I missed it (seeing the Aurora) .. are there any reliable alerts for this sort of event, that do not alert me about anything else, but really only such big events?

Yeah, there were auroras even as far south as Munich. Maybe not as intense, but it's the first aurora I ever saw, so I can't really judge...
I am south-west of Munich and with a perfect clear sky I could only see stars, one meteor, and that's it.

#183Our network router in our radio station started acting crazy at 22:00:40 Europe/Ljubljana time. Uptime monitoring via HTTPS reported downtime for 5 minutes, but our radio archive that records audio over LiveWire recorded some bitcrushing effects for 5 minues. Maybe our Mikrotik hEX was flipping some bits? Recording from the radio archive: https://splet.4a.si./dir/solar.mp3
Yes, sounds similar to a corrupted digital audio. Replace hex with something more robust, at least with an actual metallic case.

#184Just had my first uncorrectable memory read error on our servers in 10 years or so today (in Sacramento). I'd like to think it's related because the alternative (buying new DIMMs) is too horrifying to contemplate

#185Had to stay up until 2am shutting down our spacecraft. Stupid sun hates to see me get a solid night’s sleep.

#186We had intense aurora in Berlin, Germany. Green clouds dancing in the sky levels. Started around 22:10 local time or a bit earlier, and at this point there's only a faint red/green glow remaining.
I was just out at a dog park and saw nothing! We have clear skies. I can't believe I missed this.

*skin sloughs off*
You didn't see any graphite because it's not there!
Casting (who played who), acting, costumes and scenography (where did they get all these '80 soviet cars), and choice of scenes to film.
I had my hair rising when the guy cleaning roof of a building neighboring the reactor got stuck in deadly radiation zone for 4x the allowed 13 seconds. "You're dead comrade."

#189I wonder if we're going to see an aurora over Seattle tonight?
In Seattle you can barely see planets.
