Putting our first solar panels! videos.trom.tf/w/eFaTmRTaSVtbK…

We put 260W of solar panels on the roof and connected them to our Bluetti AC180. And we had to do part of it in the dark.

We post only on @PeerTube despite getting a lot less views there, for now, than we would on Youtube. But we need to create new/original content on Peertube if we are to make it more popular.

On top of that I love Peertube. No ads, no bullshit. Just a sane video platform.

A surreal moment in Canadian politics


A parliamentarian's behind the scenes account of Canada's recent Fall Economic Statement fiasco (and resignation of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland), by Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party

Oh my. It was crazier than you think. An exacto knife is involved

So a thing happened and I'm kinda flabbergasted. So there appears to be a campaign to shut down the Mostr (Nostr <> ActivityPub bridge). Dunno how big it is, but apparently at least one DMCA complaint has been filed. This is all on account of the bridge duplicating posts and profiles on ActivityPub.

For those unaware, THIS IS LITERALLY HOW ACTIVITY PUB IS BUILT TO WORK. Every Activity Pub server duplicates content. Without it there'd be no seeing posts from anybody on servers other than their home server. It's literally the thing that makes the protocol work. If being on a protocol that specifically is designed to duplicate content isn't permission enough to duplicate content then the Fediverse goes poof. Zilch. Zero. Nada.

Convince Cloudflare, or worse - convince a judge - that a protocol designed around federating content isn't permission to federate content and that's that for #ActivityPub. I'd personally prefer to see both protocols do well; please, if anybody reads this, learn how things work before trying to break things for working as intended.

To meet people who think Putin and what he does in Ukraine is ok, or to say that Trump is a good choice for the USA, is quite a shocking experience. Almost like seeing Bigfoot. It is one thing to hear about it, another thing to see it.

It is astonishing to me how some people can be so idiotic and brainwashed. Unbelievable.

In my mind the west did actions they easily couldve conceived would prompt Russia to military action

This criticism I understand. But Russia's actions made any of such discussion, in my view, pointless at this time. And these discussions have the potential to give some sort of validity to Russia's actions.

Consider this: if Russia wanted to stop the war today, they could. USA, the "west", or Ukraine cannot unless they agree to give up parts of Ukraine to Russia, and agree to more such things. But Russia all they have to do is go back home. That says it all.

I can tell we wont agree so ill answer your point and give you a final response and we'll call this conversation done.

If Russia went home; they would have an emboldened NATO ally at their doorstep. This is not an acceptable solution.

That said the minimum terms Russia is likely to accept is keeping all their conquested land so far which as you say is an unacceptable solution.

Ideally Ukraine or whats left needs to be a neutral nation — like it once was

By the way should be fine to have discussions around these topics. We do not have to fight or "debate". But communication is crucial, else we close ourselves into our own bubbles and then fight with each other when our views become so separate.

Find by me if you do not want to engage anymore, but I am also curious to learn if I am wrong.

in reply to Tio

I think we share a philosohy there , which is why I gave you a final chance to rebut.

Exposing yourself to views you don't agree with is useful; but human connection is often key to having your opinions challenged -- and social media sucks for genuine connection.

I like to debate, but also often find with strangers I get frusrated quickly and thats not healthy for me; so if I get frustrated I try to civilly end the conversation.

in reply to Joshua M

Disagreeing well is important; but requires giving face. Extraordinarily hard to do when you're annoyed or impatient.

Some may find that edifying online; I do not.

in reply to Joshua M

I for one am not impatient or annoyed. I like to discuss calmly and to be open to whatever the other part is saying. Else I would not engage in any such discussions. Just so you know.
