Does anyone know a good, ethical host for a static, small website? Ideally it should have a free tier, but I don't mind paying a bit (let's say 5€/month).

I want to be able to command-line upload to it (or connect a git repo) and it should be clean and renewable energy, ideally.

EDIT: Oh and please hosted inside the :)

filipesm,

@jon this time when I go from Bergen to Lisbon, I'm gonna cross that border by bus from Sevilla to Faro, because the connection from Barcelona to Lisbon is just so bad through Madrid (takes very long with all the connections in between)

It’s time to wind down the reliance on fossil fuels.

Wind energy is renewable and abundantly available in the EU and its industry creates economic growth and green jobs.

This is why today we proposed a Wind Power Action Plan to maintain wind power a European success story.
It will:

→ speed up permitting procedure for projects on wind energy
→ help the industry access finance
→ ensure a fair international environment for our companies
→ train skilled workers

filipesm,

You always have to ruin it...

https://www.irishtimes.com/world/middle-east/2023/10/17/israel-hamas-war-air-strikes-pound-gaza-as-efforts-made-to-break-deadlock-on-aid/

More than 1,000 children have reportedly been killed in 11 days of airstrikes on Gaza – one child every 15 minutes – with children making up a third of total fatalities in Gaza.

This is not war. This is slaughter. This is barbarism. Nothing justifies this.

And yet the West watches—cheers with blood lust, even—as Israel commits genocide.

filipesm,

@aral If you generally like manga/anime, I would say it's a classic. But I also don't know if it's for everyone (coming from outside the manda/anime world) ahah. I think you can try to watch a few episodes and see if you like it. I personally loved it :)

Yesterday, President von der Leyen participated at the Berlin Process Summit in Tirana and presented our Growth Plan.

It is based on four pillars:

🔸 bringing the Western Balkans into the Single Market.
🔹 completing their Common Regional Market.
🔸 accelerating reforms to have more convergence of the economies
🔹 increasing EU funding for investment.

Only by working together will we bring the Western Balkans right where they belong, at the heart of the European Union.

filipesm,

@EU_Commission always Growth. Always. We've talked about this. You are gonna fuck this entire thing up. Just stop. It's easy. You just have to stop.

A mysterious queen named Thyra who lived during the Viking era may have been one of the founders of what is now Denmark.

Queen Thyra, the mother of King Harald Bluetooth, was commemorated on four commemorative runestones in different parts of Denmark – suggesting she was a powerful figure.

“I support the broad aim of the policy, but not the methods. All students should be treated fairly and equally. But the methods of this policy could result in discrimination against those who do not subscribe to gender identity theory and who believe that biology is more relevant than gender identity in matters such as women’s sports and changing rooms,” she said.

“I support people not being bigots but I also support bigots.” Good one, Karen.

filipesm,

@EU_Commission you could create policy to enforce use of public/private key authentication instead of passwords? Also create a state/EU funded browser that is very careful with how domains are shown (there are other reasons to have a public browser)?

Neither would fix the problem, but they would help. Also just education campaigns in schools and universities?

filipesm,

@EU_Commission @EC_NGI I know this one! I like it very much :)

I think the EU is on the right track and I am proud to be a part of it.

Nothing is perfect and the EU has stuff to improve, but I still think your work is something you should be proud of

Activists from @SciRebelPT and @climaximo have disrupted the World Aviation Festival in Lisbon, Portugal. Whilst CEOs from 5 aviation companies spoke, 4 activists invaded the stage, demanding the ban of private jets and aviation reduction. Outside the building, others painted the walls red.

We are breaking through the spam waves.

In the past days, we have identified and fixed several performance bummers, an internal meeting from our core team yesterday evening defined a roadmap to fix the rest.

To give you an idea: We are hit by extreme spam posts. In the past day, we removed 15% (!) of all Codeberg issues as spam, and we're still not done.

The removal degrades the performance, sometimes resulting in error 500s. Please reload the page in that case. Thank you for your patience.

filipesm,

@aral I wouldn't be so harsh ahah it's just like any other form of entertainment, I guess. At least a degree might teach them useful things and not just clickbait and lower children's attention spans. Improve social media content.

There must be space for multiple ways of living in life, right? We just need to make sure it's healthy and stuff. I wouldn't censor Love Island or Too Hot to Handle, and I think they're basically as braindead as TikTok.

This is the reality of a boiling planet.

We are on track to overshoot our goal to cut our greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030.

But we need to speed up the global clean energy transition if we want to limit the temperature rise to 1.5℃.

will be our opportunity to do so.

filipesm,

@EU_Commission Maybe the first step would be for the president of the Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, to stop announcing she wants . Or try to explain how she thinks growth can happen while not destroying the planet we depend on. Like @jasonhickel has said, it might be possible, but it's like making our lives much harder and risk billions of lives, for the profits of a few tens or hundreds... It's pure madness.

Just please, let's degrow

We support the EU Digital Markets Act (), because it gives users more control and more options.

In light of Microsoft's recent behavior, we have written an open letter to the @EU_Commission to express our concerns.

Read the whole letter here.👇

filipesm,

@Vivaldi @EU_Commission after reading this, and knowing you get money from Microsoft/Bing every year to function, I ask: how much would we have to pay a month for you to dump Microsoft completely? I'd be open to a subscription-based if that meant getting rid of all monopolistic companies like Microsoft

@aral @RichardJMurphy First pass the post is probably one of the worst origins of suffering in the world. It's like one of the small pieces of the domino chain that ends up causing so much chaos down the line.

And there are so many better (even if slightly!) systems that would be trivial to implement... Preferential voting, for example.
