Yes, they do - but it requires both client support and server support to work. Older servers can’t do it, and for example the provided openssh version with windows doesn’t support it either. And adding GPG keys to a yubikey may be interesti

I think you’re misreading my post. I’m not saying that this isn’t happening, often with nefarious reasons. I’m saying that this is a man made decision and it can be changed by another man made decision. It’s not a natural law, but people of

The expenses for federal roads are about 1/2 or 1/3 of all road costs. City roads costs are a bit hard to come by, but are in the same ballpark as the Autobahn, and I could not find a good number for Landstraßen, which would be pa

Only once, when the road is built, ongoing maintenance is paid from general taxes.

That’s a tax that goes to the federal government only. It pays for federal roads (Autobahn and Bundesstraße) and badly at that - the latest numbers I could find are for 2018 and there, expenses were above 10 billion euros. (1) State roads a

This is a distinctively US feature. SEPA transfers cost (next to) nothing, and the IBAN has a checksum, so entering a single digit wrong will get the transaction rejected.

I have no love for bitcoin, but I always hate this comparison. It’s useless. Sweden uses much more energy than it uses power (as pretty much every country) and it also exports power usage by buying finished products. Why is the power usage

So it’s still as it was when I last set it up: everything is there, but it requires fiddling. I’m using a similar setup right now. One place where Linux has the better experience.

Fundamentally, if you can’t listen to people that are wrong on one thing, then there’s nobody you can listen to. Everyone is wrong on one thing at least, everyone is inconsistent. A lot of people advocating for nuclear power still eat meat,

I buy one of the Demeter-certified brands of milk. It’s just the best you can buy, taste wise if you ask me. It still irks me that I have to choose between good milk from ethically raised cows and not supporting belief in magic.

Fundamentally, the ritualistic behavior harms belief in science. Doing things because we believe in magic of any kind is fostering belief in other magic - for example healing by similar magic, the roots for both go back to Rudolf Steiner.
