@Moon @kingu but algae dies overnight. Trees can survive a few hours without sunlight. I imagine those tanks need to be heated in the winter too.

@MisuseCase @kingu @Moon yeah I don't hate them, but I have some questions that aren't answered in the sales pitch. What does it do with the methane it's going to produce for example? It's true that they will create fertilizer, but in so doing they will be also creating methane and other gases. If they actually use the fertilizer they make that'll be cool. I use algae water on my plants. It's better than Brawndo.I also wonder what the real environmental impact of creating one is. It needs solar panels, batteries, electronics/computers, and a pump. Glass also has an environmental impact I think is often ignored (sand mining is terrible business). Does it have any filtration devices made of charcoal (I assume yes)?At the end of the day, I just think cities in general are obviously harder on the environment than smaller gatherings of people. We create problems we then need to solve, but I don't know that the offered solutions are always the best ones (or even good ones).

tfw you realize you have to burn down real trees to provide the resources for "liquid trees"🫤

@thor depends. Sometimes it's the opposite actually, but yes sometimes stress can be overwhelming.

@MisuseCase @kingu @Moon just the concrete alone is a massive environmental disaster. Water pollution from high concentration of any animal causes extra stress on the surrounding environment. Sure we have treatment facilities to try and help mitigate that, but they are far from perfect. Also getting food into cities results in a lot of waste that could be significantly reduced if more people had access to space to grow their own food.Honestly I believe that the answer to some of our biggest problems as a species is centralization. I think things like power generation and food production could be far less wasteful if we didn't rely on centralized networks for distribution. I think the food and power distribution networks we rely on are incredibly fragile. I also think the main problem with pollution generally comes down to concentration within a particular area being greater than the area can safely accommodate. If we had many more smaller farms that focused primarily on serving the local population, the impact of farming would be far less, and the damage could be mitigated further with better farming practices that can't be used at the scale we tend to push people toward.I didn't read the link, but I will later. Just sitting down for a few minutes before getting more stuff done.

@MisuseCase @kingu @Moon > "centralization is good" he posted on a decentralized network.There are ways that centralization allows you to optimize for particular outputs, but it also centralizes power over what is actually being optimized for and takes autonomy away from participants. I think waste is overlooked or justified by the gains in output which can never be questioned (is output higher? Of course we're bigger).I never said everyone needs to grow their own food, but smaller farms can manage the waste produced better and with good practices could even see higher yields of more diverse crops. I also think it would be healthy for people to be better connected to the source of their life. People may not "want" to grow their own food, but I argue there are "needs" being unmet in modern society.It's cute how you diminish the value of growing your own food by saying "it sounds fun". Fun is what you make it first of all, and second I never said that we should only do fun things. Sometimes accomplishing things that are difficult and not very fun at the time can be rewarding in different ways. For the record I have been microfarming for almost a decade at this point. Sometimes it's really hard work. What I can't grow I buy from other local farms. Been doing it this way for years. It's not "fun" to wake up early as shit and start tending to the animals and plants, but it is rewarding. I know where my food comes from, and I know what goes into it. I also get to see the impact of my actions over the years and can learn what does and doesn't work. Planting your own food also allows you to appreciate the seasons.

@MisuseCase @kingu @Moon Humans still toil for food. Only now most of us toil meaninglessly for tokens to exchange for food. Pre-industrial health was not poor because of farming. It was poor because of sanitation issues. Today we have diabetes and obesity in some places and starving in others as leading causes of death. Suicide is fairly common, and I think in some areas also increasing at a pretty alarming rate. I don't know if that's an improvement. We have more time for activities, but many are bored and find leisure activities to be unfulfilling. I am a fan of learning, but I could give a fuck less about education. Most of the educated people I've met are pretty simple honestly. Not impressive.> Many people tried very hard to get out of that life. Why do you want people to go back?Many people are very unwell as a result of the new way of life. The food system is poisonous and incredibly wasteful. The centralized decision makers realize that we can't continue to sustain the levels of growth we aim for while maintaining a higher quality of life, so the answer seems to be to reduce the quality of life. I would rather have the freedom to eat what I want than be forced to eat bugs because "that's better for the planet". As I said before, I don't really think everyone needs to grow their own food, but I do think local first should kind of be the default on food items. I don't quite understand why you think that means a return to the 1700s. I buy my milk from a dairy farm near me. They have a website. They deliver. I literally do less to get my milk than you do, but it's produced near me by cows that eat grass

@MisuseCase @Moon @kingu I didn't even get into the toxins we've introduced into the environment as the result of central planning and decision making. All the packaging and chemical preservatives added to try and slow down decay which have themselves negative health consequences, and yet we still waste enough food to feed a continent.Another aspect is the damage we've done to the farm land. Many farms have lost an enormous amount of top soil. Those who can't produce anymore are sold off and covered in asphalt and structures. The impact of this pipeline isn't fully actualized yet, but the amount of usable farm land is shrinking as a result.

@MisuseCase @kingu @Moon it's not the technology but how it's used. I have no issues with automation, but I think the power to decide what should be automated and what to optimize for should be with the individual as much as possible. I think electronics are great. I think exploitative use of electronics to track and monitor humans like some kind of livestock is not that great.I love how everything always boils down to left/right political dichotomies for so many people, but I'm the one pining for simplicity.

It might seem at first glance that transactions need to be sent and stored in plain text format to make them publicly verifiable. In fact, it is possible to conceal a transaction’s participants, as well as the amounts involved, using cryptographic tools that nevertheless allow transactions to be verified and agreed upon by observers [136]. This is exemplified in the cryptocurrency Monero

I’ve been manually starting monerod and p2pool each time I reboot my machine. Today I decided it was time to just write systemd unit files to run when I login. I’m not a huge fan of systemd but I am not in the camp that is kicking and screaming as we’re all dragged in that direction. I do think having an init system that unprivileged users can interact with is pretty handy.I set p2pool up to depend on monerod, but ideally I could make it depend on monerod being up to date not just running. I did have to pass a --non-interactive flag to keep it from exiting when systemd is watching it. It would be even cooler if I could still interact with the console if need be.I’ll still have to start xmrig on my own but it requires root anyway for proper access to hardware. I also finally got around to writing the config to file so I don’t have to rely on bash history (the real motivation to go down the systemctl --user ... route

@Moon Hügelkultur is another method to reduce irrigation needs although it focuses on increasing retention than targeting less needy plants. You basically dig a hole and bury a bunch of organic material. Sticks and logs break down slowly and add aeration, reduce compaction, and offer a food source for plants and fungi. They also help contour the land which can be used to direct overflow to drier areas
