Another problem with BTC is the extremely high transfer costs. Donating XMR directly makes smaller donations viable, while BTC is only attractive for large donors.

Notable mention of Mozilla being a Platinum sponsor.

Konservativ ≠ Rechts. Merkel ist mMn. der SPD näher als der AfD. Die AfD ist rechts, zumindest teilweise rechtsextrem, während die CDU größtenteils Konservativ ist. Va. während Merkels Parteivorsitz.

Die Lösung wären Sensoren an der Ampel, die Verkehrsteilnehmer erkennen. Falls nur an einer Seite Verkehrsteilnehmer sind, könnte zügig umgeschaltet werden.

Ja. Der Real-o-Mat ist ein guter Realitätscheck zusätzlich zum Wahl-o-mat.

Gleichzeitig haben bei mir die Parteien bei beiden ähnlich abgeschnitten.

Ich gehe davon aus, dass die FDP durch ihre Regierungsbeteiligung bei vielen Abstimmungen gleich wie Grüne und SPD abgestimmt haben. Selbst wenn sie bei alleiniger Entscheidung leicht anders entschieden hätten. Das gilt natürlich auch für SPD und Grüne.

Nicht alle Waldorfschüler und deren Eltern sind Schwurbler. Ich kenne in meinem Bekanntenkreis genug (ehemalige) Waldorfschüler/deren Eltern, die keinen besonderen Hang zu Blödsinn aufweisen.

Gerade die Sympathisanten sind nicht durch absolute Ablehnungshaltungen zu überzeugen. Zumindest die, mit denen ich bisher Kontakt hatte, ließen mit sich reden.

Taxes aren’t collected for a specific purpose. Any tax can be used for any purpose a state sees fit (e.g. income tax may be used for infrastructure, schools or defense).

The “Rundfunkbeitrag” is a purpose-bound fee which can only be used for the public service broadcasting.

Edit: It’s a mandatory fee like you’re forced to pay for waste disposal. Not a tax.

There’s a few german torrent sites with open applications.

Höhere Lebensmittelkosten treffen auch die, die nicht in Markenklamotten herumlaufen. Unabhängig vom Einkommen dürften die meisten Menschen ähnlich viel Essen.

Great comment!

There’s similar legal issues with the “right to a private copy” many European countries have. Those laws were made to allow people to make a copy of their media, in case the original breaks. Important to note is that those private copies weren’t allowed to be distributed to anyone, not even lent to a friend.

This worked well at the time for cassettes and VHS, which did break occasionally.

But at some point most CDs came with copy protection, which got broken pretty quickly. But at least in Germany, they are still considered “working copy protection” and thus are illegal to circumvent, even for a otherwise legal private copy.

The same is the case with Switch games: Copyright owners use copy protection to make otherwise legal use cases illegal.

E.g. Nintendo made it so that Switch games can only be played by decrypting the ROMs, which is illegal for anyone except Nintendo.

At least that’s their standpoint which was never tested in court but it’s not unlikely that it’d be accepted.

You’d need a second Signal instance. There’s only global privacy options.

You could write a s script which follows jellyfin logs line for line and greps/seds/awks for a keyword corresponding to starting playback. Then you could extract the file path.

It’s also likely that it’s possible to start your specific scheduled task by API like the following [1].

PS: I don’t know whether it’s possible to run a scheduled task for a specific file only. But I’ve already written the above anyway.

Good point. I’ll have to stop using immutable and stay with atomic (and declarative).

Interestingly /bin and /usr/bin are not in PATH by default, so /bin/chewy can only be executed by its path directly and won’t affect the systems reliability.

Fully agreed. On almost any atomic distro, /home/user is writeable like usual, so any attacker is able to persist itself by editing ~/.bashrc and putting a binary somewhere.

NixOS is immutable and atomic, but it isn’t image-based.

Immutable simply refers to how the running system configuration can’t be changed by simply putting a file somewhere (e.g. copy a binary to /bin, which is a bad idea).

For example, Fedora Atomic and derivatives are image based, although they are more flexible than the A/B types like SteamOS.

OpenSUSE MicroOS uses btrfs snapshots to apply updates atomically, and is more flexible than most image based immutable distros.

Edit: But I don’t think those terms have a single definition, so how would you differentiate these terms?

There’s pretty much a single DP -> HDMI adapter that supports VRR by Cable Matters. Officially I don’t think VRR should work over adapters, or at least other manufacturers don’t invest the time to make it work.

MPV also supports pipewire.

Official support for any distro is not that important, imo. If they actually deliver a native GeForce NOW app for SteamOS, it’ll likely work on other distros too (unless Nvidia actively blocks them/only supports Steam Deck controls specifically).

Hopefully they’ll release the app on Steam directly, or better yet, to flathub. If they only release a script to install it specifically on the Steam Deck, like the beta script they currently have, I’ll be disappointed.

Because YouTube pays Louis Rossmann, compared to selfhosting video which costs tremendous amounts of money through bandwidth.
