Some of these choices are a bit weird. I selected cybersecurity expecting to see my instance but it returns sh.itjust.works instead. But infosec.pub does appear in general technology sometimes so the site knows about it.

Don't worry, it touches the balkans too. Germany isn't the bottleneck.

Not when it's between trucks, no.

(I think the initial title said busses too and in a brainfart moment I followed along)

Thank you, it also means the busses do not have a uniform color making them harder to spot. Even if it's a "nice" ad it's still an ad.

Doing so at the beach? Next to a fireplace in a cabin? I can think of many better places tbh

Do you count herbal tea? We have a lot of that in southern Europe. Here's some from Greece (probably not exported though) https://www.finoherbs.gr/en/product-category/teabags/ This site is very low on details but most of these herbs grow here naturally and they probably do in adjacent countries too.

Yeah it's not a great example, the difference could be on whether you'd have to do y and z before getting there or they'd give you the materials to do them on the spot. Say signing a form they provide vs finding it, printing it and bringing it with you.

A parentheses-like mark to group parts of a sentence when it's not clear which part a word belongs to. An example I saw lately that may not translate very well: "You are required to arrive an hour early so there's time to do x, do y and do z". Are you required to do y and z or do you just need the extra time to do them? You can usually tell from context but this type of mixup does happen sometimes.

That works well with bookshops too. On the other hand I haven't had much luck with local supermarkets/convenience stores.

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

To be fair that's probably because you were searching for Carcassonne which you can find pretty much everywhere. The problem with local is finding a store that actually sells what you want.

With clothes for example you can look through every shop in a commercial area and still not find what you're looking for if it's not currently in fashion in your country. Second hand shops are very good for this and I have many clothes from the UK and czechia this way. But this only really works for clothes.

I might try finding it later but still no idea what to do with the field, sorry :p

Edit: Direct flights to most EU capitals might have been a bit of an exaggeration :)

No answer here, just wanted to say you inadvertently wrote one of the most interesting geolocation challenges I've seen.

At times I need to open the developer console/inspect element panel from my phone. The Kiwi browser allowed you to do that but its development has stopped. Are there any other browsers that have this function? Either chromium or firefox-based is fine. Alternatively, do you know of any other workarounds for this that do not involve a computer?

¡Buenas! Empieza lemmyvision otra vez. Es una competición como eurovision donde las comunidades de países en lemmy compiten con sus canciones del último año. Si quieren participar como feddit.cl dejen la mejor canción de Chile de 2024 aquí. Más información en https://jlai.lu/post/15932635 o !lemmyvision@jlai.lu

PS: no puedo ayudar mucho, las únicas canciones que sepa de Chile son de Ana Tijoux.

 

Disclaimer: it feels like a lie to claim this is Athens as it usually looks nothing like this but this specific part was very pretty.

Some context here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thessaloniki_Metro

This seems to have flown under the radar a bit but it's a similar case to the metro project in Ho Chi Minh. It took an eternity to finish with the first hole being dug in 1989 and it finally opened to the public last month. It had become kind of a meme due to all the delays and changing of hands among now-bankrupt companies and with every government promising to open it (it's had at least two opening ceremonies years apart). Now a month later it's still having issues and is really small, mostly serving the center but it's the first driverless metro in Greece with modern stations and also featuring a museum so it's promising.

Well, future landmark. This was fun, kudos to those who did it the whole month.

 
 
 

Remembering to not touch fresh ink is apparently a hard skill.
