> risks of nuclear power are no religion

What about risks of rare earth mining for wind and solar? Or air transport? Or cars? Or gas and oil mining? Or hydro? Did you realize that a single hydro dam failure in China killed ~200k people back in 70's?

> this still does not make it into an option

This for sure sounds like a very rational and non-believer-like argument.

Yeah, sure:

@kirschwipfel As for decommissioning - yes, you *could* argue. But when arguing let's present *data* rather than baseless whataboutism.

@kirschwipfel

If you are a firm believer in the evil of nuclear power as many people in Germany are, I'm afraid nothing can really change you mind. You will find any detail as an excuse not to accept the data and prefer Greens/Greenpeace convenient narrative.

The fact is however that the latter is not only extremely biased but simply unscientific. And is also the main reason why Germany is currently investing in coal and gas power rather than "wind and solar" unicorn.

You cannot switch off IPv4 completely because large part of web is *not* on IPv6. AWS & friends still consider IPv6 to be a "premium feature".

What you can do is disable IPv4 in LAN and enable NAT64 and DNS64 on the router but that's a workaround.

@kirschwipfel Just enable IPv6 privacy extensions on your devices. Radvd will announce a /64 subnet and your IPv6 addresses will rotate on daily basis within this subnet. This works like a charm and is trivial to configure on Linux.

@kirschwipfel
And this is quite logical actually when you realize energy density of wind vs nuclear power:

Rampion wind farm in UK occupies area of 70 km2 (!), has 116 towers and has nominal power of just 400 MW out of which maybe 40% is really usable due to wind fluctuations.

Nearby Dungeness nuclear power plant has reactor with 615 MW nominal power usable in 95% and occupies maybe 1 km2 of land in total.

@kirschwipfel

You need a lot of energy too to mine coal, gas, oil as well as rare earth metals required for manufacture of solar panels and wind turbines.

This is all quantified already - overall CO2 intensity of wind farm is 15 gCO2e/kWh, most of which is infrastructure, while nuclear is 5 gCOe/kWh *including* infrastructure, fuel and waste management.

@rysiek Yes it's all JS libraries https://github.com/beakerbrowser/homebase

@rysiek it is and it works like a charm, except... you need a separate browser to benefit from it

There's an add on for FF but it essentially starts Beaker on DAT page

@rysiek I did vote for DAT because I like and run a whole website from homebase (dat://ssb.webcookies.pub) but seeing interest in the project being minimal I'm not very optimistic.

A pleasant surprise in Sankt Petersburg - snow!

@f2f @rf Conversations, как уже сказано

@Limax Yeah, typical English weather I'd say :) I've heard the same is in Moscow.

@resist1984 @kensanata @grimmware @rysiek Well, you can chat over raw TCP using netcat - I routinely transfer large backups this way :) wormhole just simplifies that if NAT is involved.

@resist1984 @rysiek @grimmware @kensanata Absolutely, it's not trivial to run an email server. That applies to any federated service I'm afraid.

You need to cope with spam and other abuse (phishing, malware) and after 20 years Matrix or Mastodon will be most likely just as complex as email.

Fax is really simple architecture, you just need to know other party's number. Same as in P2P.

@resist1984 @kensanata @grimmware @rysiek
If you're concerned about email privacy today a much more suitable solution would to produce a *text* PDF (as opposed to bitmap) and send over Magic Wormhole or any other P2P communication protocol abundance of which we have out there.
