One of the first things I learned during my electronics apprenticeship was that changes in a value are much more intuitive to read with an analog pointer (or a digital replication of one).
This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My brother, who is a hobby astronomer, called me and sent me outside. Initially, I saw only a faint red glow in the northeast of the sky, but after a few minutes, my eyes adapted and I could see how it slowly moved and changed its form over time. I stayed outside for maybe 15 minutes and then went back inside. An hour later, I went outside again and almost the whole sky was shining in all different colors and forms, from patches to clouds to pillars that seemed to support the heavens, ever chaning. Incredible.
In southern Netherlands at the coast, with a 10 sec exposure, iPhone 12 mini, main cam, I was able to see some pink and green with streaks. To my eyes it was like faint clouds that changed to quickly to be clouds, better visible when I didn’t look straight at them. Your pics are something else, but what was it like to your eyes?
In the east of the Netherlands I was seeing something similar to what you describe, but when particularly active I also saw a reddish glow in places. This is a timelapse I made around the same time:

From Bournemouth in the UK, I got the same impression as you - looking like cloud sheets, but more straight lines than, say, what windblown contrails look like. No clear color visible to me but the location wasn't anywhere near "dark".
I've seen impressive (and colorful) aurora before, and can well imagine it might've looked splendid in (darker) places. Don't give up ... maybe more on the way.
The colors in my pics are a bit more intense than they were to the eyes, but not by that much. They were all clearly visible, including all the structures, glowing. It is pretty dark where I come from, the next city is dozens of kilometers away.
Thanks, I'm in Bavaria, so there
might have been be a chance and the other comments say there are more solar storms upcoming. Definitely will have my eyes in the sky tonight. The images are amazing, btw.
It should definitely have been possible to see it from Bavaria. It was definitely visible in northern Italy. Big cities might have to much light pollution though. Let's hope we get lucky tonight.
A lot of people around me in Germany from all ages and bubbles use this feature in WhatsApp as if it were some kind of Instagram. I see multiple status updates every day.
I just found out that if you block all cookies for google.com in your browser, they will never ask you for your consent. Very helpful if you clear your cookies regularly. You can also do the same for youtube.com.
I recently started my journey with "Crash Course Philosophy" [0] by PBS. They give you a very accessible, high level overview on many topics with practical examples and thought experiments.
Those formats exists. For example, I am subscribed to Krautreporter [1] from Germany. They started with a Kickstarter campaign in 2014 and are now organized as a "Genossenschaft" and are entirely supported by memberships and subscriptions.

I've been using https://tt-rss.org/ for many years now. I'm hosting the backend on a small VPS just for myself. The web client and the Android app are great and the whole stack is rock solid. Highly recommended if you want to read your feeds on multiple devices and keep them in sync.
The problem is that the guide is out of date in terms of toolchain, and you need to figure out many things by yourself, especially if you want to develop on Linux. My book helps you to understand how to learn and write x86 with Intel manuals (this is really important!), understand how to craft a custom ELF binary that is debuggable on bare metal, which in turn requires you to understand a bit of how debugger works.
Once you get gdb working, it is much easier to learn how to write an operating system.
Oh, good to know! I'll keep that in mind and keep a bookmark of your book and your implementation.
Actually, I wanted to start writing an OS by following the BrokenThorn tutorial and was quite naive. After reading some pages it came to me that I don't know much assembly and so I started learning from Jeff Duntemanns Assembly book [1]. As far as I can see, your book also teaches the basics of assembly, it seems more friendly to beginners. Maybe it will be a better start for me. Thanks for putting in the hard work!
