  • Can federating be modified so it's not dependent domain names?

  • Reticulum has aspects that you might like, that solves the problem of dependence on domain names, allowing different types of devices to communicate, but also include TCP/IP options. It's pretty cool.

    ‘The damage is done’: global oil crisis has changed fossil fuel industry for ever, IEA chief says

  • Comrade Trump (Pluralistic - 20 Apr 2026)

    Jump

  • was listening to a podcast last year where they talked about the projections the year before of who would be best for carbon emissions, Kamala Harris or Trump, and it was basically a tie. I didn't realise the benefit to Pakistan (and Australia, where we basically got solar panels for free for the last few years thanks to government incentives too), was largely attributable to his first term policies. I'm sure he'd really hate to know he's actually an environmental hero at this point 😂

  • Questions about Matrix Chat

  • ime is hard to get normies to use Element/Matrix, to the point now I know this about Matrix (I've used Element for years and never realised it was closer to Bluesky) I'm going to look into what is functional and under active development in the XMPP space these days.

  • Australia faces pivotal moment as traditional economic model starts to fail

    Jump

  • yes, and what we should be seeing is more support for the less wealthy to be able to join the switch, free power for 3 hours in the afternoon is a step in the right direction, but we should be seeing more subsidies for EVs for lower income households, more street level chargers for renters, and solar for rentals.

  • Overheated cows, flooded highways, and now a fuel crisis: why Australia’s food system is in big trouble

    Jump

  • They did the maths:

    "Current data reveals a significant disparity in energy use between vertical farms and traditional agricultural methods. A 2021 Global CEA Census Report indicated that vertical farms exhibited an average energy consumption of 38.8 kilowatt-hours per kilogram of produce, a stark contrast to traditional greenhouses, which averaged 5.4 kilowatt-hours per kilogram. This difference highlights the substantial energy inputs required to replicate and optimize natural growing conditions indoors.

    The environmental footprint of these operations directly correlates with the carbon intensity of the electricity grid supplying them. When relying on fossil fuel-heavy grids, vertical farms can exhibit a carbon footprint exceeding traditional field production by a factor of ten or more."

    Jump

  • so I watched to where they said they only grow leafy greens in vertical farms, anything else is too hard 🤦

    Industrial farming is something like 10 calories input for each calorie of food produced: this is likely an order of magnitude worse. I'm sure someone has done the maths.

  • we are such a garbage species.

  • How We Lost Communication to Entertainment

    Jump

  • I also think this is fair comment, but it also kindof misses a bigger point: and that is that the experience of media in our lives before social media kindof conditioned us all to separate ourselves into the categories of performer and audience, with the publisher in the middle with the power: and media has always laid the power in the hands of content publishers vs content consumers.

    I loved early social networks pre-Facebook (newsgroups, messageboards, LiveJournal) as power was not yet consolidated in the larger publishers. The clever publishers always saw this potential to consolidate power and control media consumers more than ever before. Which has happened, as we've been trained for so long to be passive consumers.

    The most important element of Burning Man culture for me was the focus on participation: no spectators. The media world wants the opposite and always has.

  • omg this is brilliant. I have had mini screwdriver sets taken from me at airports, so effing annoying. this is perfect and they appear to be from $2.50 if you want to wait to get it from China, or around $10 in AU on ebay, so possible to still get. what exactly is the usb (device?)

  • Spiralling costs spark 'urgent' overhaul of $2.3b battery subsidy scheme

    Jump

  • Oh FFS. This is actually I think what the government HOPED would happen: rapid uptake of individuals investing MASSIVELY to shift demand. Those massive batteries are not going to sit empty, and the concerns of parts not rated for high speed charging and discharging, ummm... EVs have been doing this for ages... high speed DC charging is over 100 years old - early EV DC charging existed before AC won (and will eventually lose again, amusingly enough).

    The more resilient the power networks, the better for everyone, and the faster many distributed batteries are deployed, the better. Though I think the future of power grid is ultimately doomed, this buys us some time.

    I guess they've calculated that people will react with similar incredulity and thus brands awareness, but still, wtf.
