Follow-up on the peak heating observed inside the avionics box with the wax. This was the worst case, with the Starlink (27 watts) and the Pi (4 watts) on all night. Showing about a 15°C rise during the day, well below melt temps. Typically I'll only run Starlink 6 hours a day,

Project Bob's dashboard is progressing nicely. The ArcGIS Online layers you can pull in are wild, showing global satellite based radar and surface current flow. Of course Grafana on the right side with all the craft metrics. Obviously simulated course tracks right now, we

It's wild that the Meissner effect works in thin films. This is 2 microns of REBCO levitating a neodymium magnet 1000x its own mass.

Being relegated to GCC-High compliant LLM models is crippling. Azure is one of the worst use experiences I've ever had. Cursor's azure connection is also broken. I miss my Claude and Gemini models
