normally Europeans keep to the right

This clearly demonstrates that, should the United Kingdom ever re-apply for membership in the European Union, not only will it have to adopt the Euro and the metric system, but also switch to right-hand traffic. 🙃

amid reports that the US president wants major travel landmarks named after him

There is a number of landmarks, streets, or places in Germany that are no longer named after Adolf Hitler. But they had to get rid of him first, of course …

Would also be a good time to switch to the metric system and right-hand traffic.

Interestingly, Walmart tried the opposite direction in the late 1990s: establishing itself on the German market. After less than 10 years and an estimated loss of $1 billion, they withdrew completely. There are numerous articles and videos about this topic, simply search for “Walmart Germany loss”.

This suggests being a Republican is not a genetic trait.

I can only hope that the A.I. bubble bursts in time when I need to buy a new computer.

Especially true for pregnant women.

Remember, Google is not alone:

Wasn’t Zelenskyy shopping for 100–150 Swedish JAS Gripen only a few weeks ago? Eager to modernize the air force with European planes, I guess.

I have it on my Bingo card that he will dump her in the post-Trump power struggle in order to improve his standing with the MAGA base. Maybe pick Erika Kirk instead. That would be a MAGA dream team …

As a historic example, Nazi concentration camps had people like Josef Mengele a.k.a the Angel of Death.

Taiwan is a major center for chip manufactoring and development. Being a vital supplier for the U.S., Taiwan was protected by the U.S. as far as possible without openly disagreeing with mainland (communist) China. One could argue that Taiwan’s chip industry has essentially protected the island from being invaded or nuked by mainland China. Without their advantage in chips and implied cover by the U.S. military, Taiwan would be under direct threat by mainland China “unification”.

Would be nice if it supported more languages and layouts.

I had a very similar problem as @Toralv@lemmy.world a few weeks ago. I repurposed a small, fanless x86 desktop computer as my new router. It has only one RJ45 port and due to its small size cannot be extended with a proper network card. As it has an unused USB3 port, I acquired a cheap Realtek-based USB3-to-RJ45 ‘adapter’ as the second network interface. It works without any further issues in Linux (Arch) and has no problems to handle Gbps traffic.

For the router configuration, I am using ‘nftables’ instead of ‘iptables’, as the former is supposed the successor of the latter. I only used the new nftables configuration, but there are wrappers available so that one can continue to use iptables syntax if desired.

For network configuration, I am using systemd’s networkd. Check systemd.network(5): Configuration option ‘IPMasquerade’ takes care of telling nftables/iptables to setup masquerading (rendering the iptables invocation @thebardingreen@lemmy.starlightkel.xyz exemplified unnecessary), options ‘IPv4Forwarding’ and ‘IPv6Forwarding’ renders manually changing ‘/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward’ unnecessary.

systemd’s networkd has a built-in DHCP server; check option ‘DHCPServer’ and section ‘DHCPServer’ for that (same man page as above). This way you can skip installing/configuring a separate DHCP server, but systemd’s DHCP server has some limitations, such as only supporting DHCPv4 and lack of proper command line tools. For example, to retrieve the list of current leases, you would have to make a dbus call to networkd, e.g. via busctl or dbus-send.

Bridges can also be configured with systemd’s networkd, making a separate bridge tool unnecessary. Rather straight-forward with three small configuration files, telling networkd that you want to have a bridge, its name (e.g. br0), its MAC address, which NICs will be part of the bridge, and the bridge’s configuration like a NIC itself (e.g. static IP address, that the networkd’s DHCP server shall listen here, …).

Sounds like gagh.

I fear many won’t understand the reference here.
