    At least in the past the default import-export route did not move attachments, be careful!

    Windows gives you recovery keys for each encrypted drive. With those you can even access tpm-protected drives on another machine. I'd say it's mandatory today to encrypt drives. In…

    Docker (Compose) has some quirks compared to Podman (Compose), e.g. when using gvisor or a lot of internal networks. Depending on what you do your milage will vary, though.

    I'm using jj exactly this way, but `jj commit -i` is still somewhat backwards compared to `git commit -i`: jj displays the commit timestamp by default instead of the author timesta…

    In German you use en-dashes with spaces, whereas in English it’s em-dashes without spaces. Some people dislike em-dashes in English though and use en-dashes with spaces as well.

    git absorb works surprisingly well. I was quite skeptical in the beginning, but it really turned into something I used daily (until I switched to jj, where I haven't found a replac…

    Yes, depending on your highlighting scheme. Not every highlighting scheme shows this by default, unfortunately. To me, this seems initially like some very minor thing, but I find t…

    Passkeys cannot be phished. Other than that they shouldn't have a big advantage for a more professional user with unique, long, and random passwords. For the common user it should …

    I'd say that the basic sailing knots should fit your bill pretty well. I can't recommend an online source, but you should find plenty resources on Youtube. It shouldn't take longer…

    Wireguard does not re-resolve dns when your dyndns ip changes. This ip change is common in parts of Europe where it usually changes daily. To circumvent this you need a jumphost or…

    It seems the EU laws for this have changed last year [1], to allow Erdbeermarmelade again. 1: I was only able to find something in German: https://www.wiwo.de/politik/ausland/reals…

    That’s exactly what prefix delegation is for. Your ISP ought to give an /56 or more, so you can then have multiple /64. I get an /56 by my ISP and have 6 or so different /64 in my …

    Modern CPUs are mostly limited by their energy budget/heat and smaller cores are more efficient. Also, if you have a workload scaling to, say, 8 cores chances are good that it also…

    For a networked Time Machine restore you can reinstall MacOS without restoring first and then use the migration utility to restore from a remote Time Machine. That seems to use a d…

    These are all valid issues. Germany addresses them by doing a FPTP pass and then filling the remainder of the parliament such that the overall parliament has PR according to a seco…

    Yes, the battery drain on iOS is also the thing stopping me from having it on my iPhone. Wireguard is way better in that regard, but has other issues (e.g. no split dns, no dns re-…

    You can easily use this for digital documents as well. The only difference in my setup is a tag showing whether the document id maps to a physical document in a binder or not.

    Just a side note to this and the other replies: You can also keep the original documents and add scans to paperless for indexing, etc. Since I switched to paperless I keep my origi…

    I can fully recommend Tink, especially when libsodium isn’t available. Although its documentation isn’t very good, it‘s build to be hard to misuse. You still need some cryptographi…

    This is not necessarily the fault of the browser alone. I‘m also unique on a Safari on an up-to-date iOS, which in itself is not very unique.

    The QR code is usually just for easier use, you can also unlock them in the apps via selecting the vehicles on the map.

    Sure. As far as I‘m aware the Gedankenstrich is usually set as en-dash with spaces in German, though [1]. 1: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbgeviertstrich#Gedankenstri...

    Yes, and the Gedankenstrich is usually set as en-dash with spaces around, only rarely as em-dash. See https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halbgeviertstrich#Gedankenstri...

    The alternative is usually en-dash with spaces.

    In German that’s the way it’s done: en-dash with spaces, em-dashes (basically) don’t exist.
