Beautiful work, I love fantasy cartography. Someday I actually want to make some maps of my own, I was thinking of ASOIAF. A slightly off-topic question, are these types of maps legal to sell from copyright point of view? I understand that this is quite a niche product, so maybe I'm overthinking it, but do these count as derivative works ?
Even having one instance running should have been immediate whole of NASA five fire alarm type of situation.

Of course, the technical term for that setup is 'catch all', you can set this up with your email provider. You can send your email to "[email protected]", for example.
Re:How Thomas Mann Wrote the Magic Mountain on Sunday January 04, 2026 @02:30AM (#46485803)
It's correct in English. [1] The family of Thomas Mann were representatives of German bourgeoisie. From [2] (machine translated): "Thomas Mann and Heinrich Mann, as well as members of the following generation, became writers; in their numerous, often autobiographically influenced literary works, they explored themes such as the history of the German bourgeoisie and educated middle class, as well as its decadence. Through this, the family itself came to be seen by the public as a symbol and late representative of that very social stratum."

Your math is way off, China and India combined are roughly 35 %.

Re:Apple Design Official Alan Dye Poached by Meta in Major Coup on Wednesday December 03, 2025 @04:15PM (#46140220)
I would not associate anything that Meta does with the word "design". Instagram's UI changes every two months for no particular reason, and now there is a big, ugly and absolutely useless "Ask Meta AI" button in WhatsApp right under your thumb. Maybe we'll get some liquid glass effects now.

They did, but the goalposts keep moving, so to speak. We're approximately here : advanced semiconductors, artificial intelligence, reusable rockets, quantum computing, etc. Chinese will never catch up. /s

It's MIT-licensed, so you can fork and strip the images. It's more of a request than a demand.

Re:SAP splashes €20B on Euro sovereign cloud push on Friday September 05, 2025 @07:20AM (#45137304)
I never said it would be easy, but if they really want it, it should be possible. Airbus, for example, is a pan-European entity, build up of French, German and Spanish companies which preceded it.
Re:SAP splashes €20B on Euro sovereign cloud push on Friday September 05, 2025 @07:09AM (#45137253)
Realistically all the European mini-clouds like OVH, Scaleway, Hetzner, etc should collaborate and field some pan-European offering, similar to the American/Chinese mega clouds. And EU Commission, or whatever, should invest in the name of strategic competition.
Re:You do not need "analytics" for your blog on Saturday August 30, 2025 @09:11AM (#45074340)
As long as you're not funneling this data to the Big Tech/Big Cloud/Big Ads, possibly self hosting and partially anonymizing data, and using it for personal purposes, I feel like it's fine. Web is lonely, so watching numbers go up and seeing that, for example, your writing is being read around the world can be a huge motivator to continue creating.

I think there are multiple versions of this. One example is Gråkappan.[1] It was mentioned in the Severence series, funnily enough.
