Codeberg is run by a German association, which defines its role in the bylaws to support FOSS (§2 in the bylaws). You can use their software Forgejo to run your own server.

Just because the government does something, doesn't mean it has to be centralised. Eventually the care has to be given from one human to another human. On the other hand, it shouldn't matter where you live to receive care or how good the care is.

And the week in which private companies will be able to provide this, is the same week which has two Tuesdays.

My argument is, that care is a public good. There will never be a situation in which care can fund itself. To fund care is a political decision and when the decision is made to to not fund it or leave to a market or private enterprises it will fail, because private enterprises need something which will eventually scale.

This is one reason why we have a state, which collect taxes and can provide those services.

That is why we can't have nice things.

1 and 2. there are tires which are less likely to flat, e.g. the Schwalbe Marathon Plus.

2. a well maintained bicycle is very reliable, even if it is older

3. yeah, it is like walking. get a rain coat when your forecast says it might rain.

4. my advice get a hub dynamo to power your lights, never worry about charged batteries again. flash mode is not a good idea, also illegal in some places. helmets are overrated and are essentially victim blaming. But I get where is this coming from, instead of building a safe infrastructure the cities put the responsibility to be safe on the bicycle rider.

5. get a better sattle, never really had an issue.

6. very much depends on the place, in my town I'm as fast as a car on many daily routes, simply because I can use more direct routes.

7. what kind of bicycle are you using? everyday bicycles shouldn't do that, a good bicycle let's you ride w/o backpain. maybe your bicycle is too small or too big for you, they are not a one size fits all kind of thing.

It is not about becoming a "biker" or "cyclist" it is about that a bicycle is a good mode of everyday transportation and a very much less harmful one for cities. Not just in the Netherlands.

hub gears with a belt instead of a chain was a big reason for my current bicycle. Also having a hub dynamo (which is/should be standard nowadays) a nice thing.

Maybe an analogue VGA cable connection wasn't the worst idea

I'm really confused about those overdraft fees (or rather overdraft interests). My bank has also charges overdraft interests, they are currently 6.99% p.a. So if I get into overdraft due to one payment but money comes in on the very same day it shouldn't be that much interest I have to pay to the bank.

For an overdraft of 100 euros it should be like 2 cents for a day.

I wonder what will inspire Zuckerberg for the name. Google founders Page and Brin were apperantly inspired by the ABC-Straße in Hamburg, where the German Google offices are located.

Portability is important, a 17" notebook is not really a notebook for me.

I used to submit bug reports for things I found in macOS or any other applications, like that Pages would include a huge picture in the files for no reason at all. But those bug reports would usually be closed and "linked" to another bug report you don't have access to. Essentially shutting you out. At some point you just give up. At some point bugs are getting fixed but there is no pattern to it.

I asked and no, this device does not support SMB or SFTP. So it is worthless for me.

I currently use an Synology DS116, a small and simple NAS which I mostly use to backup my Mac via Time Mashine but I can't even find if this is supported on such a machine. It seems it is an NAS but without the being called a NAS, e.g. I haven't found anything about SMB or SFTP support.

Love how during the presentation suddenly a chat window appeared while I still was paying attention to the presentation, I had to refocus to deal with that one. At first I thought it was part of it but it wasn't. I'm not sure if the person pays attention to their own advice.
