  • I live adjacent to national forest and the forest itself is pretty much the same on public and private land. When people around here clear their land they basically break even or have to pay to get rid of the trees because, shocker, saw mills for lumber aren’t setup to process oak/maple/hickory. So it’s either pulpwood, or truly prize specimens (which are rare) get sold to smaller processors as like “bespoke” trees for making furniture.

    Our softwood stands come nowhere close to competing with Canada and the southern states in terms of tree size and number, so even if you do have loblolly (or whatever) it’s not economic to harvest. I mean, you make a little bit, but it’s laughable. It’s only worth it if you are going to clear the land anyway for development.

    So cutting a national forest to compete with Canada wouldn’t even work in the most bare naked capitalist, Looten Plunder-ass sense.

    Hiring an actual company is way too complex. If they wanted to fake this they would have some intern from Bob Jones University use his personal Gemini account. The fact it hasn’t been tied to some crypto-scam or hawking a collectible geegaw is pretty good evidence the admin isn’t involved.




  • If you pick a FOSS license then your project is FOSS. The number of developers doesn’t matter.

    I moved all my (meager bullshit) personal projects to Codeberg awhile ago. My stuff was already open source, but I did explicitly add some license files I neglected to add before just to make it clear. So far so good.

    Before you archive your Github repos make sure to update them with one last commit explaining that the repo has moved to somewhere else (and potentially why). Once you lock the repo you can’t make changes. If you straight-up delete them then this isn’t an issue.









  • I’ve actually been there. This is hilarious, but the serious side is that their county doesn’t have the money to spend on this kind of shit.

    When people say the USA doesn’t have “real poverty” I always think of the two barefoot kids I saw carrying buckets to the creek. Or the partially collapsed rat’s nest/lean-to “cabin” that I was sure had been abandoned for decades, but then had smoke coming from the chimney in winter. Half the walls were plastic tarp and scrap metal. That’s Adams County.

    The town of Portsmouth is right next door in Scioto County, and it was ground zero for the opioid epidemic in the USA. The first pill mill was right there. Last time I was there on any sheltered stretch of the river you could find addicts living in tents. The librarians carry Narcan.

    But they raid Afroman’s house looking for weed.
