why is this posted here?

Normally yes, but this is the Suez canal moment for US. I think countries stopped caring about US especially in the last year and starting reducing dependence on US economically and politically. So, the unpredictable Trump may try to do something dramatic. China will be the biggest winner of this all.

yeah, I think this will escalate further and US might drop a tactical one on some island (military but not heavily inhabited) as a show of power. I don't see a way back out otherwise for US.

Thanks, you can now click on the legend item e.g "Visa free" and it shows only those countries.

fixed now, thanks

ah, im using some open source dataset which doesnt have this latest info yet. i'll patch it.

is that a weird way of adding headcount, my company also does that by anthropomorphizing AI agents and I find it weird. I'd find it natural to call it a 2 person startup (whether you use 1 agent or 100 agents)

I completely agree. I have been living here for 8 years, and recently applied for a permanent settlement permit.

My application went into a blackhole for more than 4 months, while my existing permit expired, essentially making me a prisoner here (I can stay and work in Germany but if I travel internationally, I won't be allowed entry back).

Meanwhile, my applications for a temporary travel permit were unanswered for months. There is no way to contact the foreign office (no email, no telephone, no fax). You just send your application and pray.

I strongly advise anyone to stay away from Germany if you have better options. This country is a bureaucratic nightmare in general.

I think even if the percentage uptime is less on a self hosted one, at least you get more control over when to upgrade systems (perhaps in the evenings / weekends) with less impact to the devs.
