I got a good question about server and data security. While I'm a developer by training and know my way around a server, the instance is hosted by a professional mastodon hosting provider in Germany using German data centers.

The only people with access to the server itself are the staff of the hosting provider. But of course since mastodon itself doesn't end-to-end encrypt direct messages, don't use it for sensitive communication.

If you're moving to Mastodon, put your full username + server into your Twitter bio. Mine is @[email protected] for example. Then you can use pruvisto.org/debirdify/ or fedifinder.glitch.me/ to find followers or follows that have a Mastodon username in the bio.

Mastodon (and the wider Fediverse) is absolutely popping off. I've had an account since 2017 and finally there is life! If you want to see more farm updates and discussions of #regenag follow me there! Currently @[email protected]
I want to add some nuance to this. Renewable energy can never reach the EROI of fossil fuels, we don't have enough metals to replace fossil fuel energy production. youtube.com/watch?v=MBVmnKuB… Not enough time for nuclear capacity to be built up. We need to simplify now.

Planned simplicity means everything hyperlocal. Local regenerative food production, little long-distance transport, dense local culture. Collapse enforces the same but we'll be unprepared.

We probably have 30 years to prepare using cheap energy and cheap production.

Here's why, from the tweet I replied to. Simon has quantified the challenge facing us in transiting from fossil fuels completely, and it's far more daunting than anyone previously appreciated tupa.gtk.fi/raportti/arkisto…

Just out in @Fire_MDPI ! This study has demonstrated that postfire mulching and logging significantly affect soil organic matter, phosphorous, carbonates, and C/N ratio six years after a wildfire in a pine forest of central-eastern Spain. mdpi.com/2571-6255/5/5/158

Maybe cities should only be as big as can be reasonably supplied sustainably from within the region it is located in.
