The land use-climate change-biodiversity nexus in European islands stakeholders
To promote climate adaptation and mitigation, it is crucial to understand stakeholder perspectives and knowledge gaps on land use and climate changes. Stakeholders across 21 European islands were consulted on climate and land use change issues affecting ecosystem services. Climate change perceptions included temperature, precipitation, humidity, extremes, and wind. Land use change perceptions included deforestation, coastal degradation, habitat protection, renewable energy facilities, wetlands,…

Leaseweb's annual service price increase will be 3.9% in 2026. Outside of domain registrations and big contracts, not many basic #hosting providers do this on such a consistent basis.
It is not unreasonable to charge more to account for inflation on salaries, rent, energy, etc. However, as we all know, hardware gets cheaper and better all the time. Are these customers getting more …

Oh my god.

Good morning!
Here are some photos from the #Mummelsee in the #Schwarzwald . We wanted to visit it last year already but somehow just managed to go there this time.
The lake itself is scenic and beautiful. But definitely a "hot spot". Luckily we were there at a day/time w…

Amazon Threat Intelligence identifies Russian cyber threat group targeting Western critical infrastructure | Amazon Web Services
As we conclude 2025, Amazon Threat Intelligence is sharing insights about a years-long Russian state-sponsored campaign that represents a significant evolution in critical infrastructure targeting: a tactical pivot where what appear to be misconfigured customer network edge devices became the primary initial access vector, while vulnerability exploitation activity declined. This tactical adaptation enables the same […]

Aggregate Modeling of Air-Conditioner Loads Under Packet-based Control with Both On and Off Grid Access Requests
Coordination of distributed energy resources (DERs) can engender flexibility necessary to improve grid reliability. Packetized Energy Management (PEM) is a method for coordinating DERs, such as thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) and electric vehicles, within customer quality-of-service (QoS) limits. In PEM, a DER uses local information to offer flexibility by sending a request to the DER coordinator to turn-ON or turn-OFF. Much work has focused on modeling and analyzing aggregations of DE…
