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 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!

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!

- 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.

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 github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frienβ¦ see github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frienβ¦
Nextcloud github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcβ¦ see github.com/YunoHost-Apps/nextcβ¦
Discourse that's broken github.com/YunoHost-Apps/discoβ¦
And unfortunately Peertube that seems to suffer from some bugs with the update github.com/YunoHost-Apps/peertβ¦
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 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.

Why we should all be concerned about the shortage of science teachers
From Australia to the UK, the global shortage of science teachers will have a damaging effect on diversity and equity in science, says physics teacher Alom ShahaAlom Shaha (New Scientist)

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... π

With the amazing images coming back from Juno's flyby of Io, I finally took a stab at processing some JunoCam images. This image shows Io's north polar region from 2839km distance.

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.

Going by the website, it looks like ORCID itself isn't (yet?) officially involved with this project. I'm guessing you're using their API.
I've recently been thinking about a potential project to make ORCID records ActivityPub-followable, to keep up to date about colleagues who don't personally use the fediverse yet. Does that sound interesting? Are there ethical concerns? There used to be at least one ORCID-to-RSS service but it's been dead for a while.

in reply to Julian Fietkau • • •@julian Great idea!
Our prototype enables users to create a federated ORCID account by linking it to Bonfire, so others can follow and receive their latest publications. To make any/all ORCID records AP-followable, a direct collaboration with ORCID would be ideal. This could ensure a unique canonical federated account per researcher and a way for people to "claim" it when joining the fediverse, including the migration of previous followers.

I did see that, when I looked, just now.
Excellent! Would be great to hear that something may be moving in thi direction!
P.S.: This would sort of remind me of FriendFeed, where we could subscribe to the RSS feeds of friends who, in turn, assembled their feeds from their various contributions. Would be wonderful to recover some of that previous functionality we have been missing for so long.

For better interoperability of the archival guarantees I would suggest using:
#IPFS and
#solid #pods
solidproject.org/about
with the integration of
#noosphere knowledge graphs
github.com/subconsciousnetworkβ¦
All together these can provide strong security/transparency and "easily" moving data from server to server (Considering that scientists change institutions).
