tbh where I live the air steadily got better since the revolution against our âcommunistâ authoritarian government. (only english article I could find, idk that company but the data seems correct) For a brief moment in the early 90s we even met our climate goals, just by abolishing socialism :D
Would self-hosting a Nextcloud instance locally without an internet connection be viable?
Yes, that should be no problem. Some nextcloud plugins might require a domain name and/or a https connection. If you canât use your own DNS server you can change the clients hosts-file. Iirc docker and snap versions of nextcloud will auto-generate self signed ssl certificates and you can use a reverse-proxy if they donât. (e.g. use caddy, it will automatically generate certificates) You wonât be able to update regularly, so you should only let trusted users into your network.
Idk about gitlab, but Iâm sure you can run gitea offline, if you donât need any of the fancy gitlab features. (Itâs faster too+ you can set up gitea to login with the nextcloud account.)
Websites usually use transport encryption but the password itself isnât encrypted. There are authentication schemes that wonât send plaintext passwords (by involving some kind of challenge) but they wonât work without javascript (except http digest access authentication but thats no good) and you shouldnât ask web-developers to implement them since they will find a way to fuck it up.
Germany closed down all their nuclear plants
Thatâs wrong: 3 plants are still running (probably) until the end of this year.
the end result was that they just started using more fossil fuels.
This is true, but the reason isnât the lack of alternatives but incompetent and corrupt state and federal government. They sabotaged the domestic solar sector, they made running private (roof-) solar plants unnecessarily complicated, they made building new (on-shore) wind parks basically impossible and they blocked the extension of the electrical grid. (And thats just the stuff I remember from the top of my head)
tmsu might also be interesting to you
Find should already be installed but depending on how the files are named ls
should do.
You probably want to do something similiar to this snippet:
# Create a temporary directory and save it's path
TMPD=$(mktemp -d)
# Extract the archive to that directory
7z x -o$TMPD $1
# Convert the images to PDF
img2pdf $(ls -vd $TMPD/**) -o $2
# Delete the temporary directory
rm $TMPD
doing this on Python or whatever language?
If youâre on Linux or MacOS doing this with a bash script would be the easiest imo, since there is ready-made software for all the steps.
You can even automate the downloading with e.g. wget.
On windows you could (probably) do the same with a python script (or maybe powershell idk)
Are email requirement the default for lemmy instances or it is something an operator has to choose?
That can be configured.
Itâs mostly no replies, deleted comments (why tf do people do that?!), people guessing (which isnât that bad, but why donât they disclose it?) or just pure bullshitting. (The latter I have no problem with, but maybe donât do it in threads where someone needs help?!)
Thereâs so much good content out their, but search engines seem to actively punish sites that donât have tracking, bad usability and megabytes of useless javascript.
Reminds me of ELIZA
