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 planet, you'll see that mankind will not end from

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 the autoscaling web backends it needs to talk to bec

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 that we would frequently hit with autoscaling environments,

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 the sustainable number of people on the planet. Since

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 limit global warming or even to revert it. Preparation mea

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 and cheaper.

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

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 more than double. If you are using rain water, you save on the

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 propagate, only some can multiply without a substrate.

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 cannot even method-chain transactions like fo

by c00lio 3y ago
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 write load and unimportant data. But for anything moderately im

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 protected.

by c00lio 3y ago
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 the EU: forcing them to use railway loading (such as in Switz

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 restrictive laws, more control, more surveilance.

by c00lio 3y ago
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 electrified railway network. They are planning to either shut dow

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.

by c00lio 3y ago
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 and compare, don't know how that supplier was picked

Nope. Overseas offices in those regions still get attacked from the same locations in "the East". There is only a small local component, e.g. because some local ISPs filter SMTP on external gateways, but not internally, e.g. in So

Of course. Attributing attacks properly is extremely hard, if not impossible. It is far too easy to fool the used attribution methods.
28.
by c00lio 3y ago
Because attribution of cyber-attacks is a guessing game. One that is easily manipulated. Together with wide-open networks, shitty endpoint security and missing abuse handling in Eastern countries, they could be originators or proxies for an

Each bitcoin is identified by a block assigning it to a key. Keys are not guaranteed to be unique, with enough guesses you can duplicate one (if you have some time before the heat death of the universe or so) and maybe win the lottery (i.e.
