    Why Doomerism is not the Answer | SolarpunkAlana
  • Feels like world peace just shifted with Trump inauguration...

  • Why Doomerism is not the Answer | SolarpunkAlana
  • Thanks for your detailed answer.

    We should keep in mind that it's a systemic problem, which means we should change the system. Sure we'll rely on technology, but that alone won't be enough and we'll have to rethink how we live with other people.

    Limits to Growth isn't really about degrowth, but that constant growth isn't a sustainable model and we should change that. It was a warning in 1972, it's now a possible future.

    It's not an individual problem, but a systemic problem. And some people are gaming the system against the vast majority, and we are not winning.

    I agree we should explore how to fix this, and ways to organize ourselves to grow food, but we shouldn't think it will be easy to live in a peaceful world. As Trump is elected, there are some clear sign we will go to war...

  • Why Doomerism is not the Answer | SolarpunkAlana
  • Feels like she's pushing denial and techno-solutionism. She didn't talk about meadows report or resources scarcity, which would be the main arguments of doomers.

  • am i an idiot: selfhosting a Signal Proxy and/or a Tor Relay
  • Signal Proxy is fine, and it's helpful for people who live in countries that block Signal. I ran it during Iran revolution. It's only a nginx forward proxy.

    Tor exit relay is a big no-no since you may expose yourself to illegal content. But you can run a relay without it being an exit node.

  • Excess memes and ‘reply all’ emails are bad for climate, researcher warns
  • Why the fuck are they posting this bullshit? The cost of an email include the cost of the device you use to send or read the email, which is 70% of the cost. Then it's 15% (energy wise) to transport the email. The cost of storing the email is 0.5%.

    With that in mind, think about how much it costs to watch 1h on YouTube or Netflix...

    Some explanations in French (sry):

  • Proxy Please: Help People Connect to Signal
  • I run a signal proxy since the Iran revolution, but I had to tweak their project to make it run on rpi. Then I installed Molly and it doesn't support HTTPS porxy, only socks. So I rewrote it with caddy (which is a lot nicer) but now HTTPS doesn't work anymore. Not sure if I did something wrong.

    In the end, I kept the nginx proxy for rhé others.

  • Long-term planning requires climate projections beyond 2100
  • yes, that's the problem. We may still have 47 years of oil left (I think we have less), but the cost to extract it will rise, and the economy will take a hit. So yes, we have to reorganize or we won't have to only think about the climate...

  • Long-term planning requires climate projections beyond 2100
  • if you don't have enough copper to transition to renewable energy, and don't have enough oil to continue, you're in for some fun times...

  • Long-term planning requires climate projections beyond 2100
  • Limits to growth is wrong then? Is there enough oil and copper at the current rate?

  • Long-term planning requires climate projections beyond 2100
  • What's the point if we can't get past 2050?
