12.5/8=1.5625, so the Euro price went up by 56.25%

I have been using it for the last 3 months to expose services from my home internet (plex, wireguard, etc.) through a VPS and I’m pretty happy with it. It’s relatively simple to set up, I haven’t had any outages so far, and it’s nice that it supports UDP port forwarding as well as TCP (for wireguard).

You could go even further and use hard links. That way, you can have two paths pointing to the same data on the partition, with the space getting cleaned up only after all references to it are removed.

Mir ist schon klar, dass das Wahlwerbung für die Piraten ist.

Ich wäre halt eher davon überzeugt geworden, die Piraten zu wählen, wenn sie mir das Gefühl geben, dass sie die Themen differenziert durchleuchten und mir keine Meinung vorgeben. Wenn dann trotzdem noch eine große Übereinstimmung rausgekommen wäre, hätte mich das mehr beeindruckt.

So finde ich es eher problematisch, durch Anspielung an den Wahl-o-mat dessen guten und unabhängigen Ruf dafür auszuleihen, um eine ähnlich aussehende Werbeaktion zu machen.

An sich ganz coole Initiative, aber ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass die Fragen weniger suggestiv und eher neutraler formuliert wären bzw auch Gegenargumente bei der Abstimmung erwähnt werden. So wie es jetzt funktioniert, ist es dann nicht überraschend, wenn man bei Themen, wo man sich selber nicht so auskennt, dann ähnlich wie die Piraten abstimmt.

As another German, I can confirm that the “first e in mesmer” way is how Germans would pronounce it. See for example 11seconds into this German video also officially from SUSE’s YouTube channel - a SUSE employee and German native speaker who is moderating a series of talks is using that pronunciation.

It’s just a tiny mistake that most Germans are used to hearing Americans make all the time (see also Porsche which is also not pronounced porsh, nor por-shay, but porsh-eh) and will politely ignore, but since this aims to be an educational video, should be pointed out to be slightly incorrect

Hey URL, go and fetch your friend JSON!

Makes perfect sense.

I’m surprised that the post does not mention switching to Firefox or any other privacy tool other than their privacy badger, e.g. no mention of uBlock Origin.

I’m pretty happy with Digital Ocean if I need a temporary VPS because I can pay by the minute and the UI is great. Anything that I want to stay alive for more than a month or two, I do on a single 6-core VPS rented long-term from Netcup, a low-cost German provider, deploying with Docker and Traefik.

Right! The last I remember hearing the “closed source is more secure” argument was about fifteen years or so ago, so it’s surprising that it is being pulled up from the dead.
