So nah sich CDU und AfD in manchen Themen sind (Einwanderungdpolitik), so sind sie bei anderen Themen doch sehr weit auseinander (Z.B. bei der Haltung zur EU).

Ich glaube Österreich zeigt ganz gut wie schwierig es sein kann, mit solchen rechtsextremen Parteien wie der AfD und FPÖ zu koalieren.

Er hätte auch in Trumpischer Manier alles durchdrücken können, was er versporchen hat und damit Deutschland gegen die Wand fahren lassen können.

Da er eine Mehrheit im Bundestag finden muss, kann er das eben nicht. Er braucht die SPD für jede Abstimmung.

Das dieser Teil der dt. Demokratie nicht von seinen Parteimitgliedern verstanden wird, macht mir Sorgen — auch wenn es mich nicht überrascht.

I've never used them but I heard about them in the context of private DNS and VPS hosting. E.g. they act as a middleman to shield domain the shield the client from authorities (at least to some extent — they still have to follow the laws).

Given their focus on privacy I'd trust them for torrenting at least as much as the other options. As a first VPN I'd say it's great because of their flat 5€/m price. A few years ago I used Mullvad for that purpose — until they removed port forwarding.

I just want to mention that the forwarded port provided by the VPN must match the one configured in the torrent client. Buying a VPN which offers port forwarding is not enough.

Not all torrent sites require an open port. E.g. MAM works without an open port. It majorly impacts your ability to seed) but that isn't a problem because of how much bonus points you get. TL does not either.

That's fine. It completely depends on your threat model and your preferences. To this date I haven't heard anything negative about PIA except their owners, so it's fair to trust them. I just want to point out that you can have both with other providers.

Generating a random account number is a unique and great feature of Mullvad.
But other providers allow for the same privacy. E.g. AirVPN does not require a valid email address. Any random string works for all required fields (email, username, password). Payment via Monero is available too. Njalla does require a valid email address (it sends a confirmation mail), but any tempmail provider works (which you could access through Tor). They also accept Monero.

Leider ist das Gang und gäbe in wsl. allen (?) Regierungen. Von der Leyen, Merkel etc nutzten SMS und in der EU wurde auch schon Signal & WA genutzt. Dass die Chatteilnehmer der Dokumentationspflicht nachkommen, bezweifle ich stark.

I2P is not an option because I'm using a VPN for regular internet traffic. As much as I like the idea of I2P, there's just no I2P torrent sites with the selection of content I want.

Tor is not an option for torrents.

Given there're alternatives I'd rather choose an independent service instead.

But that's a personal decision which is why I mentioned PIA with the disclaimer, instead of ignoring them.

If you want port forwarding the choice is between AirVPN, ProtonVPN and Njalla. Iirc PIA also supports port forwarding, but their ownerships reputation is no good.

Mullvad, IVPN and many other services don't support port forwarding.

nur für eine Reihe von bestimmten Straftaten wie Mord, Vergewaltigung oder Menschenhandel erlaubt ist.

Mal sehen wie viele Jahre es dauert bis weitere Straftaten darunter fallen.

[Es sollen] Kommunikationsdienste „im Einzelfall zur Entschlüsselung und Ausleitung von Kommunikationsinhalten an Strafverfolgungs- und Gefahrenabwehrbehörden“ verpflichtet werden [...]

Na super, damit würde dann wohl Signal aus Deutschland verschwinden. Im Vereinigten Königreich hat Apple auch schon E2E-Verschlüsselung für iCloud entfernt (standardmäßig deaktiviert), da Verschlüsselung nur noch mit staatlicher Hintertür erlaubt ist.

Trying to actually restore is the best way to ensure the backup works. But it's annoying so I never do it.

I usually trust restic to do it's job. Validating that files are there and are readable can be done with restic mount, and you've mentioned restic check.

The best way to ensure your data is safe is to do a second backup with another tool. And keep your keys safe and accessible. A remote backup has no use of the keys burned down.

What if we got to easily choose our web browser, and didn’t have to rely on complex operating system settings to change the pre-installed default?

Do you keep the default browser on your Linux distro, or do you change it? If yes, why?

Counter-Strike 2 will give players a rank for each individual map. Players will also receive a single rank based on the Premiere mode (pick-and-ban maps for each match).

It's quite rare to see articles that compare Linux and Windows gaming benchmarks so here it is from Computerbase. Translated by Google Translate as the article is originally written in german.

tl;dr

OS: Arch Linux Kernel: Zen Kernel 6.4.8 Mesa: 23.1.5

Average FPS are identical in FHD, while Windows is 4% ahead in WQHD. 1% Low FPS are 16% and 15% higher on Windows respectively.

Raytracing performance isn't playable, so it is not included in this benchmark.
