    Because they point foo.example.com to AWS. They then let whatever the CNAME is pointing to lapse. Then an attacker registers the lapsed AWS and can now put their content on your tr…

    The boring answer is that infrastructure costs money. You either use taxes from everyone to pay for it or you take money from the people using the thing.

    Because I can put it next to my bed at night and have it cool me. Not all of us travel with a punkah-wallah.

    How do you handle seat reservation refunds? That was our most annoying experience with the Interrail app - a booking fee on top of the reservation, but little support when those tr…

    Yes. The app makes it really easy to do that. In our last trip we did it a few times. But, as you get older, there's a certain joy in making plans in advance.

    OSM does have a pictures layer. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Panoramax I use https://mapcomplete.org/ to add images of artworks to OSM objects.

    I'm in IT right now having travelled through FR, DE, NO, PL and half a dozen more countries. When selecting the EN option on a website it is almost 100% of the time with a GB flag.…
