Logistics are something too complex. Your statement makes me think you're referring to a scenario with one source of a product and either one consumer area or several ones. In that cass, indeed, a more denser region would make it easier, but the scenario I described consists of production decentralized and closer to consumption, making logistics easier and cheaper, with fewer middlemen.

But maybe I didn't explain it all very well. I have a couple or articles bookmarked in my pc that I will link here when I have the chance.

I just hope my memory isn't playing tricks on me, because it so, it's gonna be really shameful lol.

There are a couple articles I can link when I get home. They studied a similar phenomenon in some Brazilian cities. There are several factors involved, including food losses due to distance to consumption and the fact that smaller producers tend to grow more diverse food.

If you look at land use maps, you will see that the urban areas are so small compared to the agricultural and livestock area needed to support the population. This is the biggest cause of deforestation, and population density actually makes it much worse, because it centralizes consumption and requires more logistic costs to deliver the needed food, with much higher rates of wastes. If we lived in less dense areas, perhaps we could do with local, smaller-scale agriculture instead.

Glad to be helpful.

From the juridical point of view, citing the gpl in your license is terrible (you didn't specify the version either). The best thing is to actually write everything from the gpl that you want.

I have never read much about trim before. Now I'm curious about something: if an ssd was trimmed, is all deleted data lost? Is filling an ssd with random data unnecessary if we want so safely delete something?
