Bins floating down the road in Malaga at the moment. We've been kicked out of our meeting room for safety reasons, and are sitting on the floor in the hallway of a higher level in the hotel continuing our meeting.
Hey @SunriseSunsetio, would you consider adding astronomical twilight times to your API? I'd like to build a tool where I can make queries like "What objects will be at least 20° above the horizon for the first 2 hours after astronomical twilight on this particular date?"
Woke up to being locked out of my Facebook account. I have tried accessing it like it said on every device that I've logged in on Facebook before is, doesn't change. I've logged out and back in, done 2FA challenge successfully, but still the same locked out message.
There are no other options than "Try coming back on a phone or computer you've used to log into Facebook before." I've come back on both my phone and my computer. Both say the same thing. I use Facebook Messenger a lot and am currently cut off from everyone.

Twitter brains trust, iptables question:
If I REDIRECT a packet to localhost on the nat OUTPUT chain, where does the packet go next? Will it still go through the filter OUTPUT chain, does it get sent straight to the input path, or something else?
I have definite proof that WhatsApp shares contact information with Facebook. I just double checked, my Facebook app does not have permission to read my contacts on my phone.
We have no mutual friends, we don't live in the same country. The ONLY way that Facebook could have associated this person with me is through WhatsApp.
Completely unscientific poll, what keyboard layout (or variant of) do you use?
