Ich war an einem Gymnasium in BW (lange ist's her) und wir hatten für die zweite Fremdsprache freie Wahl zwischen Französisch und Latein. Die Empfehlung (aber nicht Pflicht) war, dass man Latein nur wählen sollte, wenn man vor hat, in der Oberstufe das sprachliche Profil und damit noch eine dritte Fremdsprache zu wählen. Als dritte Fremdsprache konnte man dann das wählen, was man nicht als zweite Fremdsprache gewählt hat oder Spanisch. Ich glaube, theoretisch hätte man auch Altgriechisch kriegen können, das hat aber nie jemand gewählt, weil das eigentlich fast nur für angehende Theologen interessant gewesen wäre und die waren dann direkt in der Klosterschule im Nachbarort statt bei uns.

That's the reason why I like C#, ASP.Net Core and EF Core so much. A simple CRUD app can be written in under 10 minutes and easily deployed in any form from a self-contained binary to a docker container to whatever eldritch horror lurks behind Azure or k8s. Personally, I run docker swarm mode for my stuff because it makes automated deployment super easy, kind of like a leaner k8s but if I wanted, I could just drop a binary on any windows, linux or macOS machine without needing to install any major dependency apart from my database.

Edit: of course, ASP.Net Core has its downsides too. Especially when it comes to auth stuff. I wish I could have something as simple as devise + cancancan in old versions of Rails.

It's "all" in the sense that it's everything the instance knows about, in contrast to "this server" which is only content from users that are registered on this specific instance. Same concept as the "all" and "local" feeds on lemmy. I agree that a better name might reduce the confusion but I can't think of a good one.

Servers not having the same content in their "all" feeds is not a bug, it's by design. The design philosophy for Mastodon (and I'd say the fediverse as a whole) is to let the users curate their own feeds instead of showing them everything or algorithmically guessing what they might be interested in. Servers will only receive posts from accounts that at least one of this server's accounts is subscribed to. Having every post federate to every server even if nobody there is interested in those posts would be a waste of resources.

Yes, that makes discovery of new content significantly harder but that's the tradeoff for being able to host your own small instance without the need for a super powerful server. I can run my instance that serves just a couple of users on a 10-year-old server that runs a dozen other things at the same time. We see the stuff we're interested in and don't have to spend disk space, processing power and network bandwidth on content none of us will ever read and neither do we have to spend those resources on sending our posts to other instances where nobody will read them.

36 / M / Germany

Pretty much spot on.

タイッツー is definitely taittsuu. Twitter doesn't seem to use a katakana spelling. Your proposal of "tsuittaa" would be ツイッター. Same katakana but different order. There would be no reason to read Japanese from right to left. Might be an intentional pun though.

Edit: it's https://taittsuu.com

They don't owe you anything. Not sex, not a kiss, not a hug, not a second date, not even a smile. If the date goes well, you will get some or even all of those but if you try to force them, you will get nothing. Sure it can be disappointing if you put in a lot of effort and get nothing back but you will have to live with that. Sometimes people just aren't compatible and sometimes a date just goes wrong because of a weird coincidence.

Be nice, even if the date doesn't go as you wanted. Open communication goes a long way and chances are that the person you're talking to is just as insecure as you are. Explain (not accuse) why you don't think this situation will work out. If you're lucky, you can turn the conversation around. If not, at least you're ending the date in a civil way. That also (and especially) applies to talking on online dating platforms. Sometimes you can tell just from a conversation that things won't go anywhere. Way too many people just drop the conversation and move on which can feel pretty rude. Be nice, explain what's up, give them a friendly goodbye and then move on.

Those rules apply to both sides. You don't owe them anything either, especially if they get rude. You should still try to be friendly in case there is a misunderstanding but try to get yourself out of an uncomfortable situation before it gets worse. Your safety is still priority number one.

Edit: some more

Don't expect a relationship to last. Chances are it won't. But this isn't as pessimistic of a tip as you might expect. Even a single day of joy can be worth it if you manage your expectations. I've had a relationship crash and burn after seven years, I've had ones that lasted a couple of months and I've had someone ghost me after the second date. And still, all of them gave me amazing memories that I wouldn't want to miss and they helped me grow as a person. Allow things to grow on their own and enjoy the process. Maybe you will marry that person. Maybe you'll date them for a few months or years. Maybe you will never get past second base but stay platonic friends. Maybe you will spend the most amazing day of your life with them and then never see them again because you accidentally spilled something over their favorite t-shirt.

Sure. I use it as a structured place to keep notes on anything that may be important later, not specifically tasks:

  • Important people in my life (friends and family) with a short bio, where we met, favorite food, allergies, ideas what I could get them for their birthdays, links to their social media profiles, plans for shared vacations, maybe a few photos.
  • Recipes from all kinds of sources. If they are from a video or one of those "scroll past three pages of sentimental nonsense" sites, I summarize them and translate them into German with metric units.
  • Lists with interesting links about 3D printing, software development and so on. Keeping these in a wiki instead of just my browser's bookmarks list allows me to better categorize them and add notes.
  • A list of open questions and project ideas that I can't research right now like "Where is the best place to get custom printed LEGO minifigs?" and "Why do the zfs drives in my home server sometimes have problems waking up from sleep?"
  • Lists of interesting products/books/movies/... that I might buy/read/watch/... at some point
  • Some writing stuff: D&D campaigns, short stories, diary-like entries
  • A list of all computers in my household with hardware specs, operating system and so on

All of those get put into categories and the categories are displayed on the main page via the categorytree plugin. The nice thing about having a wiki is that you have a lot of options for linking or embedding related content while still keeping it somewhat organized.

One doesn't have to be a Trump voter to think openly discussing murder is not okay. Especially because normalizing murder of one's political opponents plays right into right wing extremists' hands.

Just because you have IPv6 enabled doesn't mean you don't have IPv4. Both can coexist on the same network and the same device so your router can be 192.168.0.1 and some IPv6 address at the same time.

On top of that, many routers can be reached by a well-known hostname or domain, depending on their manufacturer. For example, AVM Fritz!Box routers (extremely popular in Germany) automatically resolve http://fritz.box to their own IP address no matter what that IP address is.

In the end, read the manual or the sticker on the device, same as you would have to do with IPv4 to figure out which subnet it is configured with.
