as they deprecated much more invasive things in the past (e.g., cgroupv1) I'd expect them to also drop older versions here, breaking ones naming again

Note that the naming scheme is in control of systemd, not the kernel. Even if it is passed on the kernel commandline.

A number of other distributions such as Debian have taken the leap and switched. Unfortunately, source-based distributions such as Gentoo don’t have it that easy.

For Debian it was extremely painful. A few people probably burned out. Lots of people pointed to source-based distributions and said "they will have it very easy".

Counterpoint: the moment you do receive spam calls in Austria, our regulatory office is so incompetent, they'll not do anything about it. Last time their reply was "this is a VOIP number and it's already disconnected, so we cannot figure out who the caller was" ... after waiting a month before contacting the involved carriers.

The SIM card has a preset of preferred roaming networks, which your home provider may or may not update. Replacing SIMs every now and then may actually help with your roaming experience.

Funnily enough, as long as you are abroad in another EU member country, calling into any other EU member country is now regulated to count as "national".

Calling from your home country to another EU member country is not regulated and you'll pay the old long distance fees.

I did not like it using Git under the hood -- as the SparkleShare site mentions, it's not particularly good for storing "large" files (photos, etc.)

.at domains warning 14 years ago

Yes, the AT rules are unique.

No, Gandi doesn't have to just do nothing to warn you and let you sort it out afterwards.

They have at least two options upfront: - Do what the other large international registrars do: give a fuck about the rules and just cancel the domain. - Actually tell the customer two months before and get them to explicitly cancel the domain.

Or, option three: do nothing and just 'billwithdraw' the domain (this is what gives the domain back to nic.at to handle the renewal), causing lots of pain for the customer.

Not saying that the AT rules are super great, but most of the blame really is on Gandi here.

In reality, Ghandi is following the AT rules in a bad way - they are using the easy way out, instead of doing what's right.
