I'm using contabo and the VPS I got is advertised as 1 Gigabit. When I do a speedtest or use iperf3 to connect to public servers I get pretty close to 1 Gigabit. But from my residential IP the speed drops down to 100-250 Mbit/s. My home internet connection can handle 500 Mbit just fine.

I'm looking for a new hoster with a better network connection. What real world speeds do you get with your server?

I just listened to Tatsuro Yamashita's City Pop classic "SPACY" and at the end of the Track "Umbrella" (at 3:22) I heard a snippet that sounded incredibly familiar. That guitar slide with the harmonics.

Some other track must have sampled it, but I can't put my finger on it. I think that the sample was used at the start of the track and that the track had a mostly ambient vibe. Does anyone know who sampled this?

What's your opinion on hydro modding? I just picked up some silicone oil (slightly more viscous than commonly recommended, but I think it will be fine) to hydro mod my casio digital watches (F91W, A168WA).

Frage an Elektriker: Ich habe einen Ofen gebraucht gekauft und nach einmaliger Nutzung ist er defekt. Der Ofen wurde falsch angeschlossen. Es wurden 230V angeschlossen, aber die Brücken haben gefehlt. Eigentlich hätten sie an die grünen Stellen gemusst. Die durchgestrichenen Leitungen sind nicht angeschlossen.

Nun ist der Ofen defekt als wäre kein Strom angeschlossen. Es tut sich absolut gar nichts. Meine Frage: Wenn man den Ofen so anschließt, ist es dann zu erwarten, dass er nach einmaliger Nutzung kaputt geht, oder sollte der Ofen so eigentlich mit geminderter Leistung laufen. Ein Mitarbeiter eines unabhängigen Miele Reparatur-Service meinte zu mir, dass mein Defekt vermutlich nichts mit meinem falschen Anschluss zu tun hat. Ist die Aussage so korrekt? Kann ich davon ausgehen, dass der Defekt nicht meine Schuld war?

I often find myself defining function args with list[SomeClass] type and think "do I really care that it's a list? No, tuple or Generator is fine, too". I then tend to use Iterable[SomeClass] or Collection[SomeClass]. But when it comes to str, I really don't like that solution, because if you have this function:

def foo(bar: Collection[str]) -> None:
    pass

Then calling foo("hello") is fine, too, because "hello" is a collection of strings with length 1, which would not be fine if I just used list[str] in the first place. What would you do in a situation like this?

I'm currently using a VPS from contabo and am curious if I would get better performance CPU and disk I/O wise because of the dedicated resources. The bigger VPS from contabo seem to be in a similar ballpark to the cheapest options available in the hetzner server auction when it comes to corecount, ram and disk size and price.

Ihr wisst schon: Bootloader kaputt, fstab kaputt gespielt, GUI will nicht mehr. Passiert hin und wieder mal und dann hilft es ein Live Linux zur Hand zu haben. Was nutzt ihr? Einfach Ubuntu? Oder irgendwas spezielles?

I'm new to the container world. Does it have any security benefits when I run my applications as a non-root user in a docker container? And how about Podman? There I'll run the container as an unprivileged user anyway. Would changing the user in the container achieve anything?

It was sold to me as a 2011 gushu sheng puerh. Would be grateful for any further information. It's around 80g without the box and heavily compressed. I haven't unwrapped it yet.

Wascht ihr eure Tees? Ich habe es zunächst immer gemacht, aber irgendwann hat die Faulheit eingesetzt und ich mache es mittlerweile nicht mehr.

Sometimes when I am using goto definition I get errors like this one

E5108: Error executing lua: ...t_nvimeitLsr/usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:1964: Invalid window id: 1000
stack traceback:
	[C]: in function 'nvim_win_get_buf'
	...t_nvimeitLsr/usr/share/nvim/runtime/lua/vim/lsp/util.lua:1964: in function 'make_position_params'

	/home/user/.config/nvim/lua/user/plugins/ide/lspconfig.lua:80: in function 

What could be the cause of an error like this? Whenever this happens I have to restart nvim.

the config in lspconfig.lua:79 looks like this:

        opts.desc = "LSP: Jump to definition of symbol"
        keymap.set("n", "gd", function()
          telescope.lsp_definitions(ivy)
        end, opts)

Any ideas?
