In Germany we have a trial run of food delivery. A drone will bring a package with up to 4.5 kg to a “remote” village, then some students on e-bikes will bring it to the houses. Why they are using drones instead of one lorry a day is unknown.

I got not a single ad, thanks to Firefox and uBlock Origin.

Don’t put it in /usr/bin, that’s where your package manager puts executables, not you. Other than that, do what you want. /usr/local/bin is good, or if it’s only for your user ~/bin, ~/local/bin or ~/.local/bin - I don’t care. Also just let your users decide where they want to put the script.

Wow, da habe ich offenbar unter einem Stein gelebt: seit 2001 gibt es schon so ähnliche Chipless RFID tags.

I don’t know how it works with your or OP’s router, but my router has a firewall for IPv6, too. There’s no NAT for IPv6, so if I open a port I have to use the server’s IP address, and that’s also the IP address that I have to use from the outside.

The underscore is used to underline text in Markdown. If you want to display a real underscore like this: _, you have to escape it with a backslash. Some clients apparently interpret this rule even in plain links, and some don’t. If we use real Markdown links this should not happen.

At least Android devices are not firewalled in any way. Even with the latest Android 14 I can run servers like ssh/ftp/ScreenStream locally on the phone.

There’s a firewall/NAT on the phone network, but in the local network it’s perfectly possible to connect to other phones (unless the local network has client isolation).

The second car here is a Tesla, and it still runs at the other side of the ford (but we don’t know for how long). But I agree, driving through rain should not damage a car.

Check if your Provider uses CGNAT. And I don’t understand why you opened port 22-29 instead of just one port.

UK was in the EU for the most part of my adulthood, so I didn’t need a passport (I’m from Germany).

Das Problem mit den Luftballons besteht laut Bahn darin, dass bei Kontakt oder auch schon in der Nähe der Oberleitung ein Kurzschluss in der 15.000 Volt starken Leitung entsteht. Dann wird erst mal der Bahnsteig geräumt, die Feuerwehr rückt an und der S-Bahn-Betrieb steht still.

Kann man das Verfahren wirklich nicht abkürzen? Bei einem vollen Bahnhof sollten sich doch wohl leicht ein paar Zeugen finden lassen, die die Frage klären können, ob das ein blöder Ballon oder ein S-Bahn-Surfer war. Und Kameras gibt’s doch auch jede Menge?

Of course EU regulations, contrary to the US, limit pedal-assist bikes to a maximum continuous rated power of no more than 250 W and a speed to 25 km/h before cutting out power, leaving you to rely your legs for more speed.

Mich erinnern diese schwarzen Radkästen immer an den Matra Simca Rancho.

My phone is either lying around, in my pocket or in my car most of the time. The times when I carry it outdoors in my hand are not many. And shouldn’t the sensor be less than 5 cm away from something, and you have to select the kind of material that you want to measure?

Don’t most microwaves have a rotating plate?

What url are you using on the phone? localhost is the local host, so your phone in this case.

TLDR: it only matters to you if you use curl/libcurl to contact an untrustworthy host via SOCKS5 proxy.

You don’t necessarily need a new computer, you could get a new SSD, install Linux there and dual boot for a while.

Inzwischen gibt’s wohl auch den Astra und den Peugeot 308 als Kombi. Aber ja, schon ein trauriges Bild insgesamt.
