Far, far, away.

A long, long, time ago.

As someone who is currently working at a company that has no problems of cash flow yet is still penny pinching, often on things that would actively save costs after an initial serious investment, yes, I would not change and most probably burn through that money to do positive things for people.

I also have a tendency to look as how things might happen down the road, so time is not really that much of a concern for me.

With so much money at my discretion, I can say with a fair degree of confidence I’d been putting money into projects amd initiatives I would most probably never benefit from their results.

But would I be popular or well liked in that endeavour? I seriously doubt.

The biggest problem with trees is that the real carbon sinkholes are old growth trees and to achieve that it takes decades.

Trees are the best solution available, the cheapest and with the most lateral benefits One, because they actively capture carbon throughout their entire lifespan. Two, because unless some idiot decides to burn a forest for the fun of it, a dead tree does not release the carbon back to the atmosphere but instead it enters the life cycle as the wood degrades by fungi, insect and other plants action.

I live in a formerly heavily forested area and currently the cleared dead wood or underbrush that can become a fire hazard is not longer burned but instead it is chipped and spread on the ground. This is starting to heavily influence the soil, that is becoming more organically rich and retain more water, which in return is helping trees to grow back to where they belong, rebuilding ecosystems.

Algae do, in fact, per unit of mass, take up more carbon but algae in return inject oxygen into the water, which heavily disrupts the chemical balance. Managing water based organic vectors is also a lot more complex than just planting and tending large areas of land to allow forest growth.

Ideally, we should be seeing all available carbon harvesting methods and technologies being heavily incentivized, subsidized and implemented.

A propaganda boy, and in more than one sense.

The next four years are going to be very interesting to watch. If the first try was disastrous, the second is poised to be even worst.

America, you were once a country that could muster respect.

And now I feel in the obligation of writing a bit of smut with monopoly as the kickstarter.

When things get dire, I use vapor with some mint or eucaplitus oil added to the boilling water. It tends to ease things.

The following can be filed under the “too much information”.

My airways act very weird when I get a cold or something is afecting my air ways. My nose tends to feel clogged but I have nothing to discharge, even if I feel the need to. I often have to force ouy whatever there may be backed up in there, often to the point I get light headed and/or dizzy. The first wave is usually clear and very low in volume. The second wave often brings out a deluge of yellow greenish mucus (good sign) or a blob of green greyish stuff, often with blood spots or small strikes (very bad). The third wave makes my ear pop and causes me to start coughing and pull up more gunk that then start to flow without the need for me to try to blow my spine from my back.

Yes. And we always should. The colour of what is coming out can hint how far/how bad you might be on a cold, as well as the consistency. Knowing if you’re losing blood or clots is also important.

Jumanji!!!

Only two died. One fell off a wall at 6, the other was attacked by a dog. Most never married.

If I was to strike out my first sentence, would that spare me the sarcastic remark?

Every single time I stumble upon topics like this i can only remember: ZeroNet

You hosted your own piece of the internet on your machine.

If the target is to just bypass the regular ISPs, that is an entirely different task. The closest I could think about would be creating wide LAN networks, capable of interconnecting with each other, in parallel.

But I risk you’d quickly step on some communications regulation. Laying out cables requires permits. Wireless signals occupy signal bands.

What is it to you? Why are you questioning the arch-enemy of Eternia?

Ugh… I can’t stand this. But Skeletor is just the right person to do it.

Hey, I’m on sopuli!

I only used my email for safety purpose; I tend to forget passwords.

Again, as someone with very low technical skills, I think things could be tweaked to increase traction. Even funding.

I’m not even adverse to see advertisement on the Fediverse, as long as those trying to advertise here keep in mind they want to reach the user base here, not the other way around. To this, it would imply low impact, discreet and highly curated advertisement.

Instances closing down don’t shock me. People have other things to do: real life should take precedence over social media. I like to be here but when my smartphone broke and I was back on a Nokia brick, I didn’t missed it.

An instance shutting down should automatically request to the network transfer of its subscribed users. Again, something the users should be aware of but completely invisible to them.

And even bans should work like that. A user may become persona non grata but they still should be capable of accessing the rest of the network or, at least, request transfer. Hard bans, in my view, only create malice and the creation of other accounts, that will just eat the capability of the instance to receive new users.

As a non tech expert, in my view, the biggest concern for the fediverse to grow, presently, is how difficult it can be to sign up.

Go to a instance listing, try and choose one, signup… all of this should be acessible but mostly invisible for the average user. The user should only be questioned what sort of content they mostly intend to browse, have a NSFW explicit option, perhaps a server location preference, and that should be it.

Beneath the hood, this process should trigger a call to the network requesting a user slot for any server that could cater to that generic profile the prospect user filled. Even bans should be handled differently, in my opinion.

Bourgeoisie?

That’s french for “rich stuck up idiot”.

I always struggled to make the faintest of sense from digimon. Seeing this just I can only say: makes perfect sense.
