If you want GrapheneOS without funding Google, why not get a secondhand Pixel?

Thanks! Fediverse FTW!

Found a German store that ships them internationally.

Apparently, Stalux is a sub-brand of a German company called Eulit. AFAICT, Stalux specialises in stainless straps, whereas Eulit-branded straps tend to be other materials and made in Germany.

I haven’t yet found confirmation that Stalux straps specifically are German-made but please post a link if you have one. The product listings for that store say the Stalux straps are made in Germany. Great!

Hopefully I’ll find a UK seller, to avoid the Brexit surcharges.

I fear so, but I hope at least some are made in a democracy. Taiwan, for example.

Thanks. What’s your source for that list? I think you’re right that those measurements are factors in the final “bot score”, but I expect there are many other measurements also factored in.

If you look at my OP, though, you’ll see my browser passed the checks but was still blocked, which Cloudflare said shouldn’t happen.

It pops up on which page?

I can’t see it on either of the pages mentioned in my OP:

• https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-challenges/troubleshooting/challenge-solve-issues/
• https://browser-compat.turnstile.workers.dev/

I’m getting this issue in Chromium.

Like you, I’ve encountered it especially often in the last 3 weeks or so. Thanks for confirming it’s not just me!

Do you have a link to that feedback form, by any chance?

I eventually managed to find contact details for the webmaster for the site on which I most recently encountered this. Hopefully they’ll fix it in their Cloudflare configuration.

Failing that, I’ll try User-Agent spoofing. Failing that, another ISP, or VPN.

Cloudflare is already wrongly flagging this Linux box as a bot when it connects from an ordinary domestic ISP.

Surely it would be more likely to flag it if it was connecting from a VPN exit node.

No VPN present in this particular case.

This reminds me I need to have another look at Ledger, Beancount, et al. More info at https://plaintextaccounting.org/

Nice. It would be good to put the distro name beneath each logo, for people who don’t recognise the logos.

Your mum is a rounding error.

The article does not mention mountains. Mountains are often more suited to trains than planes, cf. Switzerland.

The article does quote Anna Hughes of Flight Free UK, who echoes my sentiments: “The reality of decarbonising travel will inevitably be travelling a lot less, investing heavily in rail, and only then electrifying the flights that remain.”

France’s short-haul flight ban is excellent and more countries should adopt it.

As for “counterpoint”, no-one here disagrees with decarbonising island routes rail can’t serve. Still, I’d favour sail or electric fast ferries over aircraft where possible.

I’m all in favour of decarbonisation.

Still, the physics mean aviation will never be as energy-efficient as high-speed rail.

Governments and others should overwhelmingly invest in the latter. It has higher RoI.

Plenty of shallow people in the world, sadly, enjoy vicariously living even shallower lives than their own.

IPMI/BMC have been known problems since 2015, if not before.

For a beautiful moment after reading the headline, I thought this must be an uplifting piece about European weather systems.

Then reality set in 🫠
