They do because that’s factually correct. But is it worth reporting that a government website reflects events?

It would be news in my opinion if there was an actual message behind it. But since there’s no warning, not even partial, it doesn’t carry political weight – which in my think the headline implies (though the article makes it clear that it’s not).

Basically, the headline can be reduced to “German agency does its job”

God, I hate this kind of news, it feels like it pops up every few months.

Germany issuing travel advisories is nothing newsworthy! They exist for basically every country (see https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/reise-und-sicherheitshinweise, German only) and are updated regularly. The only thing that would be noteworthy if the US suddenly appeared on the travel warnings page: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/10-2-8reisewarnungen, on which the only surprising country is Japan, and the warning refers to the areas still affected by the Fukushima nuclear reactor accident.

As another example, Canada which is a very safe country, also has formally issued travel advisories: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/kanada-node/kanadasicherheit-204874 though they basically only say “don’t worry”. But issuing an advisory is not what people might think it is.

Scarcity breeds innovation /s

Thanks, was wondering

You could also try replacing the steam lib with an emulator like https://mr_goldberg.gitlab.io/goldberg_emulator/

It’d be a waste of time anyways

It’s a cool shell, I use it as a daily driver (though I’m keeping a close eye on elvish which syntactically is even further away from classic shell), but the comments read like fish is basically zsh. And while zsh is pretty close to bash, fish isn’t.

Be aware that fish isn’t a POSIX-compatible shell enough, so you have to adjust syntax.

You can make up numbers all you want, at one point, someone has to foot the bill. This isn’t something like Tesla stock where people pay insane money for paper expecting it to just become worth more in the future, this is about physical goods that need to be purchased and operated. You can’t just hold it like stock or a fund. It deprecates and needs to turn a profit.

While operating at a real profit is already difficult enough, the issue sometimes is that they can’t be operated at all, me it because construction gets no permission or the infrastructure just isn’t there.

There are plenty nowadays from what I remember.

1. They save on the ARM licensing fees. I’m not sure about the details, but I believe it’s both a flat fee and cost per chip produced
2. They can freely add proprietary vendor extensions, which I’m not sure ARM allows
3. They’re less restricted in general chip design (I think ARM has restricted options in the last years, Apple has some special privileges as a founding member)

Anything but EU dictatorship /s

Note that while you’re statement is generally true, this particular case is about Hungary. Their current political party relies heavily on anti-EU rhetorics. So while for other countries, the issue is that they didn’t act sooner, Hungary has officially embraced Russian and US politics under Trump. But you cannot serve two masters…

pacman is very fast and handy. The (in)famous pacman -Syu had you system completely up to date in record time.

Sometimes I miss its speed and simplicity

I mean peertube exists, and it actually integrates into the fediverse…

I’m suddenly reminded of a certain South Park episode

Motherboards have risen in price over the years as well, you could have a very decent board at 150€ five years ago but today it feels like you need to pay at least 200 to get anything mid tier. I remember when I checked the price of my board that I bought early 2020 around 2023 or so, the price had gone up. But yeah, if you can’t put memory in your already expensive board, maybe you don’t need to buy a board on the first place.

I’m in the lucky position that my machine is still adequate (3900X / 32GB RAM / 1TB SSD) with only the GPU being weak (5500XT 8GB), but it doesn’t matter for the games I play. So I can sit out another two or three years.

We’ll see how it turns out - I don’t expect the current generative AI investors to make an RoI anytime soon. If at all.

Well, at least for nginx, you can specify the root (or alias if required) directive; to me, it makes very little sense to rely on defaults, you need to specify your servers / virtual hosts anyways, might as well make the configuration more self-documenting…

There’s also https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/linux_file_system_hierarchy/ nowadays, which aims to build on the FHS.

Well, /var/www is in fact not part of the FHS, not even optional… it doesn’t exist on my machines either. I think the better choice would be /srv/www which is an example given at https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch03s17.html
