SMTP is about as simple as it can get

Tell that to the “senior network engineer” I am trying to get to unblock SMTP for the server running our software on their network. Its coming up to 2 weeks now.

Haha, I got to work and its still broken. I read about this last night and though damn why must it happen after I finished work.

Its STILL down! At least they can still claim 99% uptime I guess.

Huh. Didn’t know she used to be a professional poker player.

I have an allotment in the UK and pretty much everything growing in it is perennial plants that should just keep growing from year to year. Finished my first year and most of this year has really been buying a few of each different thing I hear about and trying to see what works without too much effort.

Jerusalem artichokes are ready to start harvesting about now and should be fine in the ground all winter. Are they perennial? They certainly could be left alone to do their thing. But I do plan to dig up the whole plant and for each one put 2/3 tubers back in the ground because I only bought a few and the space I have could probably take more than I planted. But importantly they are harvested and planted again at the same time just by leaving a few behind.

Tree kale, grows for up to a decade or so, already more than doubled the number in 6 months and I only started with some cuttings bought online. Planning on growing about 12 and may take more cuttings at that point to give away.

Rhubarb, almost everyone grows this.

Perennial top setting onions, newest addition and I hope to use them mostly like spring onions but you can eat the bulbs too. Might use them in some dried seasoning salts too. Somewhat dependent on how well they grow though. Seem to be doing alright so far, will see what winter does.

Daily? Wtf kind of plants are you growing. I use pots to get seeds and cuttings started before planting them outside, most I can leave for a week or more before looking at them again.

First plant I grew was rosemary. Propagated it quite a long way at this point although I really should cut it back at some point now. Want to move it back in the bed its growing in really but that’s a couple of years to get to the size it is.

Probably best to cut it down and plant a new one. When I originally planted them I did 2 rows but I think 1 row down the middle would have been better, the back row died off or barely grew and the front row is massive and flopping over the path but has an empty gap behind it.

Adopt a dog and it attacks you because you are preventing it from attacking livestock, pretty good reason to return it that I have seen.

Not sure what they do with the dog after that though.

Yeah, accelerationists and malthusians were not my fans either. I did champagne socialism but that didn’t stop the consumerists becoming my nemesis first.

Interestingly it took me longest to reduce temperature but biodiversity was improving very early on.

Happiness was higher than I expected it to be and early game political capital was what held back my more extreme ideas like banning cars. People were mostly chill with it thanks to other things, I think massively improving the poorer countries meant globally at least people must have overall liked it.

Huh. Mostly just the consumerists and authoritarians who ended up hating me. The poorer parts of the world became more prosperous too.

What if you don’t hold it normally? Use a type of ammo from a weapon normally too long for suicide and connect something to the trigger so you can reach it, or wrap the balloons string around it.

If you watch enough true crime you can probably work out how to make your suicide look like a murder, or at the very least leave them confused for a while.

Or just don’t do it next to beach front housing

If I could be dictator for a day, climate change would be solved and so many would hate me.

What about a tool for resistance?

There usually is an alternative. I watch people richer than me, using more energy, complaining about the costs and how much they are struggling… Just don’t use all that energy then. But they won’t.

But that conversation seems to be impossible. They just say they NEED it. I don’t think they care, even the slightest inconvenience is too much.

Its not just energy, its almost every expense in modern life. Overconsumption won’t bring you happiness, working longer to buy more stuff isn’t going to improve your life.

Its a little depressing that it’s the only argument that has a chance on most people. Killing millions? Don’t care. Saving a bit of money? Ohh yeah!

So the resistance will have to move underground, literally.

That is an incredibly fancy name for hot water bottles and heated blankets.

Also nothing about this is European
