You watch this surreal movie and realize it’s inspired by actual, real, American suburban neighborhoods.

BTW this is not a commercialised response to tiny houses being hip, this is a response to the housing crisis. Or maybe the two are connected. Anyhow I see tiny houses as a DIY movement, and something that enables you to live on the other side of urban boundaries, and this here is obviously neither.

• are they living directly under a bunch of power lines?
• too close together
• looks both mass produced and cobbled together
• weird house numbers
• the truck seems to be labeled in some non-Latin alphabet

I guess the latter points to LLMs…

Did some sleuthing, came up with these:

Who stole the pic from the last article and put a truck in it while also messing up the house numbers?

Huh. One commenter even says they had a party there, but doesn’t say what/where “there” is.

Indeed. Thanks.

my phone battery life has been greatly improved

It’s a truism amongst gapps-free ROM and also all sorts of adblock users.

And yea, OSM has vastly improved in the past decade to the point that it’s just as - if not more - reliable as Google’s maps.

Disclaimer: people pointing out the convenience of Google products will be ridiculed. Even traffic jam prediction.

Thank you!

It is. Most EU countries build on a strong legal system of separation of powers etc. that makes it hard to dismantle democracy with the alacrity MAGA is currently doing it in the USA.

But nevertheless, we’re all aware of the rise of fascism in Europe and are extremely worried.

just read the comments

Which is in turn owned by a Swedish company.

Can’t speak for OP, but for me it’s important that with e.g. Letsencrypt, I’m entering a contract under US law, and with ZeroSSL it’s under EU/Austrian law.

lol ok

It’s proven then: Letsencrypt is bigger and better than anything any European even for profit company has to offer.

I think you misunderstood something there; they’re very explicitely offering free certs.

I just went 90% through the process (I might need them anyhow later this year), it’s like this:
What you say is a PRO feature, unlimited certs with one account, is not meant as “unlimited in time” but “unlimited number of certs at any given time”.

It is a problem, and there are solutions.

This is why I never even started using Letsencrypt; looking at the fine print, you actually enter into some kind of contract with some US entity under US law, which I don’t want even if it’s the coolest of all FOSS foundations.

Here’s a site that has some info:

I have used certum.pl for years and it looks like I might go back to them soon because my VPS provider doesn’t offer bundled certs anymore.

I used to pay €40/year iirc.
I suspect it’s gotten more expensive though.

edit:
oh looks like ZeroSSL are doing it letsencrypt-style with Acme protocol for €0.

edit2:
No, not more expensive. Some of the providers in the above link are labyrinthine and I couldn’t even find a Pricing section - usually a sign that it’s too expensive at least for a normal consumer - but others offer yearly certs for as little as €30 (taxes not included).

edit3:
Yeah some people are going to have a hard time accepting that a contract with a for-profit company under EU jurisdiction might be preferable to a contract with a non-profit under US jurisdiction.

Oh yeah I remember that! Never felt the need for it.

Why with a reverse proxy? I don’t see this mentioned as the default installation method. https://doc.crowdsec.net/u/user_guides/building/

Tell us more about how crowdsec works (for you)!

(Didn’t even know it had a web ui)

Those boats dotting the water … remind me of something organic. Maybe like this.

we all are.

Variation: former garbage dumps. Some towns have turned them into recreational parks/hills which is kinda cool (I assume they did their due diligence wrt poison or danger).

Unless you’re willing to spend serious €€€, forget the N950.

But both the N900 and the N9 can be had for cheap on the used market (at least here in Finland lol) and are excellent examples for a true Linux phone that actually works.
