Back in 1985, Carl Sagan told Congress that continuing to burn fossil fuels will increase global temperature, cause climate change, melt glaciers and ice sheets, and cause sea level rise.

His solution: Fewer government subsidies for fossil fuels and use of renewable energy.

FYI, the #Threadiverse continues to be, well, freakin' amazing.

Using Kbin, I found a community that is actually hosted on a Lemmy instance, but I subscribed anyway, then found a post I wanted to comment on. In the comment, I wrote Markdown with a link to one of my Mastodon toots.

Kbin *automatically* created a Mastodon embed of the full toot right there! And over on the Lemmy instance, it was just basic HTML with the link based on the Markdown I'd written which is fine.

THIS STUFF IS AWESOME

We can respond to crisis with multi-layered responses. Heat waves demand emergency public health measures AND greening cities AND weatherization AND installing heat pumps AND investing in renewables and the grid to deliver them.

Also: each of those actions can address more than one goal. Cooling centers can also be literacy centers or health clinics. Weatherization's good when it's cold as well as hot. Same for heat pumps and renewables. All of it can create jobs and foster connection.

Six Flags Magic Mountain in California is building a massive canopy of solar panels over its 30-acre parking lot that will power all of the rides and offset 100% of the amusement park’s energy usage while providing shade to the cars parked beneath.

When completed, it will be California’s largest solar energy project & the world’s largest renewable energy site built by a for-profit organization.

Way to go, Six Flags!

I recently learned about a cool science experiment you can do at home. I tried it out today and it works!

Did you know you can **measure the speed of light** with a couple of marshmallows and a microwave oven?

Dilema: need new vehicle and plan to go EV. Compared with similar trims from others, a #Tesla is $10k less for a better-reviewed car with more range, better charging network, and massively better buying experience. #Musk however, sucks super hard. I'm torn on right-for-me versus right-for-the-world. What would you do?

Everyone I know who works in security has seen Some Stuff. But I've never seen a website that told users you must remove two-factor authentication.

A few months ago I asked #infosec Mastodon about what job title sounded right for the role I've been working on for my company's #security program. Thanks to all your excellent feedback (and friendly boosts from @jerry and @seb ), we ended up far from my original thoughts -- and landed on Security Manager. This is the first security-focused role at Nexamp, so by nature comes with more hats to wear than one in a mature org, but if building programs and being in the thick of the decision making is your jam -- or if you know that person -- please apply or spread the word: https://www.nexamp.com/careers/job/6565029002
