Your depression couldn't have been that bad if you could create an app against it. Regular therapy would probably have been more effective and less dangerous for others.

Nuclear power is pretty cool if you don't build the plants in risky areas or ignore safety measures.

I'm a radiation safety officer and the completeness of precautions taken is inversely proportional to the amount of greediness of the company's CEO.

Until that's solved, nuclear power is a double-edged sword, as seen in Chernobyl and Fukushima. There's currently no perfect solution to that energy problem.

What many people don't know: There's more radiation set free by coal power plants than nuclear power plants because they burn that stuff and blow it into the air.

In addition to notifications from (social media) apps, turn off notifications for every messenger. I turned off everything but SMS and phone. If it's super important people will contact me there, all other messages can be read later.

Cool, does it include a small dial to put the clocks back when they manage to let their TLS certificates run out the 4th time?

Reminds me of the AAA gaming industry. Jim Sterling made some great and insightful videos about it.

Can't you block bitcoin miners via limiting CPU time per user?

As soon as a user hits x amount of minutes CPU per minute, you kill all his programs.

Not nice but effective.

Then they should create one key per service and only use that one.

I don't but currently the ssh registration script is nonfunctional.

Once that's working again you'd just have to give a fake mail address, but you won't be notified if we created an account for you this way.

It's currently a VPS rented from Strato.de, one of the biggest German hosting providers.

Since I'm paying out of my own pocket I currently don't want to afford a colocated server, even though I realise that'd be cooler and possibly more secure.

I'll try to have a detailed cost overview online somewhere soon-ish.

Ah right, thanks. I'll edit my profile to include it in my bio.
