Combating oil lobbies is extremely hard, albeit absolutely necessary, but I don’t think having the common populace hate you even more than they hate the lobbyists is a good first step.

The problem is that the common populace does not hate the lobbyists and oftentimes refuse to acknowledge that they even exist. If you do anything at all, you will end up with a massive comment-thread on every social media full of boomers and right-wingers calling for your head to be detached from your body asap.

The rest of your comment is telling me that you don't live in Denmark or at least don't pay attention to danish politics. Our government is a joke. The Social Democrats are right wingers. Everything is being privatized. Public transportation sucks. Solar panels have so much bureaucracy attached to them that it makes no sense to ever bother with it, both at a local and global scale, and often doesn't end up netting you any profit because taxes. Windmill projects can be vetoed by churches within some distance (I forget the specifics, but this means that PRIESTS have final say over windmill projects in most of the country, and golly gee do they use it) and aren't ever built where they are most useful because that might lower property values on the west coast and we can't have that. Our fjords are dead and we're shooting the seals for eating the last remaining fish instead of blaming the trawlers that overfished in the first place. Every single fucking attempt this country makes in the right direction has some boomer cunt stir up a storm on social media about how the latest railway expansion personally shot their dog and raped their cat and nothing short of equal backlash will be enough to shut them up because the sitting government listens to them and not us.

Denmark is not doing okay, we're on the same downward spiral as everyone else. We just started off better due to actual social policy in the 60s, so it might seem like we're ahead of the curve, but we're headed for the same climate hell. Every month is a record month for our climate and nobody cares.

We've been asking nicely for decades and very little gets done. Historically speaking: if you want something, you have to take it.

I wish Denmark had any active presence of these groups. XR has a presence but hasn't done anything in years. People here just don't care

That still wouldn't get past your firewall

All of my services run on LXC containers. Some files and configs are backed up to NAS and offsite. The containers are snapshotted in their entirety before I do any work on them. A snapshot takes 5 seconds to make and causes no downtime. If I regret a change or mess it up, I can restore the snapshot in under a minute at the cost of some seconds of downtime.

My only non-container machines are my desktop (doesn't count), my NAS and the Hypervisor. The Hypervisor is very clean and wouldn't be much fuss to reinstall and the NAS is literally just Debian with NFS. All of these have a regular rsync which runs to backup the important files.

By having it be a container

Many booted vehicles get towed away.

The alternative is that the 350 dollar fine becomes a cost-of-doing-business for those who can afford it unless the fine is changed to be income% based and the violators are ruthlessly hunted through the legal system. NYC definitely can ruthlessly hunt people legally, but I'm not sure it could do it competently. Booting and towing the violators seem a simple and cheap solution by comparison.

This is still relying on the bot being nice enough to tell you that it's a bot; it could just not.

It’d be pretty fun to set up n crypto miners to come on incrementally as they become the best use of generated power.

If you're more altruistically inclined, you could run BOINC https://boinc.berkeley.edu/

This system is not perfect but because it uses the name of the image that e621 has created, it's trivial to check for duplicates unless the image source is from outside of e6 of which there are a few.

If I'm browsing e6 and I find an interesting artist, I just make a bookmark and come back later to scrape everything I like.

Sorry I got upset about this- I've thought about this conversation way too much and have been forced to come to terms with that I'm just unreasonable defensive about something I don't actually care about.

I also lied in a way; I know Pixels can take better pictures than the one I took if you put it on a stable tripod and I didn't do that. Defensive monkey-brain just thought it was a really good point to make since I had the picture, even if it was disingenuous.

Sorry, man
