I wonder how unlimited such cheap unlimited connections really are. In the simplest case insufficient capacity in the provider network might become a bottleneck. They might notice that you are the noisiest one in the whole neighboorhood and

Yes, perfectly doable, but the expertise and time needed to do it (without fatal mistakes) and keep it running 365 days a year is non-negligible. Doing this by unpaid volunteers is more than challenging.

I live in a country where a unique identify number exists (social security number). People that understand something about information security would know that knowledge of a primary key is not authentication. It has not deterred the govern

If a reliable primary key exists, it can easily be misused for many purposes: On the more benign side replace the Android Advertisement ID. On the malign side registering political opinions of citizens. I don't want to live in such soc

In Germany it is. Nobody else but government offices (federal, state, county, municipal) is allowed to use them. E.g. employers have access to them, but still they are legally required to only use an internal employee number for their inter

The law is not. But the press release you linked just promised bright future without giving any somewhat nuanced information. Mentioning the number of 584 (whatever it was...) authorities might sound like detail. But it it's completely

That's "propaganda" by the ministery, not answering many questions. They only claim that all government administration will become digital, smooth, and much cheaper. Is it allowed to use the Steuer-ID for non-government purpo

The usage of the Rentenversicherungsnummer is strictly limited by law, basically to pension-related administration. It cannot be legally used for general purpose. The Steuerindentifikationsnummer used to be strictly limited to tax purposes.
