A #SolarPunk#Camp is taking place this week.

Unfortunately due to healthy issues I cannot attend.
But I wish good luk!
A trick question for the #retrocomputing experts here:
What computers backside we are looking at?
It has a 13w3 monitor plug, but also USB, Firewire and SCSI. 🤔
Don't google the sticker, that's cheating.
❝Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.❞ — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate)
OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE
• Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge.
• Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and moved to the United States to work at Harvard.
• Cecilia Payne was the first person ever to earn a Ph.D. in astronomy from Radcliffe College, with what Otto Strauve called “the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy.”
• Not only did Cecilia Payne discover what the universe is made of, she also discovered what the sun is made of (Henry Norris Russell, a fellow astronomer, is usually given credit for discovering that the sun’s composition is different from the Earth’s, but he came to his conclusions four years later than Payne — after telling her not to publish).
• Cecilia Payne is the reason we know basically anything about variable stars (stars whose brightness as seen from earth fluctuates). Literally every other study on variable stars is based on her work.
• Cecilia Payne was the first woman to be promoted to full professor from within Harvard, and is often credited with breaking the glass ceiling for women in the Harvard science department and in astronomy, as well as inspiring entire generations of women to take up science.
• Cecilia Payne is awesome and everyone should know her.

I won a contest @libreoffice held, and I got all this KILLER LibreOffice swag from them.
I've used LibreOffice for so many years, from back in the mid 2000s when it was OpenOffice. It's better than Microsoft Office. It's totally free and open source, and you don't have to be logged in like you do now with Office.
Try it out if you haven't, you won't regret it.

Scoop: New details are emerging about a breach at National Public Data (NPD), a consumer data broker that recently spilled hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security Numbers, addresses, and phone numbers online. KrebsOnSecurity has learned that another NPD data broker which shares access to the same consumer records inadvertently published the passwords to its back-end database in a file that was freely available for download from its homepage until today.

I've been enjoying Mastadon but have missed the academic side of things--I used to find so many resources for students and faculty on Twitter. I realized that I need to start doing them myself and maybe we'll build a community. So, here I go:

Remember when the politicians kept telling us that Climate Change was too expensive to fight?
They said that Oil Executives buying mega yachts was more important than the rest of us having food, or viable living conditions.

BBC degrowth documentary features Sostre Civic housing co-op - Co-operative News
Proponents of degrowth favour the democratisation of the economy and collectively managing key resources - including through housing co-ops.Anca Voinea (Co-operative News)
I have a very vivid memory of being confused about 3-5% annual growth. It was 5th grade and an introduction to economics class.
I put up my hand to ask what happens to car companies when people have enough cars and how many cars to people need? The teacher was completely confused about how to answer.
It was only a few weeks prior the same teacher had taught us about the ecological balance of nature... the wolves eat the deer, the deer eat the plants, and everything stays in balance.... then brings in this class about infinite growth and my little brain was trying to figure out the balance part.
It didn't seem weird to her that the laws of nature don't exist when it comes to exploiting nature.

I entirely agree if you want to actually ship. Learning takes a back seat. For me, the boring, reliable, predictable tech is #Scala + FP (mostly Typelevel, Lightbend, SoftwareMill stuff) and PostgreSQL 🤷♂️

New LeaseyBite. A Sophisticated Windows Clipboard.
As you know, Leasey contains a feature called LeaseyClips, allowing you to copy multiple text segments and paste them into a text edit area in any order of your choosing. However, Leasey version 9 also contains the ability to automatically append text to the windows clipboard for those people who would like to use it in this way.
This means that you can copy or cut text segments from multiple sources and paste them into a document or text edit area.
