Initially I used systemd to manage my services on my Raspberry Pi 5 (keep it simple), but I moved quickly to Docker and Docker compose (which I already was comfortable with) and it is so much better.

Why not?

We did that for a Plotly dashboard in Python. We copied the database into a read-only in-memory sqlite database (it is quite small, only a couple thousand entries) to prevent any damages outside the dashboard. The data only gets updated every couple of days. You could skip this step. Then with sqlite you can restrict what action a query can use (SELECT, JSON, etc.) and you can restrict the instructions per query to prevent denial of service. It works like a charm and is much simpler than providing a REST API. Also the user might already know SQL.

I am actually planning something similar for a task management web app I am building at the moment (additionally to providing a REST API). No need to learn another query language like in Jira.

The only viable solutions are e-fuels, which produce fuel from electricity, water and CO2. However these are usually used as distraction, because they cannot be produced at a relevant scale for a reasonable price. The hope is to just burn fossil fuels as long as possible by providing an alternative that will soon solve all the problems. Currently there are only a couple pilot plants working. The price is around 6€ to 8€ per liter and is not expected to go down significantly.

For other industries such as steel (in the form of green hydrogen) or aviation these e-fuels are the only option to decarbonize. They will pay whatever they need. Better not compete with them for this scarce resource.

Combustion engines are not getting banned. Burning fossil fuels is. That is big difference.

Thank you! Have to try that with mine 😊

TIL that you can replace the pads. My AKG headphones pads are worn out and I thought I must buy new ones. Where is the best place to do it?

This is most likely very inaccurate following what the law says. In Germany a full-time employee has the right to (must take) 20 days paid leave, however many people have 30 with just very few having the minimum of 20 (I don’t know anyone in in their 30s have this few). It is mostly for student workers or other in between jobs. The statistic instead should be based on average paid-leave taken.

Important to know when talking about relative growth:

This brought the market share of Chinese brands in Europe to a new high of 5.1 percent

But others do get excited. Thanks for sharing the link :)

I don‘t think it is a binary situation: Complete self sustainability vs. full dependence on large corporations. Rather it is a spectrum and everyone feels comfortable somewhere else on it. Also I don‘t think the ends really exist, as someone else will always have power over you (you can‘t reasonably maintain everything yourself) and you can always migrate/quit from a service. Over time your position might change. For me personally I think Tailscale is a great service and for someone just starting out I would definitely recommend it. I think a lot frustration can be avoided when you don‘t set your self-hosting goals to high at the beginning. You can always update your setup later on.

I cannot judge the merit of the paper itself, but Climate Healers seem to be a vegan focused non-profit. So they could be arguing against animal agriculture for other reasons than climate change. Which can be valid reasons as well.

I don’t know about the specifics of the ban described in the description and I am glad that you try to offer an alternative to the established communities. The more the merrier.

This would be so cool as an interactive web app

Growth has always been the biggest stopper for reducing environmental impact. Unfortunately there are a lot of countries which still want/need to grow their economy in order to have similar living standards as in Europe or North America. What Amazon demonstrated here is that it is possible to do this growth (9%) without increasing the carbon footprint (-0.4%). This unfortunately is not what everyone wants to read (including myself), but it is bitter truth of our global economy. (I know that this is a oversimplification and our planet does not care)

What’s debatable is that they don’t count the environmental impact of other companies products and their clients. I would argue it is more sensible to criticize these companies directly and may be let Amazon force them to publish the environmental impact on the product page. Of course if Amazon would care more about the environment than their bottom line they would act differently, but I don’t believe that…

Whats the worst is that they are destroying perfectly fine products. This is unacceptable and should be forbidden by law. Additionally they should get sued by the government for doing this thinking it was okay.

Well thats what backups are for, but may be start with a mirror or with unimportant stuff for at least a year ;) Also proprietary service can delete your data, too. This happens especially when you are using the generous free tier and they decide to make more money. See Evernote, Gitlab, Heroku…

Get a Steam Deck and use any Controller you want ;) (including the corresponding controller glyphs for many games)

Cool service! Is the code open source?

In Berlin there is a hybrid firetruck currently in use and the firefighter are really happy with it, only using the battery for about 90% of operations. Here is an English article about it (German ones are much more in depth):

https://www.electrive.com/2022/12/21/berlin-fire-brigade-goes-hybrid/

It is not mentioned in that article, but the firefighters really like the silence of the firetrucks. They didn’t need to yell as much and could therefore communicate much more efficiently.

I act natural around my friends and they pay me, so I dont know what the big issue is 🤷🏼‍♂️
