As a German I would say test that they actually keep up with all their duties. I feel like for many years ours do a terrible job, but at least they don’t try to overthrow the government or anything. So… test that they know and are willing to perform their duties:

The president’s most prominent powers and duties include:

• Proposing the chancellor to the Bundestag
• Appointing and dismissing the chancellor and their cabinet ministers
• Dissolving the Bundestag under certain circumstances
• Declaring the legislative state of emergency under certain circumstances
• Convening the Bundestag
• Signing and promulgating laws or vetoing them under certain circumstances
• Appointing and dismissing federal judges, federal civil servants, and commissioned and non-commissioned officers of the Armed Forces
• Exercising the power to pardon individual offenders on behalf of the Federation
• Awarding honors on behalf of the Federation
• Representing Germany at home and abroad

Currently, German presidency is a deportation track for political pensioners.

I hated languages in school because besides grammar and word mistakes, grading always felt arbitrary. However, that teacher recognized that I struggled, gave me a generalized template and said “If you do it like that, you get a good grade”. I did it like that and got a good grade (we have 1 (perfect) - 6 (trash) and I improved from 4- to 2+ which is quite a big leap). So yea, that was the first time that I perceived that subject and a teacher of that subject as something real and not bs.

It’s not a grammar mistake per se, but I feel like sharing it and it is close enough so here we go.

As a non-native English speaker: How can you have mob and vacuum the floor but not broom the room?! I know it doesn’t exist, but I don’t care. If we have to phrase it as a grammar mistake: I use verbalisations where they are uncommon.

Police officers? The main issue here is that those laws are about balance. Balance of your rights and the persons’ you are filming. There are some general rules and a large grey area.

In general your vlogging isn’t an issue. However, if you knowingly start recording a specific person e.g. a busker, or in your case a street scammer, things become more difficult - especially because you are vlogging. The expectation that you are going to upload the video makes it unlikely that you are just recording for evidence.

I am not a lawyer. I think the police promarily tried to de-escalate here.

I think you are mistaken. In Germany public photography is legal as long as it is not your intend to photograph/monitor individuals. They can totally be part of the image, just not the focus. Videos are also legal as long as it is not targeted or constant indiscriminate monitoring.

I don’t think other EU countries have largely different laws given how common dashcams are.

Do what it takes to get them to a doctor and let them handle it. For example: "I want to support you, but I am no expert. Let’s see a nutrition specialist to see what the best course of action is. Personally, I think you are not too fat, but if there is something you want to change, let’s do it right.

That’s the beauty. Given that there is no goal, you are able to define your own.

The times we live in are wild. Predicted that, Aldous?

I have found the issue in the meantime though I haven’t truly fixed it yet. Besides the issue with port 8285 and 8472, I saw that ufw blocked the forwarding from the local network to kubernetes network and vice versa for the DNS. I still have to investigate how to properly fix this, but I was able to showcase that this is the issue by disabling ufw temporarily (instances are still protected by OpenStack’s network rules) which fixed all issues with dns.

That’s what I call a big update!

I am sorry my comment offended you. I have deleted it. Thank you for sharing your view.

This fixed pods not being able to ping each other by ip. I tried pinging each other by hostname (pod1), but that still didn’t work. I then found this answer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45805483/kubernetes-pods-cant-resolve-hostnames that implies that hostnames are much longer than just the shown name in kubectl get pods. Those long hostnames work. I do not entirely understand why one would create a hostname that includes the ip address in its name, but I will try to see if that fixed my issues.

I have set up a good hand full of dual booted Windows/ Linux machines. Never had any major issues. However, I also noticed that I only use Linux except for games and that’s slowly changing, too, so I would suggest trying the dual boot if it makes you more comfortable to realize yourself that you don’t need it.

France in general does a lot of things right. Their whole open source movement is amazing! Just take a look at https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome and their tools like https://cryptpad.fr/

And politically as well though I can’t pinpoint it to an exact article. Just the general vibe I got from them and the decisions I saw.

Cool image slides! For my use case it is a bit too usage focused. I would like to find something that focuses a bit more on the “Not controlled by one” part and covering Lemmy, Bluesky, Mastodon, Pixelfed, Peertube and such. I like your presentation style though!

The video is great and covers a lot of the information I would like to share, but it’s sadly not professional enough for the use case I am thinking of. Still a great share! Thank you!

When I read the title before reading your message I thought “Oh well, guess it is time for part 2.” and let’s be honest: It is very realistic that with gAI-ish a lot of people stay dumb. It is difficult to learn and why should they if an AI wipes their ass?

Oh boy ^^ I have the app installed but always thought the name sounds really bad. Never knew what it meant. Thanks :)

Yes, it is absolutely valid that you decided to commercialise your project and keeping parts or all of the code closed. As I work in the public sector and we are encouraged to use open source and write open source software, my knowledge regarding closed software solutions is thin. Is there a “standard way” how closed software is able to guarantee private key safety? I could imagine solutions where there is a separate handler that is open source so that one can verify that only specific information is passed into the closed software area, but this doesn’t sound feasible when talking about full terminal support within the closed software.

Again, there is nothing wrong with going commercial! I am sure I will release closed software (side projects), too, at some point.

Hey, I had my struggles with app icons as well when I wrote a small app for myself so I am not really equipped to create the PR (also due to current time limitations). If no one is found for that, I can give it a shot at the end of the year, but I am sure you will find someone sooner than that.

However, I know of a free icon website and have looked through their icons to suggest a few to you:

• Simple Eye https://uxwing.com/view-icon/
• Thin line art eye https://uxwing.com/see-icon/
• Eye in “scanning square” (corners of a square are hinted, the eye is inside; typical “scanning square” for qr code scanners) https://uxwing.com/eye-scanning-icon/
• Binoculars https://uxwing.com/binoculars-icon/
• Spectacles https://uxwing.com/spectacles-icon/
• Happy man with VR glasses https://uxwing.com/virtual-reality-vr-icon/
• Old video recorder https://uxwing.com/video-camera-icon/
• Square with red dot insids and text record https://uxwing.com/screen-recorder-icon/

Uxwings license is amazing: https://uxwing.com/license/ you can use the icons for basically anything and can even alter them.

Personally, I like “Eye in “scanning square”” the most as it symbolizes the technical aspect of scanning/capturing the surroundings.

While I haven’t used it yetis, there is also https://icon.kitchen/ for icon generation.
