Ukrainians are dying daily and have been for 2 years…

You mean since 10 years, when Russia invaded Crimea.

I don’t know how the technical implementation will work, but here is a post I found.

The idea is that you transfer money from the bank to your device, just like withdrawing cash from an ATM. Transferring money from one wallet to another should be able to be offline.

It seems like privacy is a priority, if only to satisfy privacy groups and improve acceptance.

Recently read an ELI5 of the digital euro and was pleasantly surprised. If it works as designed, you can perform offline payments from one device to another, which sounds like your use case. No central servers, no blockchain.

They were being dicks even in the 80s. I remember the Russian Woodpecker. My father was a amateur radio operator and there were whole frequency bands that were unusable because of that prat-prat-prat-prat.

And nothing of value was lost…

The roof is on fire

I was considering getting a mirror lens, but that bokeh though.

All of that and Custom DNS? Sounds like a pet project with scope issues.

Habe mich gefragt, welche Argumente die Nimbys dagegen hatten. Ein Rückhaltebecken mit ein paar Deiche fügt sich doch wunderbar in die Landschaft ein. Und gemessen an den potentiellen Schaden ist der Aufwand peanuts.

Brisant ist nicht nur, dass im Vertrag kein stichhaltiger Grund dafür angegeben wird. Die Verhandler warteten noch nicht einmal Gutachten zu möglichen positiven und negativen Folgen an den konkreten Standorten ab

Ei, na dann.

Abgesehen vom Eingriff in die Natur fürchten Anwohner, dass im Falle einer Flutung der Grundwasserspiegel steigen und in ihrem Haus dann das Wasser stehen könnte.

Aha. Hochwasser geht klar, aber bloss nicht zu nah an meinem Garten?

Soweit ich weiss dürfen die nicht in den Abfluss, weil sie gerne mit anderen Dinge verklumpen. Stichwort Fettberg.

Russia’s reaction will be extremely interesting. I read somewhere that they said that an attack on their early warning systems will be countered with nuclear force.

I’d like to know how many of the poor souls on the frontline aren’t Russian but Indians, Syrians, etc… that got shanghaied into service.

Having had both, I can say that with the framework you get a much better display, but you lose the trackpoint. The framework has better repairability, but has less IO. The hardware on the framework is well supported on Linux, but can be hit or miss on thinkpads, especially newer ones.

The only thing I’m really missing on the framework is the black thinkpad chassis - can’t really get used to the aluminum.

I get the sarcasm, but isn’t that exactly what E-Paper tablets are really good at?

Reading about Bluefin got me so interested that I just installed it on my laptop. After updating, it’s still at 39. How do I update it to 40?

EDIT: just figured it out:

sudo rpm-ostree rebase ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:latest

I’ve been using Fedora for many years (Nobara is just a fling) and updates were always remarkably stable. That being said, if you’ve played around with the configuration you might have issues, but if you stay with the standard install you shouldn’t expect problems.

Thanks, kind person!

I’ve settled on Fast Draw. You get to use exactly one widget, but it’s lightweight and lets me launch apps.

One Friday afternoon, Gary called the engineering staff together and announced that he would give them all a raise over the weekend. On Monday, when they returned to work, contractors began raising the building to make room in the basement for a new Digital Equipment Corporation VAX 11/750 computer system. After several weeks, supported by heavy wooden beams and house jacks, the engineers’ desks were five feet higher.

I’d have loved to work for him!

While I can fully understand his pain, I can’t quite follow how adding a paid subscription model will make his life easier (except financially).

Before, he had to deal with entitled asshats, and now he’ll have to deal with asshats feeling even more entitled, because they paid for it.
