While we were not watching, the Voyager 1 spacecraft underwent another surgery.
In August, V1 switched thrusters used for orientation control, because the fuel tubes in the thrusters had clogged up with residue.
To perform the switch, the thrusters had to be warmed by turning on its heaters while turning off another set for an hour.
All very tricky and risky operations, performed from 22.8 light-hours away on 1970’s era hardware.
Kudos again to the Voyager team.

My messages are sharing location data? With third parties? Google I think you need to sit down for a cup of tea and no biscuits.
I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching Thomas pottering about parts of Germany in his Trabant.

We monitor traffic to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com per country & got alerts that daily requests from Angola have dropped off loads recently.
Looking at the Angola traffic split by network AS. AS36907 traffic looks suspicious! Spidey sense triggered...the "before" traffic was *way* too consistent.
Digging in to the logs, looks like they removed their Fortigates on 6th Sept. which'd been sending 343k req/day for www.bbc.co.uk/ , every single day!
Gotta love being on the internet!
I don't blame him. Modern life can kill.
