For the last year or so, astronomers and sky lovers have been waiting for the explosion of T Coronae Borealis. The system is a notorious recurring nova, which is expected to go any moment now, but still has not. So, while astronomy can be a cruel mistress, making us wait, it can also be a generous mistress since there is also a brand new and unexpected nova in the night sky that you can see. Its name is V462 Lupi. A nova is a stellar object that suddenly brightens in the night sky, usually to a

Reading Time: 30 minutes In today’s edition of “don’t trust LLMs”, we learn that despite what AI tells you, AWS Backup doesn’t support Cross-Account and Cross-Region backups. It supports Cross-Account copying and Cross-Region copying, but apparently not together.

When I was fourteen, my family went on a Caribbean cruise.

One of the games that really caught my eye during the Xbox Games Showcase at the beginning of June was The Blood of Dawnwalker, a dark fantasy action-RPG from Rebel Wolves, the studio co-founded by Witcher 3 director Konrad Tomaszkiewicz.
