Bavaria was a very agricultural heavy state, that made a few things right in the last few hounded years. Bavaria has like every over German state a long and rich independent history. Only Bavarian nationalists dream of an independent Bavaria. Hitler joined the NSDAP in Munich and it was one of it’s early strongholds. Most German cities were destroyed in WWII. Germany did not “pay” reparations, because they still had a lot of open dept from WWI. They paid with land, factories, infrastructure and forced labor. What the guide meant was probably the so-called “soli”. It is a special tax that was levied from former Westgerman states to support former GDR states, which did not develop as much under the socialist rule. That tax was and is controversial and was changed to nowadays only applie to richer people.

Bavaria was always a big state in german, that tries to play a special role. Especially their main party the CSU participated in German politics, while enforcing predominantly Bavarian Interests. These methodes were obviously anti democratic but only borderline illegal and forced the government to restructure the parliament.

So yea. I grew up in Bavaria and I get why most Germans are quite annoyed with bavarians.

It is the German Texas.

Isn’t that the tool that let’s you brute force weak encrypted containers? I remember saving my sister that got a pin secured container and the pin was coming over mail/on a different channel (she needed it as fast as possible)…

Well it was a 4 digit pin and my very old notebook took a few hours. Even less if my sister would have told me that it was a 4 digit nummeric pin and not alphanumeric.

So yea. Hashcat will be your friend. Afaik can also take guesses.

Do not remember the video but isn’t that the whole problem: LEDs like to be cooler. Bright pretty LEDs get hoter. People buy smaller prettier bulbs. Things have a tradeoff independent of price. A small bright LED that is in an enclosed space will not last long. Recommend buying pretty LEDs and using them without enclosure or buying dimmable and setting them to 50% on default.

And not buying the integrated shit.

If I remember correctly the power armor get’s better quickly while you need to wait a long time for a thruster suit upgrade.

At least I remember that my furthest (sadly abandoned) SE run had me carrying both suits and changing when in space. There are also modules to reduce your need for oxygen and improve your thruster speed. But things like lasers, shields etc are useless in space…

Less.

I was the guy with all my keys and fat wallet with all cards and phone + Multitool knife.

Then I got inspired by my sister that travels a lot and tries to optimize for what she REALLY needs.

First I realized that most of my wallet is useless. I started carrying a smaller flip style one with my most used cards and some cash.

Then I reduced my keys to a carabiner with sorted keysets on keyrings, so I carry only the needed ones. Home + bike + cellar for daily use. Home + family keys for vacations. Home for going out. Added a very small key knife and a bottle opener that is part of my daily driver but left when not needed/forbidden.

The current setup is a phonecaee with space for 4 cards and maybe 3-4 bills. And my key setup. Yes you have to remember to take some Special thing. But usually I have my old wallet in my backpack when traveling or when needed.

Sometimes less is more.

Yea it is crazy. Like most German ministries have their own mastodon Account and sprinkle in some news. And like some news channels have at least a Twitter relay.

Tech and scientists moved in big waves, so to be fair: I switched with the first waves and am fine. Yes I am using it less then I was using Twitter, but less social media is never bad.

Have a friend with drug issues. He visited with me another friend that worked for a non-profit and collected various things for a cause. Things like pain meds.

Not big enough to be a business. But enough to gift his friends some pain medications that could have been usefully for the recipients…

While I never used tiktok: why FB and not TikTok? Or did it get so much worse since I stopped using it 10 years ago?

Edit fb is terrible because boomers hunt for you there and the “everyone’s life is so fucking perfect” thing makes you depressive. Especially because it mostly shows you people you know in Reallife. But since everyone started sharing TikTok shit I have a feeling that it is:

• a social media, so everyone tries to be something they are not.
• the short content kills your attention span.
• the content makes you measurably more stupid (fucking YouTube shorts are the same)
• the algorithm get’s even more data, because it measures how you react to stuff and not only what you and others share
• controlled by the CCP, so I suspect some agenda (look up what TikTok is like in china, it is effectively another program (interesting and educational stuff mixed with chinese propaganda))
• still growing while fb is officially growing but like more and more people I know stopped using it. Could be bubble, could be that new markets are opening and some regions are declining, could be active users leaving but bots are being counted.

But that is just my opinion man…

Yea Love Ecco, too. They are pricy. But totally worth it. For 2-3 times the price you get shoes that last at least 2-3 times as long and are a hell of a lot more comfortable.

No expert, but another advantage of inflation is to create incentives to invest/spend money. With a deflation you are rewarding people that keep their money in a pillowcase. Which is probably bad.

Additionally there probably are some control structures to increase or decrease inflation, but they will bring their own cost with them. So controlling Inflation may be not controllable enough/not worth it to do so.

I mean didn’t they achieve that? Today a lot of things are web based. Firefox is a powerful browser. Especially on Android. So if you want you can have your OS in a browser thingy…

Be aware that Firefox Android supports addons. So maybe there is already a fix…

There is a project called Mozilla? Afaik it is the company name? What is it?

While GitHub can do a lot of funky stuff, a GitHub “repo” it is effictivly an project folder. So usually if you open a project (usually called “creatorname/Projectname”), there is a bunch of files. Below that is usually the documentation. It Is part of the project but GitHub is so nice to render it for you. Usually there should be an explanation what this project is and usually a rough explanation what to do with it. I say rough because depending on the popularity and the target audience you get everything from “download here for your OS” buttons to “adapt for your usecase compile with gcc and have fun”

As a user that is kind of it.

Above the files are usually a few tabs.

Code are the files. On the right side is this green button with “get the code” where you can download a zip. But you can usually open the files online and see the raw contents.

Issues are bugs people reported that are in various states or being fixed (or not).

Pull requests are people that contributed code and want the maintainer to review and hopefully integrate into the project.

GitHub uses git for cooperative development. but git is complicated, not necessary to use programs shared in github and while I can use it, I am far from proficient enough to explain it on the the internet.
