I really don’t know.
Seeing all the right wing ideas resurface the longer the CxU is in government, as if they only were in hiding during the Ampel and feeling free to voice their shit now “they have a majority” makes me afraid of the future. This judge appointment failure made clear how much (hidden?) destructive hard right influence there is. And idiot Spahn wants to ride the tiger, where in my reality he’d rot in jail. I’d not underestimate him wanting to be the next chancellor, with the help of the brown masses after a re-election.
Unfortunately I can’t see a way out of this desaster.


Then we’ll probably get blue-black.


TIL they have a news section.


Kurzarbeit not kurzzeit.


Fuck Oracle.


This is porn! Ty for sharing, was trying to set up a site2site VPN and this will most probably help enormously!


Cracks in the pressure vessel? Nah, this’ll hold another two decades…

Here’s some information on using a broadband modem, further down on sending SMS and stuff with it, maybe this helps: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mobile_broadband_modem
Edit: Typo


Can confirm. Example: Was on a work trip in Tibilisi, Georgia last year, and 5G coverage everywhere, fiber everywhere, even the smoothie bar next to our site had wireless and usb chargers embedded in their countertops. Free (albeit somewhat clogged) wifi throughout the city. Younger, or far more flexible demographics and mental flexibility and willingness to use technology. No letterbox to be seen as nearly every communication is digital. Getting a SIM takes 5 minutes with digital verification in the shop, even for a German (looking at you, Postident!).


Article does not cover the why question, only partly how it came to that situation: A government stuck in the past. I’d like to add that laying cable/fiber costs money, so the providers like to milk that invest as long as possible. So while we have ftc here, there’s still multiple dslams on that curb distributing the net though copper to the homes. Some even still set up with adsl line cards (15 mbps instead of 250), although newly built. Some efforts are being made to provide fth, but these are hard to distribute in 1950 era buildings. These costs are mainly not recoverable by rent, need a heavy planning effort and all tenants in that building would be bound to one provider for one or two years, which most of mine do strictly not want. Not only the government is stuck in the past here. When I asked my provider if I could have fiber and dsl as fallback and for testing those few who understood the question just laughed.
He ranted about that issue that apparently one of his own minions caused.
