Just spent 2 hours doing algebra with my 12-years old son and now I'm wondering when to tell him about coffee. His brain is understandably switching off and it's certainly unfair 🤔
Further delicate trolling in SS-GB series on Netflix 😆(but historically fully justified, if Third Reich indeed conquered UK in 1940, their alliance with USSR would most likely hold)

As everyone is praising Germany with good weather and temporarily increased use of renewables, the same people rarely notice that France *also* has renewable and combined with nuclear their energy sectors is extremely low-carbon (30 gCO2eq/kWh) - Germany never goes below 150.
EROI (energy returned on invested) answers the question "how much useful energy do we obtain for a certain effort to make this energy available" #nuclear

Кто то словил российские военные (?) радиостанции на 4625.00kHz которые разглашают вот такое:

I feel like I am quoting Maciej Cegłowski's "The Website Obesity Crisis" every other week at this point, but it's such a super-condensed source of white-hot truth and insight that I don't feel bad:
"Let’s commit to the idea that as computers get faster, and as networks get faster, the web should also get faster."
This is the most obvious and natural idea in the world, but somehow it's a genuinely radical position. I think the battle is lost on the web, but if you start again and only put in what you need you just arrive by default at a situation of what feels like breakneck speed.

@aktivismoEstasMiaLuo that was the theory in the late 1990s of how open source was going to be funded, with Red Hat as the poster child for this model. As the data from the last 20 years indicates, it works for some things, but not for second and third tier common infrastructure like OpenSSL. This is the stuff funding projects like Snowdrift.coop and Tidelift are trying to find ways to fund properly.

FYI Frank from Own/NextCloud has given some excellent talks about funding free code development, what's effective or counterproductive and why. Some of that is discussed in this interview and there are links there to the talks:

As memorial plates on former NKVD building were removed in Tver, a group of Russian scientists publish an open letter calling this yet another attempt to whitewash Stalinist crimes. Let's keep this in mind next time we talk about "Russia did X".

A law in Germany requires all drives on highways to line up to the far side of their lanes during heavy traffic so that emergency vehicles can pass them more easily to reach the scenes of accidents.
