It doesn't actually matter too much. They use mostly our data, so legally I think it's ODBL too, and we can import anything genuinely useful they do.

Overture is a separate project so they can add stuff OSM doesn't want like data generated from imagery that is not checked by people. That might make Overture better in areas where osm data is sparse. They can also restrict other things only import tags they like, or merge some tags that mean similar things to make it easier for data consumers.

That's only some types of figs and one type of tiny wasp. Most figs we eat are virgin fruit.

Yes, I'm more of a novice, but have already tried multiple pattern systems as well. An expensive digital one with loads of measurements superficially similar to this. Also Luterloh system with radial coordinates, but that just sizes you from one measurement.

Luterloh gave me an oddly sloped buttseam. I always have to lengthen sleeves, the custom sized does do that for me, but I also still had to adjust other stuff. Different from a commercial pattern but do still have to do some adjusting.

As for the printing, it's the same as every other digital pattern. You either tape a whole bunch of A4 or Letter sized paper, or print in A1 or A0 roll. Freesewing is actually good at this, you can rearrange the pieces to fit whatever paper you will print on before saving as pdf.

Consider going to a tailor.

It's going to have some metadata to that effect yes, like a file index or number of parts or total extracted file size. I don't know the details, I've used them I haven't read the spec. rar is Rarlab's proprietary format so there might not even be a public spec.
They're normally all the same size except for the last part, so it's not that file 1 is just an index.

Yes, it asks for the next part if it's not in the same folder with the same name, doesn't really make a difference what it's stored on. Multipart zip and tar also exist.

Multipart archives still exist. They're now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn't lose the parts you'd already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.

Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

For fast easy machine single-serve, get a machine that takes beans. They cost about three pod-machines but they're worth it. The pod-machines are cheaper because they come with vendor lock-in for the pods, and they just profit more on those instead.

Yes, suspended weights, also spinning flywheels, hot salt, hot sand
There's options besides pumped hydro, hydrogen and batteries

Perhaps I should read Ursula's bag theory myself, because I'm not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

I like everything I've read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.

Raid5 of three disks and keep the fourth as cold spare. That's 16TB instead of 24, but you're barely using your current 8, so a spare makes more sense.

You wouldn't smell it if it was pure air. It's VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc
