Isn't that what (liability) insurance is for?

(if there's anything Germans like as much as bureaucracy it's insurance)

Every kWh your panels make from sunlight that you use immediately (or store "behind the meter"), you don't have to buy from the grid.

And not buying something tends to be cheaper than buying :)

Seconds per token is just fractional tokens per second ;)

Traceroute goes through `.ftth.glasoperator.nl` routers though.

Is it fully custom, or are they using a flavor of OpenStack or similar?

240 = 2 x 120, or 4 x 60 (or 8 x 30)

Wouldn't that leave ways to do "phone phreaking" style attacks, because it's an in-band signal?

I've seen people brag about it in their resumes, so I assume it helps them find (better paying?) work.

This kind of id mapping works as a mount option (it can also be used on bind mounts). You give it a mapping of "id in filesystem on disk" to "id to return to filesystem APIs" and it's all translated on the fly.

It's called us-east-1?

Llamas are hot again.

printf("Got here, x=%u"\n", x);

the trains fail with current amount of public funding, I wonder if less funding will improve the situation" is not good logic

Tell that to the current government (and most of the previous governments in recent years).

You can't put money into it! Guess NS will just have to increase ticket prices _again_.

Minecraft ships it I think?

Tell that to the right-wing nutjobs who all want their "<country code>XIT"

Familiarity, convenience and habit.

Familiarity: "I've used MS Word/Excel/Teams before so I can use it here"

Convenience: "We have MS Entra, might as well go all-in"

Habit: "We never really investigated alternatives, this is just what 'everyone' uses."

IBM PS2?

To the end user, this looks exactly the same as "updating".

If replacing a "regular" program that's just an executable and then restarting it is "updating", why isn't it the same for containers? Except theb the "executable" is the container image and the "running program" is the actual container.

Another level would be "immutable" distributions: would you say they don't "update", they just "download a fresh image to boot from"?

In the Netherlands, bike lights _must not_ flash. The law very explicitly states that they need to be "always on" (in the dark).

The main reason seems to be that it's hard for others to to gauge your speed when your lights are flashing.

This probably explains why paying for street parking in Cologne by phone/web didn't work (eternal spinner) then

Motherboard audio started to become more common with the AC'97 spec/standard.

So that makes sense.

This is getting a lot better with Flatpaks and Wayland (and its "portal" system to access resources).

The Energy Star logo tended to be made up of custom characters in text mode.

"Asking consent" is the popup that comes up to ask you if you'd like to be tracked.

"Opt-in" is an option hidden somewhere in your "user preferences" page you have to actively go looking for.

Sadly, yes.

The "S" in AI stands for "security".

Living expenses for the devs?

I think there are similar rules (or there will soon be) in all of Europe.

The Grenfell tower fire comes to mind regarding flammable cladding. Not "new" but "renovated".

It killed more than 70 people.
