During the migration work to the new PC I found this guide by Jordan Williams on backing up and restoring OpenPGP keys using Gnu Privacy Guard (also known as GnuPG and GPG) useful 🎉

We are reframing ecosystems as infrastructure

"Living landscapes are a form of infrastructure in the sense that forests, for example, clean our water and our air."

"...It is not enough simply to restore natural systems to their former condition. “There is no ‘pure nature’ that’s outside of us, untouched up there in the foothills somewhere...We’ve ‘made’ the world what it is already, so now we need to take a very, very strong hand in the remaking. … A big part of climate adaptation may simply be unbuilding what we’ve already built.”

"A big part of climate adaptation may simply be unbuilding what we’ve already built. Rather than thinking of design as something merely additive or “beautifying,” we need to think about undoing our environmental mistakes, like damming rivers, bulkheading our shorelines, and concretizing streams. We need to start making room for rivers and floods."

"What we are trying to do is integrate many local projects into a larger-scale systemic approach, into a larger-scale resilience plan."

What should happen to native forests when logging ends? Ask Victoria’s First Peoples

"Conservationists are celebrating a win sought for decades. The damage done by logging on biodiversity has been significant, with once common species now endangered and mature forests now fragmented and dotted with young fire-prone regrowth."
"Colonisation affected Country differently across Australia. But many effects are similar across the continent. European-style land management coincides with species extinctions across the continent. "

Reading the black book: The number, timing, distribution and causes of listed extinctions in Australia

"We conclude that 100 Australian endemic species are validly recognised as extinct since 1788: a rate of loss of about 4.3 species per decade since European colonisation of the continent. This rate is not diminishing and we interpret this more-or-less constant but continuing rate of loss .."

"Here, we review the record of extinctions. We ask the following: (1) how many extinctions have occurred; (2) whether particular taxonomic groupings have been most affected; (3) when did they occur; (4) where did they occur; and (5) what factors caused or contributed to them?"

Plants are likely to absorb more CO₂ in a changing climate than we thought

"And last but not least, because plants help fight climate change, it’s essential to conserve existing plant biomass and restore lost vegetation."

"But while plants might even be more industrious helpers than previously assumed, they will never do the heavy lifting for us. It is still up to us humans to fight climate change by drastically cutting fossil fuel emissions. There is no shortcut".>>

Guatemala's farmers take on cowboys in push to restore Maya Biosphere Reserve.

"The cattle and cowboys should not be here."

"Stemming forest losses is key, environmentalists say - but restoring degraded ones is also important to meeting climate and nature protection goals."

Restoration or destruction?
Elsewhere they start to restore and protect nature, in Australia the environment stays poor and is deteriorating

"Nature is dying faster than ever before in recorded human history with devastating consequences for people and the planet, the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) found in its review of the scientific research in 2019. In Europe, where more than 80% of habitats are in poor shape, the nature restoration law was proposed in a bid to reverse this trend and stop the planet heating."

"Legislation will set targets to restore 20% of EU land and seas by 2030, and 90% of degraded habitats by 2050"

"Protecting nature is a cheap way of keeping people safe from violent weather and a key tool to cut planet-heating pollution. The European Commission estimates that every euro invested in restoring land would offer a return of between €8 (£7) and €38."

I fixed one of my old Jigsaws.

It's not a tool I used very often and for some reason I have four of them!

Reaching for this one for a rare outing, I noticed the original blade clamp had split around the screw thread and was no longer serviceable.

The original clamp seemed to be a Mazak or Zamak casting so I made a replacement from a gash piece of mild steel.

I like to give steel pieces an oil blue finish.

Fantastic news for OpenProject system administrators! ❤️

Currently, restoring a backup is neither quick nor easy. With the help of our documentation, you need to work with the command line on the server in order to restore a backup. In the case of the OpenProject Enterprise cloud, customers need to create a support ticket to get a backup restored.

This will change now, thanks to our passion projects.👏

The GOP Is Trying to Steal Democracy in Ohio. That Has National Implications.

is already one of the most states in the country. Its maps are so unfair that its own state Supreme Court voted multiple times to send the maps back to the drawing board, only to have its rulings repeatedly undermined, the clock run out, and the still used in the midterms.

Now, a new threat looms in the Buckeye State. Facing the prospect of a to statewide this November, the GOP-dominated Ohio legislature is moving in advance to block it.

They have proposed a measure to increase the vote requirement for a constitutional amendment from a simple majority to 60 percent, along with making it far harder to qualify a citizen initiative.

In short, the Ohio GOP wants to write in a supermajority requirement, just as the will of the majority, which favors reproductive choice and the protections of Roe v. Wade, is about to make itself heard.

Wait, can they even do that? Just blatantly , right as progressives are getting ready to score?

Unfortunately, there is no legal barrier preventing this. Instead, the people of Ohio need to make it clear that they will not put up with this .
