Can #science be #neutral in a world shaped by war, politics and global #crises?
This #GeoLog post explores the great debate held during the Townhall Meeting " The Myth of Neutrality: Geoscience Responsibility in Times of Global Conflicts " at #EGU26, on whether scientists should remain neutral or take ethical and political responsibilities that shape their work.

Mental #health #crises must not be turned into #entertainment. Even difficult or confrontational people deserve #dignity, compassion, and #privacy in such situations, rather than ridicule, #voyeurism, and public humiliation.

Among hobbyist operating systems, #TempleOS stands out as one of the most well-known, having attracted considerably more press coverage and a much larger fan-base than any other hobby operating system can boast. The reason TempleOS stands out from the crowd is not due to its modest technical achievements, but because it is clearly the product of severe untreated #schizophrenia. What makes TempleOS special is that Terry built it to talk to God. Every feature and each technical decision re-enforces his schizophrenic delusions, from its implementation language (“HolyC”) to its prophetic “oracle” app. Enthusiasts of TempleOS are drawn to it in part because it affords an opportunity to explore the unique, creative #masterwork of a person #suffering from #mental #illness in a way that deeply impacts that work.

Lecornu songerait à priver de congés les conseillers ministériels à cause de la gestion de la canicule, mais aussi des retombées de l'affaire Lyhanna, l'explosion de la dette publique etc. etc. Le sujet a été évoqué en conseil des ministres, selon mes infos. "Il va y avoir des permanences, le reste c'est de la com, ne dramatisons pas tout", me confie le conseiller d'un ministre régalien. Message envoyé à Matignon, qui commence à péter un plomb

A desintegração regional da América do Sul
Direita vence quase todas as eleições na região, mas há um elemento mais profundo. Desde 2010, paralisação de mecanismos como UNASUL desarticula coordenação entre países, esvazia a soberania da região e contribui para reprimarizá-lahttps://outraspalavras.net/geopoliticaeguerra/a-desintegracao-regional-da-america-do-sul/

Quand le #solarpunk aide à ouvrir des voies concrètes dans un contexte de multi-crises :
"Apparu sur des blogues autour de 2008, en pleine récession économique, le solarpunk est à la fois un genre littéraire de science-fiction, une esthétique architecturale et un courant social.
Il propose l'inverse des récits dystopiques : un avenir désirable, à faible empreinte carbone, où la technologie sert les communautés plutôt que les actionnaires".https://ici.radio-canada.ca/info/long-format/2253515/solarpunk-ecologie-ville-isolement-solitude

You can learn a lot about gov't from studying disaster relief, from how #federalism works (or doesn't) to why "best practices" are important in #crises. Most important, you'll see why focus, professionalism and good management are critical to good gov't. http://www.fromthegovt.com/disaster-relief/

Datacenter backup of backups
• A datacenter backup is another building far, far away from the main one (other town / city / country)
• You need it in case your main datacenter gets into a catastrophy (fire, earthquake, flood, tsunami, sinkhole, meteor strike)
• The backup datacenter is smaller and has less processing power, but enough to keep demand / response flowing, fair to bit slow, but keep the site(s) on air
•• backup datacenters are fully uitlized facilities, just smaller
•• they need the same as the bullet points stated above
•• they eat RAM HDDs SSDs et all, just at a smaller scale, but still large enough to hit the consumer market severelyConclusion
We are fucked!
• just kidding ;)
No we are in heavy seas
• observe
History lesson
• In the 1990's there was a disaster with electrolytic capacitors
• They were produced with faulty dielectric materials
• The elco's swelled up (toxic gasses forming) after a short while of working (days, weeks to some months) then exploded or teared open, causing shorts which fried components like chipset IC's CPU's 16550AF UARTS sound ICs etc
• The capacitors were installed on hundreds of thousands of motherboardsWe survived
• The computing world did not end!
• Many of you reading need to look this event up
• Most of the people who were fixing the boards have forgotten the event periodWe shall overcome the LLM component crises
• Homo sapiens is a resilient species
• Our intelligence will prevailStay positive!
Thank you for reading

💾 Western Digital
We are sold out
WTF!??
Why?
• LLM's demolished the server HDD stock.
Western Digital has run out of HDD capacity for 2026!
Disaster for consumers small professionals & even large professionals!
CEO Irving Tan has confirmed the company is running on fumes
• Purchase orders from major customers & longterm agreements are reaching well into 2K27 & even 2K28!• Three years of desert level drought is close for consumers regarding WD HDD's
Who is buying the HDD stock?
Datacenters
• LLM companies (what a set of ^&^#$&^)
• Cloud & Hyperscale Data Centers
•• many don't even have their datacenters built
• These entities now give WD 90% of its revenue.
• Consumer drives are just 10%.Enterprise demand is decumating supply
• LLM training
• inference logs
• scraped STOLEN web data
• backups
•• these need many Petabytes of storageEven though GPUs get the headlines (whining gamers), HDDs are the crucial backbone of LLM boom
•• They’re still the most cost-effective way to store Peta and Exabytes of data.Results
• Consumer HDD supplies shrink
• Enterprise long term agreements {LTA} are locking in multi-year volume + pricing
• Price pressure is already happening (I feel them already)
•• A puny 8TiB Western Digital consumer grade HDD was 108USD two years ago all they way to my country of SR / SA
•• That same 8TiB HDD is now 196 USD to my country if and WHEN I can find it
••• I now find other brands easier but due to the higher quality they naturally cost more to begin with
••• Toshiba 7 Fujitsu are a few of those brands
••• I'd be better off getting a box of 24TiB server grade HDD's
••• In bulk ammounts, these cost less per TiB & they have many more IOPs that consumer HDDsDRAM and NAND
We are all suffering from DRAM and NAND prices seeking amazingly horrific heights
• Try to get a 64GiB to 512GiB microSD card for a normal price (feb 2K25 level)
• While you are at it do the same with 64GiB to 256GiB USB sticks
• You won't find them (needles in haystacks aer a snap to find in comparison)
•• Large microSD cards are for now fairly normally priced (20% more) but I need small ones for my SBC computer(s) which need many OS distro's to boot from, to perform different functions with differen HATsSince septenmber 2K25 my beloved consumer HDDs are getting much more expensive also
The LLM cycle of tsunami like destruction is not just 6nm IC's
It’s about everything datacenter wise
What is needed in a datacenter?
• H2O O2 N2 CU
•• you need water and those gasses to keep the natural flow of air running in your massive building which looks more like an Amazon storage facility than a computer server building.
• sand / grounds / realistate
• steel and iron
•• without those your facility can't even be build• AC \ DC {not our beloved metal band ;)}
•• you need to power the servers, JBOD enclosures & HDDs, SSD enclosures to cache the HDDs, fibre optic backbones, CU cabling & rails, circuit breakers, switches
• AC regulation
•• AC regulation is a whole seperate topic which I'll touch briefly
••• I setup matrix UPS systems which take the AC from the grid, convert it to DC then make their own super stable PFC corrected AC for the server racks
••• This guarantees stable power on all rails in the datacenter
• AC is also generated on our own AC generator matrix
•• Some generators (in FIFO sequence) run concurrently with AC
•• When AC grid failures occur these generators give power within a few seconds to the UPS matrix, which keep feeding the rails in the buildings
•• The other generators spool up and stabilize fast keeping the datacenter running smoothly on power1/2

To all those who curse the Raspberry Pi Foundation
The foundation gives the prices only to you for technology they buy and use. They don't put the extra costs in their own pockets.
You should concentrate your hates against the broligarchs. They're the ones who're causing. Buy the market empty for the Ai-Bubble.
