Ruinous EdTech

@neil_selwyn Hi Neil, I have been looking forwards to this book for a while now, keen to dig in. Are you aware that a 'E-Book' purchase of 'Digital Degrowth' on Wiley.com does not actually result in the ability to download an epub file? Wiley seems to suggests that to read a book one needs a […]

[Technical remote server question / shop talk. NAT, remote access, SSH] I've lost access to the 4g networked #wilderland remote server (a repurposed Samsung A40, powered by solar panels) out in the West of Ireland. The web-server and system itself is up an running, but I lost #ssh connection […]

The biggest scandal in AI energy usage right now deserves to be the xAI data center running on 35 methane gas turbines that don't need air permits because they are "temporary" and don't have catalytic reduction pollution controls installed because... they just didn't bother? […]

[Virtual Colocation (VCO)] Learned about Virtual Colocation (VCO) today, by connecting with a very kind person on the #postmarketos support channel. This collocation proposes trading donated access to a devices resources for a free VPS access. This is seemingly used for file mirroring hosting […]

I really never wanted to have to address AI/GenAI/AGI bullshit in my research, but it has become impossible to avoid, especially in the #techno-optimist landscape of #irish #edtech and Higher Ed #he. https://thecon.ai/ #theaicon has been a beacon of critical hope on the horizon, and it is very […]

A day of learning #meshtastic and having good fun reading the stats, mqqt possibilities, and digital mapping, I'm just wondering if meshtastic is the #5g of #aprs Still, getting an applied understanding of #radio #frequencies #rf is eye opening. Lots more to learn :)
