Statistical surprise of the day is that only 14% of German men under 50 say they would refuse to fight for Germany. An astonishing 61% have said they are ready to fight. That matches the general impression I have, from speaking with German men, with men under 25 being the most-martial.
And it's mostly socialists refusing: the Left Party, the Green Party, and BSW from Sahra Wagenknecht. The most martial are the FDP -- whose leader, Christian Lindner, is a reserve officer -- with 74%, and the AfD with 61%. (21% of women would be willing to fight, but we have no further details, as to what else is ailing them.)
Also, 59% of the German population would like to spend more on defense, as opposed to 42% who would like to spend more on environmental stuff and a meagre 18% who think #Germany needs to pay more people more money to not-work.

so, the expected rain came alright... it's been raining all night, heavily, and still into the morning today
i can actually see looking at the ocean the fresh water is making a distinct different line of different looking water in the ocean

if you zoom in close to that picture you can see what looks like a circular area of paler, more reflective sea water, most likely that is caused by the run-off from the rain
why i wanted to show this is because you can see straight away salient property of fresh water versus salty water... it has a different refractive index, its surface is more reflective... i think this is because it's colder
the change in the weather patterns here on #madeira are a signal of something changing in the water currents of the atlantic ocean, and related to changing amounts of energy coming from the sun
ultraviolet light causes increased ice melt in the polar regions, and the fresh water is colder than the salty water, the salty water has more thermal capacity because of the dissolved salts in it
when the rate of melt exceeds a certain threshold, it will disrupt the usual flow of warm water from the gulf of mexico out to the west coast of europe, which will cause europe to get a lot colder and wetter in winter time
it's already making this place in the middle of the sea not far from africa colder, but also in the daytime, currently, something is disrupting the usual seasonal days long drizzle, and instead making more short, part day periods of heavier rain and then dry skies
at least, this was the pattern for much of the last two weeks here... if it continues within 3 hours the rain will cease
anyway, just showing the image of how the sea water looks different
i'd noticed these flatter, shinier tracks floating through the sea before and previously assumed that they were from boats, but i now think they are probably from water flows coming out of the little creeks that run out into the sea, and normally just form small channels of colder, less salty water, but with such a heavy rain it's just blowing out
funny enough, the idea of adding a batch save event function to the realy eventstore interface was something i have thought about repeatedly when implementing import
i already have an import function that you pump with a .jsonl (line structured JSON) file, like the kind that many clients have for import or exporting events, but because of thet need for auth it currently is only exposed on localhost by default
i didn't know there was a batch event message type in the protocol... no, there isn't
if auth is required or not makes no material difference, the client can simply stream them out, the "ok" replies don't have to be received before another can be pushed, it would just be used by the client to know if an event failed to be saved by the relay for some reason... there also may be rate limiting issues in this, that may or may not be documented in the nip-11
if you control the relay, and it has an admin http listener like #realy does, you can just dump the events up to it that way, it has no rate limiting and doesn't require to receive acks at all, but it also doesn't tell you on the wire whether the events were accepted
there could be a bundling extension on the EVENT message type that lets you string multiple event objects comma separated in one go, or you can just write an uploader that works with the normal event/ok cycle to make sure it all goes up, it may be a little slower but probably won't be a big deal most of the time, i mean, 2 minutes versus 10 minutes is not gonna kill you probably, especially considering you can parallelise these uploads or do something else in the meantime
