Built a out of a wheel spoke and some galvanized steel strips. Seems to work OK but I still have weak reception of a repeater that is basically line of sight. Another repeater is full quieting on receive so I suspect a coax or receiver issue.

That certain accounts and businesses don't utilize Twitter anymore doesn't mean it's dead.

I'd love to see the consequences of Musk's actions finally catching up but it is not happening now as many people remain on the platform and are very reluctant to leave.

Een op de is suggereren dat fietsen onveilig is. Wat veel beter is is investeren in zoveel mogelijk infrastructuur gericht op de fiets zelf.
Bij de zuiderburen is hier te weinig van. Fluohesjes en helmen zijn dan een weinig effectieve "oplossing".

Let’s be clear about one thing: No one is “stuck” on Twitter. If you’re still there that’s your choice. Alternatives exist and some are far better than Twitter even though you may not choose to put the effort in to make it so.

Another day, another case of preaching to the choir.

If people want to be there let them, their loss. "No such thing as ethical consumption" etc. etc.
If you want to preach, do it over there please.

@glitzersachen @gedeonm

If a topic starts with "You should do this or you're a bad person" one shouldn't complain about people disliking that.

I am not policing topics btw, merely commenting on the annoyance and ineffectiveness of preaching.

People reading these messages are already here, the implied recipients are not.

I wonder, would an antifungal like copper sulphate work against mold?
Mix a little of it in paint and apply to wall or is this an unwise idea?

Yeah bleach is probably better, also really cheap and "biodegradable", it will eventually disappear.

Btw, I did encounter CuSO4 in organic chicken feed as an antifungal agent.
Probably as little as possible to have an effect.

Grid-scale storage is (currently) not a solution because it cannot be scaled up sufficiently.

Hydrogen is an impractical way of storing energy. It requires cryogenic tanks and infrastructure for storage and transport. It has horrible efficiency.
Batteries require even more mining than the current rate.
Hydro is already used at most of its total capacity.

So we really need nuclear or we will sit in the dark!

Decarbonization is the goal, not merely implementation of ideologically "pure" methods of generating electricity/energy.

If I see solar panels or windmills I don't feel any strong emotions, it is all valid...

Far cheaper and effective to just apply spray paint.

Well, Mastodon is even more fucked than I thought when I built my own client.

Turns out an instance may eventually evict posts from accounts from other instances.

Say you are on instance A, and a friend is on instance B. You two have a convo. After some time, all of B's replies are gone from your instance. If you view your thread, you are missing all their replies. If you are lucky, instance B still has all replies. Or not. Poof.

What a terrible, terrible platform.

Problem also is that a lot of people will not see this as a problem.
Most people are fine with "ephemeral" messages that eventually disappear.
Some people even deliberately set up eventual deletion of their posts, which also will also break threads.

There should be a way to preserve threads that are valuable.

I have often wondered why, when stores close, landlords leave the spaces empty for years at a time instead of lowering rents. The answer, apparently, is banks often won't let them:

I remember 1½ year ago when I went to Malmö Aftonbladet had this big headline about Putin's health. Nothing happened though and Putin is still alive it seems.

Btw, I guess "something" happened but a leader (dictator) such as him of course has access to superior medical care.

The fact that Biden’s brother wrote Joe Biden a $200K check as a loan repayment does reveal one very telling thing. The Biden family pays back its debts. The Trumps file Chapter 11.

Grid-scale storage is vaporware. It hardly exists and is very resource intensive to build and maintain.

It's also used as a moved goalpost, if grid-scale storage is implemented "then" all will be good 🤔

I do support research of novel ways to store energy, it would be a massive improvement if we could store energy in a practical way and at scale.

It's rather sad. A country where people are on average not that much against but still has a very problematic anti presence.

Germany's economy is going down the shitter while CO2 emissions remain one of the highest. And STILL people continue to rail against nuclear power. It is mind-boggling 🤬

So why did Germany fail so horribly?

After Fukushima there seems to be a big push (at least in words) for renewables but the results are disappointing to say the least.
