Here he is all finished! Octopus 🐙 drawn with mixed media on buff sketchbook.
I used pen and ink, colour pencil, Posca paint pens, graphite pencil and gouache.
Pretty much a whole art shop of supplies thrown at it! 😂

Drawing of an octopus in full colour mixed media on buff paper

@mathiasx can recommend daydreaming aboard sailboats :D

I wrote an article about the need for low-carbon and #sustainable #computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.

tl;dr:

** The problem:
* By 2040 emissions from computing alone will be close to half the emissions level acceptable to keep global warming below 2°C. This growth in computing emissions is unsustainable: it would make it virtually impossible to meet the emissions warming limit.
* The emissions from production of computing devices far exceed the emissions from operating them, so even if devices are more energy efficient producing more of them will make the emissions problem worse. Therefore we must extend the useful life of our computing devices.
** The solution:
As a society we need to start treating computational resources as finite and precious, to be utilised only when necessary, and as effectively as possible. We need frugal computing: achieving the same results for less energy.
** The vision: please read the article, I'm out of characters.

TIL the https://tildeverse.org/ has some #usenet activity going on ... I had no idea ... 😌

@kensanata@octodon.social not sure I'll want to know exactly what happend, but I guess it's safe to heed your warning :D

Be a #Cyberpunk genre fan, see it slowly manifesting in real life
:blobaww: "Haha, this is so cyberpunk!"

Suddenly remembering the genre's a cautionary tale about a near future dystopia
:blobnervous: "oh heck"

Mal ne ganz andere Frage: Wer ist eigentlich politisch für das "Parkraum-Management" in #hamburg verantwortlich?

Laurens boosted:

Are your #backup’s ready and on external disks? Disconnected from your computer or phone?

If not: Please get them ready.

Laurens boosted:

Anyone know how to get out of #Ukraine? I hear there are no flights or trains. Perhaps private shuttle buses or something like that?

Specifically interested in getting from Kropyvnytskyi (Кропивни́цький) to the EU (or at least further west) somehow.

Asking for a family member.

Boosts appreciated.

@kensanata@octodon.social oh ... and mmq (refered to in said script) is a wrapper for mpv, so additional URLs neatly pile up in the play list 🤓

@kensanata@octodon.social I use this linkhandler script by Luke Smith (don't ask me about that guy ... he does fine scripting though)

.@ZelenskyyUa@twitter.com's tv address to the Russian (!) people might be the most moving speech that I've ever seen in my entire life. The whole world needs to see, understand and share this crucial Ukrainian message.

Liebe Follower: Ein übler Wochenstart ist, wenn morgens der Familiencamper geklaut ist - mit allem was drin ist und dran hängt. Bitt seid so nett und teilt das Sharepic. Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt. Danke.
