The process is potentially self-reinforcing as the methane is frozen or trapped in ice so after reaching some tipping point the volume/time released could increase massively.

I would not go that far as to call it undemocratic. Sure there are some deficiencies and the democratic legitimation of some political organs is clearly a bit too indirect but as you said that can be reformed (it actually had improved alrea

It's most likely representatives driven by the fear of voting against the outcome of that simple referendum. Sure it's absolutely OK technically but the whole brexit thing is still a major fuckup as nobody was remotely aware of th

I second this. Even without chatter a spinning HDD is quite noticeable while fans are not that noisy as long as you are able to keep them at moderate speeds.

It's not only the future, it's already happening. The Mirai botnet, mostly running on IoT devices, was used to perform massive DDoS attacks in 2016. This gives us a foretaste of what is to come when we can assume at least one vuln

Maybe one could just keep one emergency channel using an analog signal and make sure everyone owns a receiver (they are dirt cheap anyway).

Also pointing out existing alternatives which can work without some single big for profit company behind is a very valid counter argument to a claim that Twitter has to be saved.

You probably used Openfire, known to be a memory hog and a bit unstable. Simply go for prosody and you should be fine (ejabberd should also be OK). Some newer XEPs which you may want to have with Conversations are not supported OOTB in pros
