“I can tell you that I tried, that even though it felt hopeless, still if there was any chance left then I wasn’t going to quit. I can tell you that this is why we always took the train, why I pestered politicians, why we changed what we ate, why I got myself arrested that time.“ Video https://youtu.be/OePbsWVW8nY Text: https://medium.com/@stuartcapstick/a-letter-to-my-kids-4011845ff98b.

Highlights of the #Green #tech #Hackathon are here! :: #38C3 :: to inspire your imagination& invite you to join& contribute in reducing the harmful #environmental impact of digital technologies, towards #climate #justice :: https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/celebrating-green-tech-hackathon-results/ & Matrix room : https://matrix.to/#/#green-tech-hackathon-2024:matrix.org

There must be a German word for feeling simultaneously overwhelmed by options & having huge FOMO about all that I’ve missed already, & will miss again because I can’t be at 3-4 places at the same time!! Specifically about #38C3 but also about life in general… I’m trying to be kind to myself about that… How’s your #Day4 going?

Today at #38C3 Stage #YELL 14:42 :: we will talk about #RIPE database, #whois protocol, #BGP security, #ASN #policy , #routing #registry , #RPSL , #RPKI , & other #Internet #infrastructure topics (with thanks to #xkcd who has an illustration for every occasion) https://events.ccc.de/congress/2024/hub/en/event/the-whois-protocol-for-internet-routing-policy-or-how-plaintext-retrieved-over-tcp-43-ends-up-in-router-configurations/

The only sure place & time to see me at #38c3 is Stage YELL / #Day3 at 14:45, when I am giving a talk (with my colleague from @ripencc ) about #RIPE #whois #BGP #security #RPKI #IPv6 #IPv4

Other than that: Tea-house, Botanical Garden, cycling together...

& let's talk about #climate #justice #ecocide #sustainability #NVC #green #tech #hackathon #stroopwafels #diversity #DEI #JEDI #squirrels #LikaLodge

@vaurora IMO we have reached hard physical limits 50 years ago, at least . Possibly 500 years ago. Planetary boundaries have been breached in many aspects already. We have to change everything, all at once. But that’s a harsh message & not constructive as such - while also a tautology. My critique of Degrowth is that it’s not radical enough!

@vaurora “breaking the power of fossil fuels” is what I can agree on! The anarchist in me also calls for “breaking the power of nation state governments” ! https://labs.ripe.net/author/becha/ripe-community-resilience-every-society-has-the-internet-they-deserve/ dreaming of : “society with a modest standard of living,conservative of natural resources, with a low constant fertility rate& a political life based upon consent;a society that has made a successful adaptation to its environment& has learned to live without destroying itself or the people next door”

This is, indeed, the problem description — but there are underlying causes that #degrowth is trying to address @vaurora : > efforts to increase efficiency or limit growth by themselves result in using MORE energy at the global scale< = a) so far! ; b) … unless we change the values, the attitudes, the goals of societies -> towards sufficiency, ecology, equality, solidarity… // of course, this is the hard part! So idealistic that verges on fantasy! But we must dream of *it* first!

@vaurora “organizations that limit their energy use are at a competitive disadvantage with those that do not.” Only if they are competing within the current values system!! Instruments to change this system are many : on country level : 1) stopping subsidies for fossil fuels ; 2) introducing “true cost” for the damages externalused onto the population & society (pollution, ecocide) ; 3) other national regulations that support “limitation” directly & indirectly

@vaurora hydrogen - while not my favorite either - and only part of the solution that must include total reduction of energy use - is apparently counted on by the Dutch government: https://mastodon.energy/@Sustainable2050/113635317526629538

#GetFediHired

Join global initiative by “the Growth Kills” & “Scientist Rebellion” collectives : a campaign , demanding :
1) A drastic reduction in resource consumption to stay within planetary boundaries.
2) An economy focused on the well-being of all, prioritising people and the planet over unchecked growth for the benefit of a few.
3) The creation of citizen assemblies selected by lottery to determine concrete steps for a transformative socio-economic shift
