Agreed. I have used a HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer since 2013 as home NAS and Time Machine backups via samba. Rock solid hardware, incredibly expandable, and today runs FreeBSD 15.1 with ZFS. Additional hardware modifications include; CD-ROM replaced by two 3.5" HDDs on mounts (now six HDDs of 10TB each in ZRAID1), a SAS card to add two mirrored bootable SSDs underneath CD-ROM drive space, a 2x 2.5G NIC (limited to 4GB/s slot) for dedicated NFS link, while additional internal SATA and external SATA ports unused. Next: replace PSU fan with quieter Noctua fan.
And yet the very article that you refer to confirms that anecdotal reports by the biologists studying these very animals report that during breeding seasons that the male Southern Hairy-Nose Wombat can reach these speeds in bursts:
>South Australian wildlife biologist [A/Prof] David Taggart has studied the southern hairy-nosed wombat since 1993. In the 2008 and 2024 editions of Strahan's mammal book, he writes that the southern hairy-nosed species can run at 40 kph. "I can confirm that I have clocked this species running at just over 40 kph, although they can't maintain that for long."
One simple question detects motion sickness susceptibility in migraine patients: While riding in a car or bus, can you read without getting motion sick?
>Our results point to one possible answer. The fertility drop is concentrated among young populations and largely operates through declines in unintended births (Buckles et al., 2025), suggesting the operative margin may be less about the cost
of raising a child and more about whether the relationships and sexual activity that produce children are forming at all.
So the current rate is closer to true ‘planned’ rate.
I’ve always appreciated Vanguard’s relative transparency and education material and insight into their thinking. However, I think they should be taking a stronger stance on long-term effects e.g., climate change, as good stewardship for all businesses and economy ad a whole. Allowing the owners to contribute to voting is a small but useful step.
Perhaps relevant here is Melanie Mitchel's comment on LLMs a few years ago:
>"AI researchers are still grappling for the right metaphors to understand our enigmatic creations. But as we humans make choices on how we deploy and use these systems, how we study them, and how we craft and apply laws and regulations to keep them safe and ethical, we need to be acutely aware of the often unconscious metaphors that shape our evolving understanding of the nature of their intelligence."

Magnetohydrodynamic fluids are so cool! The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid, which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself. Thus, a self-generating dynamo.
Looks like this is for older devices only. “Available for: iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, iPad 7th generation” so doesn’t include iPhone 16… nor is available on my device.
A tool to generate a ton of randomized traffic noise using 30+ personas, 10 parallel generators, chaos modes, live headlines, and more! Bash, Python, or both!
+1 for TM to ZFS - although over samba. A ZFS snapshot at each successful disconnection means any occasional corruption is simple to rollback.
Also I’m using nightly Arc backup to B2 of critical files.
