Understandably, yes.

Will they also have lines of tank traps, nicely covered by hedges, and “villas” where the windows are always shuttered, like the Swiss have them?

I use my former PC as the home server. It is probably 10+ years old, has no M2 slot or something, but an SSD for the OS. More than big and fast enough for all my needs: File service (Samba), Web service (apache2), Wiki service (mediawiki), Database (MySQL), Calendar service (Radicale), Project service (Subversion), and probably some others I forgot. All of it running on Ubuntu Server, aministrated by WebMin.

The only investment I did when I turned this into a server was that I put 2x8TB in it as a RAID for bulk storage - I dump the family PCs backups on that machine, too.

Some areas will be hit with a double whammy: Unemployed due to Trump playing tariff roulette, and then no social security.

One has to give it to Canada, China, and the EU: They know where it hurts.

If their whole financial system is built on getting the next paycheck or else, this is quite to be expected. He might even be smart (for a magahead) putting it on the market as early as possible instead of clinging to it.

In my generation, a “fag” was a leftover of a cigarette.

There are places where they have trees all around their houses. Like in California, where they just had been more fuel to the fires.

Many years ago, I learned that the average household only has five books. Looking at my library of more than ten thousand books, I realized that to reach that average, our family basically deprives a small town of their books. A depressing thought.

Definitely. We lived in an old house without central heating, and I know what hunger is. My father died when I was a kid, after a long sickness, and taking care of him and us kids took a lot out of mum.

Now I can support my family from my income, with both kids at unversity without debts.

Yes, we are better off. But the way to here and now was hard.

His game took him long enough to come to fruition.

Ich sage: NEIN!

Zieh’ dir 'ne Hose an, wenn du raus gehst. Damit liegt man nie verkehrt.

But according to those who make politicians make the law, it’s the good carbon.

Meine Arme, ihr wisst schon!

Good question. I did the math once. Assuming the best possible parameters, for getting all the aviation fuel out of renewable resources, we would have to turn every piece of agricultural land - gardens, fields, orchards, forests, winyards, meadows - in our country into perpetual rapeseed fields. And would still have to import stuff.

No docker. Plain executable.

You need this for your family, and not hundreds of people? No crazy, outlandish usage requirements?

Then basically any PC will do.

I do regularly have issues with radicale, for years now. One is that it does not work properly after boot. I have to SSH in, kill the radicale process, and restart it.

Merkel time is over. The current CDU leader is a man owned by the chemical industry. The “C” is ancient history. The whole political spectrum in the US is so far right, a Republican party would end up under the feds scrutiny here, just like the AfD is.

Actually, a German “Republican party” was declared illegal a few years ago, and you need shitloads of evidence to do something like in Germany.

Just wait until they expand this again, permitting kids 12 and up to do sex work…

Jokes on him. What he sees as German conservatives is mostly in line with US Democrats. The German version of the Republicans are the AfD, the Nazi party.
