BastingChemina,

A full SolarPunk utopia ! The climate change is there by we are adapting to it. People are now living in community that still have a relatively advanced level of technology but they are focused on being substainable. However for most of the daily life the technology used is mostly low tech.

The concept of nature died with the ancient world. Because now everything is nature, the conceptual separation between nature and civilisation collapsed. Now cities, communities and fields or forest are interlaced, rather than exploiting their environnement societies are nurturing it. The food is local, there is a few electric trucks transportation is mostly done by bike and cargo bike. Everything is repairable, most of the energy is produced locally with renewables energy.

Overall we might have lost some material comfort but gained on the quality of life.

I know it’s an utopia, I can’t be sure that it’s gonna happen but the one thing I can be sure it’s that if we don’t try it’s never gonna happen. I believe that or current thermo-industrial civilization started to collapse but I believe that we can still have some very happy lives after that.

BastingChemina,

Cargo ship with sails are also being developed and built.

The difference I imagine is that be a kite can be retrofitted into an existing ship. Or on a new ship without too many modifications.

BastingChemina,

Heat pump are also great for water heating!

BastingChemina,

There is a book that describes exactly that: Ashes, Ashes by Barjavel.

It’s a classic of French science-fiction literature and I recommended everyone to read.

It was written in 1943, it describes a parisian dystopian society in 2050 where all the electricity suddenly stop overnight. Even thought the book is 80 years old it is surprisingly accurate in some aspect.

You forgot water in your scenario.

To be fair most people in a first world country don’t need to think about water since it’s just “there”, all the time.

But as soon as the electricity goes out the water supply goes out too.

No water supply means no water to drink, with no water the human body die within 3 days, so people will start to rely on any dirty water they can find.

About dirty water, no water also means no WC. I repeat: no WC so no evacuation of feces and urine. Within a few day a big city swill be covered with human excrement. Mixed with no clean water access it means that deadly waterborne diseases will spread extremely quickly.

BastingChemina,

For something more modern there is also the French mini series: youtu.be/VHCeqvQBNIM?si=RvjrgWHh2BNwFqT-

The world collapsed overnight and we are following few survivors. The second episode in the gas station gave me goosebumps.

The videos with the full episodes are available on youtube but region locked to France. I don’t know how to make it available for everyone.

(Please see comments)Alternatives to Signal if they exit EU due to ending E2EE

Like the title states looking for E2EE apps (Android and iOS) without going into much details or needs to be robust enough and easy to use for anyone and stable for operations that are susceptible to constant electronic warfare. I did some research and thought about replacing Signal with Molly and wondering if it will still work...

BastingChemina,

Briar is probably the best bet if we want something that works despite any governmental effort to break encrypted messaging.

I never really used it (I don’t have anyone around it interested to try it with me :'( ) but I would be interested to hear more about it if anyone has experience with it.

BastingChemina,

I’ve never used nixos but with nixos would it be possible to do all that with just the configuration file ?

BastingChemina,

Your coworkers put their password under the keyboard ? Mine just leave a post it on the side of the monitor.

BastingChemina,

Yeah, for us the solar installation (5kw of panels) was around US$14k. Since electricity is quite expensive and we live in a sunny country the installation paid for itself in 4 years.

BastingChemina,

Did someone suggested Debian already? If not I would suggest Debian.

BastingChemina,

I had a similar experience but in a big aerospace company (~1500 persons on the site where I was working).

The system to create and edit work instructions was only running on old UNIX workstations. It was in 2015.

BastingChemina,

Or it could an extension for the millions of chickens that the US government keep I’m the a secret location.

BastingChemina,

Even underground there is tons of issues. One for example is that the ground is having tides.

As the moon passes above is the ground is moving by several cm so it has to be compensated by the collider.

BastingChemina,

This is fundamental research, we never know what we are going to find.

BastingChemina,

I met my wife on tinder, we were living in two different country 80 km from each other but it worked.

However it was almost a decade ago.
