Bavaria was a very agricultural heavy state, that made a few things right in the last few hounded years. Bavaria has like every over German state a long and rich independent history. Only Bavarian nationalists dream of an independent Bavaria. Hitler joined the NSDAP in Munich and it was one of it's early strongholds. Most German cities were destroyed in WWII. Germany did not "pay" reparations, because they still had a lot of open dept from WWI. They paid with land, factories, infrastructure and forced labor. What the guide meant was probably the so-called "soli". It is a special tax that was levied from former Westgerman states to support former GDR states, which did not develop as much under the socialist rule. That tax was and is controversial and was changed to nowadays only applie to richer people.

Bavaria was always a big state in german, that tries to play a special role. Especially their main party the CSU participated in German politics, while enforcing predominantly Bavarian Interests. These methodes were obviously anti democratic but only borderline illegal and forced the government to restructure the parliament.

So yea. I grew up in Bavaria and I get why most Germans are quite annoyed with bavarians.

It is the German Texas.

Isn't that the tool that let's you brute force weak encrypted containers? I remember saving my sister that got a pin secured container and the pin was coming over mail/on a different channel (she needed it as fast as possible)...

Well it was a 4 digit pin and my very old notebook took a few hours. Even less if my sister would have told me that it was a 4 digit nummeric pin and not alphanumeric.

So yea. Hashcat will be your friend. Afaik can also take guesses.

Do not remember the video but isn't that the whole problem: LEDs like to be cooler. Bright pretty LEDs get hoter. People buy smaller prettier bulbs. Things have a tradeoff independent of price. A small bright LED that is in an enclosed space will not last long. Recommend buying pretty LEDs and using them without enclosure or buying dimmable and setting them to 50% on default.

And not buying the integrated shit.

Less.

I was the guy with all my keys and fat wallet with all cards and phone + Multitool knife.

Then I got inspired by my sister that travels a lot and tries to optimize for what she REALLY needs.

First I realized that most of my wallet is useless. I started carrying a smaller flip style one with my most used cards and some cash.

Then I reduced my keys to a carabiner with sorted keysets on keyrings, so I carry only the needed ones. Home + bike + cellar for daily use. Home + family keys for vacations. Home for going out. Added a very small key knife and a bottle opener that is part of my daily driver but left when not needed/forbidden.

The current setup is a phonecaee with space for 4 cards and maybe 3-4 bills. And my key setup. Yes you have to remember to take some Special thing. But usually I have my old wallet in my backpack when traveling or when needed.

Sometimes less is more.

Have a friend with drug issues. He visited with me another friend that worked for a non-profit and collected various things for a cause. Things like pain meds.

Not big enough to be a business. But enough to gift his friends some pain medications that could have been usefully for the recipients....

Kinda. The winners of WWI decided to leave Germany be, but took most things of worth and some land. The reparations were brutal. I think Germany finished paying of the reparations a few years ago. Additionally there was military propaganda that the reich was "undefeated in battle, stabbed in the back", because the civilians negotiated the harsh peace treaty and ignoring the fact, that the war was going badly.

I will not go more into details because I do not know exactly. But the combination of a very depressed economy, the feeling of being treated unjust and the desire for revenge led to a disgruntlement -> rise of populism -> rise of extremist parties.

I am missing a ton, but when things are unstable it is easierfor radical forces to emerge and succeed.

Hitler literally was tasked to spy on the NSDAP and joined them. You have to see: at the time two major parties in the reich were anti constitutional.

That is why a lot of people in Europe look worringly at trump or at least at the whole movement. The USA has issues that need fixing. There is a large disgruntled part of the population and people start to radicalize.

I may generalize, but the start of WWI was mostly a series of pride, miss communication and bad luck.

Hey how did you know that I am sitting at the toilet?

In most social media I am a commenter (idk. As soon as I feel comfortable to post something the comments murder me)

But even so did not use Lemmy to much with jerboa. Not enough content. Buggy. Not nice.

Saw a new post about clients and found "thunder".

Feels like relay. Yes some functions may be missing. But feels nice enough that I can scroll through my subscriptions and have fun using it.

And in mastodon I have a feeling that the growth is linear and not exponential, so give it time.

Lemmy will probably not replace Reddit soon, but it will be a solid alternative for not super special content.

While I never used tiktok: why FB and not TikTok? Or did it get so much worse since I stopped using it 10 years ago?

Edit fb is terrible because boomers hunt for you there and the "everyone's life is so fucking perfect" thing makes you depressive. Especially because it mostly shows you people you know in Reallife. But since everyone started sharing TikTok shit I have a feeling that it is:

  • a social media, so everyone tries to be something they are not.
  • the short content kills your attention span.
  • the content makes you measurably more stupid (fucking YouTube shorts are the same)
  • the algorithm get's even more data, because it measures how you react to stuff and not only what you and others share
  • controlled by the CCP, so I suspect some agenda (look up what TikTok is like in china, it is effectively another program (interesting and educational stuff mixed with chinese propaganda))
  • still growing while fb is officially growing but like more and more people I know stopped using it. Could be bubble, could be that new markets are opening and some regions are declining, could be active users leaving but bots are being counted.

But that is just my opinion man...

Yea Love Ecco, too. They are pricy. But totally worth it. For 2-3 times the price you get shoes that last at least 2-3 times as long and are a hell of a lot more comfortable.
