It'll be fine even at 3.0C. The IPCC report has scenarios up to 5.0C, and if you carefully read those and compare the population adversely affected to the overall population of the…

So I'll route my CI integration tests that test communication from application to database through the loadbalancer? And I'll teach the loadbalancer to talk to itself to talk to th…

They don't. It's just verboten to do it without reporting it, and if they catch you there will be Konsequenzen!

There are tons of reasons to not use an external CA. First, cost. Any CA that issues unlimited certificates will charge tons of money. Free CAs like letsencrypt do have rate limits…

No. The problem is overall resource consumption. Which is a product: people * consumption/person. Since consumption per person has a lower limit, there has to be an upper limit for…

No. Prisoners' dilemma. There are two possible answers to climate change: avoidance and preparation. Avoidance means that the world reduces its CO₂-footprint to zero or less to lim…

No. I was just explaining why copper is better in that regard, not that I would personally care that much. I do prefer stainless steel, because it is more robust, dishwasher-safe a…

Yes, but for mankind to continue, there has to be less of mankind.

Germany

Over here, your water bill has 2 components, the price of the fresh water and the price of the waste water. Waste water is at least as expensive per m³ as fresh water, sometimes mo…

Water bottles, if not cleaned properly with a soap and brush on the inside, will be coated with a bacterial "lawn". Copper prevents that. Lots of bacteria need such a lawn to propa…

11. No pets. Your pet is more harmful to the environment than your car. 12. Less or no children. All of the above, combined.

It isn't that there is no such thing as "a way to open/close transactions". It is that transactions usually break all the supposed ORM benefits like composability. Often, you canno…

Also, most ORMs make it hard or ignore the possibility of using database transactions, checkpoints, partial or full rollbacks, etc. Which might be fine for trivial queries, low wri…

There are no tropical forests in the EU. And German forests do only grow by increasing biomass of older trees, new saplings are completely eaten away by deer if not actively protec…

Forest protection alone isn't enough. If you rely on forests, you'd actually have to grow them. Which would conflict with growing human population.

Problem is, Germany is in a central location in Europe. Lots of east-west and north-south transit going through. That transit has to use the autobahn, for various reasons. One is t…

I think both groups (climate activists, surveillance-repression fascists) are separate, but the latter welcome the fact that the former gives them an acceptable excuse for more res…

Which will accelerate the trend towards far-right governments in europe, who will then roll back climate change laws.

Deutschlandtakt has nothing to do with electrification. And full electrification isn't planned for any point in time, there will (if it goes as planned) never be a fully electrifie…

Sure. I've only ever seen small-scale setups by less experienced people use YaST. Say, windows admins that do one or two Linux servers on the side.

The reasons why (afaik) people use SuSE are YaST, localisation and accessibility.

Had great experience with Mobotix cameras in internal non-internet-connected networks. There are also models that can write on SD-Cards and such. But I didn't really shop around an…

> On Windows there is a very rich permission system, and ever request goes through a whole stack of Filesystem Filter Drivers and other indirections that can log, verify or change …

Misunderstood or intentionally misapplied "wisdom" like "premature optimisation is the root of all evil". Programmer comfort, unified frameworks, higher level languages over user e…
