    @cowanon

    Unless we are talking about a burst well beyond anything that has occured in millions of years we will be well protected by the earth's natural defences. The risk is more to electronic infrastructure than to humans. Though I wouldnt want to be flying in a plane at high lattitudes when that happens thats for sure.

    @se7en Solar storms are basically the earth being bombarded with radiation, so much so that when you fly in a plane you recieve a much greater dose of radiation than you would in, say, an x-ray machine. Even more so during solar maximums and less during solar minimums.

    This radioactivity effects the percentage of radioactive paricles in the air. We can measure the air at any time and get an idea of the solar activity based on the concentrations of certain radioactive atoms.

    As such we can use techniques similar to radioactive carbon dating in order to look at layers in ice or dirt to measure their radioactivity and extrapolate the solar activity at the time the deposit was created.

    @se7en Sort of... In the terms of solar activity, absolutely. Being "overdue" is a bit of a statistical fallacy. If i flipped a 100 coins and they are all heads you might say "we are overdue for a tails" yet the chance of a tails coming up on the next flip is the same as it is on any other flip.

    When we talk about the sun what matters is the minimums and maximus. They tend to cycle in semi-predictable ways. Each cycle will be slightly more or less active than the last but generally you wont have low activity that just suddenly errupts into a lot of activity. It goes through several cycles of slowly increasing or decreasing. I attached a diagram to show you the solar cycles historically.

    Right now as you can see we are in a minimum. So its a pretty sure bet we can say that we are safe from such an event for at least 30 - 50 years. At which point we may be at another maximum and then there is some risk of such an event. But it has nothing to do with being "overdue"

    As for earthquakes, there is some validity to being overdue in that case. Faults that go long periods without a quake but are otherwise active regions will have MUCH bigger quakes when they occur. Other active faults that have quakes often tend to have much smaller quakes consistently and are at low risk for massive quakes despite their high activity. So in this case the whole "overdue" argument may have some validity. But as for the idea of california sinking into the ocean, well thats just bullox, but we may have a pretty massive quake, thats possible, its something we have a hard time predicting though.

    @se7en Oh, you meant Carrington Event, lol. No as far as solar storms go this one is pretty minor. We are in a solar minimum so nothing major like that is likely to happen for many decades.

    @cj

    Actually when we considered our policy at QOTO this is one point we considered. IT turned out to be untrue.

    Most importantly, no, no one can boost a post from GAB and have that post viewable on an instance that blocks gab. If gab is blocked then boosts of gab will also be blocked even if the instance boosting it is not blocked. So this simply isnt true.

    More importantly none of our users actively boost or support users from GAB. In the years I've been running QOTO I have never seen a single boost or interaction in a positive way with a single GAB user.

    You have to understand our stance goes beyond just the fact that a user has the freedom to see the reality of what goes on in the internet rather than burying our head int he sand and pretending it doesnt exist. We beleive evil/racism/fascism in darkness flourishes and it dies in the light. Defederating such instances forces those instances into an echochamber state where they are no longer attacked for holding disgusting views but instead all praise eachother and stroke their egos. By remaining federated and letting their message be public (and thus challenged by QOTO users) is the only way to combat such messages and prevent the causes from growing.

    We learned our lessons from history and we wont repeat them, we will need let fascism and hate thrive again by ignoring it and walking away.

    @mandlebro I've been doing math my whole life. I'm halve decent, invented some stuff, learned some really advanced concepts. But the way math is worded has always been the biggest thing that holds me back. I spend more time trying to figure out what they are saying than actually learning concepts (which is usually easy by comparison.

    Math books be like this. Stared at this a long time before I realized it was just basically saying that the product of a matrix with its inverse is the identity. Lol why

    @crackurbones thats so hard, gonna have to go with Fundamentals of Electric Circuits by Charles Alexander. Mostly because I still remember reading it and it was the first time in my life AC/RF electronics design finally made sense and I was struggling to learn it for years before that from simpler approaches.

    @cowanon I can only speak for QOTO, I am an advanced Linux user, we have several others on our instance. Not sure if we are the best choice but we are pretty eager to help, at least i am. We also have a discourse forum as an alternative medium.
