In der türkischen Provinz #Konya bedrohen immer mehr #Sinkholes die #Landwirtschaft.

Sinkende #Grundwasserpiegel, extreme #Hitze und wasserintensive Anbaumethoden beschleunigen den Einsturz von Böden. Fast 700 Krater wurden erfasst, viele Seen sind verschwunden. Bauern verlieren Felder und Einkommen.

Fachleute fordern daher weniger wasserintensive Kulturen und eine Rückkehr zur #Trockenlandwirtschaft.

If you prefer an option to cover most _every_ device on your home/lab/work network, and not just what passes through the browser, I've adapted the list, added to it, made it granular for more control, and posted the repository on #Codeberg for anyone to use.

The lists are in HOSTS file format and adaptable to desktops on any OS, and they're trivial to add to several #DNS #Sinkholes for central deployment and maintenance.

The cause of the sinkhole that formed in the city of Yashio, Saitama Prefecture, in January 2025 was corrosion in a sewer pipe, an investigation committee comprising experts said in its final report on Thursday. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/20/japan/pipe-corrosion-saitama-sinkhole/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #saitama #yashio #sinkholes
Pipe corrosion confirmed as cause of 2025 Saitama sinkhole

A committee concluded that the emergence of the sinkhole was not necessarily predictable.

A sinkhole up to about 30 meters wide remains open in the city of Yashio in Saitama Prefecture, which has marked one year after the hole formed and a truck fell into it. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/28/japan/saitama-sinkhole-one-year/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #sinkholes #saitama #yashio
Saitama sinkhole remains open a year after forming

Work to fix the hole, caused by a sewer pipe rupture underneath an intersection, is expected to take at least five to seven years to complete.
