Can't remember the last time I wasn't tired

Well, the definitions aren't really all that helpful. 12pm is neither before nor after midday, while 12am is exactly 12 hours before and after midday.

What passport to use traveling to USA with two citizenships?
Always enter and exit the US with your US passport. Not doing so is illegal.
For anything else, use your German passport, especially in the EU. That's what I have been doing for years.
I don't know if it is an issue for immigration, but you absolutely are required to file taxes every year and can get in trouble if you don't. There's a "streamlined procedure" that you can do if you've never filed taxes to start filing without incurring any fines or penalties.

The complete guide to building your personal self hosted server for streaming and ad-blocking powered by Plex, Jellyfin, Adguard Home and Docker.
Since you only use Plex because of overseerr: There is a fork called Jellyseer that is compatible with Jellyfin. Haven't tried it yet but it may be worth looking into.

How to fool a laptop into thinking a monitor is connected?

Linux supports it, but (some?) motherboards won't boot without a display connected. I had this issue recently when I converted my old PC to a NAS and I had to buy a dummy plug.

It is a huge failure in communication to pretend that distro upgrades are entirely different versions of the operating system. It does nothing but make Linux seem more complex than it actually is.
I don't know, Apple releases a "new" version of macOS with big fanfare every year, and I've never heard anyone complain about it as if it were a huge breaking change.

Except the most widespread definition is the other way around: 12am is midnight and 12pm is noon. As that source argues, 12:01 during the day is clearly after noon, so it must be pm.
In the end my point stands: You can argue both ways and it is confusing.

Both Netflix and Disney+ now have "cheap" tiers with ads, at least here in Germany.

That's a very American point of view. I had multiple science classes (Physics, Biology, Chemistry) and a single Math and History class each. (I'm from Germany)
The different math classes that I know of from the US (Trig, Calculus, etc.) are all just taught in Math class according to the school year you're in.

PHP is dead?
Reply in thread
It has also improved a lot in the last years. PHP5 and especially versions older than that weren't very good and deserved a lot of the criticism. PHP7 and onward are much better languages and don't deserve the hate.

I would subscribe in a heartbeat if I could get a cheaper subscription without youtube music.

Why are keyboards getting smaller?
I switched to a TKL (tenkeyless) to reduce the distance between my hands when my right hand is on the mouse, and it feels so much better.
I got a programmable keyboard, so I remapped the keys around where my right hand rests to be the numpad keys when I hold the capslock key. That way I can still have the convenience of the numpad without having an actual dedicated numpad, although I'm still getting used to using it this way.

This tick’s spit can make you allergic to meat

That's fascinating, here in Germany it's the opposite, at least in my experience. Everyone I know who is vegetarian or vegan (including me) tends to lean more left than those who eat meat.

To add to that: Configure your notifications. Anything that isn't urgent doesn't need to vibrate or make a sound. It can just sit there until you look at your phone. Also, use do not disturb for things like work.

Föderiertes reddit wäre also eher fases oder föses.

There was a guy in the cinema recently who had this feature turned on. He didn't even bother to turn on do not disturb after the first time and he just didn't give a fuck that it was bothering everyone.

Any love for Kubernetes here?
I love kubernetes. At the start of the year I installed k3s von my VPS and moved over all my services. It was a great learning opportunity that also helped immensely for my job.
It works just as well as my old docker compose setup, and I love how everything is contained in one place in the manifests. I don't need to log in to the server and issue docker commands anymore (or write scripts / CI stages that do so for me).
