I'm not that worried. My flat is heated by a gas heater, that is supplied by a tank somewhere outside. That thing only has to be filled up occasionally (idk how often, maybe once a year or so?), so i'm usually just paying for the

I didn't even know it existed until now, but i already found some interesting "awesome" list. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted This is exactly what i was searching a few weeks ago

I actually grew up with esoterics due to my mom. The major problem is, that they don't accept facts that are verifiable by scientific means. They think everything is subjective and therefore everything you can think of is somehow true.

Idk about your country, but we don't teach children "fear god or burn in hell" or "what would Jesus do", we tend to teach young children not to be dicks to each other and not to do dumb stuff. Most of our children

Similar rules existed long before that. Humans aren't that dumb.

> there is an almost patriotic attitude towards coal plants As a German, i'm wondering where you got that idea from... Because pretty much every poll i know of, is in support of turning off coal plants.

Depending on your requirements, you may be able to do it with a framework of your choice, a simple crawler and Elasticsearch. I'm basically doing just that for my little side project with Symfony + DomCrawler + Elastic. But i'm on

I once worked for a company, where the gps platform had multiple time related problems. This list pretty much sums it all up.

"Putin wahl": First result is a marketplace in Russian. Everything else on the first page seems to be German + 1 Austrian, and they're quite critical, of course. RT and the other Russian propaganda pages only show up at page

They are. Their news section only has media that is state approved. They probably don't even have much of a choice, if they don't want to be shut down...

Not really. They may filter some stuff, if it is outright illegal and has caused enough outrage or someone complains about copyright. And if you have an account there, they'll try and give you results you most likely want to read. Whic

I'm in Germany. I simply searched for "Ukraine" and set the result language to "German". The first two results are from "Russia Today" and "News-Front", both well known for skewing facts or outri

Google simply shows you what it thinks you want to see, as long as nobody (with money) complains. Yandex shows you what the Russian state wants you to see. And they aren't even subtle.

I like PHP for its simple deployment. Symfony has some interesting concepts with the adoption of Stimulus via their UX packages. But their ORM and Queue handlers are a bit annoying. Or maybe i'm just too dumb for that, because i'm

Can you clarify? They may be biased to the German point of view. Just like any other news agency in other countries. But other than that, they're as neutral as humans can be. Of course, Russia and Turkey aren't very fond of them.

I want to add DW (Deutsche Welle) and Reuters. They're considered neutral by normal people. Reporting is "matter of fact" style and if they give an opinion on anything, they will clearly mark it as "opinion" in the

Idk what the exact differences are. I only know, that newer buildings are already required to have proper insulation, so for those that are built or (properly) renovated in, idk maybe the last 20 years or so, should be fine. But we also hav

Yet another one, who thinks it's about electricity. We don't have much of a problem with that, since gas only makes up about 10% of the energy mix. About 75% of all households in Germany use gas and oil for heating. Your magic nuc

> Like how dumb can you be? Well, several of those countries are using Russian designed nuclear reactors, where only Russian fuel is authorized to use. Why did they not change that in the last.. idk.. 30 years or so?

If trolls don't get moderated away, then they'll inevitably take over the discussion, while driving away legitimate readers. You can see the result in the comment sections of certain media outlets or social media. Simply ignoring

I'm happy to see Ukraine become a candidate for EU membership. Let's hope they manage to comply to the requirements in a short time. Putin also seems to become more insane by the day. I wouldn't be surprised if he decided to

Maybe that Google News thing is country specific? Here in Germany it's somewhat balanced. Yes, there is trash like the BILD, but there's also more reliable ones like Spiegel, NDR or Süddeutsche. What's more annoying are the c

Very unlikely, because the stuff in the vaccines doesn't stay around for very long. Monkeypox isn't exactly new. It is around for several decades, with the occasional outbreak. Pretty much every outbreak is linked to Africa. It&#x
