Wow! That's one thing I miss when reading on e-books. It's extremely convenient, but I miss those treats and the whole experience of holding a beautiful volume!

Probably, because only two of them decimated a whole plant here. They're hungry little buddies, so much so that I actually captured them and keep feeding them with veggies leftovers lol

I'm all about free use and distribution of all kind of content, but also a big believer of patronage and supporting what actually made a difference in your life (because you learnt from it or just because it brought you enough joy, so to speak). I will definitely chip in!

I like how posts and replies tend to be longer here than in other platforms. It feels more like talking to actual people, and makes Lemmy less noise polluted I would say, so your reply was a very welcomed read!

When I was a kid I was really into computers, so I met Linux back then. Nowadays, I just use it when I'm fed up with Windows or if I need to get work done since it's distraction free and workspaces and hot corners make my life so much easier when working with multiple documents :)

Saved the website for later on!

Thanks for the explanation! Once you give everything a meaning it's just another language I guess lol

I'm not on a Mac, but I do have a PC running Ubuntu so maybe that works too (?)

I'll be looking for those resources you listed this week since we have some days off and see what I can come up with. With that and all the other suggestions I think I'm ready to do some stuff, build some break some and see how it goes haha

Thanks again!

It would be nice to just have a blog up and running! This morning I stumbled upon this website https://alexw.nyc/, and I would be so happy to be able to make a website like that one, to be honest.

Being able to host a matrix server o a pixelfed instance for me, family and friends is something that would be awesome, but probably too much for someone like me, at least for now. So I'd rather go with the website.

PS: Whenever I see something like this I panic lol

(egwhile true ; do nc -l -p 80 -c ‘echo -e “HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n\n $(date)”’; done)

Automate the boring stuff with Python sounds like something I would enjoy reading, even if it's a bit outdated. Mozilla's website seems a good approach for me too, since it starts from complete beginners.

I don't think I have the time to learn much about computer science theory if it's not something mandatory. Linux, on the other hand, is something I'm somewhat familiar too (I've used it a lot for uni and such as a “distraction free” OS haha) and it looks like any server that I could run on a Raspberry or similar is going to be running Linux.

Thanks for the information!

Since I don't quite understand how all this works (in fact, my field are humanities and sociology lol) I can only talk about what I've seen surfing. A website that I could host and requires little to run sounds super fun to me and also a nice way to dip my toes in this world, although I might be wrong about that.

I recently discovered the Fediverse and matrix, and thought it would be neat to try to host my own stuff. But again, I don't know how literate you need to be to do any of that, and I'm probably a few months away from even understanding the basics.

Thanks for the reply! I'll check if I can find the book in the public libraries nearby!

That's so unfortunate. I hope she's ok

That is great. I guess since the virus has different effects on people the ways out of it (or at least long COVID) are also multiple. Take care!

"At the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1·5°C fair-shares in the process. To meet their 1·5°C fair-shares alongside continued economic growth, decoupling rates would on average need to increase by a factor of ten by 2025."

So the findings are what we all thought they would be: not even close.

Thanks for sharing.

That's a very evolutionist stand, which is proved to do more harm than good to society. There are economic options out of capitalism and communism, for that matter.

If you think that capitalism is going forward or a valid place to start something from, it surprises me that you're even in this community, since even Marx himself abandoned the idea that capitalism was the necessary (although wrong) path to get to socialism.
