Most German energy imports are actually from Denmark, which is mostly wind energy [1]. Gas now mostly comes from Norway. [2]

Don't know why you say we rely on France or even the US and the middle east?

Oh wow. I really love the drawn style of those!

Great video explaining this in some more detail: https://youtu.be/mxqOPdEUNTs

Been doing exactly this for years. Don't know why I'd need a CLI to switch back and forth. Once cloned using the alias and you never have to worry about it again.

It‘s build right into the software to move your account and take all content and even followers with you: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/user/moving/

U2F has been supported for a while: https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/securing-your-acco...

But if you see that an employee in SF makes 120k, and an employee in Berlin makes 90k, for the same role, you can calculate the "location factor" they are using, and as this is proprietary (as per the previous comment), that data cannot be published

Since January 11th, 2022 you could no longer generate new git.io links (See [0]). If this feature is used "all the time", you should have gotten problems in the last 4 months.

The team from 1password did a nice writeup, when they introduced storing TOTP in their password manager.

Gist is: Most people treat TOTP as a second, time based password (multi step authentication) instead of a second factor. If you truly want 2nd factor, you should never sync your passwords to the phone you are using as 2FA, and never use your passwords on the phone you are using as 2FA.

So it depends on your own security concerns if you want to treat TOTP as a true second factor or as a secondary, time based password only.

Not sure about France, but next door in Germany we try to put multiple elections on the same date, because organizing the polling stations is always the most expensive thing.

So it's not uncommon to have some of city mayor, city council, regional, state and federal and European elections fall onto the same date. I think the "worst" I've seen as a volunteer was 4 elections on the same day.

Counting process starts by splitting the ballots (if we have all of them in one urn), and then counting and tallying them one election at a time. The ballots are distinguished by different colored paper.

One voting district is usually around ~1000 voters, out of those, before Covid ~10-20% did mail-in-voting, during Covid it was ~40-50%. Then with a normal voter turnup of around 60-70% depending on the elections that are held, we end up with a few hundred ballots to count per election, with a staff of normally 8 people... Polling stations close at 6pm, and the latest I have left the voting station after counting was 8:30pm.

If you‘re able to understand German, one of the programmers, that‘s also shown in the making of, also did an almost 4 hour long podcast interview where they unroll the real story: https://cre.fm/cre222-terravision

> Attacking that will just mean the alternative is calling the doctors' reception manually and hoping to get through, and then giving up all medical confidentiality to the receptionist instead...

Talking to a receptionist of a doctor‘s office (that are bound by confidentiality) is a completely different thing than one huge private company collecting data from all doctor‘s offices

+1 ... I was also expecting the guide book, how to use or create the IBM logo :D

The interesting thing is, that in Germany Microsoft and Deutsche Telekom used to have a set up, where you could buy O365 hosted by Telekom, without Microsoft (as a US company) having access to the data if they are asked for it, via the Cloud Act.

But as they had many integration problems, they stopped offering this service in 2018[1] (German).

I think looking at GDPR and Schrems2 requirements, this would have been a viable model.

There's some context in a GH issue: https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem/issues/32

The fee is up to 4% of facebooks annual worldwide revenue ... That would be ~2bn $

Thanks, but I will trust medical professionals more than a random developer know-it-all on the internet.

I remember reading this a while back. So true https://medium.com/@timbuchwaldt/rails-is-boring-thats-great...

I am also very happystill to spin up `rails new` for every little side project

I was always a fan of XTree[1], was always more intuitive to me than norton commander.

Still have the shortcuts in muscle memory `xtg` for the win

Thanks for the clarification!

As your edit already states, not the point I was trying to make, but still, good to clear this up.

There was interesting discussion yesterday by the devs of mediasoup, why it is not in webRTC yet: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22761816

... unless you self-host the server. What you can do with jitsi, but not with zoom.

Always check the [buyers guide](https://buyersguide.macrumors.com/) before buying Apple stuff :)

What I have done in the past:

Scroll down a couple of days/pages/whatever and then use Ctrl+F. It‘s annoying as hell, but that usually works as most pages just add stuff at the bottom and don‘t unload the previous content on top

This story comes up once every few months if we get a really, really weird bug request from support. Issues like „the customer says, the app automatically buys something while he is sleeping. Please investigate where our app has automatic buying“ and we just sit there and stare at this in awe

From what you are posting here it sounds like you have not done much market research on the field you are entering.

Also, at that point it was not this global number that was used to identify you everywhere. It was your registration number in the Social Security system, not more. Well, you could use it to pay into somebody else‘s pension ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Aomebody linked a CGP Grey video above that goes into details.

I know the "free" price tag seems nice at first. How did you calculate in the cost for:

- maintaining and updating your servers

- updating the free software

- backups

- recovering from backups in situations where your servers fail?

I don't think you get that for free? If you consider those costs, the price tag for a hosted solutions becomes more and more reasonable.

There are markets for cars that have higher speed limits. Or none at all

I think having around 10.000 viewers at a time and the donations and subs coming in is helping ;)

Slack already confirmed that they are not vulnerable: https://twitter.com/SlackHQ/status/995444608002875392
