“white” is a US idea. Like Irish not being “white”. Third Reich cared about Aryans, similar but different rules.

Insure the raft, problem solved!

Even white people. Slavs for instance. Anyone considered crippled. Political enemies.

If the proton guy had only kept his mouth shut… he would have tons more customers in the last 2 months.

In communism the state has control of everything and everything is a monopoly.

QNAP, Asustor, UGreen, Unifi, and many others already offer lower cost NASes from 2 to 8 bays (some might offer even more)

Neff, but it’s exactly the same hardware as Bosch and Siemens (BSH).

We sold the apartment with the 20 year old devices still working perfectly.

I can’t say if it’s intentional or not, but there’s a lot of “don’t ask” in many guides (and even in first level responses here, just telling with button to press but not what happens under the hood).

There’s a bunch of windows internals books from Mark either as main author or co-author, here’s a good place to start: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/resources/

Of course you have to pay for a commercial license, it’s in the name. Development, tooling, support, etc, all costs money.

I like the distinction. If you want to profit from open source, make your code open source. If not, pay up.

Redis allows a third option, a commercial license.

I think it’s the same as with Linux, solving problems slowly gives you familiarity with the system and you start knowing where to look for things. Generally speaking, Windows is way more centralized than Linux.

Half of the things you listed for Linux are optional (selinux, networkmanager, systemd,…) and different distros (or different programs) use different solutions. I still remember moving from sysV init to systemd or from /var/log to journal, to give a few examples. To this day I can’t stand storing coredumps in the journal, although I understand the rationale behind it. You get the idea.

Same as with Linux, I started Windows admin with NT 4.0 so over time you learn things (and re-learn as needed) as you solve problems. There are sysadmin trainings that go a bit deeper. I like Mark Russinovich and his tools and books, you can look into them but it’s subjective.

I don’t know of any road built for 1.500kg cars. Most are 40t, with some 12t and very few narrow and old ones with 3.5t (and usually have a 30 km/h limit).

To be fair, I know redis and gitea (barely, gitlab is way more popular) and not the other two. Enterprise support and name recognition are quite important for government usage.

I am talking about 40.000kg trucks. Anything below 3.500kg is basically harmless (in comparison).

I only know one electric skoda (Enyaq, the citigo was a fleeting experiment). And the Enyaq is the exact same car as the ID.4 except the interior. Same battery, drive train suspensión, brakes, etc. Same for the Audi Q4. So it seems to me that your subjective feel is not very accurate.

Did you research spare part availability / reparability scores when buying the new one?

I always start with that when buying major items. Some brands are more consumer friendly than others. I was still able to buy replacement parts for my 2005 fridge and dishwasher in 2019 and 2023 for 13 and 100 euros respectively (the 100 euro was a heat exchanger one of the biggest pieces of the machine). With 6 Euro shipping costs, 2 day delivery. And a bunch of YouTube videos to do the repair.

In 2024 we equipped a whole new house with the same brand, voting with our wallets.

Not quite, something like 98% of road damage is caused by trucks. Damage increases exponentially with weight.

Just use home assistant, you don’t need their hubs/apps (assuming they use a standard like Zigbee or zwave). For wifi try tasmota.

If you are in the EU yourself it’s not that bad. All my appliances are actually made in Germany, and they were mid-price (BSH and Liebherr, a bit more expensive than chinese/korean but with better efficiency, warranties and reviews).
