Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Imagine a place like Afghanistan. I assume neither USSR nor USA records are accessible for the people there. Their landmine issue is just too sad

Having to analyze 80 year old bombing records during new constructions adds to the long list of downsides of wars

We do sell seat reservations (https://allaboard.eu/book) and some are refundable but most are not. Depending on the operator.

Delay or cancellation compensation is different. You can then contact our support and we’ll help with making that claim.

Self promotion, support a long time HN reader and get your pass via https://allaboard.eu/eurail or https://allaboard.eu/interrail

It’s actually more affordable via us, as prices are net and we do free refunds. Loosing the Stripe fee but it’s worth it.

Re:The last European train that travels by sea on Monday October 27, 2025 @05:51AM (#45719044)
There might have been occasions where a train ferry transported one of those train that carry cars onboard. I like that thought.

It used be one between Denmark and Germany. Likely that one you are thinking about. Canceled due to the Fehmarn Belt bridge construction.

I've been on this train. The sound of the train being pulled onto the ferry did wake me up to say the least. It was dark outside and the blinds were shut in our sleeping coach. I remember feeling a bit of a weight, being in bed, in a closed coach, inside a large train, deep inside this massive ferry with many floors above us. It wasn't until much later that I realized that the train was open-air and not that big at all. You then wake up a few hours later near Palermo where the train runs just by the ocean – that was lovely.

I've also been on the second-to-last train of this type a few times (Snälltåget from Sweden via Denmark to Germany). That one also got canceled for the same reason – mega bridge construction (Fehmarn Belt). There, you used to get off the train to go up to the canteen for lunch with the truckers.

Re:Many accidentally leaking IPs to Google Analytics on Friday February 26, 2021 @02:24AM (#26272181)
Research on governmental websites in Sweden show many of them accidentally send IP addresses to Google Analytics, breaking GDPR.

Often due because of a typos in the option string 'anonymize_ip'

Make a qualified guess: cloud CPU energy use

We're trying hard to convert our CPU hours on Google Cloud to what impact it has on the climate. Having spoken to the team at Google Sweden, they don't seem to have any idea at all.A good start would be to find out, or get a qualified guess on, how much energy a CPU hour might consume?

Re:Idea: When (if) statements in CSS on Monday June 04, 2012 @11:10AM (#4064311)
I didn't spend much time on the syntax. My idea was to mimic the media queries syntax.

Media queries already kind of does this. "When screen max width is larger than xxx. Do this ..."

This idea is a extension where we can check for more than viewport width and height.
