Needed to compress a directory, and noticed that my script was lacking the ability to perform that action... so I've added a directory check [to the xz9 compress script](https://github.com/FraYoshi/fura-utils/commit/26299f31f49c7df22d5859e6aa6f49d495df5216) 💫
It should work, if you encounter problems, let me know ^^
It creates an `.xz` in case of file and `.tar.xz` in case of directory 📦

V2 of the [holder for the Solar Powered Fountain](https://qoto.org/@frayoshi/110832657222094856)
Since on the bottom part of the #fountain there are 3 suction cups, I thought of a design more dynamic and that would use less printing material.
Still have to print it, hope it will work once materialized

**Sustainable Democratic Federation (SDF)**:

1. **Democratic Representation**: The SDF would embrace the principles of representative democracy, where citizens elect leaders to make decisions on their behalf. This ensures that diverse voices are heard and accounted for in policy-making.

2. **Decentralized Regional Autonomy**: The SDF would incorporate elements of federalism, allowing regions within the federation a degree of autonomy to address localized issues while still adhering to common goals and values.

3. **Strong Environmental Regulations**: Taking cues from systems with strong regulations, the SDF would prioritize robust environmental regulations to ensure sustainable resource management, pollution control, and conservation efforts.

4. **Participatory Governance**: Drawing from socialist ideals, the SDF would encourage citizen participation through mechanisms such as participatory budgeting and community decision-making, enhancing public involvement in shaping policies.

5. **Innovation and Free Enterprise**: The SDF would recognize the importance of innovation and economic growth, incorporating aspects of mixed economies that encourage entrepreneurship and private enterprise. However, these activities would be guided by strict sustainability criteria.

6. **Long-Term Planning and Accountability**: The SDF would prioritize long-term planning, focusing on the well-being of future generations. Elected officials and institutions would be held accountable for their decisions' environmental and social impacts.

7. **International Collaboration**: The SDF would emphasize global collaboration to address planetary challenges. It would actively engage in international agreements and partnerships to tackle issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion.

8. **Technology and Education**: The SDF would invest in education and technology to empower citizens with the knowledge and tools needed to participate in a sustainable society. This would help ensure informed decision-making at all levels.

9. **Transparency and Anti-Corruption**: Learning from the pitfalls of authoritarian regimes, the SDF would prioritize transparency, accountability, and anti-corruption measures to maintain the integrity of its governance.

10. **Adaptive Governance**: The SDF would be open to adapting its policies based on scientific evidence and changing circumstances. Flexibility would be a key feature to address emerging challenges effectively.

Totalitarian Exploitative Regime (TER):

1. **Authoritarian Control**: The TER would embrace authoritarian control, concentrating power in the hands of a single ruler or a small elite. This would lead to a lack of checks and balances, limited political freedoms, and the suppression of dissent.

2. **Centralized Planning**: Taking inspiration from socialist and communist systems, the TER would attempt centralized planning, leading to inefficiencies, resource mismanagement, and a lack of innovation due to the absence of market mechanisms.

3. **Environmental Neglect**: The TER would disregard environmental concerns and prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term sustainability. This would result in overexploitation of natural resources, pollution, and environmental degradation.

4. **Lack of Accountability**: Drawing from systems with weak rule of law, the TER would lack transparency, accountability, and mechanisms to hold leaders and institutions responsible for their actions, leading to widespread corruption and abuse of power.

5. **Suppression of Education and Information**: The TER would limit access to education and information to maintain control over the population. This would hinder social progress, technological advancement, and informed decision-making.

6. **Isolationism**: The TER would adopt isolationist policies, cutting off international cooperation and disregarding global challenges such as climate change and pandemics. This would exacerbate global issues and hinder progress.

7. **Economic Exploitation**: Incorporating exploitative elements of certain economic systems, the TER would prioritize the interests of a select few, leading to extreme income inequality, poverty, and lack of social mobility.

8. **Censorship and Propaganda**: The TER would control media and communication channels, disseminating propaganda and suppressing diverse viewpoints. This would create an environment of misinformation and manipulation.

9. **Repression of Cultural Diversity**: The TER would suppress cultural diversity and promote homogeneity, stifling creativity and innovation that often arise from cross-cultural interactions.

10. **Lack of Adaptability**: The TER would resist change and innovation, leading to stagnation and an inability to address evolving societal, economic, and environmental challenges.

Just found out about #KhanAcademy, #mindBlowing!
#Amazing #scholar resources!

Just signed up, restarted studying #math, or better.. restarted it, as over a decade has passed since the last time I studied it, and noticed that I do not recall far too many things 😅

Take a look if you are into #learning like I am! :3

#waves, I too think they are one of the best answers to the energy problem ^^

What do you think? Is the #ocean the best answer to the semi-elimination of the #oil from the #energy generation process?

I personally think the answer is in the fusion reaction, but is still not ready, 2nd answer I think are either #wave or #fission.
