Is Hetzner still sending paper contract over snail mail to use their services? Then requiring the signed paper contract be sent back by post? I haven't cared enough about their offer to check by myself again.

Your nick is programmer_dude and a dot for a decimal point confuses you?
Let's not be a jerk to people who are trying to learn. We all started out unaware of things we now consider essential knowledge. For (my) example, timezones offsets can and do include partial hour offsets (+0415 is/was real), and dates should generally be YYYY-MM-DD (when not displayed to end users) for your sanity (and because iso8601). OP, you can look up the numeric formats for Germany in your system preferences o…
I'm confused as to how they can be confused.
Even in my comma-as-separator country, our calculators have a dot. The only thing that could be confusing is encountering numbers with 3 decimals: 123,456 vs 123.456

#23This could be an interesting way to run mautrix-imesssage. I wonder if they've got it hooked up to some sort of remote console solution; I've never been able to figure out how to get less-than-wretched performance out of the VNC server baked into the OS.

#24Is 58.31 = 5831 here? It's doubly confusing: dot instead of comma and separator at the hundredths position.

1. I did not notice the M1 was being offered on rent. I assumed it was for sale at the listed price.
2. Since 58.31 € is an unrealistic price for an M1 machine (and since this is a European site) I concluded the site must be using a comma instead of a dot. 5831 € is a realistic price for a Mac afterall.
Unfortunately the site is using a dot for a dot despite being European and the M1 is being offered on rent.

Yes, it managed to confuse me. Here's how... 1. I did not notice the M1 was being offered on rent. I assumed it was for sale at the listed price. 2.

Apparently mautrix-imessage supports jailbroken iphones. Isn't that much more cost effective (eg. $50 for a used iphone 4s) than paying $50/month?

The user has been "programmer_dude" for 6 years just on HN, there's no chance that they didn't learn about the dot. I'm confused as to how they can be confused.
