  • I think it’s important to note how much hardscape and channelling has been done to prevent widespread and sheet style flooding, and how they contribute to this problem of ground water recharge.

    Most places that are flat enough to build are flat enough to build because of thousands of millenia of flooding, especially sheet flooding, laying down sediment and making them flat. Then humans get annoyed because the flat low places floos, so they build flood control.

    There is a post further down about how Muni water really isn’t an issue and I agree with this. I’ve put up a couple posts explaining this on Reddit and hacker news. I could rehash it if some one was interested.


  • I think this kind of handwringing shows a fundamental lack of understanding of how the internet works.

    Everything you’ve ever pushed your eyeballs against on the internet was hosted somewhere. These days its pretty much all in the cloud.

    All this team did was write a wrapper to automate the instance creation, which I just happily paid for, because even though I could have figured it out, it wasnt work several hours of my time to do so. And if I did, I still was going to use the same cloud providers this team is routing through.

    I just paid to host an instance to do my part to support the fediverse. If you are from the elest team jbenguira hit me up or maybe I’ll hit your lemmy to get some help. Having some issues getting my domain to work and want to make sure I’m doing it right.
