Donald Trump being a loser isn’t exactly new but he’s really set himself up for loss, regardless what happens with Greenland. Either he loses any conflict because he can’t stand to see the dead soldiers coming home or he loses because the USA will be absolutely shunned by their former partners.
He loses either way.

Great to see @… running with #ProtocolsForPublishers
Chad is a huge open protocols advocate, and fortunately he's not completely engineering brained and has been spending time at the Internet Governance Forum and other important venues that are m…

I'm a chemist. As a grad student I was a TA and a tutor. I taught college chemistry classes.
That's teaching a subject, not communicating about a technical issue (yes, these really are different skills)
And climate change advocacy has highlighted how difficult communicating is.
I wish this proposal had been enacted when I was a student.

Hmm. Ordered some extras alongside my C64 Ultimate. Since the homepage says they use semi-local warehouses, I felt pretty good about it. For some reason they send the three extras one by one, and I received the first one from Europe. Being a bit surprised by the delivery time for the next one, I decided to track it, and it’s coming from the US :-S. I sure hope this doesn’t mean additional import fees.

Mali: où en sont les négociations avec les jihadistes pour la levée du blocus?
Début septembre, le Jnim, lié à al-Qaïda, a décrété un embargo sur les importations de carburant au Mali. Depuis, des camions-citernes sont incendiés quasi quotidiennement. Les jihadistes imposent également un blocus à Kayes et Nioro du Sahel, à la frontière sénégalaise. L'armée escorte des convois pour tenter d'assurer la circulation des marchandises, l'un d'eux a pu arriver à Bamako mardi 7 octobre. En parallèle, des contacts ont été établis avec le Jnim pour obtenir une l…

"The results speak for themselves. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources, with only a small fraction—roughly 1%–3%—coming from flexible thermal plants, such as those powered by natural gas. They are used only when hydroelectric power cannot fully cover periods when wind and solar energy are low. The energy mix is diverse: while hydropower accounts for 45%, wind can contribute up to 35% of total electricity, and biomass—once considered a waste probl…

Giving waste plastics a second life as high-performance carbon nanomaterials
A study published in Nature Communications has shown that, rather than being discarded, plastics can be transformed into valuable carbon nanomaterials that help solve both energy and environmental challenges.

The Greenland sea cables are probably being closely monitored, but redundancy seems minimal likely limited to OneWeb satellite connectivity and some VSAT links.
Looking at the routing side, AS8818 announces just two /19s and one /22 (and two /32s in IPv6) with a single upstream provider, Level 3 Inc. This suggests that Layer 3 redundancy is even more constrained.
I would have expected at least one EU-based provider as an additional upstream...
