If you replace a short haul flight with a ride on a train you could easily cut carbon emissions by 75% Source

If you mean an Immune escape that is not a real problem for rabies because that virus has a slow evolution as you can tell from the fact that the same vaccines that were used in the 80s are still used today. Compare that for example to flu or Covid-19 vaccines where even two year old vaccine types are considered outdated and not used anymore.

There is a limit on the spacing of the colour bands though. If you want colours then you have to hit the spots where the correct phosphors are and this limits the usable resolution.

So, i read the "Red Mars" trilogy. I also keep up with research into the Martian atmosphere, its soil and geology.

My take is that all of this is still a pipe dream as much as it was 30 years ago when we did not know many of these things.
People don't want to see just how hostile Mars is to life. They pick a couple of the most obvious problems (e.g. radiation, no liquid water, no oxygen) and then they look for the first solution that seems viable and then declare Mars somehow liveable because look we can just implement those things.

But they are completely ignoring that: none of these proposed solutions have been implemented at scale yet, at least not outside of earth' atmosphere, there are hundreds of other known problems that often just don't make it to the head lines because they don't look that interesting or threatening (example: dust is suuuuper deadly on Mars, probably even worse than moon dust) and many problems will undoubtedly only become obvious once living beings are on the surface of Mars.

I am glad that there is hard sci-fi dealing with some of these problems in very optimistic ways, because we should try to better our understanding of them and not just give up, but we also should not have any illusions about how hard this task is and that this can take centuries of work.

Bitwarden has a FOSS client app and FOSS server apps exist (though the default service is not FOSS).

Syncing 2FA keys brings the danger with it that you accidentally sync the key to the device that is used for the first factor thus making it not 2FA anymore.

If they are all installed in the same wine prefix you could back up everything in one go by archiving the ".wine" folder in your home. that will include all applications installed in wine and all settings for those applications.

if you want to separate them into one archive per app you should look into wine prefixes, otherwise you would need to identify every folder a given app created during installation and archive those together manually, which can be very tedious.
