Using less energy is our only real option to slow climate change. So most of us have heard only one message throughout our lives: “Conserve energy. Because terrible things will happen if we don’t.”<br>That’s true. But I now think of it as “the stick” of climate communication - the way to get people to care about climate change based on fear and desperation.<br>I think it’s time to talk about “the carrot” - the way to get people to work toward clean energy based on hope and audacious ambition.<br>This video explains why, with help from my former colleague at Vox, Matt Yglesias.

Stefano Marinelli<p>Today I've been really busy and I'm exhausted, but I wanted to share the "gem" of the day. <br>A colleague (whom I've never spoken to before) calls me and explains that they need to connect a client's server with their management system. To communicate, the client's server needs to be reachable via telnet. I explain that I can't open telnet to the world, but if necessary, I can set up a VPN of their choice (Wireguard, OpenVPN, even Zerotier if it's helpful) and grant telnet access through the VPN. Not ideal, but better than nothing...</p><p>That said, the colleague attacks me: "Here you are, with these VPNs - don't you understand they're used to spy on us? Governments intercept all VPNs to steal our personal data." I try to clarify that I may not have explained myself well and that I don't mean using the famous commercial VPNs, but a private VPN access to allow the two machines to communicate securely. No luck: "Haven't you realized yet? Every time we open a VPN, they know and intercept us."</p><p>Frankly, I was speechless... </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/VPN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>VPN</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Security</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Misconceptions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Misconceptions</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/IT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IT</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/SysAdmin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SysAdmin</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/ITHorrorStories" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ITHorrorStories</span></a></p>
