Climate@slrpnk.net•Wall Street firms are ditching climate coalitions. Do they matter? BlackRock, the world’s biggest asset manager, is the latest financial firm to back out of a voluntary climate initiative it joined5·2 年前When the tide rises, they should be drowned.
I’m allowed to say that here, right?
I recently got a used custom Tiger Lake NUC and QuickSync does some heavy lifting for Jellyfin. Much better transcode performance than the dedicated AMD GPU I was using on an older system.

2·3 年前Not everything is irrigated. They showed areas that are only fed by rainwater.
I think the point is that the soil was swept away and the ground is impermeable so any rainwater flows into the river or evaporates rather than supporting plant life or replenishing the groundwater.

Solarpunk technology@slrpnk.net•Polyformer - A 3D printer filament extruder created for people in the 3rd world.
2·3 年前I’ve seen some videos where paper shredders have been modified for this purpose. I don’t know how consistent the filament diameter was, though.
I would think the best way would be to first melt the plastic into a wider intermediary filament and then pull that through the desired final extruder to get a more consistent result.
I’ve been working on an openly documented recycling solution that would make use of litter from my area (mostly less commonly recycled plastics like polystyrene and LDPE), but I’m still in the identification/sorting phase. Finding an infrared spectrometer or sensor for the 1000-2300nm wavelengths to properly identify plastics has been difficult, but I think I’m close.

I like the idea of them seizing the assets of the oligarchs, but I’m sure they’d come up with a way to make the 99% pay for it like they did after 08 and like they already are with the private credit collapse.
