This is for Butter? I use this for eggs.

It's all about "follow the science" until it doesn't align with their opinion. WHO actions are sometimes questionable and the intentions are not always quite clear, but it's the same source of information that was used before, when covid was all around.

Tbh, I've never worked in such an environment. I know somebody who told me similar things and I would love to hear more about this to form my own opinion on this. But it's just not that deep. When I say corporate, I mean it's full of GUIDs and only machine-readable names, commands and configs. It's also most of the time not designed with the flexibility in mind and covers only the most commonly (used by the company supporting it) use cases. It just doesn't have the free spirit which most of the open source tools, which are designed with humans in mind, have. If you need to supply a parameter to get output from a command that is often run manually while you could also have one to deactivate output for script usage. This seems like the wrong way to go.

But this is some Docker shit. For myself Docker always feels a little corporate. It's just not very conventional with these multiline commands just to run a command inside a container. Especially the obligatory "-it" to fucking see anything. It's not really straight forward. But if you get used to it and you can make a lot of aliases to use it more easily.

They don't like it because it's mostly implemented in microsofts favor. It's shipped with microsoft keys by default and needs to be disabled to boot a lot of linux distros. If there was a more unbiased way to load a new os like a default key setup routine at first boot or a preinstalled key for major linux distros they wouldn't be so hostile towards secure boot. The technology isn't bad and it's the only way to not have somebody temper with your system at rest without TPM.

That's true, but it's not just one minister's opinion. It's the Federal Minister of the Interior who is directly responsible for public security, under which the data retention debate falls. And regarding the chatcontrol debate, it's precisely this minister who represents Germany in the Council of the European Union, which is trying to find a common position on chatcontrol.

Even if I deeply like the Idea, something like this could backfire if it's done constantly and not just once. But I would like to see a law that makes the usage of government communications mandatory for all government-related communication while storing everything revision-proof on their servers with different access rights. And a second law that makes it possible to access it by requiring petitions to be singled by a low number of people. Less extreme but still makes it harder to be corrupt.

Meanwhile, Federal Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser (SPD) is fighting for the storage of IP addresses and port numbers without cause

Sounds like a VAC ban.

I am using windows on my desktop mainly for gaming and with proton even that wouldn't be necessary but there are times when you need to execute a windows binary and it would take less time to just use windows. So after october 2025 I will try to use KVM with PCI passthrough. I imagine another advantage will be to not have windows accessing my hardware and be able to snapshot the drives plus running all the windows traffic about my vpn without relying on software inside windows.
