  • The main problem here is not that toxic waste has been stored in mining tunnels.

    The main problem is that there are tons of dangerous chemicals that need to be stored somewhere. It’s all residues from incinerating waste. Once we have all these waste what do we do with it ? Is there a better option than being buried deep in mining tunnels ?

    We absolutely need to reduce the waste we produce.

    Also, everyone should have a look at what happens to mine tailings. The prices of mining leaves begins hundreds of millions of tons of toxic material containing heavy metals like mercury, cyanide of arsenic.

    The method of dealing with it is just to build a dam and store it on the surface. It contaminates the land, the water, sometimes the dam breaks and buries entire villages under toxic waste. No one really cares because most of the mining happens in third world countries, remote communities and because it is needed to feed the global consumerism way of life.















  • So far I used SweetHome3D, Onshape and Qelectrotech (for electrical) for the renovation of my house.

    However if you are planning to do some heavy renovations in your house I would advise you to get an architect to do a proper blueprint of your house and a blueprint of what your house would look like after renovation.

    It’s not necessary, it might feel like it’s extra money up front that you don’t use directly for renovation but in a big project you save so much in the long term. This is what we did and there is so many (expensive) mistakes that we avoided because we had an expert eye at the beginning of the project.




  • I think Nixos and a nas would for your need.

    This is what I’m doing, I have two laptop, one for work at my office and one at home for work/hobbies.

    I have a nixos config synced on github with all my of is configuration, package list extensions …Some of the config is specific to each laptop like the part related to the hardware and steam, games stuff only on my home computer. The rest is the config is shared and all my files synced on my NAS.

    So whenever I change something on one the change is reflected in the other. I really enjoy this setup and I’m thinking of adding my server in it too.
