As someone who just hosts a few small markdown websites on GitHub Pages, that sounds intimidating.
Mmm I see you enjoy playing hard mode. Get the skills for a full remote office job with visa suport, then seduce some colleague with your emoji game on Slack.
Maybe you can give it a try in real life.
If you have a highly desired skill in developed countries, like medecine, engineering, highly skilled technician etc. it’s a good way to get a long term visa supported by the hiring organization. Usually those countries will advertise the professions they want next to professional visa procedures. Otherwise you can try to marry someone from there.

Top picture has as a huge artificial loan and isolated houses with big gardens are not great either. It feels like a very USA centric point of view of what is ecological. People forget or ignore the impact of ground footprint. Turning natural ground into artificialized ground for humans is the first cause of biodiversity loss. It’s better to have dense cities with reasonably tall apartment buildings and let nature or sustainable agriculture reclaim the rest. I think that’s what solar punk promotes, not the top picture.


Feathers are going to get ruffled.
