  • The Hubble Tension is certainly real. The Hubble Constant can be estimated from a number of completely independent astrophysical phenomena. There is a significant difference in the value computed from 'local' phenomena, and distant phenomena. It is often referred to as the "5 sigma" tension, because that is the statistical significance of the disagreement. This has been know long before James Webb, but as the article says, these observations just lowered the uncertainty on one of the probes. But we were fairly certain already that this tension is real.

    Whether it's a crisis or not is up to the individual. Things not agreeing in science --- especially astrophysics/cosmology --- is just part of the process. I don't know anyone that is 'worried', so much as looking for ways to solve the problem.

  • For everyone talking about the expansion of the Universe, that's not what this is about. The Universe is still expanding, at an accelerating rate. This work is about the rate of structure formation (the large-scale clumpiness of matter) being slowed down, not the expansion of spacetime.

    Pi-Hole Local DNS Record Spamming Query Log

    Hi,

    I have a Pi-Hole set up on my home network, which I access from anywhere through a SWAG reverse proxy at https://pihole.mydomain.org. I have set up a local DNS record in Pi-Hole to point mydomain.org to the local IP of the SWAG server.

    Access from anywhere (local or not) works well. It's just that when I am accessing some services (including the Pi-Hole) from my desktop through the reverse proxy via the DNS record (i.e. on the LAN), the Pi-Hole log gets completely spammed with requests like in the attached image. To be clear, I cropped the image, but it is pages and pages of the same. This is also the case for e.g. the qBittorrent Docker container I have set-up. So I guess it's for 'live' pages which update their stats continuously, which makes sense. But the Pi-Hole log is unusable in this state. This does not occur when I am accessing the services externally, through the same reverse proxy, or when I access them locally with their local IP.

    The thing is, I have already sel

    Status of De-Centralised Instances on NAS Dashboard

    I'm curious if/what others have found a solution to this problem;

    I've been slowly switching most things to decentralised services, such as Piped/Invidious, LibreX search, even Lemmy to some degree. I also recently set up Dashy as a dashboard for my NAS.

    Over the last few weeks, I've encountered many problems with the specific instances of these services that I'm using, and I frequently have to change instance. I'm not sure if others have this problem as well. Especially for LibreX, this is problematic because it's not trivial to change the default search engine on Firefox desktop.

    So I thought it would be nice to have a 'status' widget in Dashy showing the uptime/status of all of the specific instance servers I use --- because sometimes it takes me a while to realise that actually the instance is down, not something else wrong with my network. But the only thing I could figure out how to do is simply put an iframe in Dashy with uptime websites such as [https://gitetsu.github.io/lib
