Italy's falling birth rate is a crisis that's only getting worse
  • The housing ages as well. Old houses will be torn down and new builds will be regulated to maintain the supply low.

    Demographic will definitely also have impact, but so much money is tied in REITs that some sort of bailout is inevitable in case the prices crash.

  • German housing crisis: 'Like winning the lottery!'
  • Yet there if always mountains of money for ridiculous projects like superexpensive highways in the city or car subsidies. But building new affordable housing is always refused with an absurd excuse like "we don't want to distort free market principles".

  • Do you usually purchase digital or physical books? Why?
  • I pirate most of the books I read. I am not a millionaire and space on the bookshelf is limited. I only buy physical if I want to treat myself with special edition or a book not available digitally.

    God bless Anna's archive!

  • Can a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8 GB of RAM handle my needs?
  • Look into beelink mini s12 pro for example. Currently 199 eur on Amazon. Just install Linux on it and Bob's your uncle. It's x86 so no weird arm issues. Full support of the hw in mainline kernel.

    Intel, 500 GB SSD , 16 GB ram, GPU acceleration, WiFi 6, Bluetooth, 1 Gbps link. You can add another SSD drive. Raspberry is clearly an underdog here.

  • Italy to stop sending speed camera photos over privacy
  • In Germany they just always censor shotgun seat with a black rectangle. Precisely because of the same issue, someone's wife got hold of photo taken by the speed camera, with the husband and another woman on it, the guy sued and won privacy infringement claim.

  • Worth the risk
  • It's an infernal machine. My wife bought it secondhand for pennies and is making smoothies for kids with it. But damn at full throttle it sounds like a jet engine. Whenever it stands on the kitchen counter I carefully tiptoe around it scared it will suck me in and pulverize me into fine tomato paste.

  • Whats the nost bizzare local story from your city?
  • In Berlin, in 2004, a letfist local newspaper Taz initiated a move to rename part of a street their office is located at in remembrance of Rudi-Dutschke. He was a prominent socialist activist in the 60s, even survived assassination but unfortunately died a couple of years later.

    Another newspaper, Axel-Springer has their headquarters on the same street. The same company did play significant role in dissing the student movement Rudi-Dutschke was part of and some believe they are indirectly responsible for the assassination.

    What ensued was a long legal battle, where the court had to decide whether the street could be renamed. Taz won the court case and in 2008 the street got its new name.

    In 2009, Taz installed a sculpture displaying well-known editors of Bild (owned by Axel Springer), the most sold tabloid in Europe. Their chief editor Kai Diekmann (sic) sports an oversized dick that goes up to the roof of the building. Of course Bild tried to sue, but they lost and the sculpture is there to be enjoyed to this day.

    In Germany, you can have fun, but it must be blessed by the court.

  • What's Your Preferred Server Monitoring Method?
  • I use collectd and graphs on my openwrt router. It can even use data from mqtt-connected thermometers and gather metrics from other collectd instances.

  • how do you cook with soy sauce?
  • Take some leftover rice from yesterday, or prepare some by steaming.

    Heat a pan, drop a tablespoon of oil in. Fry any form of fresh garlic and ginger in it. Throw in the rice. Stir, mix, fry.

    Then mix the soy sauce into the rice, mix. Start with smaller amount, you can add more later. Crack an egg or two and pour them in. Mix for a while until the eggs cook.

    Top with a spring onion, Lao gan ma chilli crisp, sesame oil, sesame. Serve.

    Most of the ingredients in the recipe are optional, you really just need the rice, soy sauce and eggs.

    If you like porridges, try making some congee, it is easier if you have a rice cooker. The rest of the recipe is almost the same as with the fried rice above.

  • Fuck Facists, never again
  • I wholly recommend Slavoj Zizek's take on the 1st part of the 9th and its appropriation by different dictatorships and ideologies.

    There are better songs if you want to bash fashs.

  • Sauna dress-code across Europe
  • In Czech Republic & Slovakia it is usually a towel to sit on & being naked. Optionally you can wrap yourself in a larger towel or something like that. Most people respect it, but I did experience one woman being told to not wear swimming suit or leave the sauna area.

    How is it in Denmark? I've seen beautiful saunas there, where you just jump to the sea to cool down. I NEED TO KNOW!

  • OpenSUSE Leap 15.5 -> Tumbleweed conversion
  • Don't do it. Instead of doing something useful you will be in a constant process of updating and rebooting and dealing with breaking changes and eventually you will give up and switch back to Leap.
