I am still not convinced. I am a big fan of heat pumps (especially the large one they have in Denmark), however not everyone has the luxury to choose their heating solution. Greenpeace doesn‘t make the laws which make landlords not transition away from fossil fuels.

So Greenpeace is offering the best in-class “green” natural gas product. You didn‘t name another provider, which is better. May be there is one. You can‘t really critize the best for not being even better, because there are obviously reasons for it or someone else would have already done better.

Secondly even though we we will not need that green gas infrastructure for personal heating in the longterm, because there is much better option available (the heatpump), there are certain industries which need it badly. These are the steel, chemical and aviation (in that order). Therefore it is important to bootstrap green hydrogen generation additionally to what is already being done.

At last let me emphasize that what Greenpeace is doing is not ideal. Ideally the government would follow a plan where personal natural gas heating would not be needed, because heat pumps would be installed everywhere.

Thank you for your reply. I was not aware of that. However I do think that there is a nuance between a selling natural gas product (for heating) vs. electricity produced with natural gas. Greenpeace did the former, because there was/is no way to get enough green gas at the moment. I think this is legitimate, because at the moment that’s the case for every natural gas provider. Then in the future they can transition with their already client base. To be clear Greenpeace never sold non-renewable electricity.

Nonetheless is extremely disappointing that it takes so long and I also understand if current customers feel betrayed.

Does anyone know if there is a better natural gas provider with a higher percentage of green gas in the mix?

This is simply not true. The shutdown of all nuclear plants (second attempt) has been decided by the CDU after Fukushima. The last government where the Greens were part of actually postponed the shutdown for a couple month because of the energy crisis cause by the war in Ukraine.

Germany also decided to shutdown all coal power plants until 2038. Yes, Germany has historically a lot of coal power plants, but the future is renewable. Let me remind you that my comment was in response to someone saying the oil industry started the grass roots anti-nuclear movement.

Here ist good chart of Germany‘s energy mix:

Source? Most if not all in “anti-nuclear crowd“ (in Germany) are also against the burning of fossil fuels. Instead they really like renewable energy like solar or wind. See the history of the German Green party for reference which was founded out of the anti-nuclear grass roots movement and they are also opposed to the burning of fossil fuels. I don‘t know if that‘s different in other countries.

I deactivated the SSH daemon on my VPS and only use Tailscale SSH

I am very happy with Tailscale

unattended-updates will not reboot unless configured. The system needs to reboot to patch the issue, because it is a kernel patch. None of the major distros had a patch ready.

Good example. It‘s not only about how many people take a test, but also if the test is taken multiple times. Then you are in realm of statistics.

Probably to find the true result would be to consult those earlier doctors with the diagnosis of that last doctor. They might have missed something (or not).

It is exactly what I am describing. In any test you will have false positives. Then the broader you test the more false positives you get. This was also a thing during Corona in Germany. At the start of the pandemic only people with symptoms should get tested, because with low case number and even a very good test and test procedure you can easily get more false positives than true positives. This is true for every test where true positives are rare. The math is pretty simple here.

Isn‘t autism and many other psychological conditions under and over diagnosed at the same time? A friend of mine got her diagnosis at the age of 31 (under diagnosed) and her doctor talked with her about social media bringing more people to her, which think they have autism, but don‘t (over diagnosing).

I don‘t want to talk anyone out of their diagnosis or give them doubts. As long as there are tests there will always be false negatives and positives and so if you test more it will influence the outcome.

PS: The article is probably bullshit.

Sure, no worries. For me it was the same.

It seams tempting, because Silverbullet does look nice, but unless you want to become a maintainer I would not recommend you adopting it. Every maintainer is always just one step away on losing interest. There can be external factors like job change or internal factors like another interesting project. Both you have no control over and both are totally fine, because the maintainer doesn‘t owe you anything. Also especially in web dev the next breaking update requiring a lot of rework is just around the corner.

TLDR;So try it out, may be have a look at the code, but don‘t make yourself dependent on it.

Do you know about drip? It as local non-profit cross-platform open source smartphone app and my girlfriend is a happy user for years.

There is something similar called “baby hatch” in Germany, but those are usually located at hospitals. Why the fire station? It makes no sense to me.

I am new to this space, but I think dokploy is another service of this kind: https://dokploy.com/

Has anyone experience with it?

I use Proton Authenticator on an iPhone without an account and I am satisfied

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.

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.
