Toto on Max's 10 in a row: It's not something that would be important for me, any of those numbers. It's for Wikipedia. Nobody reads that anyway

Yep... Max's dominance seems to be a side effect of the new regulations for closer racing, IMO. The new regulations favor Max because he is so consistent and fast while still having a bit of a margin, combined with a now very reliable car, and a good portion of luck as well. I still think it's more interesting to watch than the previous years. Max is, while more consistently in front, still closer to the pack than Hamilton in his dominant years.

I'd also lay a lot of the "problems" of the sport are also due to the attitude of the fans praising the winner in an "all or nothing"-fashion instead of focusing on the battles for 2nd-10th as well. F1 already did try a lot to change this, IMO (DotD, fastest Lap, new Regs, TV-directing)

Authelia + Bitwarden + other selfhosted stuff

Authelia is an authentification provider. So you can have a single login for all your services. It can provide autorisation and authentification with a single unified login.

Bitwarden is much "simpler", in it's just a passwordmanager. As soon as you start sharing passwords, like you do in bitwarden, you lose the authentification part, even worse, you lose control over the shared login. Anyone with autorisation can "steal" the login as in unauthorized copying/distributing the password or even changing the password alltogether.

With an sso like authelia you can mitigate such attack vectors.

Nazi symbols and child pornography found in German police chats

The label "nazi" just makes it easier to point fingers at them. It's much more true that assholes, racists and fascists are simply everywhere. In every country and every society. We as a society need to do our job and fight for our rights, fight against the uprise of organized egoism.

There are recent examples, where we failed. f.e. russia, afghanistan the list goes on...

You're also wrong. Mainly, It has to do with the thermal capacity/mass of the building and not with differences in insulation values.

There are pros and cons for all building types.

Wearing a gun may give you some protection, but it also brings you a false sense of security and introduces countless new risks while negleting the source of the issue. If you're actually living somewhere, where it's "normal" to wear guns it's a far better idea to just relocate. But then, many folks are just scared and don't actually gain any increased safety from wearing a gun.

disclaimer: opinion here ofc deciding if it is bad depends very much on the viewpoint. But yourself as a human should probably view it from the viewpoint of mankind in general. And then, yes, it is undoubtably bad. It is going to cost humankind an unimaginable amount of money and it'll increase inequality and unfairness in unimaginable amounts. That's also why there are so many people denying or not believing it. A lot of humans are uninformed or unable to grasp the issue on a logical level simply because of the scale of the issue.

For completeness, we cannot say for sure if we even exist. The universe could very well just be an imagination and nothing really matters, including the laws of physics and our understanding of magnets.

Klipper vs Marlin

I was once at the exact same point where you are now. Marlin+octoprint really is good enough for most cases once you're up and running.

I pulled the trigger for klipper a couple of years ago and honestly never looked back. Mainsail is just so much more refined and usable than octoprint. Tuning Firmware Settings in klipper is so much simpler than marlin, it's just a breeze.

Combined with modern controller board (f.e. mks skipr), modern drivers like TMC2209, sensorless homing, Canbus-toolhead, resonance measuring, mmmh... chef's kiss ;)

Borrowing money against their stuff to get more stuff to borrow money...

I feel you and I'm glad you asked. The goal of my comment is to invoke interest so one can go down the rabbithole on ones own terms. This has a much more sustainable effect than just serving information on a boilerplate nobody asked for. Much like a catchy title/thumbnail on a yt video generates clicks, but the actual information does not.

There are a lot of resources about LVT out there including some educational videos in an entertainning way. Pick your own poison: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=georgism

My Standpoint: Our present tax system is bad (almost worldwide): Tax based on value generated (like income, sales and import taxes) costs society a lot (real costs but also opportunity costs) while simultaniously not solving a lot of todays issues (f.e. tax evasion, old money, zone planning / car centric design, pollution, etc.). Land Value Tax (or more precicely: Resource Tax) solves this by getting rid of the penalty for being productive or creating value while simultaniously taxing those being exponantionally wasteful with resources and/or pollute.

With LVT, there is now a penalty free incentive to increase profits and/or efficiency. On the other hand, if you consume and/or occupy resources like land, oil or air pollution, you'll have to pay tax for that derived from the resources scarcity. The sum of the tax would be similar or higher than todays sum and would finance all government spending including a citizens dividend which could be interpreted today as unconditional basic income which would provide for basic human needs.

Georgism is PRO Economy and PRO Humanity. Win Win. Regardless of your political flavor, you should be in favor 😏

Winners: Society, everyone from poor to rich, resourceful entrepreneurs

Losers: old money, polluters, unrighteous beneficiaries of today's flawed legal situation
