No, it can't stop in place. It drops its payload on a parachute quite accurately.

This isn't so much systemd's fault, but more one of POSIX/Linux. Processes aren't spawned without any privileges at all and then get them assigned selectively (thats what's done on Fuchsia/Zircon: https:/

Exactly this. I've been repairing my own bikes for as long as I can think, but I wouldn't touch a bike's battery with an (insulated) 3m pole.

I haven't seen a single competitive SBC with a comparable stuff stack. It either needs constant updates by the vendor (as the RPi) or simply upstreamed open-source drivers.

Inheritance tax is not about taking it all away. It's about heavily texting everything beyond a reasonable amount. Even if you could at max inherit "just" a million Euro, that be much more than enough to start a comfortable l

When there's proper public transport in place, cars aren't needed. Trains for medium/long distances, busses for medium/short distances, bikes for short distances and a pair of feet for everything else. Beyond a certain n

It might be worth a try to run Caddy, which supports zstd out of the box (the only webserver which does so to my knowledge), in front of an uncompressed store to see whether on-the-fly encoding/compression is feasible. https:/&#x

If parking would be left to "the market", no one would do it within city limits. Parking spaces are heavily subsidized. In Germany, until recently the costs for a residential parking spot were capped at strong 35€/year or so.

Why spend 5-10% on subsidized rent when you can easily spend 30-40% on the American dream of car-dependent cookie-cutter suburbia?

At least in Baden-Württemberg, most regional trains (and even some busses) I've used so far have WLAN nowadays.

You're out of luck, if none of the route segments is served by Deutsche Bahn (which is often the case for regional routes), because then you'll be unable to buy your ticket using the most common nation-wide app DB Navigator.

For every OpenSource project I donate to, I check, whether they provide a SEPA IBAN, then I just set up a monthly transfer of a small amount that I can afford instead of a bigger single donation. Whenever possible, I try to avoid any instan

"Throw out C, D, E since they all sound like B, keeping only A, B, F from the first version. Then add in the other visually- and phonetically-distinct letters: H, I, L, M, Q, R, U, W, X, Y." This encodes region-specific assumption
