I have done Berlin-Paris multiple times. My partner has traveled from Berlin to Manchester with a stop over in London. Berlin-Copenhagen as well. We like traveling by train

On iOS there is GPX Tracker which simply records a GPX track and can overlay openstreetmap data while doing so.

Happy cake day! 🍰

The eagle as a symbol predates the nazis - a lot. The „Reichsadler“ has been used since 800 A.D. as in the region that is now Germany:

The Reichsadler, i. e. the German Imperial Eagle, originated from a proto-heraldic emblem that was believed to have been used by Charlemagne, the first Frankish ruler whom the Pope crowned as Holy Roman Emperor in AD 800, and derived ultimately from the Aquila, i. e. eagle standard, of the ancient Roman army.

Edit: of course the Nazis twisted this as well. To decide, if the eagle has to go, we need more details:

During Nazi rule, a stylised eagle combined with the Nazi swastika was made the national emblem (Hoheitszeichen) by order of Adolf Hitler in 1935.

Despite its medieval origin, the term “Reichsadler” in common English understanding is mostly associated with this specific Nazi-era version. The Nazi Party had used a very similar symbol for itself, called the Parteiadler (“Party’s eagle”). These two insignia can be distinguished as the Reichsadler looks to its right shoulder whereas the Parteiadler looks to its left shoulder.

Because if the military wants something, budgets are big. And they do not need to make money.

As a German I would not say that local cultures were flattened. Germany still has a lot of cultural differences.

I love, how this project was done. Someone wrote and narrated the text, searched for all the music samples and pressed it on a record, when YouTube was already a thing. This is art!

Do you know this very meditative video, explaining the history of the break?

It is cross platform. Users can try it, regardless of the OS and do not have to switch behavior when switching the OS.

Louis picked it up from Gamers Nexus, as he says in the video.

Use a service with card DAV support like https://posteo.de.

My contacts are synced between an iPhone, Linux Mint and a Mac. My Parter syncs between an iPhone and a Windows PC (Witt Thunderbird as mail Client).

I use posteo.de and sync between Thunderbird on Linux, Thunderbird on OS X, Apple Mail on Desktop and iOS without problems. Calendar and contacts, too. My partner syncs between iPhone and Thunderbird on Windows.

The service is a German privacy aware mail service. It is 1€/Month.

Edit: didn’t see that you ruled out Posteo already. I still think it’s a great mail service.

The not ideal solution is storing the backup codes in our password vault.

If you want to have them separated from the passwords and login information I would create a second vault with a different password just for the codes and store them side by side.

Thanks for the advice!

My Apple devices are from work and we are able to use them privately with admin rights. On my private account I have mostly open source software like Quodlibet for my music collection, Firefox, Inkscape, and so on. My Mailaccount is from a small German privacy by design provider. I have a Synology NAS I run Paperless NGX and Jellyfin on. I switch Operating systems regularly.

I think I am well set up 😁.

It’s an encrypted database and I am not tech savvy enough to self host a sync service.

Corporate Users. My guess is, that almost any office job where you work on a Computer has Windows as OS. You have a license for your job. The license for home usage is bonus money to Microsoft.

KeepassXC with iCloud sync is my setup at the moment.

Fuck spez!

Synology has a whole ecosystem with the option to host the footage on their core NAS Products. It is pricey, thou.

Hi! I was in your situation in January. I went for a used two bay Synology 720+ model, that came with 10GB RAM and a used WD Red 4 TB WD40EFRX.

The main reason I switched to a NAS was an easy way to share our children’s photos with my SO. Synology is perfect for this, because the photos app has face recognition and can search through location data, which is coming in handy with 25K photos.

Second thing I wanted to do on the NAS was the whole backup strategy of our laptops. At the moment we rely on cloud backups, but I wanted to change this to a solid 3-2-1 strategy. On top the cloud backup never really worked on my SOs laptop.

I had no ambition with selfhosting, but am familiar with Linux. At the moment I have a paperless instance and jellyfish running. I plan to put some shows for the kids on it, my CD collection and am ripping my DVDs.

Until now the process was very smooth. Paperless has some minor hiccups I could iron out, but the whole Synology infrastructure is really solid.

I picked the 720+ because the perks of a 723+ seemed negligible to me. This page offers a good comparison: https://nascompares.com/guide/synology-ds720-vs-ds723-nas-which-should-you-choose/
