don't shut me down: around 115 mtpa of LNG liquefaction capacity has shut operations by the end of March, equating to just over 25% of global LNG trade and representing an unprecedented amount of outages. Qatar's Ras Laffan and the UAE's Das Island remained cut from the global LNG market for the full month of March amid the closure of Strait of Hormuz. this represents alone a loss of around 10 bcm of gas supply. in addition, repairing Qatar's two damaged trains would take 3-5 years, leading to…

You should not run your mail server because mail is hard
TL;DR: - Mail is not hard: people keep repeating that because they read it, not because they tried it - Big Mailer Corps are quite happy with that myth, it keeps their userbase growing - Big Mailer Corps control a large percentage of the e-mail address space which is good for none of us - It's ok that people have their e-mails hosted at Big Mailer Corps as long as there's enough people outside too EDIT (2019-12-15) # A practical guide to set up a mail exchanger was published on this blog.

How do you trust a new Linux Distribution?
Who do you trust (… and how do you trust the new Linux Distribution StageX?) Do you trust your best friend from childhood? Do you trust your chosen Distribution for your Homelab? For your Workplace? Psychology says there are roughly two types of trust. Direct and Transitive trust. Direct trust is you trusting your best friend. Transitive trust is your best friend assuring you another person is also trustworthy and you listening to their word because you trust them.

“Do I belong in tech anymore?” from Ky Decker (not on Masto) https://ky.fyi/posts/ai-burnout

Sigh... I don't know how long it has been set this way but posts on @… were ordered from "Newest to Oldest" (Newest at top, oldest at the bottom) instead of the natural flow of "Oldest to Newest" - This has been changed now.
Lesson learned.

I tried to write something up to talk about an idea, but it didn't quite work. I have a lot more I need to put into it. But I want to get an idea out, and, after talking with a person who pointed out some of the flaws in what I wrote, I think I can maybe write down the kernel of the idea here.
An acquaintance of mine did a deep dive on Operational Art and wrote his thesis (which prompted an earlier set of posts and an article I wrote for my professional-ish blog) on the intersection of the OODA loop and critical philosophy. I've been spending a lot of time thinking about Kilcullen's Three Pillars model (after watching Andrewism's wonderful video) and Beer's VSM. The TL;DR of it is that there's a much better insurgency model. Of course, the insurgency model also works for a bunch of other things, because cybernetics lets you do all kinds of cool abstraction like that.
So as I was reading the essay of a comrade the other day, that model popped back into my head and I'm going to try to share what I can of it.
When colonizers came to the Salish region, they saw what they believed to be an untouched wilderness. They failed to see the ways in which Salish people tended the land. Indigenous fire practices were common on the northwest coast, and the suppression of those practices remains a problem. There is an interrelationship between an environment and the systems within it. Systems, like people, animals, and cultures, adapt to the environment. In doing so, those systems will also change the environment.
Social technology was invisible, so colonizers defaulted to either some kind of Rousseauvian or Malthusian model of these people. They were not, for the colonizers, people who had developed advanced social technologies to live in harmony with their world. They were, rather, people in "a state of nature."
The European influenced left continues to draw this Rousseauvian model, which continues through a lot of Anarchist revolutionary thought. European anarchists were heavily influenced by observations and theories around the behavior of indigenous people. The remnants of this thought still exist in the idea that the system must only be destroyed for us to be free.
This is the same obliviousness to social technology, that social technology actually exists, often informs both early colonizers and modern radicals.
It is through this obliviousness that we fail to recognize how capitalism is a social technology that is managed into existence and maintained, and how changes in the environment can threaten institutions that have become over-adapted to a specific version of that environment.
We can extend Kilcullen's metaphor of a "conflict ecosystem" through cybernetics into a much more rich model, populated by viable systems. The ecosystem itself has a fitness function, which drives adaptation within the environment. But all actors in the environment also affect it. Some try to manage the environment. Revolutions are often over who manages a social ecosystem, over who controls the social technology and what it does.
Once we see this dynamic at play, calls of "riot" and "revolution" make a whole lot less sense. Rather, the question becomes, "how do we change the ecosystem in such a way that it cannot be 'managed' at all?"
Graeber/Wengrow talked about Turtle Island indigenous social technologies in Dawn of Everything, such as the system of moieties and clans described in the book. So I have a good reading list as I think through this model, but I hope the "ecosystem" model is helpful (if not completely fleshed out).
I'd be interested in any critiques or thoughts to help develop this idea more.

11,000 posts in ~3.25 years. That's 9.4 posts a day. Not as frequent as many, but more than most. Phanpy estimates 50% of my posts are "original". Plus 20% replies makes it 6.7 posts a day. Maybe I need cut down? 🤔
But with 30% of posts being boosts and 20% replies, half my posts are engaging others, which I think makes me "social". 😊
It seems programming, photography, and travel are my frequent (recent?) hashtags. Although I no longer post much tech stuff.
(I wonder if we can get hashtag stats/trends per Masto/Fedi user.)

The fact Instagram and all other social networks now have some AI slop feature that allows you to generate captions or whole posts with AI, but NO FEATURE TO GENERATE IMAGE DESCRIPTION / ALT TEXT should tell you all you need to know next time one of these ghouls pretends their new technology will really help disabled or marginalized people (this time for sure)
