Limits to growth is wrong then? Is there enough oil and copper at the current rate?

if you don’t have enough copper to transition to renewable energy, and don’t have enough oil to continue, you’re in for some fun times…

Why the fuck are they posting this bullshit? The cost of an email include the cost of the device you use to send or read the email, which is 70% of the cost. Then it’s 15% (energy wise) to transport the email. The cost of storing the email is 0.5%.

With that in mind, think about how much it costs to watch 1h on YouTube or Netflix…

Some explanations in French (sry):

What’s the point if we can’t get past 2050?

Signal Proxy is fine, and it’s helpful for people who live in countries that block Signal. I ran it during Iran revolution. It’s only a nginx forward proxy.

Tor exit relay is a big no-no since you may expose yourself to illegal content. But you can run a relay without it being an exit node.

yes, that’s the problem. We may still have 47 years of oil left (I think we have less), but the cost to extract it will rise, and the economy will take a hit. So yes, we have to reorganize or we won’t have to only think about the climate…

I run a signal proxy since the Iran revolution, but I had to tweak their project to make it run on rpi. Then I installed Molly and it doesn’t support HTTPS porxy, only socks. So I rewrote it with caddy (which is a lot nicer) but now HTTPS doesn’t work anymore. Not sure if I did something wrong.

In the end, I kept the nginx proxy for rhé others.
