I’m dying for Spring in Juneau, Alaska.

A multifactor authentication setup screen on an airline's app that won't work internationally or in airplane mode.

Alaska / Hawaiian Airlines is rolling out MFA in their app, which regularly logs you out requiring re-authentication.

At least they are using an offline MFA system that works when traveling off your cell network or are in airplane mode; & not depending on the ability to receive texts, right?

Oh.

Your ballot or other mail may not get postmarked by USPS the day it's dropped off Close to a deadline for mailing your ballot, tax return or legal document? To make sure it gets a postmark on time under the latest USPS changes, you may want to send it early or visit a post office.

PRO TIP if you're filing taxes by mail:

Your tax return may not get postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service the same day it's dropped off.

If you want to make sure your return gets a postmark by the April 15 deadline, go to a post office by Wednesday and ask for one.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

IPAWS is very powerful, but due to its extremely disruptive nature, it is (appropriately) very conservatively used by alerting authorities. It's designed to be pretty much reserved for life and death situations only. And the precision of targeting isn't that great.

I'd love to hear more about the specifics of the technology used for this.

Last day of the ski season and it's still dumping snow at Eaglecrest. There is still loads snow here for weeks longer, but the plan is to close today, so they are done.

Human calendars are dumb.

a spacecraft landing is literally like ALL THE SCIENCES AT ONCE

Juneau, Alaska: needy little hotspot

Thanks for asking! We really like hearing feedback, especially ideas for how we could make things better.

Adding special event live streams to our Roku & Apple TV apps is on our wishlist. Things like AFF, Gavel Alaska events, and GLOF livestreams would be nice to have on that platform.

... And unfortunately streaming via social media like YouTube doesn't work for the Alaska Folk Festival because of music licensing/copyright complications.

Unfortunately the KTOO app on Roku & AppleTV doesn't support ad-hoc live streaming.

The live stream of KTOO 360TV is a special case feed that is basically hard-coded into the app. Everything else on those apps is from our archive library.

Unfortunately not.

Great snow, good weather, and no lift lines!

Why should I continue to subscribe to the @adn.com if they'd rather I just have a machine make stuff up for me instead of supporting local journalism?

Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!

A sign at the end of a driveway in a large pile of snow reads "Snow for sale".

An image of the entire Earth, with Northern Africa and the North Pole visible at the lower left. It looks like daytime but it is actually illuminated by moonlight. There’s a bright arc along the lower right where the sun is coming through from behind. There’s a bright dot on the lower right (Venus) and a glow (zodiacal light). A few stars can be seen in the dark beyond the Earth.

There’s a very bright arc along the lower right where the sun is coming through from behind. There’s a small dot on the lower right (Venus). The background is dark with a few faint stars visible.

The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing! (HT @swapnakrishna.com @jasonc0.bsky.social)

Imagine going to the moon and still being expected to answer emails

On April 1, 1974, Porky Bickar of Sitka faked the eruption of Mount Edgecumbe with burning tires, tricking residents & Coast Guard, the greatest Alaska Fools joke in Alaska history. I guess I can't let the day pass completely without a reminder!

Very happy to say the kids are using "that looks like AI" as an insult

I sympathize, truly, but I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone of the 3-2-1 rule:

3 backups.
2 different formats.
1 offsite.

Juneau’s 20th Century Theater is seeing new life — and a new name — as Aurora Grand The historic downtown Juneau building is being brought back to life after sitting empty for years. The people behind the restoration say they want it to be a space for the community.

Last fall, James McSweeney and his wife decided to take a leap — they started renting the old theater space with the hopes of reopening it. Before this venture, the couple worked on Alaska Marine Highway System ferries for about a decade.

A reminder: today Mar 31 at 11:59pm is the deadline to apply for the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend -

For months, Carnival Corp. has withheld water pollution data from Alaska regulators The dispute centers around a technology used on some Carnival ships called open-loop scrubbers. They're known for reducing air pollution by converting it into water pollution.

Inspection reports and other documents obtained by KHNS through a records request show that Alaska’s largest cruise ship operator for months refused to provide state regulators with data about a major source of water pollution.
