Wie wär’s dann mal mit Bahn-Ausbau und schnellem Internet in der Peripherie?

First downvote of the entire thread for me.

Never have I ever bought a new smartphone, PC, or laptop.

I can’t wait for kerneld, desktopd and shelld, so I can finally run a fully systemd system.

Arch is stupid, though.
I use Arch, by the way.

Mir hat ein Jäger mal erklärt, dass es Tierquälerei ist, wenn man zulässt, dass sich Wölfe wieder ansiedeln.
Weil deren Beutetiere viel mehr leiden, wenn sie von einem Wolf getötet werden, als wenn ein Jäger sie erschießt.

root beer has absolutely nothing to do with beer though, apart from the name.

A firewall by default blocks everything coming from outside going in (without being requested).
Firewalls can also block traffic going out from your PC to the internet. In a company where you need to protect against data exfiltration by employees, and as a last resort safeguard against malware communicating with outside servers, you want that. In that case, a security expert makes a detailed plan of all installed software, to determine what needs to connect from which internal IP to which external IP over which port. Then all other outbound traffic is blocked. This needs to be adjusted constantly, every time a new software is installed or an update changes a software’s requirements. It’s a full-time job.

On a home PC running Linux, that’s absolute overkill. There are no untrusted users in your home and you’re probably not the target for a directed attack by skilled actors. So just leave ufw on default, which blocks all inbound traffic and allows all outbound.

Root beer is alcohol free.

I like that it goes up to 11.

I was actually approached by a hooker there.
After I told her I only had 10€, she said that’s OK.
Luckily in that moment, my big head did the thinking.

Du bist an einem Punkt angekommen, an dem du dich fragen solltest, ob die Prioritäten in deinem Leben wirklich richtig gesetzt sind.

It’s less than the cost of our cybersecurity insurance, which will probably drop us on a technicality when the day comes.
And it’s not entirely an economic decision. The paper is family-owned in the 3rd generation, historically relevant as one of the oldest papers in the country, and absolutely no one wants to be the one in charge when it doesn’t print for the first time ever.

Or rather to find out if you can.

I can run a mod of doom with photorealistic graphics, all I need is a shotgun and a chainsaw.

It’s a tie between unprotected sex with a stranger I met at a bar, and sleeping on a bench behind the train station in Barcelona.
Luckily, getting robbed behind the train station was the more serious consequence of my poor life choices.

We don’t. It’s a separate, simplified system that only lets the core team members access the layout-, editing- and typesetting-software that is locally installed on the bare metal servers.
In emergency mode, they get written articles and images from the reporters via otherwise unused, remotely hosted email addresses, and as a second backup, Signal.
They build the pages from that, send them to the printers, and the paper is printed old-school using photographic plates.

Als sie sich gegründet haben, schon.
