  • You get ‘punishment’ for the act, not the means/method. Stabbed to death or shot dead is -for the law- the same wrong doing. Same goes for speeding. You broke the speed limit, the tool you used is irrelevant. So when an object -high-hooded truck- is a risk for the public, then make them illegal. Set limits to dimensions.

    Don’t get me wrong, i’m not in favor of high-hooded trucks, they ARE a bigger risk, they ARE ridiculous, they ARE waste of natural resources, they ARE 9/10 a compensation of some form and in towns they ARE unpractical sized, but violations any driver makes is just that violation. It has no relation to the vehicle itself.




  • To me backups in the cloud are no backups. I could never physically get to the disk and someone else controls my account.

    My 1st backups go to a NAS (with encrypted raid disks) in my garage that is 35 meters away from my house. The 2nd backup are encrypted files (encrypted disks are not practical, it’s a challenge after power-dips etc) to a storage at my daughters place. That second option goes via my own vpn which also gives me the opportunity to go out on the internet there (convenient for some tv shows my wife wanna see)












  • In the Netherlands most of the PB …

    fun-fact: Butter is a protected name in the Netherlands and as a result of that, they can not have peanut-butter. Just pindakaas (peanut-cheese and no, i’m not making this up)

    Yeah, though many like Calve, I prefer the home-brands. But in Sweden it’s less common and not nearly as good. So this could be perfect for making peanut sauce as well.
