The discussions on Lemmy were exactly what made me try out Linux, and now I'm an avid Linux'er. +1 for Linux.

 

Germany is feeling one of the first consequences of climate change - regular catastrophic floodings. One of the last floodings was the one in Ahrtal - here's a report about that one: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jul/13/floods-then-and-now-photographs-germany-ahr-valley-flooding-disaster-july-2021

Hopefully events like these make more people think twice about which party to vote for!

I don't have a master device as all. The house is from the 70's, and all our radiators were only manually adjustable valves (turn from 0 to 5). The wireless system just replaced having to hand-turn every radiator on and off daily. No master device was present at all.

Well, it doesn't have one, I'm currently using Honeywell devices which communicate wirelessly.

That seems to be it. Thanks. Too bad that doesn't seem usable without extensive wiring and is thus only an option for newly constructed houses.

Given that its a picture from the US, I'd suspect Fahrenheit rather than Celsius.

 

Hi everyone,

would anyone know what kind of device that is? Is it an AC remote? A humidity sensor? An air quality measurement? Or just a digital temperature sensor?

The picture is from the wall of a newly built house in Arkansas, so I suspect it has to do something with "smart home".

Thanks for your help!

Cheers, Temperche

Would need human curation to select the best websites in each field.

 

I found that this video gives a nice overview about the current state of recycling opportunities for older solar panels. Things are looking pretty good!

 

This German video showcases nicely the consequences of climate change. Why people don't realize worldwide that we need to reduce CO2 NOW to prevent it from getting even worse is an open question.

The good afterlife is only available to them if they have been "good people" while alive, and dying early is not being a "good person". Also, after their death, they supposedly get "judged", and everybody is going to worry about the X number of "sins" that they did during their life that might end them up in hell.
