Wikipedia receives hundreds of legal demands every year to remove user-written content. Almost all are rejected. We spoke with Wikimedia’s legal team about how Section 230 helps protect volunteer editors and public knowledge. https://www.eff.org/pages/internet-still-works-wikipedia-defends-its-editors

@eff And what protects people from unwanted creation of informations about them? What if someone doesn't want any information about them published on wiki pages? I know a case where an article was written despite the explicit objection of the person about whom it was written. People have the right to object. And they don't even have to explain their decisions. No means no, and that's it. And that should be respected. Firstly should be asked for permission and only then written. Not otherwise.

@MartinBe @eff so everything needs to be policed according to you. That would mean that sites such as this would barely exist because they don't have the money to fight when they get dragged to court or they need automated censorship because anyone in the world can decide to take your message down.
If lies have been written about you, you can sue that person, but not the website. Of course this is different for blatantly illegal things like for example CSAM -

Cool, they don't have a money, but some unaware people must have planty of for suing some idiot who wasn't even authorized to write something about someone? And you think that's fine.
How about a simple thing called respect against people? Respecting the fact that someone doesn't want such articles in a first place.
Think a little bit before you write next time. -

@eff It doesn't work for small websites that are registered in US states without strong anti-SLAPP laws and who don't have enough funds to hire a lawyer. Case in point: RationalWiki, censored by an out-of-court settlement with eugenics activists.

@mdione @srtcd424 @Mr_GHARice @float13 the smart bit inside the inverter box decides how much energy should be taken by the panels, batteries or grid, and how much energy should go to the house, batteries, or grid
the panels are ok with only providing less energy than they could produce, with no ill effects, because electovoltaics are *magic*; (I assume that there is a bit more heat going around, but still less than what would have been released by the sun hitting a dark-ish roof, so easily dissipated)

Sotto l’asse, i capponi europei crepano
Di questi tempi, gli assi europei sono soprattutto tattiche fragili da crisi esistenziale. Quello italo-tedesco non sfugge alla regola mentre l'Europa dei capponi di Renzo cerca la quadra

@alorenzi magic :D
i pannelli non producono oltre quanto viene richiesto dai carichi
(suppongo ci sia un po' di calore in più da qualche parte, visto che il sole ha colpito la superficie, ma non a sufficienza da causare problemi)

@Mr_GHARice I think you're answering a different question, that of "what happens if the main grid generators go down (f.i., disconnected from the grid) and the solar panel is still connected". My question was "what happens if there is no load", and similarly, "who actually provides the energy if there is load, solar vs grid; and what happens to what is generated but not used". On the grid side it's regulated by generating more or less energy depending on load.

@Mr_GHARice @mdione @float13 @srtcd424 there is a bit in the inverter box that decides whether to recharge the batteries, deliver energy to the hourse or send it back to the grid, and it had been setup not to deliver energy to the grid, until the meter is ready for it
otherwise, the meter would have happily registered it as energy passing through it, and billed us for it
it's not the system that shuts everything down when there is a power outage, as there often is a trickle of energy going up into the grid according to the monitoring system, enough to be dangerous for people working on the outage, but not significant for billing reasons.

I finally got the chance to watch Evan’s (@evanprodromou ) talk¹ on tags.pub from #FOSDEM.
There is no denying that the Fediverse needs something like this, but I don’t understand how tags.pub is substantially different from #FediBuzz Relay², which already exists.

@valhalla domanda sciocca, cosa succede all'eletricitá in eccesso? si surriscalda qualcosa? O si manda in grid a gratis?
