phit_ commented on Deutsche Telekom is throttling the internet   netzbremse.de/en/... · Posted by u/tietjens
0xcb0 · 15 days ago
Telekom is a bunch of strange folks. I lately was not able to send mails, from my private mail servrr to my fathers telekom mail. After investigation I found out my server got blocked. After a decade of working. I mailed them, and they told me to register my mailserver with them. I shall tell them what mails I will send from there and about what content. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Sure, thats how mail was supposed to work. Register with every mail server in the world, before you can send mail.

Their mail excerpt: This system has not sent any e-mail to our customers for a long time. For security reasons our systems will only accept e-mails from such IP addresses after a check of setup and information about these systems.

Please give us details about this system and the company using it, tell us all about the sending domain, what type of e-mail will be sent and especially if you or your customer want to send newsletter give us detailed information on how recipients e-mail addresses had been acquired. Who in person is responsible for e-mail sent from this system (MTA)?

fwiw t-online.de hasn't been owned by Deutsche Telekom since 2015

Skimming this it sounds like pornhub is/was at least partially blocked on the ISP level. Not sure about the extent of the blockage today but I could imagine that these blocks put a dent in their user numbers.

ah they just changed their domain to dot org to get around the block, most users visit sites through their search engine so I doubt many noticed. as of now in germany the org is the first result on google

How is that surprising?

After the US, the three largest Western countries are Germany (which already banned Pornhub), the UK and France, but the UK and France are virtually tied in terms of population, so it was always going to be a tossup between the two.

what makes you think it's banned in Germany?

I wasn't aware. Can you please update Wikipedia then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt

Maybe also get Google to update their docs: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/...

phit_ · a year ago
their own docs also specify that the robots.txt does not stop indexing or showing up in search, they even bolded it "it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google"

The article says that there is no built in tutorial or guide, but that isn't true. For as long as I have played the game, there has been the basic prompts that tell you to cut down a tree and make a crafting table. Accessible from the inventory or crafting table are recipes for every single item you can craft with the materials you have found. That's all the guide you need, as the rest is sandbox. All the progression can be discovered and needs no guide, though people usually use guides anyways.

phit_ commented on TÜV vehicle report 2024 – Tesla Model 3, most issues (German)   adac.de/news/tuev-report-... · Posted by u/tmikaeld

There is something weird in this chart. Clicking on the individual statistics ("Tesla Model 3") shows that it has excellent stats.

https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/autokatalog/marken-mod...

Ah, okay confusing. The original link is about quality issues. The individual statistics are about breakdown statistics.

So quality wise, checked by the TÜV (prerequisite for operating a vehicle in Germany) - not good.

Breakdown statistics, tracked by the ADAC (largest automotive club in Germany) - excellent.

those are accident stats, not inspections

You can also coax google images into finding images of a specific size:

https://www.google.com/search?q=imagesize%3A88x31&tbm=isch (88x31)

https://www.google.com/search?q=imagesize%3A32x32&tbm=isch (32x32)

phit_ · 2 years ago
this used to be part of the search settings, then at some point they just turned it into a dropdown of small, medium and large

good to hear that this is still supported albeit hidden

These ships are a wonder of human achievement. While on vacation in Mexico I was able to spend the day on a boat of a similar age—I don’t remember the details. It really connects one to the past.

its a replica that was only build in 2005 https://www.gotheborg.se/about-gotheborg/about-the-ship/

what a joke, I guess that's one way to deal with their terrible luggage handling.. I've been now waiting since a flight on August 20th to receive my "lost" luggage from them. I guess policy like this is easier than fixing the actual issue.

The only update I've gotten is this email two weeks ago, their hotline and website are completely useless. Via DeepL

> Good day,

> We apologize that you have not yet received your luggage and for the inconvenience this has caused. We regret that we are currently unable to meet our standards for a smooth travel experience.

> Why are there delays?

> There are currently massive logistical and personnel failures and bottlenecks worldwide, which are delaying baggage handling in particular. The world of flying is highly interconnected. We are dependent on our global partners here and are thus confronted with numerous challenges.

> We are working hard to ensure that all delayed baggage is delivered within the coming weeks.

> If you would like to check the baggage status yourself, please use the baggage status page only. Our telephone service centers will not be able to assist with any questions regarding your baggage.

> Kind regards

> Your Lufthansa Team
