first time parasailing gone wrong

I went parasailing once. It was not at all like this! In my case, it was a gradual winch-out, float up into the air. Peaceful. Quiet. Sedate. Nice view. Your experience looks rather more exciting.

❔Gesucht: Modem oder Router mit Bridge-Mode für Kabelinternet

Ich habe einen eigenen Router mit OpenWRT und suche etwas, das für mich die Kabelverbindung zu Vodafone erledigt. Die Router von denen sind Leihgeräte, unterstützen keinen bridge-mode und kosten pro monat geld Momentan hab ich eine gebrauchte Fritzbox für DSL als modem, ist nicht ideal aber okay. Bei Fritzboxen ist es leider super intransparent wie lange die unterstützt werden und wann welches Modell erschienen ist. Auf endoflife.date ist sie leider noch nicht, auch weil das scrapen schwierig ist schätze ich. Ich schätze gebrauchte fritzboxen sind am günstigsten weil verfügbar, ein dediziertes Modem oder Router mit bridge-mode wäre aber sehr nice.

Anybody Who Thinks Orbital Data Centers are a Good Idea Is Suffering from AI Psychosis, Experts Argue

These dishes only need a radiator < 2 times the size of the ISS radiators if they were using the radiators on the ISS. They’re only 125kw avg, 150kw peak and the ISS radiators are rated 84kw. I’m sure there’s been advancements in radiating heat efficiently in space as well. Cumulatively it’ll be a lot, but the solar panels will be even more. They’re way bigger than the radiators.

Indigenous cultural practices are a climate solution, report finds

This story was originally published by Grist. Joseph Lee Grist As the impacts of climate change continue to escalate, a growing number of climate scientists and policymakers cite Indigenous lands as a model for their rich biodiversity and effective carbon storage. But that recognition has not always translated into space for Indigenous leaders in climate negotiations, access to climate resilience funding, or enforcement of human rights standards. That has been the case for decades. But the problems do not stop there. New research shows that approach overlooks the key role that Indigenous knowledge and culture can play in mitigating climate change. It also reveals a dangerous misconception that has taken hold in global climate discussions: the idea that Indigenous lands are so rich because they are remote or sparsely populated. Nothing could be further from the truth. The health of Indigenous lands and their ability to store vast quantities of carbon stem from the stewardship of the people who inhabit them. That’s the finding of research from Conservation International, which shows that traditional knowledge, community protocol, and Indigenous culture play a direct role in protecting forests, wildlife, and the environment. Sushma Shrestha, who is Indigenous Newar from Nepal and the study’s lead author, said the research comes at a critical time. “All of humanity relies on everything that Indigenous peoples have to contribute and offer in terms of their lands, in terms of carbon storage, in terms of biodiversity conservation,” she said. The study, released as a narrative report and a peer-reviewed study, explores how Indigenous knowledge and practices benefit the planet. It also found that all 43 of the surveyed communities are experiencing drought, extreme weather, and other adverse impacts from climate change. More than half are affected by extractive industries like mining and logging. Researchers interviewed 49 Indigenous leaders from six continents about how they steward their land, which ranged from the Amazon rainforest to East African savannas and Pacific Islands. They found that traditional management practices like avoiding overfishing, maintaining sacred spaces, watching for fires and other threats, and direct resistance against extraction contribute to the remarkable health of Indigenous territory. Ninety-six percent of respondents said they had land set aside for special uses, like spiritual practices, that also benefit the environment by protecting those spaces and ecosystems. Shrestha stressed that although each Indigenous community is distinct, there are shared lessons the entire world can learn from. “It’s a time where all hands need to be on deck,” Shrestha said. “And collectively, actions need to be taken, and indigenous peoples have been doing this on their own for a very long time.” The study builds on years of research that shows, among other things, that the world’s healthiest forests are on Indigenous lands and conservation efforts are more effective when they incorporate Indigenous autonomy and decision-making at every step. Drought and extreme weather were the top climate impacts cited, but 61 percent of those interviewed also called mining, commercial agriculture, logging, and other incursions serious concerns. These issues threaten to disrupt land stewardship practices that have endured for millennia. To help mitigate these challenges, Indigenous peoples are asking for mitigation and resilience funding, legal advice for protecting their territories, and recognition of national and international land rights. “Indigenous Peoples’ Knowledge cannot exist without Indigenous Peoples or without the ecosystems where we live,” Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, who is Indigenous Mbororo from Chad and a former chair of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, wrote in a forward to the report. “To protect our knowledge, there is an urgent need to recognize us, and our rights and lands must be secured.” Respondents from a wide range of countries, including Bolivia, Mexico, and the Philippines, mentioned using community monitoring or patrols to protect their land from outsiders and violations of traditional protocol. Several also called for stronger legal protections to protect their lands from being sold or developed. Shrestha, Ibrahim, and other Indigenous experts said that as much as Indigenous peoples are asking for help, they are also urging the world to learn from them. The Kichwa people in Ecuador, for example, restrict hunting of female tapirs and other animals to help slow population decline. The Tacana people in Bolivia, among others, do not permit tree clearing along rivers, which helps maintain water quality and prevent erosion. The list goes on, and could help the rest of the world mitigate climate change and protect the environment. “It is my hope the voices of the sisters and brothers from all over the world reflected in this report trigger the action we need for the planet we all want, the action we need for Indigenous Peoples Knowledge to flourish, and honor our grandparents and our children that are yet to come,” Ibrahim said. Given the scale of the threats facing the world and the urgency with which they must be addressed, Shrestha said that policy changes and enforcement of Indigenous land rights is more important than ever. She also stressed that these actions will benefit the entire world. “One thing that everybody can do, whether that is at the national level, or at the global level, is to really secure indigenous peoples’ rights to lands,” she said.

People are willing to pay more for climate-proof wine, study shows

What’s a winemaker to do on a warming planet? Much has been written about how climate change threatens viticulture around the globe — or at least, threatens to fundamentally change the practice. A long-lasting drought in Chile is forcing winemakers to rethink irrigation systems. Vintners in California must not only endure wildfires but also the smoke that comes with them and lingers, which can alter the taste of their grapes. Severe frosts in the Champagne region of France are also altering the acidity and flavor profile of vineyards’ grapes, although some growers are starting to lean into that. A new study out of Cornell University looks at three techniques that winegrape producers can use to adapt to warmer temperatures, ranging from relatively simple and inexpensive to potentially existential: Install shade cloth to shield precious grapes from the harsh effects of the sun; grow new varieties of grapes better adapted to the heat; or relocate to cooler climates. The researchers found that, for all three cases, when these changes are communicated to shoppers, consumers are willing to pay a premium for these climate-resilient wines — even if it means some of the name-brand recognition of, say, California’s Napa Valley is lost in the process. The idea behind the market study was both to help growers understand the climate adaptation strategies available to them, the costs associated with these decisions, and then finally, how consumers perceive them. “A producer can make all the changes in the world — but if they don’t resonate well with consumers, then it’s moot,” said Alex Susskind, one of the study’s co-authors and a professor of food and beverage management at Cornell University’s school of hotel administration. The challenge with the three strategies identified by the researchers — invest in new infrastructure, invest in new grapes, or get up and move — is that only two of them might be immediately obvious to consumers. If a vineyard in California installs shade cloths throughout its estate to protect grapes from sunburn, most shoppers would have no idea, unless it was somehow explicitly stated on the finished product, like on the wine label. On the other hand, if a producer in Napa Valley known for cultivating Cabernet Sauvignon grapes switched to its focus to Carignane grapes — or if that same grower relocated to Lake County, just an hour or two north — consumers would likely notice. In the third option, for example, those grapes don’t end up producing a bottle of “Napa Valley Cabernet anymore, that’s a Lake County Cabernet,” said Susskind. In other words, the touchpoints that guide many consumers’ choices — what winemaking region a bottle is from, what grape variety they use — change. Of all the options available to winegrape producers, Susskind said, relocating showed the “least desirability” among survey participants, meaning they were least willing to pay more for these wines. But crucially, respondents still said they would pay extra for wines made from these grapes. Read Next Indigenous cultural practices are a climate solution, report finds Joseph Lee There are limits to the study. For one, it only considers adaptation strategies for winegrape growers and doesn’t explore climate mitigation strategies, which would help growers to decarbonize production and have an overall lighter impact on the climate. Additionally, only 300 participants answered the survey, most of them college graduates under 40 years of age. Included in the survey respondents were people who reported to “care about environmental issues and read labels on food products,” according to the study — two things not everyone does, or does every time they go shopping. And the researchers acknowledged that there may be a novelty factor at play here — over time, wine-drinkers’ willingness to pay more for these bottles may fade. Still, people in the industry feel that the results are promising. “This is genuinely valuable work,” said Jimena Balic, a winemaking researcher based in Chile. “The economics of climate adaptation in wine are badly under-documented, and putting real numbers to ‘go, stay, or change’ plus the finding that consumers will pay a premium for adaptation, is exactly the kind of evidence growers need.” Balic believes that winegrowers are not likely to invest in any adaptation strategies unless they are likely to pay off. She added that for winegrape producers, adaptation is more likely to be implemented in a more piecemeal way rather than wholesale. Maybe producers plant different varieties of grapes in one part of their land and install shade cloth in another to maximize output. And heat isn’t the only climate threat facing vineyards: While some regions may face drought, others might see unpredictable rainfall, as well as hail, frost, and pests. “Wine risk is multifactorial,” said Balic, “and each hazard carries its own cost and its own adaptation choices.” She would like to see further research expand on these challenges. Similarly, the results of the study didn’t surprise Greg Jones, a wine climatologist and CEO of a winery based in Oregon. “But there’s so many other caveats,” he added. From his point of view, much depends on educating the consumer around the viticultural process and how wine gets made — and then doing more education around how climate change is affecting growers. Whether consumers can perfectly hold all of those things in their mind is something the industry is still figuring out. “We have a system where the consumer is hard to read,” he said. Jones, who has spent the last 25 years studying the impacts of a changing climate on winegrape production, among other things, said he felt encouraged by the Cornell team’s research. “The research says something important, people would be willing to pay more for [these wines],” he added. He hopes it will lead to further studies on adaptation and consumer preference.

Taxpayer-Funded Sports Stadiums Are a Massive Scam

Instead, the people of major U.S. cities essentially pay for the privilege of spending more money once the stadium is fully built—or, as is becoming more common, paying for the privilege of being priced out of attending games when tickets go on sale. Not only can I not walk onto the 30-yard line of Lincoln Financial Field, home of the Philadelphia Eagles—which was paid for in large part by public money in the early 2000s—I must pay at least a few hundred dollars on any autumn Sunday to even attend a game. One of the biggest falsehoods that sports franchises and local governments peddle is that new stadiums will stimulate the local economy so greatly that any tax money spent on building the stadium will somehow funnel back into the pockets of the people. It’s the sports world’s version of “trickle-down economics,” and decades worth of data prove otherwise.

47 years ago today, Sony introduced the Walkman

from Time magazine’s “A Brief History of The Walkman” (July 01, 2009): The Walkman wasn’t a giant leap forward in engineering: magnetic cassette technology had been around since 1963, when the Netherlands-based electronics firm Philips first created it for use by secretaries and journalists. Sony, who by that point had become experts in bringing well-designed, miniaturized electronics to market (they debuted their first transistor radio in 1955), made a series of moderately successful portable cassette recorders. But the introduction of pre-recorded music tapes in the late 1960s opened a whole new market. People still chose to listen to vinyl records over cassettes at home, but the compact size of tapes made them more conducive to car stereos and mobility than vinyl or 8-tracks. On July 1, 1979, Sony Corp. introduced the Sony Walkman TPS-L2, a 14 ounce, blue-and-silver, portable cassette player with chunky buttons, headphones and a leather case. It even had a second earphone jack so that two people could listen in at once. Masaru Ibuka, Sony’s co-founder, traveled often for business and would find himself lugging Sony’s bulky TC-D5 cassette recorder around to listen to music. He asked Norio Ohga, then Executive Deputy President, to design a playback-only stereo version, optimized for use with headphones. Ibuka brought the result — a compact, high-quality music player — to Chairman Akio Morita and reportedly said, “Try this. Don’t you think a stereo cassette player that you can listen to while walking around is a good idea?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walkman

Would it be considered trespassing when my psycho landlord closes my bedroom window from the outside?

You need to check on tenancy laws in your location. It might not be considered trespassing, but it could be something else. Here in the UK tenants have a right to “quiet enjoyment” as it is phrased in law, which means your landlord is not allowed to bother you unannounced, and if they want to come to the property they must give reasonable advance notice (usually 24 hours) You may have something similar. Then again, the landlord having remote-control over your A/C sounds like absolutely psycho behaviour already, so good luck with that.

I have too much scrap wood. I needed a scrap wood bin. So I made a scrap wood bin out of scrap wood to hold my scrap wood.

publication croisée depuis : https://lemmy.world/post/48861413 Scrappiest of scrap wood projects. The proportions are odd, but it’s designed to fit under the landing of the stairs going into the garage. Makes a good use of an otherwise awkward space. Like everything else in the shop, it’s on casters to allow for easy movement and cleaning around. Most of this wood was from the big lifting tower I used to get the dust collector motor into place.

Mullvad is apparently the main financier of a Swedish far-right party

Hot take: Interesting but I don’t care. You shouldn’t buy a VPN for political reasons, if you go looking for super anarchist/Marxist VPN services you’ll fall right into a fed honeypot. The VPN space is very fucked. Mostly zionist intelligence cut-outs, suspicious parties like Proton that might be the CIA’s new crypto-AG, and so on. I mean it is a prime place for intelligence and police honeypots and a high priority target for the eyes alliance. Real fish in a barrel the targets come to you situation with VPNs for western mass surveillance intelligence spying. There are unfortunately no good no-logs, full-featured, unlimited traffic VPNs headquartered in western-immune, western hostile countries like Russia or China. So your choices are suspicious, weird, genocide funding/known compromised all around. There are no perfect choices. What there are, are choices that have passed a certain sniff test of not keeping logs that are accessible to the police (whether there are logs kept by the eyes alliance groups which cops will be told “fuck off” to is another question) and Mullvad for good or ill passes that test. Being able to mail them cash is really great and cops couldn’t find anything. The fact they turned off port forwarding makes them unsuitable if your major use case is yo-ho or other types of torrent enabled file sharing but for privacy they’re hardly the worst option IMO. So stop dooming if you paid for a subscription. Continue to use it. Honestly feel safer swimming next to fascists in this sense because they target the left not fascists and hiding among them in this kind of a case seems like it has no downsides from a privacy perspective. Your money isn’t going to bring about fascism and you shouldn’t feel guilty buying a service that happens to be run by someone who gives some profits to fascists. If you feel guilty over that then go live in a cave in the woods because spoiler: things you buy everyday including shopping at a supermarket, major electronics where both available brands do it, etc are all in on supporting fascism and you won’t “discerning consumer” your way out of fascism. Your safety and finances take priority over this kind of feel-good purchasing behavior. Further if you already paid don’t stop using it. That’s just giving them free money from your lack of use given you already paid.
