chrisper··on Company Update
Do you really think people buying a Tesla today will still drive the same car in 10 years?
chrisper··on Company Update
>Any time somebody already planned to replace their car

I highly doubt that the process of replacing a car does not result in a huge negative impact on the planet that has to be "paid off" over time through the gains of switching to an electric car.

Basically, don't you start in the negatives when replacing a car with an electric one?

I don't think it's launched. It's a demo.

It can happen in the US as well. All the cops have to do is put some drugs in your car while searching it.

chrisper··on Yellow vests knock out 60% of all speed cameras in France
You are assuming that everyone who gets caught by a camera is driving recklessly
chrisper··on Yellow vests knock out 60% of all speed cameras in France
Same in Switzerland. I honestly believe a true speed limit enforcement system would not be based on money, but rather points and after a certain amount of points you would not be allowed to drive for a month or something.
chrisper··on Yellow vests knock out 60% of all speed cameras in France
Your view is so naive that I won't even try to argue against it. Your argument only works if cameras weren't set up as traps.

Tricky speed cameras make people drive like robots. Some people even drive 20 below the speed limit "just because there could be a camera lurking." This problem isn't easily solved by "just sticking to the speed limit" because many cameras are set up such that they catch you when it isn't natural to drive at exact speed limit (For example shortly before a town ends, or driving up a steep hill etc.).

They would make the roads safer if they weren't used so often as money machines. Do they stand at schools? Nope. They stand at the bottom of the hill at the exit of a town.

I live in Switzerland so I have Sunrise.

I made my server near silent (it's basically just a desktop computer) but now the biggest noise comes from the disks. I can't stand the noise. Not sure how to make disks quiet though.

Well you probably need to have some basic ideas of computers. Then the rest is just lots of googling and trying out etc.

You can also just use VMs for this.

chrisper··on One Year in San Francisco as a Software Engineer
I lived in the South Bay for ~5 years while I was going to university there. I liked it, but also hated it.

People everywhere, bad drivers, lots of arrogance etc, but now looking back there many great moments that I kind of miss.

One of them is that I loved travelling and exploring in the US. There is just always something to do. Also you meet nice people almost everywhere. So it was quite easy to make friends instantly.

If the visa situation wasn't so bad, I think I'd go back now that I took a break from the Bay Area Craziness.

To me living in Europe makes more sense (more stable and secure), but life in the US is somehow more fun. That is until you run out of money (be it because of medical bills or because you got sued...)

chrisper··on Windows file access performance compared to Linux
I think it does because the difference adds up quickly with large projects
chrisper··on Windows file access performance compared to Linux
Same. I changed to cygwin for my git workflow because WSL is just too slow.
chrisper··on [dead]
I lived in the Bay Area for 5 years as well. I live in Europe now. Some of what is said in this blog post is a bit harsh. But overall I agree with it.

Personally, the more I was there the less I enjoyed it. Probably because over time I started to see all the flaws.

Though, there are things that I miss. For one the openess of Americans. It's just so easy to make friends there. And the other is all the yummy fast food like In n Out or Chic Fila. Finally, I enjoy the natural landscape of the US much more.

Yes if you put your services into VMs.

You are right. Nothing better than a company using your private messages for targeted ads!

Thanks for all the downvotes for a normal question, kind people.

I see thanks. I guess it wasn't clear to me because I only use them on my Android.

Does this have anything to do with Brave Browser? It's not quite clear to me.

Yes. That's exactly my issue. Often they also only have English in Stereo.
chrisper··on Netflix’s Movie Blitz Takes Aim at Hollywood’s Heart
This assumes you are in a region Hollywood approves of. And even then often not all languages are available. Some movies even become available much later than in the US for example.

So far piracy is still more convenient and accessible even if I am willing to pay for movies and TV shows. Good thing it's legal in my country.

I think the issue is also that for a long time (or still is?) it was Ubuntu only.

LXD is amazing. It replaced most VMs in my homeserver setup.
