Nice! :-) I switched to fountain pens a year or two back for the same #environmental reasons.
Fountain pens write more smoothly and require less pressure than ball point pens. Also, I like the simple elegant glass bottles and paper packing the Camlin fountain pen ink comes in.
My #ISP is #BSNL, run by the Indian government. Everybody bitches about their service (sometimes without sufficient cause). But, their prices are relatively cheap and they provide static IP for 2000 INR (approx 33 USD) per year. My broadband plan costs about 1200 INR (approx 20 USD) per month.
Very sad that #riseup is using #Spamhaus. They also verify your reverse DNS entry, which my ISP won't set up for me. Last month, I raised this issue with riseup at https://user.riseup.net/ticket/810076/arunisaac@systemreboot.net , but there has been no response. A group that claims to be working for social change should really do better. I expected more from them. Is there some better way of contacting them than that ticket I raised?
Lack of transparency. Corruption and carelessness -- I just don't trust the Indian government/bureaucracy to be careful and sincere enough to keep a nuclear reactor running safely. Nuclear suppliers not willing to take liability for accidents/malfunction. Much safer renewable energy sources are available.
We shouldn't blindly head towards energy intensive American/European lifestyle. We must reduce energy consumption as well. Simply increasing energy production at any cost is not a long term solution.
We have similar problems in Tamil Nadu when there is not enough wind to power the windmills. Currently, such dubious projects as the Kudankulam nuclear power plant are underway.
I like #IndieWeb too. At this point, it seems to be primarily a developer's playground. But when more CMSs and publishing platforms support the IndieWeb #microformats, it might be more accessible for lay people. In fact, I think there already is an IndieWeb plugin for #WordPress, and even an IndieWeb native #CMS called #Known.https://withknown.com/
!cycling If you inflate your tire on a cold night to maximum pressure, will it expand in the heat of the next day, increase in pressure, and cause any damage?
Or, will the heating of the air during pumping be sufficient to ensure that the temperature difference is not that significant?
The #indieweb uses #microformats such as h-entry and h-card to facilitate inter-operation between websites. I like the idea, and am beginning to implement it on my blog. https://indieweb.org/POSSE
I notice that #gnusocial is marked up with these microformats. #hubzilla, I haven't tried yet.
