Eh, the AfD has always, and still does, represent some extreme positions that the CDU is still far away from. Remember that the AfD was founded as an anti-EU party, a position they still hold. The CDU has only really copied the AfD when it comes to migration. Otherwise they are still very different.
Even the Merz CDU is left wing compared to US democrats. Remember all the social programs we have, for example public healthcare.
Context for the non-Germans: The CDU has led our government for 16 out of the last 20 years. The CDU leading is not a significant shift. But the pressure that’s being put on by the AfD is certainly an issue.
You can leave off your tinfoil hat; the surveys (by many different organisations) predicted this result fairly accurately.
NixOS and Guix are both very beginner-unfriendly. If you’re not very comfortable with Linux and its command line, I’d recommend against using them for personal systems.
I think it’s referring to the driver version 570, which isn’t stable yet but working fine in beta.
I use Wayland with Nvidia (proprietary beta driver) every day (including for applications running over Wine) and have no issues.
So while some may still have issues, I certainly wouldn’t call it “completely busted”.
Providing expiration notifications costs Let’s Encrypt tens of thousands of dollars per year
Not doubting them, but I don’t understand how that’s possible.
Storing the email addresses and expiration dates takes an irrelevant amount of storage space, even if they had billions of cutomers.
Sending the emails should also not cost thousands, even if a significant amount of customers regularly let their certificates expire (which hopefull isn’t the case).
So where are the tens of thousands of yearly costs coming from?
You seem like a very relaxed person
If you’re willing to use a techy solution, I can recommend Cloudflare Pages.
It allows you to host a basically limitless amount of files for free, with the only drawback being that each file cannot exceed 25MB.
And I would claim that Cloudflare is about as reliable of a host as it gets.
(You also get free domains that looking like this: JohnnyEnzyme.pages.dev)
Watch me criticize current Israeli behaviour as well as past German behaviour (as a German)
Another upside is the easy permission management.
You can revoke network access from your password manager to reduce attack surface; you can revoke camera access from your chat app to prevent accidentaly enabling it; You can restrict an app’s file system access to prevent unwanted changes; etc.
It’s not yet fit to protect from malicious apps, but it still finds some use.
