Will there be any pie in your Pi Day?
@ottaross we're not really a pie household, so it's unlikely. We do like a good crumble now and again though.

@ottaross no because we do dates in the correct order DDMMYYYY
@humanhorseshoes I think the safest approach is to celebrate all conceivable date combinations that represent an excuse for pie.

@astrovore I think crumble could have honourary pie status.

@ottaross I work at a pizza-software company and Pi Day is statistically a "pizza attracting day" (most customers are in the US).
Seems like more of a US thing, but pizzas are regularly called pies, even outside of Chicago-style ones.
It's also my birthday and I'm going to Pizza Nerds with my family so I'm doing my bit.

@ottaross We pre-celebrated last night with a home made pizza. On purpose, of course. 😉

@ottaross I’m making a pie today. Will also make a pie on Nov 10 (or there about) the 314th day of the year. Love pi and pie.

@braxa26 suitable!

@uhandrew good strategy. Don't miss 22/7 (22 July) which is another good pie opportunity.

@spraoi spooky pi pies. Nice.

Bellissimo... Ma è una mia impressione o manca un pezzo fondamentale all'orologio solare??

Take Pi for a Spin in this Orbital Simulator
It’s Pi Day, and while we know that many of you celebrate privately, those that take a moment to put aside their contemplation of all things circular and join us on this mathematically-significant day will likely know the name [Cristiano Monteiro]. Since 2022 he’s made it a yearly tradition to put together a themed project every March 14th, and he’s just put the finishing touches on the 2026 edition.
Generally, [Cristiano] sends in some interesting hardware device that visualizes the calculation of pi, but this year he surprised us a bit by delivering a software project. His Orbital Pi Simulator allows you to see what would happen to an orbiting spacecraft if it’s navigation system suddenly believed the value of pi was something different.
In broad strokes, we can imagine what would happen. If you plug in something significantly higher than 3.14, the orbit becomes elliptical to the point that the craft can fly off into deep space. Drop the value down, and the orbit will intersect with the Earth — a guaranteed recipe for a bad time.
The Kerbal Space Program players in the audience will no doubt point out that a spacecraft in a stable orbit would more or less stay on that same trajectory indefinitely and not need to manually adjust its velocity in the first place. Further, they would argue that said spacecraft suddenly firing its thrusters retrograde because a flipped bit in its computer resulted in the value of pi suddenly being 1.2 isn’t very realistic. Those people would be correct, but they would also be no fun at parties.
Fans of math and/or circles will no doubt be interested in the previous devices [Cristiano] has built to mark this date. Last year he put together a robotic hand that counted out pi with its 3D printed fingers, and in 2024 he used the Pepper’s Ghost illusion to great effect. For those wondering, not everything he does is pi-related. The portable GPS time server he sent out way in 2021 was a particularly slick piece of hardware.

Sono molto d'accordo, ma è sempre un equilibrio tra sicurezza e comodità.Dovremmo usare solo libreboot , ma anche anche per il mio laptop più vecchio non ho compatibilità.
Se parliamo a livello basso.A livello OS, uso solo Linux , Arch messa insieme (male) da me.
Alla fine di qualcuno ti devi fidare, o ti devi fare tutto tu, ma i tuoi dati verso l'esterno passano in altre mani e....
Non c'è fine.

@pafurijaz esatto... è ora di capirlo... 😄

@stefano_zan Capita di non capirsi...😅
