Executive summary by ChatGPT:

Germany will shut down its three remaining nuclear reactors by April 16, ending nuclear power generation in Europe's largest economy. Germany's move, which marks the end of a decades-long fight by environmentalists, makes it an outlier in much of the industrialised world, including Britain, France, Finland, and Poland, which are expanding their nuclear energy programs as part of their plans to reach ambitious climate targets. The decision comes at a time when Europe is grappling with the question of how to secure enough energy to drive its economies and keep homes warm while also reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Some scientists and Nobel Prize laureates from across the globe have urged Germany to reconsider its decision to phase out nuclear power, citing it as a valuable alternative to power plants spewing greenhouse gases. However, Robert Habeck, the economy minister, insists that Germany can manage the nuclear exit, stating that the country's energy system will be structured differently, relying on 80% renewable energies by 2030.

Absolutely this! The uncertainty freaks me out. I don't have money to pay thousands of dollars as a result of some bug or attack.

I'm in love with DigitalOcean because you know the price you'd pay each month. If it's just 5 USD or 5000 USD, it's what you expected, nothing more.

I believe the rest of the clan (Linode, Vultr, etc.) give you the same certainty.

What if it is a single person project, or a small team with only devs having to manually test each other's work?

Is it wrong to start testing from the "Manual QA" point of view (But in reality automated.)?

I naturally think about (Or pencil.) what elements should be in a page, and how they should behave. That is easier to translate to browser tests.

Also, even if I write feature or unit tests to invoke some class methods, there's no guarantee that they'd be executed when a user performs some action in the page. To do that, I'd either have to manually check it (Bad, because its not repeatable.), or write browser tests anyway.

Edit: Typo

Agreed. I am trying to find the community's opinions on this.

Slightly related question: Would you trust (And pay for.) a service hosted on a free domain name (Something from Freenom, for an example.)?

Thanks for the valuable comment. I will try to name solutions for each of the concerns you listed. Tell me what you think of those:

1. Spam: Humanity verification + A Negative Points System*.

2. False Reports: Negative Points System.

3. Reporting Disagreements: Negative Points System.

4. Ignored Reports: Regular Reminders. Prioritizing content that multiple people reported.

5. Acceptable Content: The community owners decide standards. Not this system. The owners can merely use this as a tool for reports to come in.

---

Negative Points System: Everyone starts with a X number of points. Each report decreases X. If a report is constructive, they get back decreased points, plus earn some. If the report is well intended, but doesn't justify a report, they get back points, but earns none. If the report is malicious, they lose their points, and some more. The pluses and minuses can indicate a user's behavior, and the owners can remove that user's right to report.
