I think a large portion of it is that governments/institutions/whatever don’t want to pay the large amount of money it would take to replace all signage/software/etc.

The classic “high short term costs for long term benefits” vs. “no (direct monetary) short term costs for ‘future me’ problems”.

If both Caddy and Forgejo are running in Docker containers you could do SSH Container Passthrough.

Link is to Gitea docs but should work fine with Forgejo.

🤷 just cause?

Also, “gift”

Have any examples where the first letter of the acronym isn’t pronounced the same? (I’m sure there are some)

Agreed. I think since the “G” stands for “graphics” it should be pronounced like the G in graphics.

As of the end of June they significantly relaxed the rules around the path to citizenship, including dual citizenship. Anyone can now do it if the other country also allows dual citizenship.

Add this to trying to trademark the word “punk”, not paying artists doing work for them, using job applications as a means to get free work/ideas, and many, many other awful things…

I once heard a non-native English speaker tell me they remember “on” vs. “in” as “if you can walk around while on it (train, plane, bus) then it’s on, if you can’t (car) then it’s in.”

I kind of liked that description.

They’re taught to follow set rules, ask for permission, and be ashamed if they fail. They’re not taught to learn, they’re taught to work.

This might be even more ingrained in German culture.

People have a tendency to only equate the word “innovation” with “woooaahh, completely new in my face never before seen tech that seemingly came out of nowhere!”. When in reality innovation is almost always slow, small, incremental steps.

So when Apple introduces something to their lineup, many deride it as not being innovative, even though it is often the first version of something that is fairly solid, reliable, and useable.

People think they want mind-blowing technological jumps, but in practice they rarely accept/adopt new technology (or really, anything too outside of the norm, tech or not).

Pihole will also block non-browser traffic (e.g. your OS phoning home). Adblocking extensions are typically restricted to just blocking traffic of the browser it’s installed on.

It also operates on your entire home network, so it can block junk traffic on devices that can’t run adblockers.

And the other classic MLK quote about “the white moderate”:

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice […]

Heheh. No problems at all…

But yeah, despite being an alleged champion of privacy, Germany kind of misses the point with much of their implementation (of any privacy-related legislation).

There will still be a lucrative black market for weed since this law doesn’t really allow for commercial sale, which is quite unfortunate. Cant have that weed cutting in on the beer mafia profits :)

It does allow for “cannabis clubs” that can supply up to 500 members (whose names will be put on a list). So that’s nice. But it’s definitely not going to be enough.

At least it’s a step forward. And really great that individuals can’t be arrested/fined for consuming a plant with their own body.

Yeah, I’ve been living in Germany. Learned quite quickly to never trust a “joint”.

Ya’ll should learn the word “spliff”. That’s what it’s for.

If that’s what people want to do on their own, that’s fine. My issue is when they hand it to you saying it’s a joint, only to be surprised when it’s basically a cigarette with a tiny bit of weed sprinkled in. I hate smoking tobacco.

I’ve quickly learned to always ask what is actually in it before accepting.

Germany has SCHUFA. Fairly similar to credit reports. Pretty much necessary to successfully rent an apartment (in Berlin at least).

Though, there isn’t the expectation that you have accrued debt in order to have a good score, like in the US.

I weirdly enjoyed the 1981 BBC series:
