That is exactly what a sociopath would say isn't it? Without an actual study by a trusted institute I would highly question such claims.

More like: Musk denied appeal, will stay in prison.

I just did the update to 2025-Q2 (I use the quarterly stream build).

Initially I thought this is going to be a huge pain. I have many interfaces and also pass-through hardware like the SFP28 card. I made a copy of my primary router vm and added fake interfaces with the same MAC addresses. I then went through the update procedure which was very simple.

in vyos vm:

  wget https://community-downloads.vyos.dev/stream/1.5-stream-2025-Q2/vyos-1.5-stream-2025-Q2-generic-amd64.iso -o vyos-1.5-stream-2025-Q2.iso
  add system image /mnt/iso/vyos-1.5-stream-2025-Q2.iso
  # follow prompts
  reboot
  # boot screen will offer two version now, old and new

That was it and it worked. So from now on I know I can just take a snapshot of my vm and do it directly on the main vm without making a copy.

You do loose any custom configs you may have. In my case it was fstab changes and my cron entries.

I have a wireless backup[1] using Vyos[2] and a 5G router provided for free by the 5G service provider for those rare moments when both fiber links are dead.

At the same time I would never recommend anyone get 5G internet as their primary service if you have other options and especially not from one of these cheap providers.

I am confused, this is just a 5G router right? Like the 5 year old Huawei CPE Pro 2 but with wifi7, poe and eSim?

These regulations are very odd as the third/center break-light is a US thing that come into Europe.

The digital version over at https://map.geo.admin.ch/ has existed for many years but it is only a few years now that all Cantos have agreed to provide the data for free[1]. There is a lot of interesting data such as "Lärmbelastung" where you can lookup how loud car or rail traffic is at a location.

Because Google gave the best results for a long time.

How is OpenAI going to be able to serve ads in chatgpt without everyone immediately jumping ship to another model?

Sad to see open source communities being so insecure that they feel threatened by an alternative project. Both can coexist and competition is good.

Last time I checked I did not agree to be bombarded with ads and have all my data tracked after paying 100+ for a piece of software...

According to 20min[1], webland hosts 75’000 domains and is one of the larger hosting providers. In 2021 they were acquired by the Miss Group[2].

A lot of Swiss government services do not need to be available 247 outside of the country.

There is no need for the SBB (Swiss national railway) to use cloudflare or AWS when the same can be provided by a local provider that also has the ability to deal with large DDOS and cap off the outside when it comes down to the wire. It is more important for someone in Switzerland to be able to purchase a ticket than someone planning a trip from abroad.

I would be more concerned that many data centers in Switzerland are owned and operated by large foreign companies and some of their physical security is questionable. Not at all what you see in their ads and I would say you are only as secure as the least secure DC you have...

I am a bit confused how I would use this (maybe because I may not be your target audience?).

For example if I am coding with Kilocode and phpstorm. How would I use these microVms and what is the cloudflare worker for? I currently run a regular set of docker containers to run my code, how does this compare?

Some things just work, like paper ballots. No reason to re-invent the wheel or to "verschlimmbessern" what works.

We vote a lot in Switzerland on a lot of issues but we do so on paper ballots which we can either drop directly in the box or send in the post. When there is a close vote the maximum wait for a result is usually around 4-5 hours so that isn't really an issue either. Counting is a highly distributed effort and IMO that also reduces the risk for large scale fraud.

Can you provide a source?

How is this possible? Are they paying social media companies in foreign countries to do their posting?

I do notice it but then again my phone is quite old at this point.

If they fix the android battery issue (due to how notifications work) it would be a lot easier to get people to switch.

I hope the PR gets merged soon.

Many variants seem to be banned in Europe [1]

Nice, I still have my N900 but my provider here (Swisscom Switzerland) is killing 3G by the end of the year...

I want to switch to SimpleX Chat[1] but at the moment there are issues with battery usage on android devices because of the way notifications are done. I hope this[2] or some other solution get merged soon even if there is a slight impact on anonymity.

KiCad is awesome. Combined with git I have CI/CD pipeline in gitlab[1] that builds my fabrication files for the different fabs automatically including PiP and parts CSVs I can directly upload to LCSC. I also generate PDFs of the schematic and iBom[2] htmls files all automatically.

The thing I miss is being able to rotate a IC by 45 degrees.

Sorry but this segment is so full of shit. People who do not understand how LLMs work will think they the AI is actually "thinking" causing even more miss-understanding.

It is clear once again these companies are trying to build a moat with the help of government restricting anyone else from building AIs for their own profit.

Absolutely discussing how a tech that can truly advance human kind and x fold productivity is being stashed away for the profit of a few. All these productivity gains are going to go to the top and not for the common good. Shameful.

We are further away from a Star Trek kind of world than ever.

They yell "China is stealing our tech!" but want us to look away when they pirate everything ever created for their model training...

Interesting but what is th cost compared to the spectra 6?

You can't privatize what can't make money in itself. By that I mean, rail is beneficial to the entire economy of a country. This profit is not something a rail company can benefit from but a country can. Serving low traffic areas are a loss business but vital for a country to grow.

Same for fiber infrastructure, running fiber into a desolate town may not be profitable but giving the chance for some kid in that town to build the next unicorn from his home benefits the entire nation. Not all talent is in the cities.

No thank you.

I am glad that the first eID vote we had on this (in Switzerland) prevented private industry from issuing IDs etc.

What we have now (upcoming, after another vote) is an open source[1] non centralized eID issued by the government.[2]

Although there are still some problematic points (initial issuance software is not open source and who can ask for the ID is not limited enough) the solution we have now is the best way to do such a thing at this time.

The current US administration is not acting with logic nor reason. Switzerland is currently dealing with a 39% tariff for no reason. We are the 7th largest investor[1] in the United States with thousands of jobs and we are the worlds 3rd largest holder of US dollars[2].
