Amazing! I’m a huge fan, I host my personal GtS and highy recommend

Yeah, no, I’m not going through two different ‘prove you’re not a robot’ screens for one article about RAM chips, thanks.

Also, maybe this calls for a wiki post? 👀

I need to give serious think to my infrastructure and capability, but I’ll let you know

Hmm, I’d need to check how feasible it would be to ship a server from Portugal to Dublin…

Depending on where you are geographically…?

Right, what we need right now is tens of trolley problems riding our streets…

Dive Brief:

• California lawmakers approved a sweeping energy package at the end of the legislative session that does not include funding to continue two grid reliability programs, including a virtual power plant advocates believe is the largest in the world.
• Earlier this year, the state faced a $12 billion budget shortfall, and the two programs were in limbo for months as legislators negotiated down to the wire. The bills awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature after the session closed Saturday include proposals aimed at bringing down energy costs, expanding the Western grid and codifying virtual power plants in longterm planning.
• Advocates say gutting the Demand Side Grid Support and Distributed Electricity Backup Assets programs threatens to undermine the state’s progress toward a more resilient grid that can respond to system stress by calling on batteries, electric vehicles, rooftop solar panels, smart thermostats and other energy resources that are increasingly common in homes, businesses and institutions.

You could even use the ‘smart’ temp sensor and plug to power it on when the temp rises above the desired value, but probably won’t be buyable in your local hardware store… Also, R-134a and other refridgerants are vety potent greenhuse gases, so maybe don’t release that…

You made me reade this article, which I dismissed as a clickbait before, but I cannot find it. Where is that implication?

Soooooo, hopefully it is still relevant to anyone, since I just found this post and actually have something :D What I would do (and probably will in the future, since I have a setting idea that would involve this), is to take a look at the special rules that exist right now for not-exactly-human player entities: ghosts, hulls and vampires.
I am personally looking at hulls, and how having a different hull size changes starting features, but also the way vampire feeding works… Hope this helps and can’t wait to hear about what you came up with, since the post is two years old hahaha 😅

It probably also has to do with the fact that Hungary is entirely in the russian pocket, just saying.

Plant a tree, let it be, don’t mow around it, leave the leaves, and when it dies or breaks, also leave it there, it’s all alive!

No, I want to plant trees because it helps to have a resilient ecosystem that’s more safe in case of a cascade collapse. I want to plant trees because they provide shade in the summer. Because they improve the soil. Because they help prevent floods. Because they give birds food and shelter. Because they are fucking PRETTY.

Can we start thinking about the whole thing instead of acting as if i single problems that are not interconnected?

Plant some fucking trees, even if they are not just carbon sequestration batteries.

Hi!

because it’s how you show people “you don’t need to subject yourself to the whims of a Nazi billionaire or the greedy pigboy aping him”.

I still think it’s better done on the case-by-case, and instance basis, as mentioned, Don’t talk about fediverse was realy meant as a provocation (and it’s working :P), I just think we would do better shifting the topic of conversation from technicals and infrastructure and apis to communities and content, because to be honest I believe it is already here.

I think it’s important to be aware of a few options, and be able to answer questions about apps, but I fully agree we shouldn’t advertise the Fediverse based on apps. Specially since you can always check the content without one, even from a phone.

💯 Absolutely. Apps are amazing, but people don’t want the app because it is shiny, but because of what it can give them. Community, topics, ‘content’.

people eventually migrate from the general purpose instances to more specific ones, as they find their own homes here.

I believe it is already happening, honestly, and I love it!

@Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com does this have all the comments from cross-posts in various communities? That is amazing!

Honestly? It is not a problem I have, and I’m really happy about that :P But yes, I think it’s very handy to have a quick reply like that, but as you probably already suspect, I avoid general meta topics like that, simply because I don’t really have much interest in Reddit itself :)
