soo, apparently I'm not really happy being an employee. someone caring to share experiences about being self employed in IT in europe? i have some ideas floating in my head for products, but am not really sure if i should invest in it (time & money)..

@tzerenij ..and now in "historically bad ideas"

@Shiroyasha i most often only read about the success of projects and am a bit demotivated because the fuckups are seldom reported. so, thanks for shaing that bit 🙂

another one for the lulz:

"we all need an internet where people, not profits, come first."

i guess thats why mitchell baker et al needs all that money. i mean, she is "a people" 💁

transmutation for nuclear waste is supposedly too expensive for germany.

the paper states that it'll cost 500-1000 billion euros for R&D and doing it.

the amount for the "rescue" of fucking banks in '08 was 500 billion.

amazing reasoning. guess they should get the nobel prize for economic sciences.

@Josefine kreditkarte?

@AmpBenzScientist locked down as in security? i'm not sure that a system with the complete freedesktop.org shebang can be secure. the stuff seems at least as brittle as windows, so many layers, so many dependencies. also, i like to understand what's happening on my system, i can't with most distributions as it's all magick happening all the time.

observation: setting up a slackware install is initially more work, but afterwards it is nearly maintenance free. some recompiling of additional packages now and then, but it's not that much, even with -current.

the ubuntu installation i have is a raging dumpster fire in comparison.

@pendragon no, i like it and now at least another person who does 🙂

@iankenway off topic: i first read "sharting data" 🤦‍♀️

@Shiroyasha the lowtechmagazine articles all have pretty nice ideas, like compressed air power storage instead of batteries: https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2018/05/ditch-the-batteries-off-grid-compressed-air-energy-storage.html

(link to their solar powered website as the main one seems to be down)

@Shiroyasha i think i've seen a picture you've posted of it :)

i've been thinking about building a kind-of automated greenhouse (one with a back-wall like described here, though with a few extra tech shenanigans: https://www.lowtechmagazine.com/2015/12/reinventing-the-greenhouse.html ), but too many things to do at the moment 🤷

@Shiroyasha sounds like a fully automated grow house 💁
