Even if we stop all emissions right now, we'll exceed the 1.5C target, so...

The Doomerist paralysis has been engineered by the folks who look to benefit the most from inaction, mainly the fossil fuel and related industries.

To not even attempt to head for the lifeboats is suicide.


Exactly what is it about CO2, a plant food, that scares you so much? You do realize that green plants react to increased CO2 percentage with stronger growth?

You're the one calling me a "doomer"?


Plants and humans both love water, but you can still drown.

Please attempt steelmanning the global warming greenhouse effect and its consequences as an intellectual exercise.

He was asking you to try to 'steelman', or take seriously the strongest version of, the arguments of your counterparts, rather than being dismissive.

"Plants like CO2" is not a counterargument to "Increased atmoospheric CO2 will have a number of outcomes that are net negative for humanity", so I presume they're asking you to actually think about the argument being made and respond to it, not some other, made up one.


Where do i even begin to respond to this?

Plants growing slightly faster does not mitigate the many consequences of increased CO2.


Nitrate is a plant food too, doesn't mean it's not killing large parts of the ocean.

I didn't call you anything, I wasn't even talking to you.

The nice thing with climate change is that it can always get worse !

If we miss the 1.5 target then the next target is 1.51. And so on.


Every point of a degree we can mitigate will matter a lot.

Makes no sense IMHO: produce can last more than a week in the fridge

Holy cow. In France it's like 3 times less (https://base-donnees-publique.medicaments.gouv.fr/medicament...).


Right? That's why I think I'm going to get it in India. Cervavac should be fine.


What about separate, atomic, commits? Are they squashed too? Makes reverting a fix harder without impacting the rest, no?


PRs should be atomic, if they need to be separated for reverting, they should be multiple PRs.


An impressive feast of engineering! Plenty of temporary ropeways, mechanics, transport... Really nice to see


Yet it works perfectly which forgejo/gitea (uses the act runner)


Yeah, for me this is the main reason. I don't need it (even though I self host many websites, some having 100k requests/day, which is reasonable for a homelab). But most importantly, and don't want all the traffic to my websites being MITM by a company, even more so when it's foreign


Good for your kids if you believe in the hygiene hypothesis though


Last year, I did yet another PV install at a friends house. While plugging the SMA inverter to the solar field (600V), I fucked up and inverted plus & minus.

Nothing happened. I read the manual and realised that SMA inverters are protected against reverse polarity. Yeah, a bit more expensive, but well worth it


I'm more surprised you managed to plug them in reversed; did you have good reason to avoid the polarized semi-pwrmanently-latching connects that most panels ship with?


Because panels are on the roof, the inverter is on the basement, so you have to run your own cables and crimp the mc4 connectors on them. If you swap them around they get mixed up ;-)
