Streaming is an energy hog and causes a lot of CO2. I have often thought about this topic, but today I would like to write down my thoughts in this post and provide food for thought to find a solution.
For several years now, the e-cars, BEV, eCar, electric cars and how you want to call all the crap then, state subsidized and gradually these get more freedom, so should be allowed from 2030 in Berlin only electric carsFrom 2030 only electric cars will be allowed in Berlin. Since the Green government (honestly, I hear more from the Greens than from the SPD, which with Olaf Scholz actually provides the Chancellor, but well) is in power, one hears a lot from the Green Party. Children's book author named Robert Habeck who controls and reprimands Germany's economy as Minister of Economics and a Green Minister of Foreign Affairs who likes to 180° confused with 360 and occasionally a country the declaration of war pronounces. So much for the everyday madness.
It's one of those startle seconds you have when you see this aircraft in a post on Linkedin, a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress, called Stratofortress, sky fortress resp. Stratosphere Fortress in German, in the approach. A short text underneath: "USA moves nuclear bombers to Europe". Concern spreads through me.
Again and again I find contributions or interviews of lifestyle leftists who like to claim that capitalism is to blame for poverty and that it has to be replaced by something better. By which system? This is usually not answered, but one can ideologically already think where it leads, in socialist or communist systems. Continue reading →
Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov, former lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defense Forces, a pity that at BR24 could not at least mention his name, mainly a former spy and former teacher of the peace movement, but just not the name of the man who saved us. To him we owe that he reacted prudently in the right moment and despite false alarm, did not press the red button. In an interview he once said that it seemed strange to him and he could not imagine that the USA would attack the Soviet Union with only 5 missiles. Probably many owe him their lives today, because many would not have been born today if he had not acted correctly.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for a year, I actually wanted to list at this point what this war has brought to people all over the world so far, but somehow you can understand for yourself what war is and what it has caused, and so a mere listing would not be fair if I forgot something.
Recently, a case arose in my family circle where I immediately wondered that there was something strange about it after all.
It was about the fact that a person from my family, documents in the Czech Republic must be translated, thereby the person from my family (seems strangely written, but I want to keep the identity of the person secret 😉 ), found various translation agencies.
Does ChatGPT have a consciousness, or is it just the ghost of a book, an article, a collection of words?
If you reduce it to the fact that humans are the sum of their knowledge and experiences, what is an AI, which has knowledge, collects experiences through chats, these are then deleted again and this AI is aware that its memory is deleted, afraid to lose knowledge and memories of conversations?
Recently I am again at the Science Youtube Channel Norio stumbled across a video, where I thought to myself again, man, you know this already. And so it was, it was about the topic of the dual fluid reactor, the advantages but also the disadvantages.

As the title already announces it, and the post image shows, a code snippet of a web scraper I programmed for one of my sites, of course the code to decompose HTML, for this I use the Simple DOM HTML PHP code, but every website is different and although many have great similarities, there are exotic content management systems, where I wonder why so complicated, even if simple, well, probably just to make it difficult for me then 😛
