To fuck with computers that don't know how to do UTF8, add a few emoji.
Even better, add some byte sequences that are invalid UTF-8.
Die Älteren unter uns werden sich noch an den Wechsel von DM zu € erinnern, als in Restaurants die Währungsymbole ausgetauscht wurden, aber die Beträge gleich blieben.

Gibt es da nicht da nicht die ganzen Rankings von Zeitschriften (Focus, …)? Was Schulen angeht, Bayern vermeiden. Da habe ich schlimmes gehört. Da herrscht (pedagogisch) teilweise der Muff der 1950er Jahre. Gebiete, die von Klimakatastrophe (Dürren, Überschwemmungen, Küste) betroffen sind, meiden.

I guess this refers to MiG-24 vs. F-15. Wikipedia writes:
The appearance of the MiG-25 sparked serious concern in the West and prompted dramatic increases in performance requirements for the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle, then under development in the late 1960s. The capabilities of the MiG-25 were better understood by the West in 1976 when Soviet pilot Viktor Belenko defected in a MiG-25 to the United States via Japan. It turned out that the aircraft's weight necessitated its large wings.
Many projects accept donations, for example for server costs or travel expenses (conferences, meetings). You can setup recurring monthly transfers to projects whose software you use most often. Examples are the Free Software Foundation for various GNU tools or the KDE project.

Seemingly not mentioned so far has been "Battlestar Galactica" (the 2000s version). Less about exploration, more about survival, with action, character development, and philosophical/religious questions.
I recall hearing that already during the classical antiquity the Greeks and later the Roman could have invented steam engines (for reference of their technical skills see the Antikythera mechanism), but the abundance of cheaper slave workers made this economically infeasible.
