Monkeypox virus: dangerous strain gains ability to spread through sex, new data suggest
A cluster of mpox cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo sparks worries of a wider outbreak.Kozlov, Max
"What is also clear is that once we pass this tipping point, there is no going back. The only way to make the ice sheet regrow would be to cool the planet down to the temperature it was during the last ice age, says Sutter. โNo one wants that.โ

I have recently released an open source tool called sotrace. It maps out the .so dependencies for a binary or library, and presents them in a nice graph.

We need help to pay for our backups. This is a yearly funding campaign that we do, so if you can help us please see here https://www.tromsite.com/trom-backup/ - we only need 300 Euros for a full year of 4TB encrypted backups.
This means everything from our videos and documentaries, books, websites, including trom.tf (meaning all of the files that users have uploaded to our services - from Peertube videos to Nextcloud files). Everything!
300 Euros to make sure that we have everything backed-up in a secure place.
Please help if you can and thanks a lot for doing that!

For better interoperability of the archival guarantees I would suggest using:
#IPFS and
#solid #pods
https://solidproject.org/about
with the integration of
#noosphere knowledge graphs
https://github.com/subconsciousnetwork/noosphere/blob/main/design/explainer.md
All together these can provide strong security/transparency and "easily" moving data from server to server (Considering that scientists change institutions).
My graphic showing cumulative change in the mass of reference glaciers around the world has now been updated with 2023's data. We are losing ice.

Thank you. Can't call myself good at graph interpretation, but there appears to be a significant change in the plotted slope.
The loss of glacier ice loss appears to be accelerating!
One more of those very not comforting curves demonstrating accelerated warming.
How anyone can still doubt whether it's an emergency is probably related to where their money comes from.

Maybe this needs to be the default, with a button to undo it.
- Why people do not take time to stop and reflect on their environment?
- I think, it's because our society values productivity above all else. We're constantly bombarded with messages telling us to work harder, do more, achieve more. As a result, we often prioritize accomplishing tasks over taking breaks or enjoying leisure activities.

โYour periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.
The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.โ Via Dr Steve Campbell from the other place

There are 4 services that we use for TROM.tf via @YunoHost that are either broken or not updated in some time. I will try to look more into, but these are :
Friendica https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh/pulls
Nextcloud https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh see https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcloud_ynh/pulls
Discourse that's broken https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/discourse_ynh
And unfortunately Peertube that seems to suffer from some bugs with the update https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertube_ynh
If anyone can help out that'd be awesome, because it would help us all. If not at least support Yunohost financially if you can afford that https://donate.yunohost.org/
Yunohost is a fantastic project that allows us to provide so many trade-free services for everyone.
I hope they/we can find a solution for these packages....

Clear the decks.
TLDR We can't burn the human power as we did in '23. We're requesting a "staff" donation goal in the hopes the community will back RFF going all in for '24. If not we'll scale back offerings and initiatives.
Either way we still need more help from the community for station direction and community building and outreach out in the feeds.
more comradery. more events. more love. more fun.

well done !
ive been following this series for some time. (a few years maybe?)
i love how you keep the details of the original in place.
ive learnt that this card contains also a meaning of 'the dangerous things that creeps from the depths and hide in the shadows'.
also i wonder if you'd ever consider doing one series on the runes from ralph blum, i'll totally buy a deck of those cards.
Uh, you could say it was quite a bit warmer than average in the #Arctic during December 2023... ๐

1000 richest people are approched. "The end of the world is here. Time to go to your doomsday bunker", they are told. The billionaires nodded. They knew this was coming. They were prepared.
So they gathered their loved ones and locked themselves in luxury bunkers. No contact to outside world.
10 years later they emerge. The world has healed. The air is breathable, people are happy. "What was the catastrophy?" they ask the first person they meet.
