       @tante, but the phenomenon does exist - it just doesn't have anything to do with the individuals overgrazing the common pasture, but rather with capitalist entities such as corporations and national states being able to get away without paying the full costs of what they grab; arguably, the most catastrophic one is what is causing the global heating now.

       @niclas @straphanger with due respect, cities are way more efficient resource-wise than spread-out farmside housing. All those things like water supply, electricity, sanitation, any kind of transport (of which commute is just one aspect of) just don't scale well with lower population densities for the populations we have.Of course this applies to well designed and well managed cities, so, um, not like most of USA.

       @mathaetaes @feld @RandomDamage also, multi-hosting (multiple web services hosted on the same IP/port) didn't work with SSL at all, each SSL-enabled service required their own dedicated public IP.(multiple certs on the same IP require SNI which was only fully included in OpenSSL 0.9.8j in 2009)

       @feld @RandomDamage @mathaetaes "IPs weren't that hard to come by" is a strange way to say "I haven't worked for a non-US hosting provider".

       @feld @RandomDamage @mathaetaes early 2000s in my case. Worked at a hosting provider with around 7k individual websites hosted (around half being e-commerces), and I remember spending a week polishing a "petition" to RIPE to grant us some IPs and the screams of joy when we received a /24 share (from /21 or /22 requested, don't recall now) up from the /27 range we were squeezing in previously.

       @stavvers FWIW my track record with LED bulbs is pretty sad. The LEDs themselves may last a century or whatnot, but the AC/DC converters in those bulbs are such a sore shite.

       @foone Great idea: Same as above, but with Kalevala verses.

       @futurebird Community note: "balding" tires are not an issue on a bicycle on tarmac/concrete. The reason car tires need treading is because otherwise aquaplaning occurs; aquaplanning is not possible with bicycle tire widths/speeds. Sleek (treadless) tires work just fine.Things are a bit different with sand, mud or snow, but that's not a common commute issue; and while important with mountain bikes, downhill speeds are the same for regulars and e-bikes anyway.

       @futurebird "Smooth is dangerous" is simply not true for bicycle tires. It very much depends on a surface. Knobby mountain bike tire will have worse traction and driving capabilities on hard asphalt than a sleek treadless tire - because the knobs bend and there's less contact area.Sleeks are absolutely fine for city commute (assuming well-maintained roads).

       @futurebird @llewelly There is this hypotheis that the mammalian and avian body temperature is a bit too high for fungi to be happy - and that's why the only species quite suspectible to severe fungal infections are bats, which hibernate while lowering their body temperature quite a bit.https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1002808

       @futurebird It's the Voynich manuscript of our era.
