>At this point in time the world’s amount of drinkable water was at an all time low, and population kept doubling every 50 years like it had steadily done for 2000 years prior.

>He sends me a link and I know what it’s going to be. He sort of dragged me kicking and screaming into the MLP fandom a while back. It was more of a return than a first exposure, since I had played <em>so</em> many games with those pony toys as a child, but it was still something I wouldn’t have been able to hold on to were it not for him. That’s... uh... about all he’s ever done for me. Which is awesome, just doesn’t sound very good on paper. I think he helped with the rent once. I don’t usually ask for help from anyone, except for food of course that totally doesn’t count.

>Is the machine running something like Debian, I presume?
It's running a Ubuntu-based OS (Ubuntu=Debian-based). (BTW, CentOS=Red Hat-based and openSUSE=previously SUSE Linux.) I wish I had a faster upload speed; it's maybe painful sometimes. Total international Internet bandwidth as of late 2023 = 152 terabytes per second https://blog.telegeography.com/total-international-bandwidth-now-stands-at-1217-tbps and submarine cables can carry tens or hundreds of gigabytes per second. (Part of the etymology of "marine" is the Latin noun "mare", which means "sea".)
