They don’t mention the cause of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum—was the biosphere still experiencing evolutionary adjustments from the Chicxulub impact 9 million years earlier? Or was there a geological cause?

Unfortunately “climate leader” is a pretty low bar these days.

I respect the ACLU in particular for that—for adhering to their organizing principle even when it means defending groups they’re otherwise ideologically opposed to.

Syncthing uses a centralized discovery server to connect device IDs to IP addresses (although you can change this to point to your own discovery server, too).

I don’t know if Funkwhale has a similar option.

I don’t have a thermostat, but I have indoor and outdoor temp and humidity sensors, and a window position sensor. HA notifies me (via lighting color) if I should open the window because the outdoor conditions are better than indoors, or vice versa.

I checked the paper cited in that article, and it has an author correction published last week:

The Strang splitting maximum likelihood estimator had a minor error (thanks to Anders Gantzhorn Kristensen for identifying it). In the last step of the Strang splitting in the pseudo maximum likelihood estimation, the flow should have been evaluated in the observation at time t_i, but was wrongly partially evaluated at time t_i–1. When corrected, the tipping time estimate changes by 8 years.

(emphasis mine)

It makes me wonder about the environmental cost of printing and lighting those posters.

Sure—but notice that the US, UK, and many other places converged on the same behavior—which in most cases arose as a consensus among local schools that hit on similar practices without any central coordination. Which suggests that the behavior is more than a historical accident.

That’s a bit of a myth:

The history of summer holidays is clouded with myths. One popular idea is that school children have a long summer holiday (six weeks for most pupils in the UK) so that they could help work in the fields over the summer. But the current school system was developed over the course of the 19th century, when English farms were increasingly mechanised and having children helping with the harvest would only have been necessary for a small percentage of the population. Besides which, a brief glance at the farming calendar tells you that a holiday that ends at the start of September is not going to be much use for bringing in the harvest in the early autumn. So whatever the origin of six weeks off at the height of summer is, it’s not for the sake of farmers.

We should also distinguish between two types of historical explanation: people do all kinds of things for all kinds of reasons, but they tend to keep doing the things that create good results. However, they may not know what’s causing those results, and it may have nothing to do with why they initially decided to engage in that behavior. So you can have people all over converge on a certain behavior without a consistent explanation for why they’re doing it—and popular explanations (even if historically informed) may have nothing to do with why the behavior actually persists.

Is that not why schools in many places take a break over the summer?

I assume it’s because it reduces the possibility of other processes outside of the linked containers accessing the files (so security and stability).

Here’s a list of WP’s templates for adding social media links to articles—looks like they have one for Mastodon.

CasaOS is not an operating system and more like a GUI for Docker

So it’s more like Portainer?

One metric you might want to add is the network effect: how much of a difference does it make to the user experience to join a large instance (or the same instance most of your friends are on) compared to a small or self-hosted one? (Or in other words—does the nature of the platform software potentially incentivize consolidation?)

If there are a bunch of posts on a particular topic, shouldn’t it keep at least one of them? Otherwise it would tend to completely filter out the most significant or interesting topics.

Internal server (Home Assistant etc.): domus
External server (Nextcloud etc.): nimbus
Router/firewall: murus

I believe so—see Wake-on-LAN.

One under-appreciated aspect of Docker is that it forces you to document all your setup steps in your dockerfile and docker-config files.

The generational divide is just one instance of a broader phenomenon—similar divisions exist in adults between our constructed personas for family, work, friends, interest groups, etc.
