Put a (Deciso or other) opnsense router in front of everything and use that to control exactly what can talk to what and what can talk to the outside world.

Do whatever we had in the early 90's before NCLBA. I got a perfect 800 on the SAT-I math section without studying or any prep or coaching thanks somewhat to AP Calculus BC (5 on that test also, also without studying). (Anecdotal sample size of 1, sure.)

One downside is they are huge pills (500 mg), and a beneficial effect typically requires taking more than 1 g/day.

That's ineffective action to enable the industry to continue rather than ending it and doing something less dangerous that won't kill millions. Not all motion is progress :rocking horse photo here: - One of Meta's "motivational" posters

There's a word for it: anthropocentrism. And another apt aphorism: arrogance.

Human beings are the most dangerous, potentially-violent, and destructive animal this planet has ever known... and far more dangerous in larger groups. None of us is as dumb as all of us.

TL;DR - The drones sent by the UFOs did it in the drawing room with the candlestick.

The real story is animal ag creates the conditions for selection for more virulent pandemic viruses (and antibiotic resistant bacteria through overuse of the chemically-identical antibiotics given to humans) and yet we don't take the actions necessary to prevent them.

The tone deafness is in the silent suffering of millions while there are selective cries of foul by the establishment enablers. Neither are good, but no one is crying for the millions because the rich have made their bed.

Yes. And it's not money that is the root of all evil but the greed of a small number of grotesquely rich few to the detriment and suffering of society as a whole. A poor society cannot survive and sustain itself in misery and lacking of basic human dignity like healthcare.

You build a data center close to large reserves that would otherwise be flared or (gasp) vented. You get yourself some rebuilt LM2500's to power it. There's negligible added GHG or carbon footprint if it was otherwise going to waste. Vented methane is much worse than flaring it.

Maybe if they didn't kill people for profit, they wouldn't need to hide in the shadows like cowards.
