I believe the concept of nature is weird for some people and also not very informative. For uninterested people nature is everything that is green or outside of cities. I’ve actually have become progressively disappointed by the number of people I directly know, that are actively afraid, grossed out or bothered by the idea of just hiking very normal and marked trails very close to cities in places without any dangerous animals. For them nature is something to fear. So even if I think the nature is a alive angle may appeal to some people I’m not sure it fixes that fear.

Very interesting. It would be a great idea to pass on the benefits of renewables to consumers. It really makes no sense to base the energy price on the price of fuel in countries where most energy is generated from renewables like the southern European countries. It just benefits the companies. Even if it helps build more of those renewables at this point people need to see the advantages on their energy bills.

Also I think more encouragement/incentives for self production would really help people feel more involved in the transition. By allowing them go have a sense that energy does not magically appear from the air. This of course will need some grid improvements but would increase energy autonomy, reliance and a sense of local power to populations.

I thought about that too. A lot of people are too eager to blame this or that power generation when what I think failed was the network as a whole because it’s such a massive system and a monolith. I really thought it was more modular than that.

Also in that day anyone with their own solar panels at least had some energy. So like you said, smaller systems are more resilient.

For me, it’s a consideration for the future, making sure that if I have to, I have some power generating capacity, maybe even some storage.

What? Is the server Portugal based? I’m surprised to see fellow Portuguese people around here. Always assumed it was american or danish or something. Good to know!

About the blackout I would stay away from jumping to theories right now since the investigation is still on going and way too much was made up in that afternoon with no power. I think the latest theory is related to instability caused maybe by too much solar power suddenly injected into the network in Spain, which caused the network to crash which in turn crashed the Portuguese one. But, as far as I read this is the latest theory not a definite one so take it with a grain of salt.

Is it? Maybe both? A movement against climate change makes sense? A movement for climate change in the sense of raising the issue could also make sense? What a funny language

I do have a few things that are from outdoor brands so possiblity it impacts how long they last.

I don’t know. I think I got lucky with a few pieces of clothing and mostly try to focus on quality long lasting stuff. But like I said I don’t really buy much. My jeans are all pure denim and my tshirts tend to be heavier. And I think that’s it. The only thing I notice that doesn’t hold up very well is knitted sweaters. They tend to stretch over time.

My clothes last me an unusual amount of time when compared with most people I think (15 year old tshirts) and don’t really buy clothes at all unless something is at the limit of repairability or looking very bad.

I want to ride my bike more. I work from home so I use it mostly to go the gym but I want to use for more things. Like shopping and stuff like that. I’m thinking of buying an electric one to help out since I live in a city with steep hills and an electric one would make it more likely to use.

I agree with you. They are good principles. I was just saying not every commit is merged into main and that doesn’t make it less useful in the local context even if you don’t adhere to those principles. Am I crazy to assume that people tend to avoid merging things into main that don’t work? 😅 Git is more than a project sharing tool. I use for projects I do alone. I use it even when I don’t sync it to anywhere because it’s good to have save points

Good analysis, there are a few things that I think area bit opinionated and there is nothing wrong with that, I just don’t agree with a few things out of context. For example I agree that code on main should be buildable and testable. Code in your own branch should be for yourself and should still have commits. Also lazygit really abstracts a huge chunk of git logic while making it easier to understand.

If you can improve the soil there that’s seems like a good plan. I would go with a sealable container maybe those boxes that have a latch. But I imagine everytime it opens the smell won’t be very nice

That is a very good question. I too want to know. But also you need any escape for that compost. Do you have roof garden or balcony?

Make one, share it here. Would love to use it

Lazygit, beautiful, terminal based, runs everywhere

Very cool! I’m mostly excited to see the boom of the solar energy industry. Not just for selling but also for personal use. Feel like a whole new thing is coming that somehow not tainted by another industry hidden interests
