@dewomser alles nur nich die moralisch bankrotten grünen bitte.

@root

some reasons:

- you aren't depressed
- you have got real life things worth bothering
- games aren't the only thing where you are in control

@iron_bug yes, i think it's much more dangerous than climate change. the problem is that waste just gets shipped to where nobody cares. which is very short sighted because even if it's far away, ecosystems don't care for that. i think we will have much bigger problems than global warming. combined it will get very ugly everywhere, sooner or later.

@huy_ngo mail needs almost no ressources, so does light http stuff, like ttrss. dns also is lightweight and you can let hurricane electric or your domain registrar handle additional DNS servers. matrix synapse is quite heavy with I/O (but they are getting much better!), maybe dendrite is better, i haven't tested that. xmpp is rather cheap on resources, at least ejabberd.
if you don't host for many people just get the cheapest "good" (not consumer) hardware you can get. lots of ECC ram, classic HDDs are fine if you have enough ram (imho). cpu isn't that relevant, i'd say get as many cores as you can.

@goo tekeli-li!

@iron_bug it's always the same for all modern problems: costs get externalized.

old batteries will get shipped to africa, while other parts of the world are strip-mined for lithium. the problem will of course come back to us, sooner or later.

every time i talk about fuel cells being a good alternative, someone comes out of the wood works and tells me that we don't have enough catalysts (platinum) for the fuel cells. while it is _exactly_ the same problem for lithium. sure, it's a common element, but it isn't easily extracted.

the same for every other technology like the stuff described here: http://dotyenergy.com/PDFs/Doty-90366-TransportFuels-ASME-ES10.pdf
always someone telling me it doesn't work because of dubious reasons and that batteries are the only way.

with such processes we could even keep the combustion engines around, meaning less waste.

alas! i fear that reason has no place in this world anymore.

@nexusplasma@troet.cafe aber der rest.. das werden ganz düstere zeiten.
