clean

• The entire page comes with 420KB (initial) to 700KB (complete) traffic per call and runs on a server that comes under full load with 5W power.
• The page consists of static HTML and thus additionally saves electricity that would be required for dynamic pages to generate the page during each new call.

safe

• The page is only written with HTML and CSS. Javascript was dispensed with.
• No cookies are set to protect your privacy.
• No third-party content is imported.
• Since the page consists of static HTML, it does not provide an interface into which corrupt code can be injected.

sparse

• As a static side, it could be hosted on any web server that is still so simple. Thus, cheap hosting contracts or even own hosts are possible in a safe manner.
• By omitting dynamic content, the electricity costs are also low in the case of high traffic during own hosting.
• All graphics are SVG. Compared to other image formats, 90 to 99 percent of the file size is saved.

• No Javascript

  And yet interactive.

  This page consistently avoids the use of its own Javascript. This makes the page in a simple way trustworthy. Nevertheless, it is interactive in a way, as one usually only knows from javascriptlastic pages.

  • CSS3 replaces many classic Javascript tasks. For example:
  • Interaction by clicking: Javascript is mostly used for this. The so-called "Checkbox-Hack" comes with pure CSS3.
  • Animations: CSS3 also offers a rich framework for this. In this case, the animations are installed in the SVG graphics.
  • Scroll instead of jumping at click: CSS3 knows the attribute 'scroll-behavior'.

Your website can also be designed according to these criteria. Contact me without obligation.

• The Code Civil

  is the most important European lawbook of modern times. In 1804 introduced by Napoleon, it reflects the ideals of the French Revolution: freedom, equality and brotherhood. He guaranteed freedom of religion, the right to property and equality before the law and ban special rights for the nobility.

• The exercise of many freedoms

  has often become easier through information technology. The new freedoms and (digital) property are threatened by large-scale digital expulsions, malware, gross errors in proprietary software, software patents and "digital rights management". The equality of users is challenged by data strangulations and special contracts between Internet providers and content providers.

• Computer and Internet

  emitting just as much CO₂ like global aviation, and thus themselves represent a social problem.

When public money is spent on software development, the result should also be public. Instead, millions will be spent on proprietary software, which has been delivered partly full of serious security deficiencies (election 2000, Luca, ID Wallet) and is difficult to check for your handling of personal data. The Free Software Foundation Europe wants to change this across Europe with your help:

Monitoring by Internet companies, manipulating and discriminatory algorithms, business models that promote anger and hatred, all these are problems that the EU wants to tackle with the Digtal Services Act and the Digital Markets Act. But not everything is good way. Make yourself heard:

The LibreTranslate translation server is available as free software. The instance used here is local in the codecivil network. The translations of this homepage are provided experimentally: errors and gaps are not corrected afterwards.

The function used to translate HTML pages directly is still in beta status. For dynamic pages you should probably write a plugin adapted to the CMS.

It can be seen that typos, irregular verbs, proverbial expressions and more complex grammatical structures still cause errors in translations from German to other languages. LibreTranslate, however, is in active development and is constantly improving.

codecivil is not involved in the development of LibreTranslate.
