    Is it just me or does this ssh key's #randomart image looks fairly close to "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" by #Hokusai?

    "Despite China’s recent attempts to clean up the pollution, it will be a long time before the air is clean again. We should have kept our environment clean to begin with instead of trying to fix it after the damage is done." - Wenqing Yan (Yuumei)

    Yuumei's thought relates to George Carlin's Saving the Planet ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7W33HRc1A6c ).

    I guess campaigns entitled or with ambitions set on saving the planet may become more effective if they target humans instead.

    I remember from school days of stuff like the earth day as noted on Carlin's video and I think it doesn't really accomplish the desired effect. I guess the younger kids will remember it as something for the earth and maybe the other animals inhabiting it but not the humans. And, if it isn't about them nor affecting them directly: "why bother?".

    The unfortunate "why bother?" attitude triggered by others' issues is also referred in Carlin's video as a first problem to tackle in order to actually make change and thrive. How so?

    From Complex Systems Theory we have phenomena as emergence where some spontaneous order seems to arise from self-interested individuals. As noted by Fernando Pessoa in "The only social reality is the individual" ( http://arquivopessoa.net/textos/1767 ) - Aristoteles said that "The society exists for the individual, not the individual for the society" - in the words of Pessoa:

    "Being the individual the only social reality, the egoism is the only real quality, although, by many disguises and artifices, in the course of social evolution (I don't say of progress, because I don't know - nor does anyone know - whether there is progress) altruistic feelings, tuning of the instincts.

    So that the individual may have a social life that is a development element, or, in other words, so that the society is a favorable environment to his development, it is mandatory to settle such society in a egoistic concept. Therefore, nations are naturally formed. A nation is the second primary social element. Humanity doesn't group fraternally other than by opposition. We always unite so we can oppose. This is, actually, a logic principle: define is to limit.".

    Later on the same text: "Composed of humans, the society, whatever it is in essence, will forcibly manifest the same qualities than the humans involved." - Fernando Pessoa

    We can just deduce that a change on the egoistic nature of the individual is the only way of start making an actual change. Otherwise the system will just converge back to its original center. It is essential for the human species to learn taking care of one another. Rather than save the planet campaigns we need a very well designed education system capable of giving an important social and philosophical education starting on very early stage.

    Fernando Pessoa in "(II)F. Any civilized society is characterized..." ( http://arquivopessoa.net/textos/1767 ) states: "Progress is the rebellion against the specie.".

    I believe a general rebellion to those negative traits of our own specie is the only way to propagate a change through this complex system and consequently benefit *every* _individual_. https://loadaverage.org/attachment/5168197

    @JordiGH a VPN provider is a serious choice to make. You're going to be sending them ALL of your traffic and have to take their word for it that they won't log it or alter it. What if PIA runs on hard times and has to choose between selling your data and feeding their kids? What if they get served a secret sopeana? These are questions you HAVE to ask yourself when choosing a VPN provider. Having that decision make for you by Purism is highly questionable.

    Plus, it shows favoritism to a specific commercial service provider, which I don't like. If they had shipped with built-in OpenVPN or Wireguard support with an option to select a VPN provider from a bunch of them, that'd be much much better.

    :pigbutt: :gayduck: !!!!

    The cutting laser works!!!

    We successfully had it cut though 3mm plywood unsupervised!!!!!

    The line is nice and thin and it is very very precise.

    It takes longer than the CNC machine, and instead of dust there are fumes to worry about so we are making a better enclosure, but it works!!

    Really, they'd be rushing around collecting revisions to go into the next scheduled quarterly public data update, not publishing them immediately, but you have to embellish things a little for Hollywood.

    Did you know `ncdu`? I'm using this for years to find out where all my precious disk space is lost. Unlike other solutions it works in a terminal and this way even on remote servers… or gorram mobile phones always short on anything.

    particles in #godotengine are superb! i just tested the emission of particles via a mesh, and it is really convincing - the time to get how to update the points at each frame and it weill be possible to link them to a moving object :)

    @xiroux
    https://www.duckdns.org/ #Duckdns seems pretty cool, it doesn't need any special software, I could set it up on Plan 9 by putting a hget (curl equivalent) call followed by a sleep in a while true loop

    possible downside: no direct signup, you gotta use some OAuth provider

    but it seems like it's all donation driven
