    “Although the Euphrates River - stretching ~3,000 km across Western Asia - has shaped the region’s geology for millions of years, the timing of its origin and the evolution of its course remain enigmatic. So far, two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the fluvial system’s Late Neogene path: termination in Anatolia at a palaeo-lake or the Mediterranean, or a southeastward continuation to Arabia. Here [they] use seismic-reflection and topographic data to show that two previously identified sedimentary accumulations - deposited during the terminal phase of the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis - resulted from dual riverine systems that drained into a partially desiccated eastern Mediterranean before avulsing toward the Persian Gulf and converging to form the modern Euphrates River. From probabilistic sediment-budget modelling, [they] show that although the latest Messinian drainage basins were an order of magnitude smaller than their present-day extents, the total palaeo-discharge exceeded that of the modern Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers combined, indicating intense palaeo-precipitation and high palaeo-relief. These results suggest that plate-margin deformation both controlled the fluvial avulsions that diverted the Euphrates River from the Anatolian–Eurasian Plate to the Arabian Plate, and established the conditions necessary for the development of the alluvial Fertile Crescent…”

    The recent studies showed that there are a large number of natural and political events that happened within the last three decades in the area of the Tigris-Euphrates river system that for sure have done a great change to the environment of the two rivers and consequently changing the biological and non-biological resources of the two rivers.

  5. Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Their Environment from Headwaters to Mouth by Laith A. Jawad, 2022

    The system of the Tigris-Euphrates Rivers is one of the great river systems of southwestern Asia. It comprises the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, which follow roughly parallel courses through the heart of the Middle East. The lower portion of the region that they run through is known as Mesopotamia, was one of the cradles of civilisation.

  7. Die #Wasserreserven im #Irak sind auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit 80 Jahren.

    Dürren, wenig #Niederschlag und #Staudämme in der #Türkei und im #Iran verschärfen die Lage. Millionen Menschen sind betroffen. Der Irak gehört laut #UNO zu den Ländern, die am stärksten unter dem menschengemachten #Klimawandel leiden. Auch weltweit nimmt die Zahl extremer #Hitzewellen und anderer #Klimarisiken messbar zu.

  9. Das passt sehr gut zu meiner aktuellen Stimmung.
    Ich habe heute einiges erledigt und fühle mich deswegen vermutlich jetzt sehr gut.

    Tanzen wäre mir jetzt zu hektisch, aber Kopfnicken und Fußwippen geht klar. :mastodance:

    Mahnwache Omas gegen rechts gegen das Ende der Brandmauer.

    Ort: vor der Kölner Kreisgeschäftsstelle der CDU, Unter Taschenmacher 2, #Koeln

    Die Omas sind wieder stabil und freuen sich h über Heißgetränke und Leute, die mal auf einen Klönschnack rum kommen.

  12. If teahouse takes off, I'm going to pay someone to implement orchestration for #FlyIO and #Tigris.

    It's a lot simpler than other cloud platforms I've used, but it's still pretty easy to loose track of all the access tokens and service links you need.

  14. Thanks everyone who responded to my question about finding an #AWS alternative. I've investigated everyone's suggestions and crunched the numbers. #Cloudflare R2 looks to be the cheapest option (cheaper than S3 even) but I'm uncomfortable with them hosting hate speech and terror organizations.

    #FlyIO/ #Tigris is the second cheapest and they seem to be on the up-and-up so I am currently evaluating them. Thanks @titociuro for the suggestion, the onboarding process has been smooth so far!

  16. Using S3 is not easy, but dang, Tigris made it very fast.

    My Trello alternative will have file attachments soon.

  17. Ok, today in computer shenanigans:

    #Tigris supports static hosting, BUT it does DNS-01 ACME, not HTTP-01. Which is incompatible with apex domains without a custom DNS server.

    So I think if I combine caddyserver.com/docs/automatic with github.com/lindenlab/caddy-s3- (utilizing variables to map host to bucket), I can get at least a single-instance ingress going. And all I need is to add a confirmation URL to my app.

    (Geographically distributed ingress with left as an exercise for the reader.)

  19. hm, tigris vhost access (per tigrisdata.com/docs/buckets/pu) doesn't seem to work, but path requests do.

    Anyone else see it?

  22. "#Iraq is running out of #water. It is the fifth most vulnerable nation to the impact of #ClimateChange.

    Water levels in the #Euphrates and #Tigris rivers have dropped by half.
    And many Iraqis say #oil industry water use is just exacerbating the problem."

  24. America's War for Oil and the Great Mesopotamian #Dustbowl

    "As Iraqi posts on social media now regularly observe in horror, at certain places, if you stand on the banks of those once mighty [#Tigris and #Euphrates], you can see through to their riverbeds. You can even, Iraqis report, ford them on foot in some spots, a previously unheard-of phenomenon."

  27. "Water levels in the #Tigris and #Euphrates rivers, which account for more than 90 per cent of #Iraq's freshwater reserves, have declined significantly over the years, partly as a result of the construction of #dams and diversion of #water upstream in Turkey and Iran." And now #ClimateChangeIsTheLastStraw

    "Iraq has the world's fifth-largest proven #oil reserves but it also ranks fifth among countries most vulnerable to #CimateChange, according to the UN."

  29. I spent the tail-end of last week defining a new tech stack called TERN. Well, it didn't take long to swap the "M" in to a "T" for 😊

    It didn't take much longer to port the existing MERN stack example over to TERN ⚡️

    Here's the write-up tigrisdata.com/blog/tern-stack/
