Eh, I wouldn't call them assholes for that. I'm sure there's a minefield of legal issues that could come up that is mitigated by releasing it to public domain. By the same logic, anyone can also take the code, modify it, then release their modifications with a copy left license.

How does this make them assholes?

I use nextcloud tasks and deck for keeping track of things. Tasks is great for checklists, calendar integration, reminders, etc., I use it for simple reminders like trash day, and things I don't want to bother with making a calendar event for. You can have it make a calendar event, but I don't. Deck is a kanban style thing with calendar integration as well, it's a bit more job-task oriented so I use it to help me juggle tasks when I have a lot of projects that need keeping up with. Setting up nextcloud is way overkill for just those features, though. If you're not looking for the other features of nextcloud, I don't think it'd be worth it.

It is pretty easy to set up if you go the nextcloudpi route on Debian, you don't need a raspberry pi. Any computer running Debian can do it, but you may need to install a few dependencies if you're on minimal Debian that aren't listed anywhere, at least last time I set it up they weren't. But again, if you aren't looking to use the rest of nextcloud, I wouldn't go that route.

You are correct, the person you're responding to is jumping to conclusions with no evidence.

There's nothing in the article stating such. Just that one of the women had become fearful of the world because of COVID.

If your floorboards are visible in the ceiling you'll want to put up some drywall or something on the ceiling, every time someone walks on the floor above, some dust will get knocked loose and fall from the ceiling. You could put up some drop cloths as well for a quicker, less permanent solution.

Methane is produced by methanogens in landfills, methane is not really part of the carbon cycle. The cycle itself isn't self contained, so all the carbon dioxide and methane join all the rest in the atmosphere. We want to reduce any greenhouse gas sources as much as possible, whether it's "carbon neutral" or not.

They can't just use any type of sand for construction, beach sand is out of the question as it's not rough enough. It's coming to the point that it's hard to find sources of sand that don't have negative ecological impacts, so replacing that component with something else is a good idea.

I'd be willing to guess that they already tested using bio char as a replacement and saw that it worked well in concrete, then started looking at waste sources of starting material that had sandy texture, then boom coffee grounds.

No, 4kwh is about the daily amount of sun hitting 1 square meter. Solar panels can capture about 20% of that

If I understand many of my colleagues gripes about their days in graduate school, the PI basically told them to make it work, so they did. Either by manipulating procedures, using the one study out of 5 that worked, or by photoshopping images. I'd say manipulation is absolutely rampant in his lab, this is just one way they were doing it and they got caught.
