@degrowthuk@mstdn.socialInterview with the author on the 20th anniversary of the publication of The Oil Depletion Protocol: a Plan to Avert Wars, Terrorism and Economic Collapse (2006), the book by Richard Heinberg.
(Interviewed by @…)
20 Years after «The Oil Depletion Protocol». An interview with Richard Heinberg - 15/15\15
@markhburton@mstdn.socialHeinberg:
"The current sharp spike in diesel fuel prices is likely to be a significant drag on the construction and installation of renewables—as well as to increase the cost of food and most other things. People tend to forget that, despite all the solar panels and wind turbines, the heavy work of the global economy is still mostly being done by diesel fuel."

@hanno@mastodon.socialI might write a longer blog post if I find time (which, tbh, isn't likely), but... given that I'm seeing a bunch of people who run mailinglists in 2026 having problems, and I think I understand the underlying technicalities quite well, a few notes on running a Mailinglist in 2026:
There is only one way to run a Mailinglist and be compatible with all the stuff you are usually expected to do if you send e-mails in 2026. That is to rewrite the From address to a domain you control.

But DST is about as sane as if, instead of lowering speed limits, we changed the *definition* of an hour such that going 50 MPH was now 20% slower.
No, just lower the limit.
