Pour ce qui est du coût, on est déjà prêt à payer des sommes faramineuses pour les enterrer à quintuple sécurité (et plus encore) aussi profondément qu'envisageable sous terre et continuer de payer le maintien des lieux ainsi que de la sécurité pour les siècles à venir.

Malheureusement, c'est vrai que la technologie utilisée pour atteindre l'orbite terrestre est une «bombe contrôlée» (énergie sous forme chimique) qui tend à exploser catastrophiquement. Je n'ai pas les qualifications pour évaluer la faisabilité de ma proposition avec les technologies existantes. Il se peut que l'idée ne soit possible avec les contraintes de sécurité requis qu'avec des technologies futures.

Cependant, avec les technologies actuelles, pour éviter les dérapages incontrôlés dû à une explosion on peut se limiter à envoyer des quantités minimales dans un contenant/coffre/cercueil suffisamment étanche et capable de survivre à une/des explosions (ou la pire situation que les ingénieurs peuvent imaginer) et de le récupérer sans fuite/contamination dans l'environnement suite à l'incident.

De plus, ce n'est pas comme si on n'envoie pas déjà de matières nucléaires en orbites ou sur d'autre planète, par example les batteries dite «RTG» sont fréquemment utilisés dans l'espace.

Usually, I help family and friends setup their computer to something familiar/similar to their routine (especially those that do everything in their browser). Otherwise, I let them slowly adapt to some new alternative software for their case use by preconfiguring it with them.

Generally, I recommend Linux Mint for those that are used to the Windows "feel".

Guide: Linux Mint Installation Guide

Video: Linux Mint 21.3 (Wayland) Install Guide Note: I have not watched the whole video, I just quickly skipped around to see if they made sense.

Ideally, try to get a relative or friend who already use some flavor of Linux to sit down with you and help you get going with the transition, guaranteed they would be overjoyed. It'll help avoid some obvious pitfall/mistake depending on your expertise level on IT stuff and streamline the experience by sharing knowledge.

I'll skip. Just like how I skipped AOL, MySpace, LiveJournal, 4Chan, Friendster, Hi5, Orkut, Bebo, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Blogger, Google+, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Twitter, Instagram, Quora, Twitch, YouTube, Vine, Netflix, OkCupid, Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Discord, TikTok… oh all of the Apple ecosystem, and many other I missed by being oblivious or simply never heard of…

I liked the Slashdot, Digg, Reddit and now the Lemmy format/style. Will continue to move on to whatever I find stupid simple and publicly accessible I guess. I am naturally lazy, advertisement averse and hate having to provide personal info just to use something non-governmental or non-essential.

Now, with the increasing prevalence of LLM based bots, I will probably ineluctably reduce my time spent posting anything (I certainly hope it doesn't get that bad, only time will tell) on any kind of “social media” and focus on current and new family, friends, coworkers, colleagues and acquaintances.

Pourquoi pas la lune? On prévoit y établir une base permanente pour les voyage futurs plus distants (Mars, Ceinture principale d'astéroïdes, lunes de Jupiter).

Si jamais on retournait au moyen âge par négligence (3ème Guerre Mondiale, Changement Climatique, accident nucléaire/biologique grave, etc.) ou juste naturellement (pandémie plus sérieuse, volcanisme, astéroïde, etc.) on pourrait garantir que même si les déchets nucléaires était oubliés, ils ne seront accessible qu'à ceux ayant les connaissances, la coopération et la prudence d'atteindre l'orbite terrestre et la lune de manière contrôlée sans périr en chemin. Ainsi, ayant les connaissance technique pour détecter/remédier à des déchets nucléaires

Notez que la lune n'est qu'un exemple proche, on pourrait tout-à-fait dédier une astéroïde ou même une orbite de rebut parmi les trajectoires héliocentriques.

Man… I never complained about Winter, I actually love everything about it; the cold, the wind, the hoarfrost, the blizzards, the ice storms, the freezing rain, even the brown slush on the road. However, nowadays snowfalls have become thinner and thinner or even just raining instead and melting away whatever little snow had accumulated. It's sad.

On the other hand, Summer, I turn into a lazy Grinch that avoids the heat and the Sun as if I was a human snowman.

Everytime I see that graph, beyond the constant reminder of the hyperobject that is Climate Change, I am anticipating the dread of a even more scorching summer on its way in a few more months. On top of that, I also have take forest fires in consideration and prepare air filters and/or n100/n95 masks and replacement cartridges for myself, family and older relatives.

It is sad to see we still, all considered, have not yet even begun to lower emissions and will probably continue to argue over keeping the status quo for as long as possible until maybe, unfortunately, entire cities are regularly assailed by amplified natural and man-made disasters in back-to-back sequence and until everyone is affected directly or indirectly by those irreversible damages.

(Reposting my same reply to an identical post as this one regarding daily sea surface temperature; you can check my post history)

I am not sufficiently qualified to comment on this particular sociocultural trends nor can I give medical recommendations. However, some may want to inform themselves by evaluating the current status of relevant research. A number of studies have found that greater ejaculation frequency is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer.

One such research in question :

Yes, 😅. Thank you for letting me know.

I typed correctly I'm pretty sure, but typing it again now it autocorrects to "C - C - P" now 🫤. Even more confused.

I'll edit my original post.

  • Alpine on Pi4.

  • LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).

  • TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.

  • VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).

Concentrated lemonade…? 😳

  • You let it it dilute as you go, as per your taste.

A block of hard cheese…? 😆

  • It would be water resistant (waterproof) enough to last the whole shower.

That is an interesting thought experiment that never occurred to me.

What‽ Why would such a thing exist ??? 🤔

Testing your electrical panel? and how fast the firefighters are to get to your house?
