On The Beach was adapted into a good movie in 1959

Climate change affects power generators.

When rivers dry up, it obviously affects hydroelectric generators.

But it also affects nuclear power, because they’re dependent on a constant source of cool water. If a river water level drops below the nuclear power plant’s water intake pipe, the plant has to shut down because it can’t cool the nuclear reactor vessel

I remember the good old days of Usenet before it was overrun by spam.

Lemmy feels similarly vulnerable because the mods and admins are human, but I feel like we’re flying under the radar only because we’re not big.

I mean sure, the Fediverse has defenses, such as defederation, and networking tools are much better than they were back in those days.

I’m not technical enough to know where the vulnerabilities are, but I still fear that determined, well resourced attackers could still make it unusable.

That’s a big “if” but one can dream…

I can’t find any such /c

Maybe you speakest the truth.

Fuck I’m old.

Never underestimate the fury of a sore loser.
