"[#HowardJacobson] has #written and spoken about how unmoored he has felt from his country, society and fellow citizens during the brutal conflict in #Israel and #Gaza, and has attracted opprobrium for doing so; in #Howl, he explores not simply a feeling of being out of joint with the times, but of experiencing the reawakened fear of #displacement and #violence that #antisemitism provokes. He knows, one suspects, that some #readers will find this utterly enraging, not to say morally repulsive, and he confronts them head on; in Ferdinand Draxler, he creates a man who wholeheartedly believes that #7October has allowed #Jew-hatred to flourish untrammelled, who argues – to anyone who will listen, and even more to those who will not – that it has provided the alibi for #antisemites to do what they wanted to do all along.

Unsurprisingly, Howl is an immensely uncomfortable #novel; it is also, like most of #Jacobson’s work, a comic one."

[en] Cloud outages: "#Concentration is the real risk" - Prof Doug #Jacobson

For example, #DNS ... has quietly become a single point of failure ... DNS is not alone.

#Cloud outages are getting more #expensive. "#Centralization magnifies these costs."

"... concentration means that a single configuration error, routing issue or attack can ripple across much of the web."

Why cloud service outages ripple across the internet – and the economy

It makes sense for companies and organizations to outsource key internet services, but with those services in the hands of a few corporations, failures have a wide impact.

| regio-aktuell24

Wer unter innerer #Anspannung, Nervosität oder #Schlaflosigkeit leidet, sollte die Progressive #Muskelentspannung erlernen.

"Was hilft Dir, ruhiger zu werden", frage ich Kund:innen manchmal und höre meist: "#Jacobson!"

Ab September beginne ich wieder einen bezuschussbaren Kurs in #Frankfurt.

Meldet Euch gerne! 🙂

"Lernen Sie, sich bewusst zu entspannen, dann können Sie mit d. Schwierigkeiten moderner #Zeiten besser umgehen!"

Heute habe ich mit div. Einrichtungen Workshops in Progress. Muskelentspannung vereinbart - erfreulich, d. anhaltende Beliebtheit d. PME! 🙂

"In der Hektik unserer #Zeit haben wir fast vergessen, wie man das #Leben genießt. #Freude am Sonnenschein, am Gesang der Vögel, der Farbenpracht der Blumen überlassen wir in erster Linie den Dichtern. ...
Dieses Defizit des modernen Lebens scheint zumindest teilweise darauf zurückzuführen zu sein, dass eine gewisse Hingabe erforderlich ist, um Schönheit wahrzunehmen und in den Alltag einzubeziehen"

Neueste Messungen zur Freisetzung von #Methan deuten dank neuer Messmethoden darauf hin, dass man bislang den Umfang dieser Emissionen sehr unterschätzt hat. Eventuell wird sogar ca. die Hälfte aller Methan-Emissionen durch die Öl- und Gas-Industrie verursacht.

Hier eine Studie des renommierten Energiesystem-Forschers Mark Z. #Jacobson, die selbst bei konservativen Emissions-Schätzungen berechnet, dass blauer #Wasserstoff schlimmer ist als #Erdgas direkt zu verwenden:

The researchers say switching to #renewable #energy would avoid #utility #gridblackouts and #save consumers trillions of dollars. One of the main reasons for that finding is that the combustion-based #energysystems most countries rely require a lot of energy just to function. In switching to a #clean, #renewableenergy system, #Jacobson states that worldwide energy #usage would go down by 56% immediately.
