Believe me, as a German, that pisses me off as well...

As much as I'd like to, I don't try starlink for the exact same reason. (Although Starlink has other reasons why I'm not going to give them any money)

Yeah, I have to vehemently disagree with that one. Rick is anything but a fascist and very different to Elon...

That's not entirely true, Norway and Australia are the two on top of that list, the U.S. comes in fourth. I believe it would be possible to reduce the U.S. part even further and I also think it's inevitable it happens, because Norway and Australia don't slap tariffs on it - so they are going to be cheaper as well.

Germany's Election and people are relatively robust. The efforts Russia pooled in to the AfD are tremendous and they resulted in mostly nothing. The resulting chaos in the rest of the parties are mostly their own doing. The SPD and CDU bickering and fighting stupid battles that do not need to be fought, the greens not being united and still trying to make many things outright illegal, the FDP not getting rid of Lindner and the Linke/BSW being way to far up that Russian ass came about without considerable effort from the Russians. Also, Germany has the same issue like all countries these days, "the common people" do not want to deal with politics

They can just shift countries. 32% of Bluesky users are from Brazil, ~ 7% from Japan, ~ 4% from the UK and 2% from Germany.

You should loose the comma, then i agree with you. An authoritarian controlled economy will fail. A controlled economy is an absolut must.Without rules, that's anarchism. That will fail either. Case in point: The USA. None of the rules are enforced and capitalism gone wild just bought the government outright.

Name one. Price hikes are not illegal in any country in Europe. Changing prices after selling and other shady stuff is illegal in most European countries on the other hand, but this is not it. If the 55 were on sale before, a "sale" price can be axed as most see fit. This screams coincidence and bad luck to me.

To get ultra wealthy, you have to go over corpses and be radical and very detached from reality AND your own humanity and humility. Because if you're not, you'll stop yourself and give back eventually.

Didn't know that exists, that's pretty neat! However, not really what i'm looking for in this case, because i don't want to use a device other than the printer itself. With scan to folder, you just set the MFP to scan something to an FTP, SMB or whatever folder. The ET-4850 unfortunately doesn't support that, so i'm looking for an alternative...i could just run a Windows VM on my Proxmox and let that do the "Scan-To" stuff, but that's pretty resource intensive... But the more i look in to it, it seems there is no solution (except a Windows VM) for this, as SANE only "speaks to the MFP" and the MFP can't talk to SANE via WSD...

That's none encrypted and i don't really want to push some sensitive invoice data unencrypted to somewhere else...

 

Hi, I recently bought an Epson Ecotank ET-4850. Pretty happy actually with the printer itself, scanning quality is also quite good. However - it has a fatal flaw that i was not aware of.

I had an Epson WF-3620 that was able to scan to a folder, where Paperless-NGX then could do it's magic. The ET-4850 doesn't support scanning to a folder. It does support WSD, but that's not really convenient...

Is there a way to do all this with a Raspberry Pi or another device that's connected to the MFD?

 

I was just scrolling through some of the referendums...what exactly is going on here?

So Season 12 (or 9, the count is vague) has been a bit of a mixed bag for me, but i absolutely loved this episode. Granted, it isn't that the writing is that great, but overall and including the Themes and Throwbacks it's a solid 8/10 for me personally.

You see, "The Three Investigators" have a very special place here in Germany and they are very popular - i and many others grew up on them and i still love listening to the audio books. They don't take themselves overly serious and it's just innocent riddles. The homage Futurama paid them was just great!

Same goes for Tin Tin's Adventures, i've been glued to the comic books as a kid and they do a really good job there as well.

The last one fell a bit short, until Neil DeGrasse Tyson came up and had some really great one liners. And well, LeVar Burton is just LeVar Burton. Awesome Episode for me, but i may be very heavily biased on this one :D

I've been running my most recent Server built for quite some time now. I think Uptime was somewhere around 5 Months. Absolutely flawless. A few Days ago i started to have issues. Hard-Locks, Freezing...but absolutely zero log entries. Nothing. The Server was built with "off the shelf" Hardware and no ECC (even though the Ryzen CPU technically supports it, at the time ECC 3200 MHz Memory was still a lot more expensive than it is now) and is running a ZFS. Risky business, but it's "just" a home server. Would never built a server running mission critical stuff like that (and I've been doing that for over 10 years now as my main job). Over the last few weeks, i've been trying some stuff and had a pretty high memory load.

In any case, i also like Astrophysics and have some newsletters about Auroras and so on. They are extremely rare, here in southern Germany to occur. Yesterday we had one of the biggest and brightest I've ever seen.

But it got me thinking about my hard locks and crashes and i remembered, i had an account for ESA's SSCC (SSA Space Weather Coordination Centre). They have something called "Post-Event Analysis", where you can correlate certain timestamps to real time data, for example from DSCOVR ("THE" Space Weather Satellite).

For Auroras to occur, the so called "Bz-Value" is important. Basically, it tells the direction of the interplanetary magnetic field. If it's direction is towards the sun and towards the charged particles the sun throws at us, they get deflected. If it's with the direction of the solar wind, the particles "come in" and produce auroras...because the charged particles charge other parts - they generally charge oxygen, which results in green auroras - they also can do all sorts of stuff (and that's why spaceships, sats and other stuff floating around in space need shielding). The Value is measured in nanoTesla(nT).

There's also the Kp-Index...which was 7-8, out of 9.

So yeah - i'm pretty sure, i experienced a Single-Event Upset/Bit-Flip. Amazing stuff!

Hi,

been running PiHole with my FritzBox as DHCP Server for a while now. Just got Fibre and the new router doesn't support "only" setting an upstream DNS (neither does it support setting a domain suffix/local domain). I've switched the DHCP off and now PiHole does DHCP as well.

The FritzBox and the new Router added the domain suffix to recognized hostnames automatically, so even if i set up a fixed IP-Address on some device or machine, i could always use the hostname.local.domain without having to set a reservation.

Can PiHole/AdGuard/Technitium even do this? Do they need some extra configuration? PiHole does recognize the Hostnames correctly for some devices, but most are missing: For example, my Proxmox host was reachable with "pve.domain.local", it isn't with PiHole, even though PiHole identified the hostname. My Homeassistant isn't recognized at all, even though the IP-Address is showing up in PiHole. The Domain under "Advanced DHCP Settings" is set up.

Am i misunderstanding something or did i configure something wrong?

Thanks!

Der Umstand, dass die Recherche keinerlei technische Daten zu den beiden Anlagen in Sierra Leone zutage fördert, steigert die Neugierde noch ein bisschen. Vor allem aber gibt es ein Problem technischer Natur: Sollten Thoronkas Angaben auch nur halbwegs zutreffen, er könnte mit zwei Anlagen dieser Art 1500 Menschen und 15 Schulen mit Strom versorgen, dann müsste ihm eine Entdeckung gelungen sein, die das gesamte Fachgebiet der Piezoelektrik völlig auf den Kopf stellt. Was erst recht die Frage aufwirft, warum kein Fachmann und kein Fachartikel davon weiß.

🤡

Mag jemand noch ein paar Globulis?

Beide Phänotypen spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der Arena der Weltretter, dort, wo Geld- und Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie aufeinandertreffen. Der Betrieb braucht beide, um weiter zu rotieren. Was er dagegen ganz bestimmt nicht benötigt, ganz im Gegenteil, wäre ein Elektroingenieur in der Jury. Um Jeremiah Thoronka zu zitieren: Die Reise ist noch weit davon entfernt, vorbei zu sein.

 

Und wir fallen drauf rein. Inkl. tausender Batterien, die einfach so in einem Feld herum stehen. Grün am Arsch...

 

Hi,

for various reasons i have two routers. (In fact, one is a FritzBox hosting various SmartHome stuff, another is a Speedport from Telekom Germany, that also does the Internet Connection) The WiFi on the FritzBox is also a lot better and right now i don't have any need to get anything better (all that matters has Rj45 anyway).

This however also is an issue, because i can't easily host something. I have however a Hetzern Server as well and i have tried some zerotier, but i have failed to set it up correctly. Is there an easier way or has anyone something like an How-To for this that works?

Thanks :)
