should suffice, but this varies based on the food and microwave power.

3. Observation:

   • Once cooked, you'll see dark spots or areas where the food has melted or browned more intensely. These are where the microwave energy was at its maximum (antinodes of the standing wave).

4. Measurement:

   • Measure the distance between two consecutive dark spots. This distance represents half a wavelength because you're looking at the peak-to-peak distance of the standing wave pattern.

5. Calculation:

   • Wavelength: Since you measured half a wavelength, multiply your distance by 2 to get the full wavelength.
     • Let's say you measured 6 cm between spots; then the wavelength is 6 cm * 2 = 12 cm, or 0.12 meters.
   • Speed of Light: Use the formula:
     • Speed of light = Wavelength * Frequency
     • With a frequency of 2.45 GHz (or 2.45 * 10^9 Hz),
     • Speed ≈ 0.12 m * 2.45 * 10^9 Hz ≈ 2.94 * 10^8 m/s (which is close to the actual speed of light in a vacuum, 299,792,458 m/s, considering the approximations and environmental factors like air).

Important Notes:

• Precision: This method provides an educational approximation rather than precise scientific measurement. The speed of light in air is slightly less than in a vacuum, and the exact frequency of your microwave might vary slightly.

• Safety: Never run the microwave with nothing inside or for too long without monitoring. Use caution with hot food.

• Variability: The pattern can vary due to the uneven heating in microwaves, the shape of the food, or the specific design of the microwave, so multiple measurements might give you a better average.

This experiment is a fantastic way to teach about wave physics, the nature of electromagnetic radiation, and how fundamental constants like the speed of light can be explored in everyday contexts. It also demonstrates the principle behind Fizeau's experiment but adapted to a home environment.

Is it just me, or is it weird that our calendar starts with Jesus' birth on Dec 25, yet New Year's is 7 days later? #CalendarConundrum https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1872495220132397195/photo/1

I do remember a time not so long ago where such a setup would have cost a fortune... https://x.com/R34lB0rg/status/1872467888348827656/photo/1

Alright, buckle up because here comes a rant about systemd, the bane of Unix purists and the headache of system administrators everywhere:

Fuck systemd, seriously. It’s like the developers took the Unix philosophy, balled it up, and tossed it out the window. What was once a beautifully simple, modular system has been hijacked by this monstrosity of an init system that thinks it needs to control every goddamn aspect of your Linux box.

Remember the days when you could just tail your logs to see what's going on? Now, you've got to fumble around with journalctl like you're trying to solve a fucking Rubik's Cube. Binary logs? Who the hell thought that was a good idea? It’s like they wanted to make debugging as painful as possible. "Oh, you want to see what went wrong? Here, decrypt this mess with some arcane command!"

And don't even get me started on the boot process. Systemd decided to shove its nose into every nook and cranny, turning what used to be a straightforward, albeit linear, boot sequence into a goddamn spider web of dependencies and services. If one thing's off, your whole system might as well be down because good luck figuring out which of the hundred little unit files fucked up.

Complexity for the sake of complexity, that's what systemd is. It's like they took the KISS principle and turned it into "Keep It Superfucking Complicated." Every little thing now needs a systemd unit file, making what used to be simple scripts into a convoluted mess. And if you dare to deviate from the systemd script? Prepare for a cascade of errors that could bring down your system faster than you can say "I miss SysVinit."

The resource management? Oh, please. Mounting /tmp as tmpfs just to avoid using rm -rf? That's not innovation; it's memory waste. It's like they've never heard of the concept of efficiency. Why bother with RAM when we could just keep things straightforward and disk-based?

And let's not forget the arrogance. Systemd isn't just an init system; it wants to be your network manager, your logging system, your cron replacement. It's like a power-hungry dictator in the Linux world, absorbing everything into its bloated self, leaving no room for alternatives or simplicity.

To all the systemd developers: You've taken something beautiful, something universally loved for its simplicity, modularity, and elegance, and turned it into a sprawling, incomprehensible behemoth. You've made Linux administration not just a job but a fucking puzzle where the pieces keep changing shape.

In conclusion, systemd is an affront to the Unix spirit, a nightmare for those who cherish simplicity, and a daily reminder that sometimes, innovation means making things unnecessarily complicated. Here's to hoping for the day when we can uninstall this mess and go back to systems that don't require a PhD in systemd-ology just to reboot your machine.

If you have multiple servers for your domains and want to use #letsencrypt / #certbot, don't waste your time setting up _acme-challenge CNAME records, instead put a ProxyPass /.well-known/ to the server on which you are running certbot in the apache / vhost config of your other servers.
