This is very relevant. The reasoning to ban hardware from China is two fold in the article: 1. To reduce general dependency on Chinas Manufacturing 2. To increase security. And here is the point. Huawei has offered to provide source code and processes for building the firmware for their devices, thus allowing the German state to check every detail of the the devices. Neither Nokia nor Ericson have agreed to do the same, they should be forced to do so for such important infrastructure.

Even worse is Cisco from the USA. They have been found guilty of multiple times adding hardware and/or software backdoors to their devices. Or in their wording “forgetting to remove a remote root access used for development purposes” Here one of the recent cases: https://www.cyber.gc.ca/en/alerts-advisories/vulnerability-impacting-cisco-devices-cve-2023-20198 (This may happen once, but if it happens more than once the company is either guilty of implementing it a backdoor or so incompetent in security no one should dare to buy even a home router from then, much less equipment for critical infrastructure)

In the NSA Leaks Snowden also revealed documents proving that the NSA regularly tampers with Cisco devices to implement backdoors and have standard tools for that. (Also affecting hardware from other US manufacturers)

So asking: “Why these bold claims about increasing security and decreasing dependence with focus on China when these issues are far greater with another supplier” is very much valid. I am actually quite happy that Merz mentioned independence from the USA too.

Lika a Nokia N900 with a modern prozessor, camera, some GBs of RAM and a 5G modem. And of course Open Source drivers for the Hardware. This would be my dream phone (As the N900 was, back, when its Hardware was recent)

Another Option for the OS is Maemo Leste https://maemo-leste.github.io/ Successor of Maemo, the OS for for the famous Nokia Internet Tablets (N900)

/u/cerebralhawks did understand the tweet.

In short he wrote that everybody has to adapt his persona in some ways to fit into society and the expectations of educators. Some adopted easily, some also with mental anguish. (Think about not talking/not pursuing about your favorite interest because it is not cool, or because parents deem it to girly for a boy)

Nearly everybody has to sort this out when growing up/taking initiative to make choices out of interest and personality and not because of the environment. (and one of them can be: I am not my assigned gender!)

He also aknowledged that queer people have to deal with this more on average.

Immerhin ist die Inflation des Deutschlandtickets damit gegenüber der letzten Erhöhung konstant gehalten bei ca 8,7% pro Jahr. Ich hab nur irgendwie verpasst, dass das allgemeine Inflationsziel auf den Wert erhöht wurde…

I have mostly abandoned Win for many years (I only have gaming PC where I still have dual boot) Has it really gotten that bad? Every time I boot up Win I am shocked how long this clean PC with only Games installed and high end hardware takes to get ready. But at least it does its job.

On Linux (Kubuntu in my case) I haven’t had an issue with hanging software in a long time. Even browsers have become completely stable.

“Auch Unterhaltung soll einem öffentlich-rechtlichen Angebotsprofil entsprechen.”

Halt, deine Aussage an sich ist zwar korrekt, aber hier geht es nicht um Pressefreiheit. Wie OP schon sagte, wäre es ein beliebiger Kanal, Schwamm drauf. Er würde nicht dagegen vorgehen oder sich auch nur groß darüber beschweren, dass diese Inhalt in die Welt gehen. Das deckt die Pressefreiheit.

Was in seinen (und meinen) Augen nicht ok ist, ist das der ÖR, der ja verschiedene Zwecke erfüllen soll um Steuergelder wirkungsvoll einzusetzen, einen Kanal finanziert, der keines der Ziele erfüllt, beziehungsweise ihnen sogar gegenwirkt.

Ich habe, da ich hier aus Aussage gegen Aussage sehe, nach Videos gesucht und eines gefunden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwa0HEHZ9t0

Hier sieht man einerseits ein Vergehen der Demonstranten, ein plötzlicher Ansturm (wo wohl auch viele mitgezogen wurden) gegen die Polizeiblockade. Danach allerdings bricht bei den Polizisten Chaos los. Ich hab noch nicht alles einzeln überblickt, aber mir 10 mal in der Schleife die Eskalation angesehen und jedes mal sah ich einen neuen Polizisten der auf eine nicht aggressive Person einprügelt. Zweifelsohne ist das nicht zu rechtfertigen. Zwei Personen geraten sogar in die Polizeimenge, werden wie ein Spielball hin und her geschubst und beide dann von einem Polizisten zu Boden geprügelt. Gerade in der Situation ist das direkt Lebensgefährlich. Angriffe gegen die Polizei habe ich nicht gesehen, aber kann ich bei dem Chaos natürlich übersehen.

Danach geht alles wieder geordneter und ich bin mangels Zeit grob durchs Video gesprungen. Falls man da noch etwas sieht, gerne kommentieren.

We do have many of them. We just have chosen not to mine them because that creates environmental and health issues and we can obtain them from elsewhere. When we mine them here, then mostly in remote places.

Cobalt: Top producer is DRC, Europe has a minor local production, mostly in Finnland Lithium: Abundant everywhere but difficult to extract, the EU doesn’t produce any significant quantities right now Nickel: Only 1.5% produced in EU, again mostly in Finnland Maganese: This is the only metal relevant for current batteries where there are no (known) significant deposits in central EU, some are around the black sea, industrial production is nonexistent.

Where the EU is already more present is in the refining of the raw ores. I think the current situation is, while not great, acceptable. As long as many different producers of the rare metals are available and the EU creates reserves of them (it does), it is fine to be dependent on imports for the moment.

First there is a reason for that, as all major incident and even many minor incidents (see above) release radioactivity. Often into the environment in very minor cases only into the reactor building and the workers.

Secondly its wrong. Yes incidents do happen in normal plant too. But any remotely major ones also make it into the news. Actually they do it more often as the plants are not as remote and as huge that you wouldn’t notice them. As you can see 4 incidents haven’t been made public in Grundmemmingen B, I don’t know of a single one which has not been disclosed for years with coal/gas plants.

Lets pick a random sample of 10 German coal & gas plants from the Wikipedia list: (Kraftwerk Bremen-Mittelsbüren[49]Gemeinschaftskraftwerk Bremen (GKB)[52]Industriekraftwerk Bremerhaven[1]Industriekraftwerk Breuberg[53]Egger Kraftwerk Brilon[1]Kraftwerk Burghausen[1]Industriekraftwerk Marl[1][2]Kraftwerk Clauen[1]Heizkraftwerk Cottbus[55][2]GTKW Darmstadt[57] )

We have 8 with no incidents at all, notable Bremen-Mittelsbüren which runs since 1964! Special mention also for Marl where the plant didn’t have issues, but the chemical factories around it, oh boy!

We have 2 with Issues, a complete list:

• Fire in turbine, nobody hurt (Clauen)
• boiler explosion 3 hurt, 2 dead (Brilon)

So in total you have less issues than with a single average atomic reactor and only 20% of the list had issues. Why is that so? First these systems are simple. The only contain comparatively few parts, you can access almost everything for inspection without special gear and notice and fix any faults before they even have a chance to become a problem. Secondly they deal with lower extremes. The steam circuit has less pressure, the power for the transformers is lower.

This also hold for the huge ones, e.g. the 4 Datteln plants where only Datteln 4 had a major fire incident with no deaths. The oldest one running 1964-2014, longer than any atomic reactor in Germany.

When you look to wind turbines incidents are even more rare. We have currently about 28600 wind turbines in Germany, of these 129 had incidents like damage to the blades. 8 towers collapsed so 0.5% with issues and 0.02% with major ones. (And these issues concentrate on the first turbines built)

On the one hand, yes it is. On the other hand the general average also does not seem good.

There are many reactors which had similar, but not as bad histories. Kozloduy NPP (BG), Zion Nuclear Power Station (US), Ignalina (LI), Shoreham, Bohunice, Superphénix, … While reactors which have run without noteworthy problems make up not even half of the total, which is far below anything which should be the norm for public infrastructure.

Lets take Germany as example, which fits quite well due to half of the countries having very lax requirements (DDR) and half having strict ones (West-Germany)

• We have 7 Reactors which where built but never operated due to safety concerns (3 in Greifswald)
• We have at least 4 sites (with at least 8 reactor blocks) with major issues, besides Greifswald we have e.g. hydrogen explosions (Brunsbüttel), turbine fires (Gundremmingen A), transformer fires (Krümmel). These are just the ones I found with a quick search.
• We have another 9 reactor blocks with minor issues like Grundmemmingen B (Bavaria), lets pick this one at random and name the minor incidents: 2 Workers killed by boiling steam explosion (1975), short circuit leading to 3m of contaminated water at 80°C in the building (1977), failed sealing leading to automatic shutdown and repair (2008), failed rods emitting 500-fold the allowed amount of radioactive gases into the atmosphere (2011), another 4 incidents which have not yet been made public and really minor issues like value issues.
• We have about 10 with only minor issues. Stretching from Emsland with only 2 known small leaks to Grafenrheinfeld where there were sudden shutdowns and a fire which nearly reached the main reactor but was extinguished in time.

In fact during looking this up I haven’t found a single reactor which ran a significant time without any incident, even if I do not count construction issues which were caught and fixed in time before they resulted in incidents.

Maybe you should look the mentioned case up before making your argument.

Greifswald had 6 blocks in 1990: 4 blocks which were in very bad state, cracks in the pressure chamber with a high probability to release nuclear material into the environment. Due to these faults they were already shut down since 1987, except block 1 which was run against the recommendations of the security agency. To continue running them they would have to be rebuilt, completely. This includes dismantling them which as we now know would have taken many decades! Block 5 and 6 were under construction. (Started in 1970, planned for 1980) But mistakes were made during the construction, postponing it till 1990, when finally no energy company at all wanted to take over the risk of running it.

So Greifswald was shut down. Not to spite you, but because both security of the general population and financial aspects didn’t allow running it anymore. (It had already two near disasters which where kept hidden and only became known because of the fall of the DDR)

Now to the word “emerging”

This was built entirely in 16 months, from groundbreaking to connection to the grid. For the cost of a single nuclear reactor you can build 30 of these. And opposed to nuclear technology batteries are still making remarkable progress in their affordability.

Edit: Btw the battery also uses below 0,5% of the area of a usual nuclear plant.

I suppose you know don’t about the superbattery projects already implemented, e.g. the one in Australia and its huge benefits to their grid?

About sodium based batteries which have become commercially viable in recent years?

And because of the implication also that nuclear reactors produce extreme waste of building materials (e.g. Greifswald, ran for 26 years, dismantling in operation since 35 years and projected to last till 2040 at least, because higher contamination than estimated) and mining for them is at least as bad as for Lithium?

If not ask the search engine/ai of your choice.

Ich denke wir haben hier einfach Früh- und Spätaufsteher mit euch und ihr habt beide Recht 😉

Geht man um Mitternacht ins Bett, ist es da schon kühler und man kann bis morgens um 8-9 Lüften, wo es draußen warm wird.

Geht man um 21/22 Uhr ins Bett und steht um 6-7 auf, dann lüftet sichs besser in der Früh.

Nachdem mich dein Beitrag angespornt hat (Danke!) habe ich mich ab und zu wieder auf die Suche gemacht und dank der verbesserten Chat-KIs endlich das Buch gefunden! Ich hab es direkt bestellt und werde ihm einen kleinen Ehrenplatz in meinem Regal geben :)

Es handelt sich um “Turmhoch und Meilenweit” von Tonke Dragt. Orginaltitel “Torenhoog en mijlen breed” erschienen ist es ursprünglich 1969 und hat 1995 sogar den Jugendbuchpreis gewonnen.

Das Cover, das ich hatte war dieses hier:

Das der Neuauflage ist im Vergleich schrecklich.

Lustig wie die Erinnerung mit der Zeit Details umgebogen hat und ich felsenfest überzeugt war, das alles davon korrekt ist. Aus dem Raumschiff wurde die Kuppel in der die Menschen lebten und aus einer Aussage im Buch und der Darstellung auf dem Cover wurde der Titel. Zum Glück hat noch genug gestimmt um es zu finden.

Falls du auch einen Blick hineinwerfen willst, findet man das Buch mit dem schönen Cover auf buchhai.de ab 5€.
Achtung, wie üblich verraten manche Zusammenfassungen schon viel zu viel über den Inhalt.

Ich habe in der Kindheit alle Bücher verschlungen die mir in die Hände kamen, darunter auch Kindergeschichten und schließlich ein erster richtiger Science Fiction Roman.

Der Titel an den in mich erinnere ist “Die roten Wälder der Venus”, aber so finde ich nichts im Netz. Es ging darum, dass Menschen auf der Venus sind in einer Schutzkuppel und sich nur für Kurze Ausflüge raustrauen, da die Vegetation die Schutzanzüge schnell angreift. Vor den Wäldern soll man sich besonders in Acht nehmen. Die Hauptperson traut sich (ob begründet oder nicht, weiß ich nicht mehr) irgendwann die Wälder zu erkunden.

Fall irgendjemand das Buch findet, bin ich ihm dankbar. Sogar das Cover habe ich noch recht genau im Kopf. unten die Kuppel, ein oder ein paar Menschen die neben ihr stehen, darüber die roten Wälder und über diesen ein gelber einheitlicher Himmel.

Dann folgten Universum ohne Ende (Poul Anderson), Stargate SG-1 im Fernsehen und zahlreiche Stephen Baxter Romane.
