And this would be a problem how? If copyright expired after 20 years and an evil commercial company privately forked the public domain Linux kernel 2.6.18, what would we lose?

Yet, they were still ordered to block the content.At first yes, but ultimately the blocking order was undone by a higher German court in December 2023.
I would love to use Firefox exclusively on my Mac, but I also like a long lasting battery. Because of
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1941693 Firefox currently uses twice as much CPU during YouTube video playback than even Chrome when you have ProMotion (120 Hz) enabled, significantly reducing battery lifetime. Switching to a different browser every time I want to play a longer YouTube video also isn't the best user experience.
I want a car that doesn't collect the data, not one that gives a pinky promise not to sell still collected data.
In 2025 China built 696 TWh of new wind + solar power and 13 TWh of new nuclear power. So to a first approximation it's fair to say that even China isn't really building out nuclear power anymore.
In modern times you combine solar energy with wind power and batteries and you already have 90% of the load covered. Then combine that with cheap, easily adjustable gas power plants to complete the picture for cloudy, windless winter days.
There's really no need for coal or nuclear power plants anymore.
You always combine solar power with wind power, that already solves more than 90% of the storage problem. In places like Europe the darker winter is usually quite windy.
For example, last Sunday Germany covered more than 100% of its own power load with renewables even though winter is approaching. Only a small part of that was solar power, most electricity was generated by wind turbines: https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?l=en&c...
The baby monitor could have its own SD card and webserver and then you provide a smartphone app which uses local network discovery to find the server and talk to it.
In that case no parent needs to know about Synology or even IP addresses.
That law has existed since 1951 and is based on an executive order from 1931 by Hindenburg.
Because even when you encrypt the foreign third party can still lock you out of your data by simply switching off the servers.
The name is "Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse".
"Chat Control" is not an official term, but a name chosen by critics of the law.
Buypass was one of the free alternatives to Let's Encrypt that also supported the ACME protocol and even gave you 180 days validity.
Germany isn't ramping up gas imports, it's replacing both nuclear and coal with renewables.
And even though gas power plants are the designated backup power plants for times when there is neither enough sun nor wind, this doesn't actually happen often enough that you need even more gas. So gas consumtion in Germany is actually projected to decline by at least 50% until 2040 [0].

Food security is not an issue at all. For example in Germany around 20% of all farmland is used for "energy plants" (biogas etc.). Even in Germany solar planels have around a 28 times higher efficiency per area than biogas plants, so there is a lot of potential to repurpose farm land without changing food production at all.
PostgreSQL has pg_advisory_xact_lock which releases the lock automatically when the transaction is over.
I'm using using multiple profiles when I want to have a different set of extensions, bookmarks and browsing history. Multi Account Containers help with none of that.
I'm doing all my banking in a separate Firefox profile where uBlock Origin Lite is the only installed extension. So there a zero extensions that have permission to access the pages or requests.
Of course I'm still using the normal uBlock Origin in my main browsing profile.
Seeing the constructions makes me think that we're blessed in Germany for getting all three phases even in single apartments.
Here it's quote common (if no cheaper method of central hot water is available) to have on-demand water heaters like https://www.clage.com/de/produkte/durchlauferhitzer which usually have a maximum power output of 21 kW, so they aren't just used for showers, but can also fill up a bathtub quite quickly. They also don't hang inside the shower, but on any nearby wall.
They're connected to three-phase power with a 32A fuse on each phase.

It's not an unsolved problem, I recommend the recent Technology Connections video titled "Induction cooking - but what about woks?": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzJKxUCKOBg
Malaysia is already doing the first one.
We're talking about two different issues though:
1. Blocking or redirecting some pages when using the ISP's DNS server. This is what you're talking about. The workaround is to use a third party DNS resolver.
2. Intercepting all unencrypted DNS traffic to any DNS server and redirecting it to the ISPs' DNS servers. This is what Malaysia was planning to do.
And the author worked at Redhat when he wrote the article in 2021.
For a German investor that's not a good option for two reasons:
1. Buying US dollar money market funds will add a whole level of currency risks which you might not want.
2. Using a foreign broker is a tax nightmare in Germany.
Apart from that the German broker market is highly competitive with multiple choices where you can buy European money market funds basically for free.

"All the health benefits" meant the benefits of not drinking.
I had a blog article of mine on the HN front page a few years ago and the nginx serving static pages from an ultra cheap VPS didn't even break a sweat.
