Business Insider (and Politico) have been bought by Axel Springer, a German publisher whose flagship paper is Bild, pretty much the German sun, and is generally a heaven for innacurate reporting, and general right-wing shit-headdery.

I mean, he wasn't wrong here, but I don't think fucking Matt Walsh knew more than any random person. He just wants to stir up shit to get attention.

In Germany, it's currently 696€ a year to use all local and regional public transport (metro, bus, regional train, etc.) nationally, 4899€ a year to also use all long distance public transport (IC, ICE).

Unless you travel around the country a lot, the first plus a long distance discount card is usually enough to get around.

Still, there has been too little investment into public transport for decades, and the 696€ Ticket is partially funded by the federal government, so let's see whether that lasts past the next election. All in all, could be better, but could also be a lot worse.

I was eating something when I made the account. Make a wild guess what it might have been.

I don't care about Canon. Every Trek has done silly things that are then included, or ignored, based on the next writers whims.

What did annoy me was that it became less and less fun to watch. Neither the scripts nor the sets and backgrounds felt like they where done by people who liked the general ideas and vibes of star trek. Or maybe they just didn't share my idea for star trek.

Pretty much only sticked around because I liked Stamments, Culber, and Adira. For all it's failings, I did feel they nailed representation.

I signed up on a smaller instance, and it took them like two weeks to confirm my account. But it does work now.

I mean, it would probably look kinda similar to blahaj.zone. With a dedicated admin team, I could see it working.

I dunno. I'm from a country where it isn't common practice, so it doesn't really affect me, and I still find it's fucking weird, and see why people would wanna stop it.

Like, sure, there's much, much greater injustices in the world, but that's true for lot's of injustices, and dealing with them sequentially sorted by impact isn't going to work very well.

Uh, the X is probably in reference to Musk-Twitter.

I mean, that kinda goes against the self hosted ethos, but it'd probably run fine on Oracle always free.

Like, I host everything on my local server, but I've got symmetrical gigabit, and all my user (family, some friends) are on my tailscale network.

If your friends are willing to use tailscale, or something like that (you can do most of what tailscale does yourself, but that involves quite a bit of work), it'd be pretty easy to host at home. There are several ways to make whatever you host reachable from the public internet, but that usually makes everything a much bigger hassle.

My power costs for my server (Ryzen 5 3600, GT710, 16 GB RAM, 10TB storage) are usually 10-15€ a month, which is worth it to me. You could do a lot with a way lower spec CPU, but that's what I had lying around.

Not quite comparable, because long distance, but for someone usually bouncing around Germany, the TGV network is kinda crazy. A bit envious after returning.

Like, the ICE is usually faster than driving, and I don't have a car anyways, since I don't really need one, but having a separate network for high speed rail means the French are just on another level.

Darling, please.
