This is hilarious to me. We make 400g for 2 (normal sized) people.

Not in general. Typically, games with kernel level drm or anticheat just didn't work at all.

Borderlands 2 specifically has a native Linux version though, and it may or may not abuse this fact. It isn't run in a sandbox-like environment like Windows games that run through proton, but according to protondb it does run through proton? In any case yes, it's probably better than running it on Windows.

Edit: looks like running through proton is recommended, as saves aren't interchangeable (wtf?) and at least some dlc just doesn't work with native version (wtf do).

Absolute zero issues with netcup (EU/de). Also comparatively cheap usually, and has frequent sales (always the same offers, afaict).

DNS is included with Domains, but I'm using desec.io as my DNS mainly for full dnssec compliance (free, de based, if registrations are open, works with certbot DNS challenge for letsencrypt).

I have no idea why you're being down voted. The whole thing with flatpacks is that they come from a large number of individuals, maybe the author of the software, but often not from a central organization you can trust. That's the fundamental difference to distro repos, who can just have a single anchor for trust.

Mindlessly signing something doesn't increase security in any way. Then requiring it just means hassle to having to add keys to be trusted every time you want to install anything. Malicious actors can just create a key and sign the package as well. That's the whole reason it isn't required in the first place.

It's a massive red flag. It implies that they are actually storing the password instead of a (preferably salted) hash and that they have no idea what good security practices are. Storing a hash leads to same size strings, no matter the length on the password.

I assume op is English speaking, but just fyi this doesn't work in every language, would make things a lot simpler.

A simpler and cheaper way to achieve this is to only buy games you want to and will pay right now. You spend less money on just increasing the ever growing back log. Maybe even reduce it eventually. And if you do want a game and you want to play it right now, it doesn't really matter what it costs in comparison, as they is probably a game or two per month. The backlog becomes the focus.

And the significant spacing between the columns.

Last time I checked, cargo eBikes are 3500€ and up, so in that context it isn't that outlandish. Is still not something I'd get over an actual cargo eBike.

Maybe it's for people with higher end bikes, or those that don't have the room for multiple bikes?

Wasn't recall supposed to be disabled by default and opt-in when it re-releases? At least that's what I heard like a month or so ago.

Edit: clarification/typo

Both yes and no. The store is part of a chain, and orders it's supply from them, who send out trucks from central warehouses (some exceptions may apply, like local eggs/milk or produce/fruit, or frozen goods), with only what is needed at that time. They know when and how much they usually need (typical weekly, or annually for holidays and such), and what they will have room for. Due to order volumes of the chain and purchasing power at that volume, including attached contracts, this usually works out. If not, some shelves might be empty, it happens.

Keep in mind that the warehouse aren't days away, and do have supply. How quickly they can get stuff in depends, but might be "tomorrow" if needed. Also friends if a delivery is already scheduled and/or if it has room and so on.

I understand you're trying to be helpful, but don't assume others are in the same country as you. And don't assume it's the same everywhere as wherever you are.

There are employees, but if it happens to be crowded, they are all at the registers (unavailable for questions). If they are not, they are stocking some shelves somewhere, but it's 1 or at most 2 people in the whole store, so you can of course go find them, but you'll walk through most of the store until you do. There is no "in the back" anymore for stores around here, as they have very little to no storage. Everything goes straight to the shop floor, with just a sort of staging area (people only go there for literally seconds).
