It's a bit weird and maybe more complicated. I checked the area around Munich, Germany (where I live). - one is an actual lake (correct shape) that went down to 0 from a bogus 1 - …

I'd love to have statistics on how many people can not work remotely because their partner can't work remotely. Maybe starting with how many jobs are office jobs that don't require…

"also"? :D https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amigo-Aff%C3%A4re (sorry, no English translation available)

I'm generally not zealous in either way of the good old time or everything old is bad... But seriously, have your vinyl and be happy, I am buying CDs for home use (even in a car it…

Funny. I have about 187 posts titled 'The Stack' on my blog, but also none on 2013-08-13, so I'm not the training set it seems :P

A friend who doesn't live close had one season of a series I wanted to watch and I could stream it from his Plex. I'm not saying this could not have been solved in another easy way…

I dunno. I've worked with linux routers for years and I've had a lot less problems than with mikrotik. I still like them but it's usually not the networking knowledge that trips pe…

There are dozens of us who went through the ordeal to use MIDI controllers for stuff because you just want to touch a button and not alt-tab 4 times. cf. https://f5n.org/blog/2026/…

The problem is just if you don't want to replace stuff that is not broken. My BT in-ears charge with Micro USB, my 2 bike lights do, my flashlight does. The only downside of my Suu…

Yeah. HDMI sometimes shows the same signs of whatever is happening as DP. I still miss the old binary (works/doesn't work) nature of D-SUB and DVI. No autonegotiations or any "need…

[dead]

I didn't lose it per se but it was kind of an ordeal to migrate it from Mojang to MS back then and I had to actually involve support, but in the end it worked. Have not logged in f…

True, I had forgotten about UO, but for the sake of the argument I don't think it really matters. I don't have numbers ready, I had always seen EQ as the bigger mainstream success,…

Not the person you replied to but they mentioned DACH + customers. As someone from Bavaria... I have several stories of coworkers who speak and understand decent German but put the…

See, you went the extra mile. Like the person you replied to (I assume), I clicked on the home page, pondered why one would not describe the app's purpose on the home page, failed …

I'm not in the US but it's been years since I had a coworker with more than 2 kids (or they're so many departments apart I simply don't know). None of my closer friends has more th…

You have your timeline slightly wrong because GW1 (if we take dev time into account) basically launched at the same time as WoW - and WoW wasn't the first subscription MMO. I suppo…

I think we're in the minority here. Or at least we absolutely were in the minority until 2020 when everyone started working from home, many kept it that way, and a somewhat dedicat…

It's really weird how smoke breaks are still more accepted than coffee breaks in some companies. And for all the terrible chemicals they blast in the air, I don't remember ever hav…

Which law though? Which country/state/region? Does it even apply? We're talking about an open source project that is not being sold, with contributors from all over the world.

> Very common is the case of some person who sometimes uses linux on their machine telling a system administrator who has thousands of machines under his responsibility what's what…

It traded one set of problems for another set of problems. The people who are happy now don't complain (or are too new to init systems) and the people you hear are the ones who now…

I'm wondering what the problems can be because I've not experienced that (or heard it first hand).

Last I checked you can be a 1man GmbH and it's not even that rare. I would say it is actually the "default" company type, by volume (not the 1man, but of all companies - although m…

Ok, so first of all, the UG was only introduced in 2008 - which even for some of us middle-aged people is more "it's relatively new" than "GmbH has existed decades before I was bor…
