It always amazes me how Kennedy is lauded as a paragon of virtue, stolen from us. In reality, he knowingly lied about the missile gap to deliberately mislead the American public and smear Eisenhower to ensure his own victory in '60.

This is what pandering to the far-right has done in Germany. In 2021, the Greens were a threat to the CDU/CSU. So Merz, SΓΆder and the right-wing media did everything they could to destroy them with an unprecedented anti-Green and anti-Woke campaign. The result of that has more than doubled the AFD!

This term seems to be gaining traction recently for some reason. Calling it the "East Berlin Wall" makes it sound like it surrounded East Berlin. In reality, it enclosed West Berlin and only a small part of it passed through East Berlin.

Broken line on the cycle lane means that you may drive in it, but the cyclists have priority. My interpretation of this layout is that motorised vehicles should drive in the central lane, moving over to the left to pass oncoming traffic only when there is a suitable gap in the cycle lane.

In general, I'd tend to agree. I tried tunnelling my P2P traffic through the VPS I use for edge transport to my email server a few years ago after a warning from my ISP, but it was just too expensive. Most of the VPN services are dodgy as fuck though, it is true.

Nord are very cheap, for example. I wouldn't trust them if I was actually trying to hide something, but they don't appear to be owned by a dodgy MOSSAD or NSA linked malware company and they allow you to use open source clients if you choose.
Aldo McAldo (@aldomcaldo.bsky.social) reply parent
Avoiding P2P strikeS from your ISP, accessing geo-restricted media & accessing age restricted content from a country like the UK without going through age verification. Typically that's a LOT of bytes transferred, which makes it difficult to compete with one of the not-a-total-scam VPN services. >

Does this really work out cost effective when you consider transfer? If you understand that VPN services don't give you security and don't guarantee your anonymity, the main use cases are: >

Perhaps you read a different article, this one doesn't say that. The figures also don't really make sense. e.g. 800,000 kWh/yr, so around 100kW output if run 24/7, 200kW if we assume it runs 50% of the time. Depending on type, a single wind turbine can generate up to 15MW, orders of magnitude more.
