That really depends on what you mean by privacy. They probably won‘t sell your data or even look at the stuff you‘re doing with your server, if you‘re not disrupting their service. But they definitely will cooperate with law enforcement if your server is used for illegal stuff and someone reports it.

In the end, you’ll always have to trust your server host to some degree. Some other hosts, like Hetzner, allow you to install your own operating systems on their dedicated servers, so you can set up full disk encryption. But even though this is definitely better than unencrypted disks, it‘s still not a reliable way of preventing access while your server is running.

So if you’re just wondering if you can host a Nextcloud instance at hostinger without your files being sold by them: Almost certainly, yes. If you, on the other hand, plan to host manuals for building bombs or, even worse, offer downloads of old Nintendo games, they‘re probably not going to respect your privacy for long.

There‘s a great episode of Map Men covering this map and a few other, similar ones.

That‘s what I call good timing.

I’m not an expert, so take my findings with a grain of salt, but the current scientific consensus seems to be:

We don’t know.

Recent studies suggest that the behavior of spiders is more complex than previously thought. They show behavior that can’t be explained by simple automatisms, such as the development of hunting strategies depending on their prey.

Keep in mind that these findings do not indicate any capability to love or to grow fond of someone. But there is an ongoing discussion about whether invertebrates should be considered sentient.

According to their FAQ, all fonts on Google Fonts are open source and their library is pretty extensive, searchable and usable without an account.

So, unless I’m missing something, it seems to be what you’re looking for.

Though I haven’t had a chance to taste Swiss Vivi Kola yet, most of the German Coca-Cola alternatives just taste better anyway.

So this probably isn’t just a win for the Made in Europe movement, but also for the tastebuds of travelers.

They‘ve had some issues with DDoS attacks over the past few days. This might be a temporary side-effect of their mitigation.

Da es, auch mit Blick auf den Koalitionsvertrag von Union und SPD, gerade echt nicht gut um die Freiheitsrechte im Internet steht: Wenn es euch möglich ist, spendet bitte an NGOs, die über die bevorstehenden Einschränkungen berichten, oder ggf. rechtlich gegen sie vorgehen könnten. Vorschläge wären zum Beispiel netzpolitik.org, die Gesellschaft für Freiheitsrechte oder noyb.

Wir brauchen dringend genug qualifizierten Gegenwind, sonst steht diesen geschichtsvergessenen und gleichzeitig vollkommen untauglichen Massenüberwachungsfantasien kaum etwas im Wege.

If I understand that article correctly, this should be the case, yes. Unfortunately I'm unable to find any official statistics on that matter.

According to the second source „energy recovery“ isn‘t included in this statistic.

Oh boy, here I go ranting against misinformation about recycling again.

Your claim that 60% of these bottles will be burned is false. The recycling quota for single-use plastic bottles in Germany is 97.6% (2023; source).

60% was the quota of all non-recycled plastic packaging material combined, back in 2018. This quota has further decreased since, and is now at about 30% (2023, source), so almost 70% of all plastic packaging in Germany is recycled. It's still not perfect, but far, far better than just burning everything.

Recycling isn't an easy and cheap process, but it can definitely work and be steadily improved, if it's properly implemented. I'm so tired of this dumb suggestion, that recycling is bad because it's not perfect (or, in the case of the US, full of corruption). Every bit of plastic that isn't polluting the environment is a win. And recycling is definitely helping with that. As opposed to propagating false information on the internet.

Cool project, but it seems to be very similar to PairDrop with the major downside of not being open-source. What would be the advantages of using this project over existing FOSS-solutions?
