…might work for coffee…

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net They build individual transport means. Of course they will not invest into electrifying tracks. Announce there will be a highspeed rail project, and they will get hyperloop :P @wikkit@mastodon.social

@Chaostronaut@mstdn.party It all depends on how large you want to become. I recommend making a plan and setting bounds for your system. Like 100, 1000, 10000 users. NOT MORE. Think of rules and audience. From chaos.social a very awesome instance https://meta.chaos.social/2022/11/29/changes https://leah.is/posts/scaling-the-mastodon/ Her awesome advice: https://chaos.social/@leah/109514086537833385 iirc @nova@hachyderm.io did some writeups about hachyderm. A younger and bigger instance. Good luck and consider staying small :) @mastodonmigration@mastodon.online

@thoralf@soc.umrath.net Eben. Gibt ja nicht wirklich Ebbe und Flut dort. Also ganz normaler Tag ;) @Fparianen@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social And we really should consider the alternatives, which are Busses or private cars. No, there is much you can argue about, but perfectionism brings you nowhere. If they plan to switch over to electric as soon as newbuild track is electrified and having diesel in between, it is a good move. The too often seen German alternative is: doing Nothing I mean we talk 0 infrastructure to railaccess and going diesel with many folks. Yes tongue in cheek is fine, but its good @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social Check https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?style=standard&lat=52.402471240250776&lon=13.810114860534668&zoom=14 They indicate that it is under construction. So I assume they will switch and might electrify. So renting some surplus Material doesnt sound too bad. @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social The schedule: https://www.eberswalde-ffo.de/media/files/rbtes-fahrplan-erkner-tesla-sued.pdf No, it does not stand still much and most likely will keep running non-stop. @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@fenkt@social.tchncs.de As long as I can remember we always went all the way from Hannover to Norddeich electric (via Bremen). That is like nearly 30 years. But my memory might be wrong. Esens meanwhile is on another Track for other Frisian Islands (Langeog) which is not electrified and goes to Sande basicly to join the electric line from Jadeweserport to Oldenburg. https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?style=electrified&lat=53.61817207375609&lon=7.699012756347656&zoom=11 @wonka@chaos.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@fenkt@social.tchncs.de Which one? It is electrified to Münster and Bremen? https://www.openrailwaymap.org/?style=electrified&lat=53.09897176800468&lon=8.817901611328125&zoom=9 @wonka@chaos.social @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social And they need trains for material as well, so electrifying it makes sense. But it is a private Track. I read we are talking about few km. @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social I assume they just grabbed what is on the market. I doubt they do long term planning and accepting the German "ok, in 6 years, that is fine" mentality. They showed that if you throw money at problems you can speed things up (like finding contractors) and given the transport options for goods it should really be the obvious move to go electric and not batteries. @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@jiska@chaos.social Ist schon patentiert?

@danieldekay@masto.ai @roland@giersig.net But why would you moderate that? you ignore stupid requests. Done. Should not be more interaction. Or am I missing something?

@danieldekay@masto.ai @roland@giersig.net Basicly I was thinking in the lines of setting up a institution server, so I was really wondering. And given the availibility of Friendica et al I see no reason why you should not host your own instance as a brand/institute. It should be really low effort, and no need to worry about ToS and other stuff on a foreign instance + brand recognition This is more for commercial entities tho, I find VW odd to supposedly run to mastodon.social if true https://europe.autonews.com/automakers/vw-joins-mastodon-concerns-over-twitter-mount

@roland@giersig.net @danieldekay@masto.ai But honestly how much moderation do your own accounts need? PR blasts out some stuff, everyone is employed/in your project. furthermore brand@mastodon.social feels very much like brand@gmail/yahoo/aol All the red flags instantly go off. (like the vw accounts) And ofc there are good other self hosted plugins/solutions.

@cdevroe I think we should add a.gup.pe https://opencollective.com/guppe-groups And ofc always consider that hosting our media for consumption happens a lot of times on NOT our instance. So consider support a pixelfed, peertube instance. their traffic is your traffic. Consider to add time in your pledge and help some instance with work. Moderation et al.

@wonka@chaos.social Are they available on order? The last project I read was expecting delivery in 2029 @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social

@wonka@chaos.social And this is the thing. A not available battery cart there, and going electric in 3 years is most likely not better. A new built battery cart and going electric in 3 years is most likely not better either An old cart with diesel reused and going electric in 3 years is most likely the best option You get more runtime out of build equipment You can start NOW This argument is mostly like not taking trains because they use 40% Coal Power. So we wait until Datteln is gone @jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net @wikkit@mastodon.social
