They do because that’s factually correct. But is it worth reporting that a government website reflects events?

It would be news in my opinion if there was an actual message behind it. But since there’s no warning, not even partial, it doesn’t carry political weight – which in my think the headline implies (though the article makes it clear that it’s not).

Basically, the headline can be reduced to “German agency does its job”

God, I hate this kind of news, it feels like it pops up every few months.

Germany issuing travel advisories is nothing newsworthy! They exist for basically every country (see https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/reise-und-sicherheitshinweise, German only) and are updated regularly. The only thing that would be noteworthy if the US suddenly appeared on the travel warnings page: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/reiseundsicherheit/10-2-8reisewarnungen, on which the only surprising country is Japan, and the warning refers to the areas still affected by the Fukushima nuclear reactor accident.

As another example, Canada which is a very safe country, also has formally issued travel advisories: https://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/de/service/laender/kanada-node/kanadasicherheit-204874 though they basically only say “don’t worry”. But issuing an advisory is not what people might think it is.

It is (was?) actually worse

In accordance with Nobel’s will, the prize is selected by the Norwegian Nobel Committee, a five-member committee appointed by the Parliament of Norway unlike all the other awards chosen by the Swedish Nobel Committee. The prize award ceremony has been held in Oslo City Hall since 1990

So it’s not completely out of whack (just very much so), at least not more than sending that letter to Sweden

Today is 11827 September 1993

It’d be a waste of time anyways

Which trolling is

Anything but EU dictatorship /s

Note that while you’re statement is generally true, this particular case is about Hungary. Their current political party relies heavily on anti-EU rhetorics. So while for other countries, the issue is that they didn’t act sooner, Hungary has officially embraced Russian and US politics under Trump. But you cannot serve two masters…

The thing is, it’s all a grift, but there’s only so much that can be grifted. Some of them were eating it up because they were hoping that once in charge, they’d benefit, but there’s only so much space at the top

I’m suddenly reminded of a certain South Park episode

Good rant, though it could use some more caps lock. 7/10

“His immigration crackdown will create jobs”???

Any minute now

Have this game as well I think, is kind of rare to have just a photo of people on the box without the game or anything

Well I sit kind of between these

Like I’m not getting a dedicated router and have no server room in my apartment, and my consumer router only supports two VLANs (main and guest). But I’d say the rest is rather sophisticated with all machines defined in my NixOS config, including automated generation of firewall and reverse proxy rules for which I wrote custom modules.

Media server isn’t super full but connected to jellyseer and the rest of the stack, accessible over TLS (Let’s Encrypt certificates) only, with the option to have users managed via IDM.

However, I only have devices on my network that I somewhat trust, with an Android TV box being the worst offender. The smart TV was never connected to my network.

Would be cool to isolate my work PCs somewhat (I work from home with company provided equipment) but it’s just not worth the trouble in my opinion. Not switching out a low power device that does most for two different devices that both use more power (since you usually need a router and a modem).

Well I mean they didn’t pay for most of the stuff in there in the first place

I don’t only run a reverse proxy because of having only a single public IPv4 address, but that probably is the best part

In general, I’d say reverse proxies make things somewhat easier to manage, especially when it comes to TLS. No need for every service to integrate it.

That would have been a brilliant move with wav vs MP3

How would a new format be backwards-compatible? At least JPEG-XL can losslessly compress standard jpg for a bit of space savings, and servers can choose to deliver the decompressed jpg to clients that don’t support JPEG-XL.

Also from Wikipedia:

Computationally efficient encoding and decoding without requiring specialized hardware: JPEG XL is about as fast to encode and decode as old JPEG using libjpeg-turbo

Being a JPEG superset, JXL provides efficient lossless recompression options for images in the traditional/legacy JPEG format that can represent JPEG data in a more space-efficient way (~20% size reduction due to the better entropy coder) and can easily be reversed, e.g. on the fly. Wrapped inside a JPEG XL file/stream, it can be combined with additional elements, e.g. an alpha channel.
