I am a late 30s #gay man living in lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. Happily married and with two pugs, Oscar and Stanley.
I am anxious and often depressed but try to cover it with good vibes, thot pics and bad dancing.
I consume waaay too much #PopCulture particularly #ScienceFiction #fantasy #books, #movies and #tv. Also do a fair bit of #gaming on #PS5 #Xbox and #Switch.

things dev can do now
- optimise code
- choose faster languages and runtimes, like rust [or quarkus! 😁 ]
- efficient algorithms
- faster implementations
- reduce retries and work amplification
- reduce logging
things ops can do now
- higher utilisation
- automation
- relax over-specified requirements
- archive data
- deduplicate data
- choose time and location for workloads carefully

Researchers at Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) have developed an oxygen-ion battery with a storage capacity that doesn't decrease over time, leading to an extremely long lifespan compared to other batteries.
This battery can be produced without rare metals and could be used for in large energy storage systems, e.g., to store electrical energy from renewable sources.

Researchers develop an oxygen-ion battery
Lithium-ion batteries are ubiquitous today, but that does not mean that they are the best solution for all areas of application. TU Wien has now succeeded in developing an oxygen-ion battery that has some important advantages.Science X (Tech Xplore)

I do care for the environment. Pointless data information that travels through the internet is not free, it has a carbon weight.
Every kilobyte saved correspond to an amount of CO2.
What do people achieve with that compulsion to add featured images that aren't theirs?

Prof Tim Jackson: Imagining life after Capitalism
Sustainable growth was the focus of the recent World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos, but how realistic is this goal, and what would it look like? The idea of degrowth, as a counter to the status quo of aiming for exponential growth, has also …RNZ
