@mhoye she's not wrong!
@attilakinali @stux if we were in a tornado alley, the structures would be different. Though it can be less expensive to rebuild (and build better) after initial problems. Iterating can surprisingly be much less expensive than creatimg stronger structures that are inflexible and need extensive repair after disaster
@attilakinali @stux it depends on the type of structure. Single family homes are mainly wood framed where I am (on top of concrete foundations, typically with full height basements). Inexpensive, strong enough to last 50-100 years+, and easy to alter as needs change. Multifamily dwellings tend to be more levels and reinforced concrete for internal and most external cladding (though glass is strangely common for "floor-to-ceiling" views at cost of efficiency

Everything we see online is decided by platforms' algorithms.
These algorithms promote extreme and fringe views (antivax, conspiracy, hate) in a quest for clicks.

Okay there's something really cool I've just learned. If you are continuously recording air pressure e.g. as part of your home automation setup or a weather station then you should really check the data of the last 24h.
You should be able to spot the pressure wave from the volcanic explosion in Tonga earlier today.
It reached my setup in Kaiserslautern at about 20:30.

Sun Microsystems: Write once, run everywhere!
Log4j: hello
Programmers: No, not like that
Just found out about beestat.io for #ecobee thermostats. FOSS (GPLv3) and seems to give more useful stats than ecobee's official (unfortunate) interfaces.

To bump this thread: The Swiss state has been taxing the carbon in fossil fuels since 2008 ⛽
The tax started very low, and increases every year. It is currently 120 CHF (~130 USD) per tonne CO2 💰
2/3 goes to each citizen, evenly divided, as a reduction of their health insurance! 🏥 1/3 of the tax goes into green spending.
Every country can do this, without losing economic 'competitiveness' if a tariff is applied 🗺️

#Nitter is an AGPLv3 licensed #Twitter frontend with all the features of the default site -- but more importantly -- it returns all of the freedom that Twitter's nonfree JavaScript takes away from you. Try it out! https://nitter.net

Please make sure to read this carefully before ordering a #PinePhonePro:
The #PinePhone Pro is still very much in development, and thus just won't be your daily driver smartphone upon receiving the device.
Read https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/PINE64_PinePhone_Pro_(pine64-pinephonepro) to get an idea.
I don't want to hamper your excitement, but I also don't want to see you start a rant YouTube channel because you're upset due to not reading this properly. The PPP is really cool, but it's not your new "privacy smartphone" at this point.
@staltz it would be really convenient if your activitypub account had toots/posts that referenced your blog posts so they could be boosted more directly (and bring more visibility to Manyverse). Thanks for writing them in any case

@ScottMortimer There is also this excellent blog post in response: https://staltz.com/some-people-want-to-run-their-own-servers.html :)
@thahajemnireal@mastodon.social @werwolf @xerz using XMPP & helping people onboard is getting easier with @snikket_im
There's still the question of which snikket server to use if you don't have the ability to run your own. That's something that I think Mastodon and Matrix did better: a decent default instance with effective encouragement to migrate to other smaller ones.
WhatsApp had a good twist with the "$1/year after first year" to seed the network
@danie10 I'd love to boost this, but looking at those URLs I just can't bring myself to. Any chance of a cleaned up version?
