// I don’t know how this works, but it works, please don’t touch it

the most incoherent piece of code you have seen in your life, taken directly from the Book of the Death

The OG blackbox

The forbidden frosted sugar.

It has happened enough times to me being really aware of removing batteries of any device that does not see constant use

For the few people being able to have access to those lot gardens, maybe.

The big thing is when you run the numbers.

The minimum amount of lang needed to feed a person in optimal conditions is around 1000m².

In a city like Madrid each person has available around 100m² and in that space it goes all the housing, public spaces, services, streets, etc.

How much space could be taken from everything else to create urban farming land? It’s really hard to think that it wouls be enough to even amount for more than a few percent points of what it’s needed.

And we have to take into account that all urban space dedicates to farm won’t be usable for anything else. When you try to universalize it the numbers are just really hard to reconcile.

Yes! We have some of them. But the area and capabilities of the terrain doesn’t give nearly enough for actual food purposes.

You can have a few good tomatoes harvest, but nothing that could actually sustain people.

Spain.

I’ve been trying to find it but no luck for now. I will quote again if I find it!

Back in uni I had some teachers that had actually done a scientific study on the possibilities of urban food growing, and the results were that it was unsuitable for anything more that just a recreational activity.

We don’t.

I don’t see any benefit to society in doing so. Why the hell does the government need to know what my gender is at any point?

I agree that gender public records should disappear.

I’m still on 10.11. I guess is best to do a few intermediate upgrades just in case? Though an user ok the forum said it had no issues upgrading directly from 10.11

I have my own unproved theory that the increase in problems with focus and attention spam of children are not from screens, tik tok, or infinite scroll. They are from advertisements, a format deliberately crafted to be short, intense and to mess with your brain so you buy.

Advertisements in media have been growing over the years and becoming more hypnotic and intense also.

I have like 30 different services running on the same machine.

That’s why you want to use some container solution, I use docker for simplicity.

Also raspberry pi is not great for self hosting. Any cheap x64 machine will be much more powerful for the same price, and have less compatibility issues.

Example of California hydro generation

Both are needed for a healthy power structure.

Wind, solar even with batteries have low innertia (actually no innertia at all by themselves). If you want to resist turbulences on the power network without free innertia resistance by turbines (nuclear, gas, hydro), you need expensive equipment to generate that innertia other ways, and it can get quite expensive.

Hydro would be great but it’s highly seasonal.

Try to find a forest where I can go live like an animal. Let’s see if I can even make it 6 months.

This is a good idea. Knowing that nvidia bought huggingface, I’m sure that they will start banning and/or paywalling more models there sooner than later.

A country where the alt right is on the rise.

A country where everything is better than 30 years ago I would assume the alt right would have probably not growth that much.

Housing cost increase, for instance, is happening in all Europe, which is one of the places of the world where the alt right is skyrocketing their electoral results.

For instance Germany, where latest elections have shown a worrying rise of AfD has this chart of house prices.

The graph shows a blimp down in 2024, but in recent data the prices are already rising again in 2026.

Also my country is not a neighborhood, it’s a 50 million people place, and one of the biggest countries of the EU who might fall to an alt right government as soon as 2027. And live being much better in other countries is not something people who vote here take into consideration, they value how their own lives have been getting better or worse. Saying that “spme other country in the world” is going better have zero relevance when talking about alt right rising in specific countries.

Google have been years seeing how far they can push linux GPL.

At this rate android will end up being closed source.

I don’t think we can objectively say everything is better.

Some things are better, but some are worse. The overall I agree is better but there are some harsh realities that are real, not product or any information warfare.

Housing prices are just much higher. The amount of years needed to work to pay off a house are just much more than it used to.

Salaries are, overall, lower when you account for inflation. Same amount of working hours let you consume less food, fuel, energy and amenities compared to a few decades ago.

On a personal note, even my salary has been increasing below inflation rate. I used to be able to apply for social aid, and I’m no longer able to because they say my income is over the limit. I’m earning less and still got excluded from social programs.

There are many things better. We have more freedoms, more knowledge, we are healthier. There are many great things now compared to before. But it is objectively true that some matters, mostly economical ones, have gone worse for the average worker.

For most countries where the alt right is rising, and specially among alt right voters, “immigration” is among the first perceived problems in the polls.

Most people I’ve talk that vote alt right don’t really care about the rest of the agenda of the party they vote, they are even against it, but they vote alt right because they perceive immigration as a severe issue.

So, for the people who vote for those parties, that’s the main reason they are doing it.

Now, why they perceive immigration as such a threat as to vote for something they don’t even like? That’s a much more complex issue, that I think it has a lot to do with the fall in socioeconomic progress many countries are living right now.

5 years the last one.

The hardware, including battery, worked great. But it has been lacking updates for some years and I’m worried about vulnerabilities. LineageOS was also not available for this phone.

I bought a phone with 7 years updates and my initial intention is keeping it for 7 years. More if an stable and secure version of LineageOS is available down the line.
