Very engaging read

Nooooo

Uuuuh. There are only a couple lagrange points, unlike the massive amount of normal satellite paths available in LEO and HEO.

We absolutely should not allow any single actor (apart from the UN, maybe) to lay claim to the precious lagrange real estate

I’m not a native English speaker, so there may be some nuance I miss out on. But as far as I can tell, the implication of what you wrote was

• “Cuba is isolated because it wants to be”
• “Doctors are fleeing Cuba in large numbers”
• “Conditions are bad in Cuba”
• “The US gets alot of doctors from abroad”

I have good knowledge on point 1, limited knowledge on points 2&4, and somewhat decent info about point 2. I’m not disputing points 2,3&4.

It’s very misleading to say that “Cuba is keeping itself isolated”. Each year the UN votes to end the embargo/isolation imposed on Cuba by the US, with the vast majority of countries voting in favour of ending the blockade each time.

In the latest vote, in November, only Israel and USA voted against ending the blockade. Ukraine abstained. 187 member states voted in favour of ending the blockade

Make no mistake, the US is what has kept Cuba unjustly isolated for the past decades. Source: https://news.un.org/en/story/2023/11/1143112

The US sees anything that could shake their narrative of the world as a threat, even when that ‘threat’ is unfounded, and they massively abuse their economic and military power around the globe to keep others in line.

Neat stuff!

This is rule 28, just $(99-28) rules to go 🎵

True, although this can be alliviated by working in a worker-owned cooperative business

It was the informativest of rules, it was the workerst of rules

You can download configuration files (wireguard preferably) from your protonvpn account in a web browser.

Open the network manager (idk what steam mode uses, this should work in desktop mode) and add a wireguard connection.

Add the private key, add the peer and its public key, add the dns. Save.

When you need it, simply connect to it like a regular network, in addition to your wifi of course.

This has served me well on Fedora Atomic workstation with KDE for years :)

I’ve been thinking of getting a hybrid inverter (rather than manually moving loads between grid power and inverter/solar power). How much did it set you back?

On your second point, could you emphasize to him how you’re taking the biggest cost for this trip, and that you’d love for him to splurge on a romantic thing for the two of you next time?

I.e. the “first round’s on me!” approach

Interesting radio interview as well

Cat is Witches against patriarchy, maybe?
