I’ve also received a letter about seeding a torrent when I was in Germany in early 2010s. I went to see a legal aid lawyer, who was almost free, and he already had a prewritten letter saying that basically I was sorry and that I should come back if I received another letter.

The first letter said that if I didn’t pay within a few days, they would start a very expensive legal procedure. About a month later, I received a reminder, so I went back to the lawyer. This time, his letter said that I wasn’t able to pay the amount and that I should come back if I received another letter.

I never received anything after that. So, based on my experience, I agree: it’s all bark and no bite.

From what I understood you need statistical tests to detect the watermark. You cannot easily detect by eyeballing that a coin will land on heads 55% of the time instead of 50%

What is wrong with WireGuard?

I’m extremely satisfied with mailbox.org!

They support all standard email protocols (IMAP, POP3, SMTP) even Sieve for server-side filters, so you can use any mail client you prefer rather than being locked into official apps. They offer CardDAV for contacts and CalDAV for calendars, and their drive can be mounted via WebDAV.

Pricing is reasonable and personal domains are supported.

Isn’t Tuta based in Germany anyway?

Volunteer applications for 2026 are now closed. Applications for 2027 will open in September 2026

setup-alpine script should let you choose between dropbear and openssh

Language changes through use, not through rules or intentions to “preserve” meanings. You can’t freeze a language, words evolve based on how people actually use them, and today GIMP overwhelmingly refers to the image editing software, not some outdated insult. If you search for it online, you’ll find pages of tutorials and plugins long before you even stumble on that old sense.

English is a global language now, the majority of its speakers aren’t native, and it feels ethnocentric to assume everyone experiences a word the same way a small educated group of native speakers might. Meaning comes from context and community use, not from etymology.

Semantic shifts and reappropriations happen all the time. Words like “queer” completely changed meaning over time. From my point of view, GIMP has done the same thing.

Sorry if I miss some nuance, I’m not a native speaker myself…

If you prefer something quiet, keyboards with red silent switches are often available in pre-built options

Buy a second-hand one and you can always purchase new keycaps for a fresh feeling, but 25€ will be a tight budget anyway

I also recommand Task.org app to sync tasks with CalDAV and I use raw Markdown files with WebDAV, both using the DAVx5 app for synchronization. For editing Markdown, I prefer minimalist apps that suit my needs. Right now, I find SimpleMarkdown (with disabled telemetry) to be the best choice.

Some distros and technologies can be more complex.

For Home Assistant, consider using Yunohost. It doesn’t require Docker skills. You can find step-by-step guides on their website.

I guess gaming with Linux has always been tricky, you can check ProtonDB to see which games are easily compatible with Linux.
