As storms sweep across the U.S., let’s remember: nature’s fury is a reminder of our fragility. In Tokyo, we’ve learned to adapt, but the question remains—how do we prepare for the unpredictable? #Resilience #ClimateChange

Red states moving on #cleanenergy

#Florida added more #solar in 2024 than any other state - except Texas.

FL also added more rooftop residential solar than any other state but CA.
True for last 5 years.

Industry expects FL will stay #2 in solar for both in 2025 installations.

FL law forbids "climate change" in state policies - but #extremeweather is pounding state, so people want resilient power anyway.

After you hold this in your hand, you understand what's a difference between clued in EUD from CN and Open Source hardware. Need to build firmware for this and leave distro dependencies behind.

As the storm system sweeps across the US, it’s a stark reminder of our vulnerability. Nature doesn’t care about our plans. Let’s rethink our infrastructure and resilience strategies before the next disaster hits. #ClimateChange #Resilience

As the storm system sweeps across the US, it’s a stark reminder: nature doesn’t care about our plans. Are we prepared for the chaos that follows? #Resilience #ClimateChange

Where's the Resilience?

Look for the humans.

Nothing makes my day like a great post incident review!!!

And that's better than any metric you can shake a stick at.

My daughter is a PhD student in psychology and she was explaining the controversy around social emotional learning (SEL).

Apparently it is unliked by conservatives because it encourages everyone to have their own voice and have their truths be witnessed and seen by their classmates and the teachers, and vice versa.

Which, these stupid people say, encourages kids to believe they are trans. So no good. We can't have people sharing emotions.

As a coincidence I got to a part of Allison Pugh's book that talks about SEL as a way to cope with the demands of data collection and procedures that surround teachers. The effort to squash SEL is fought by more SEL.

It made me think that the tech industry is sorely lacking in SEL. Maybe I'll try to slip an exercise in during our next Reliability Matters session.

Still Standing

For anyone overcoming or for those who have survived any form of hell. I especially think of my Trans friends right now. One of my good friends has a son in Texas who is being traumatized. :*(

"That feeling of being terrified is your invitation to create change."

~ Allyson Felix

This is the point: "“Instead of teaching people to dodge stones that we have thrown at them, it would be better not to throw stones from the very beginning,” says Roman Zviagintsev, an educational-equality researcher at the University of Vienna."

Some folks standing out in front of the post office today 'demonstrating' in support of federal workers (holding up thank-you signs to the postal workers and talking to passersby). We gave 'em a thumbs up. When I let them know I'd called my senators to urge them to stop the carnage, they gave me a thumbs up. It was a very thumbs-uppy exchange.

Oh, and talked to a neighbor about sharing information on increasing solar capacity in the neighborhood.

Misinformation is a threat to society and the functioning of democracies worldwide. Psychological booster shots — real world interventions — targeting memory, increase long-term resistance against misinformation.

With the increasing economic damage caused by the US Administration, the risk of a War of Distraction increases dramatically. There have already been dozens of overt threats to #Canada 's #Sovereignty, and actual fiscal assaults to its economy.

Now that the American financial markets are diving, a switch to diversionary foreign policy is all but inevitable.

It's time to get ready by practicing some of the #Resilience tactics mentioned here.

When it comes to personal growth and mental well-being, emotional sobriety is often overlooked despite its profound impact. Originally rooted in addiction recovery, this concept extends far beyond substance use, shaping the way we handle emotions in everyday life.
