  • I don’t think banning meat will ever happen. Thats not really how that usually works. Though it will get more expensive. And actually currently the meat industry is heavily supported by governments to keep meat cheap enough for poorer people.

    And we won’t solve climate change just with eating insects in the same way we won’t solve social justice issues just with keeping meat prices low.

    We need to do multiple things at the same time. Finding and developing good food options, that are not as taxing at the climate as meat (especially cattle) is one good step, while doing other things against climate change. And we can work towards social justice by heavily taxing the rich, using that money to fund public goods and services mostly used by the workers.

    Eating meat vs insect based products is not the socialist hill to die on, I think. There are better ones.





  • You will have to do some work yourself (or hire someone to code the solution for you).

    If the intended use is on linux, you could also write a bash script for it. If the position in the file (as in exact number of bytes till that position) is known, then you could use dd to cut the video file in two pieces, use gpg to encrypt the second part and then probably also use dd to put both pieces together again.

    A video player like VLC should still be able to play the first part of the file (though other players might have bigger problems with such a file). To play the full file, you need to use your script to again seperate the two pieces, use gpg to decrypt the second part and put them back together.

    You can also do this in python. Doing it cross platform (Linux, Mac and Windows) will be more difficult.


  • When renovating our house we bought new room doors. Though they took weeks to be delivered and we already lived in that house without room doors (also no door for the bathroom).

    But we had loads of big cardboard pieces from furniture, so I used them and a lot of glue to build temporary doors. I added handles and used screws to fix them in the frame (I mean the big wooden beams, that are holding the actual nice doorframe in the wall).

    They mostly worked surprisingly well, holding in the frame by friction from cardboard blocks, that I glued to them. Though they opened everytime, we had an open outside door, that caught some wind
