2 years ago Lake Isabella California has a massive rain downfall
The North fork of the kern river rose 20+ ft
Riverside homes got flooded
The lake was dried up, filled up in a matter of a couple of weeks
Global warming is going to produce unexpected Dry & Wet events
Several months in Summer are now fire storms
Too hot to work outside
Fires light up, wind blows, power goes out
Every year it get worse
Sometimes the smoke is so thick its deadly thick as fog
Plants die, people suffer


there is some very cool research going on in a cave in the grand canyon. there are hundreds, maybe thousands of dead bats, all with their soft tissue preserved. some are between 3700 and 31000 years old! there are other samples from the cave that are too old for carbon dating! #bats #science #grandcanyon

@disroot What software do you use for your main website? It appears to be a static site generator, but doesn't say which one. BTW, here's a screenshot of a huge blank space at the top of most pages.

Oh, I see GRAV mentioned here git.disroot.org/Disroot/Websit…. I think you should make that more apparent.

in reply to Michael Harrop

Thanks we'll do. We are working on a little update to the looks of the site se we'll put info about website software in the footer.

As for the blank part of the page, there should be an image there.

@echanda @SrRochardBunson a big issue is that these countries are unstable because America makes it so. Either directly via coups and "free trade" or indirectly via the Monroe Doctrine and associated "we're the boss of the Americas" policy



Mental preparation for #Linux #Kernel Maintainers Summit and #LinuxPlumbers2024:

✅ Relax brain by performing an #ObstacleCourseRun (OCR) right before the conference week[1], just like it did the last time before I visited those conferences.

[1] this was at #MudMasters Northern Germany 2024 yesterday; the timing was just a coincidence, it's OCR season currently here: this was my third ORC within the past six weeks; and I miss a fourth, which is the nicest one, due to the conferences. 🫤

This is the 3rd or 4th #Nextcloud update in a row that has been rolled out to the "stable" channel and introduced new bugs that didn't exist before. Shit's getting kind of old; I'm gonna start looking for alternatives. I don't mind fixing things, but I don't want to have to keep fixing them over and over when I'm supposed to be in the "stable" update channel.
