Revised Key Biscayne budget takes smaller tax bite, but still up 9.9% :

The budget spells out $21 million in capital spending over 31 different projects, with about half devoted to storm water and resiliency initiatives.

“Roots: Hidden Lynchpin in Climate Resiliency of Crops”

Julia reminder us that climate resiliency critically depends on genomic variation. In rice and in general!

A quotation from Euripides:

«
Let not these things thy least concern engage;
For though thou fret, they will not mind thy rage.
Him only good and happy we may call
Who rightly useth what doth him befall.

A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:

«
History unravels gently, like an old sweater. It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always — eventually — manages to spring back into its old familiar shape. History has a habit of changing the people…

Resiliency in Distributed Systems: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/resiliency-in-distributed-systems/ ... I personally think Distributed Systems is a very interesting topic. So much, that I also wrote a Distributed Systems Protocol Simulator back in the days https://codeberg.org/snonux/vs-sim #distributedsystems #distributed #resiliency #simulator

The best part? #RegenerativeAgriculture as a #ClimateSolution doesn't require any resources aside from education. It actually reduces the labor, fossil fuels required to plow, fertilizer needs, herbicide and pesticide use, etc.

Once farmers adopt #NoTill and see the benefits, they usually go on to more and more #Permaculture solutions. Eventually adding animals like poultry and sheep that weed and fertilize for them while adding additional revenue streams for #resiliency to markets.

Let’s Architect! Resiliency in architectures
https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/architecture/lets-architect-resiliency-in-architectures/
"In this post, the authors introduce five resilience patterns. Each of these patterns comes with specific strengths and trade-offs, allowing architects to personalize their resilience strategies according to the unique requirements. By understanding these patterns, organizations can design resilient cloud architectures that deliver high availability and efficient recovery from potential disruptions."

"Renewables make up only 14% of in-state energy generation compared to a nationwide average of 25%, despite the U.S. Energy Information Administration ranking Arizona second in solar energy potential. Solar advocates blame Arizona's investor-owned electric utility companies for politically blocking renewable energy projects and for charging fees for rooftop solar that cut into homeowner incentives." #AZ #power #electricity #grid #heatwaves #resiliency

@PatrickoftheG @breadandcircuses never mind Fall, come September we're in hurricane season...😬

Ane speaking of crops, with Russia out of the grain deal (and allegedly manoeuvring to blockade the #BlackSea ?), the #wheat in Ukraine might as well have failed from a global perspective.

#Agricultural production cannot be agile (all that time to sow, grow, reap, and prepare for market) so #resiliency is difficult to build up quickly.

Definitely very concerning.

Please, plant a little #climatehope, education, and #climateaction by funding @BuildSoil !

http://buildsoil.net/ or http://ko-fi.com/buildsoil — one-time or monthly giving

http://venmo.com/buildsoil or http://paypal.me/buildsoiloffice for one-time gifts

And they’re on Benevity if your employer is on that!

And if you can’t give, please plant a tree, mulch your soil, or kill your lawn: that’s what Build Soil is about: spreading knowledge of ways to improve #resiliency by improving our local ecosystems!

On the topic of #DisruptionTolerance, #Resiliency and graceful #recovery, there is another option which can be complementary to the ones mentioned in that older thread of mine (https://mastodon.top/@lispi314/110550108308131089): #PersistentMemory applied to the operating system state like #PhantomOS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_OS) does, which would flow quite nicely from image-based systems.

Imagine your OS just coming back to exactly the state it was in within a few seconds of a power disruption glitch ending.

Years ago, Tesla put out material about their home-battery for power backups, using solar to charge a large battery (or battery set) as back-up and a means to cut down use of electricity from the larger grid. I was really interested in this idea, but Tesla became super problematic.

Good thing Anker now has an offering, apparently called Solix? Color me super interested:

Key Biscayne projects escape DeSantis veto as governor signs $116 billion budget :

DeSantis’ veto pen had far less ink this year than last when he struck out $3.1 billion in spending. He signed the budget in Fort Pierce.

Council members oppose plan to strengthen Key Biscayne’s seawalls :

The proposal has roiled owners of Key Biscayne’s priciest homes, as it could double the height of many existing seawalls.
