  • I’ve had the opposite experience with their cloud services in a professional context. My biggest gripe is with United Internet, the monopolistic company that owns IONOS, 1&1 (an ISP) as well as the ad-ridden, flaming pile of garbage that are GMX and WEB.DE, two of the most popular email service providers in Germany as well as a constant source of pain for anyone operating an Email server. They will ignore common industry standards and best-practices, silently block your mailserver for absolutely no reason, not respond to inquiries and just generally make the internet a slightly worse place for small to medium sized businesses and selfhosters.











  • Blue Locks animation fucking sucks and was a result of poor management and unrealistic time constraints. That the final result is even watchable, given the production woes, may be a credit to the poor animators and editors, but it doesn’t “work well”. The existence of worse animation doesn’t make it better either. A minimal animation style can work, if it was planned from the beginning, but that wasn’t the case with Blue Lock.


  • That doesn’t sound like a fair assessment to me. I wouldn’t touch the game in question with a 10 ft pole, but not because I’m scared of being influenced by it. This will make people become sexists and rapists in the same way that gay porn makes people gay and violent murder games make people violent murderers. Of course, there are certain groups of society that need to be protected from media like this, but that’s hardly a new concept.

    Personally I’m more worried about the weird, predatory Android Play Store fetish content aimed almost exclusively at young children.



  • Imagine a tool that gives you a language in which you can describe the hardware resources you want from a cloud provider. Say you want multiple different classes of servers with different sets of firewall rules. Something like Terraform allows you to put that into a text-based form, make changes to it, re-run the tool and expect resources to be created, changed and destroyed to match what you wrote down.
