That's why you take some kind of "managed hosting" where all of this is taken care of.

Oh yes, they entered it willingly, so friends and they themselves could get a nice job in the steering board after their career. There's nothing "illegal" here, only immoral, but lots of that.

The problem with nuclear energy in Germany is, that "the big four" (energy companies) have filled their pockets with sweet, sweet nuclear-power-money and have externalized all the other costs since the beginning. Insuring a nuclea

BS. If all that mining capacity is sitting in Kazakhstan they will most probably not import energy from renewables in Norway or sth. like that. Their energy mix is/was 99% fossils in 2019 [0], they can't change it that quick. [0]

See the other comment please, seems like service cost is reasonable. Vandalism and theft sure are problems, placing them in locations with either camera surveillance (bank foyers, gas stations) or 24/7 personell available might be solu

I think the cost for a defibrilator is around 3000 Euro. If you really want to, buy one (team up with your sports club, your company or some friends) and gift it to your community. They'll find a busy place to mount it.

To add to this: Even if you're not killed by Covid, infections will usually result in you being quarantined for two weeks (speaking of 2020 numbers) which created HUGE problems with DHL for example. There were simply no drivers for all
