  • You should really just do this without any web application. Just use a background shell script that does the resizing automatically on any image file that you dump into a certain folder. I have similar stuff set up for naming and sorting based on geo location data.

    You can even make this work for mobile by having the folder that the script runs on synced to your phone. You take a pic on your phone, it gets synced to your desktop, converted by the script, synced back to your phone.

    This way it also works if you want to share large amount of photos (of a trip or event or something)





  • Bio gas is a lot better than coal and fossil oil for the mean time. But long term basically the whole world should be using heatpumps for heating and cooling, they are incredibly efficient and outperform any other system on every metric. Especially because electricity will become dirt cheap in a few years/decades.

    The only reason they arent installed in every house yet is the fossil fuel lobby and their bought politicians, but even they are slowly realizing that its the inevitable solution.

    which also takes a lot of dirty manufacturing to build

    Solar compensates its production+installation footprint in around a year see here for the relevant numbers from the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory

    Wind power plants compensate theirs in a matter of a few months. See this part of Climate Towns latest video analyzing the typical propaganda that made you falsely believe that https://youtu.be/wBC_bug5DIQ?t=185

    Nuclear is obviously stupid and does indeed cost way too much and take way too much effort for how bad of a deal you get out of it when its done.


  • I wrote a somewhat lengthy “Introduction to Matrix/Element” comment for someone here recently. If you arent paranoid, then you can ignore the sections about not using and removing the web client session after account creation. Let me know if you have any trouble.

    The comment in question: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/16768943

    To use element like discord (with servers and voice channels) you will create a Space(=discord-server) and then add Rooms(=discord-channels) to it.

    Normal rooms are usually text only but you can still start a video call (doesnt have video on by default) inside one which all room members will get notified for.

    To get something like voice channels you create a “video room” which people can then join and it acts like a voice channel that also has screen sharing and video functionality.

    There is full permission management so you can give everyone in the space access to all rooms or use levels like guest/member/moderator/admin/owner etc or you make it invite only. Lots of options.







  • They killed ~800 civilians according to Israel, but Israel has refused any independent investigation into these numbers and their causes of death. Likely the number was much lower and a lot were killed by Israel fire in the confusion or under hannibal directive.

    The number of Hamas fighters that actually had civilian blood on their hands was at the time of the attack surely not in the thousands, because how can multiple people kill a single person.

    After 16 months of bombing, arrests and starvation the number of hamas fighters alive that have actually killed any Israeli civilians is bound to have dwindled to a fraction of the initial number. All that is left are military forces engaged in war with other military forces.

    All the while tens of thousands probably more than 100k univolved gazans have been killed by bombing, gunfire or starvation.

    In terms of hatred im sure most gazans would be happy if Israel crumbled, but people are to be judged for actions not thoughts.

    A whole different topic of discussion is whether settlers occupying and partying on internationally disputed territory should be considered civilians.
