I read the other day about a protocol called Gemini.

https://geminiprotocol.net/

It might fit what you are looking for, if you goal is just to publish interesting content, or get the experience learning something new and different, but not for you if you want to monetize.

It is an alternate to the internet. You can self host there, also, but they have built Gemini to be unable to support applications, bots, malware etc… it goes much deeper, if you are curious, you should read, I am fascinated.

It was a little popup that opened the first time I clicked the link. It does not open on subsequent link clicks.

Hey. That link said first name last name (presumably yours) shared that document with you.

Might want to clean that up for privacy sake.

It might be.

I am surrounded by kind, decent people, but same. They don’t think about, or engage in, these sorts of thoughts, and I try. They just shrug and say their little impact, isn’t enough of an impact to try. Meanwhile, I am over here having a daily existential crisis about all the stupid packaging on my second hand jeans.

I live here.

There is no real good place to evacuate to. All of the large population centers will likely be impacted, and most of those places aren’t “large” at all. Literally nowhere to go, if we wanted to, except to the lower 48, or Canada.

The distance Alaskan cities are from anywhere else makes evacuation logistically … Challenging.

The volcano could blow tomorrow, or in 6 months. You cannot realistically evacuate and abandon your entire life for a totally indeterminate amount of time.

We had a similar eruption in 1992. It was fine. Airport was down for a day.

The only real danger is volcanic ash. The volcano is 70ish miles off the coast.

Everyone here is aware. We will all just hunker down. 3-7 days of food in the house, and water. Extra pet food. Schools and businesses will probably shut down for a few days in some towns. No driving, so the ash doesn’t get kicked back up. Tape all of our windows to keep ash out, get dog booties, cotton to stuff their ears if you have pets that have to go outside. Swim goggles for pets and people. Respirators or masks do you don’t breath it in. Might have to go a few days without electronics.

All in all, everyone I know is just annoyed this will happen in the summer, and we’ll be stuck inside. Summer is precious here, losing any of the days suck.

The far, far greater danger is the wildfire season, it’s been a very dry winter here. We always have lots of fires in the state, but this year will likely be worse, and with all the “winning” in the government right now, it is unclear what the firefighting response/capabilities will be. THAT could get plenty of people killed, and absolutely devastate out cities and individuals economic stability, which, frankly, is already not stable.
