German words to show the importance of capital letters:
wagen - to dare
Wagen - car, cart
reifen - to mature
Reifen - tire
ahnen - to suspect
Ahnen - ancestors
arm - poor
Arm - arm
reich - rich
Reich - empire
samt - together with, along with
Samt - velvet
weg - away, gone
Weg - way, path
bar - cash
Bar - bar, pub
elf - 11
Elf - elf
fest - hard
Fest - Party
And no: "Party hard" is not "Fest fest". That would be too easy.
Enjoy our language!
I've been watching Jenny Nicholson's Evermore video and god it's such a trip and I'm mostly just sad that the cool questing theme park they're promising doesn't exist and has never existed :( https://youtu.be/L9OhTB5eBqQ

People on Twitter wished for an edit button. One of Hive's security vulnerabilities allows even more: You can edit posts of other accounts.
I think I listened to that album a lot while working bc it's the right amount of chill, but it's also just really good
I could post my Apple Music year playlist but idk if I want to

Covid
German media are falling over themselves reporting how the (absolute) #covid numbers in #China are farther away from zero than ever, and how China has failed.
Strangely enough, they never report *relative* case numbers, at best mentioning the population size.
Shall we compare, dear Germans?
WTF is this, a propaganda campaign to also make China suffer as much as we did?
I wish the Youtube playlist feature was easier to use, rn it's only useful when I see multiple videos I want to watch on the landing page

some further explanation from a reply thread (long)
well yes, any moderate to large server, or god forbid, a fleet of servers (such as a CDN or load balancer/etc) can absorb such a load with no issue — I certainly have no issues with the load imposed by such a request flood
but especially as surplus metal becomes cheaper and cheaper (you can get a dedicated server from OVH for $6/mo, not even to mention how little you can get a VPS for now, or running a server on your home connection with a raspberry pi) there are a lot of sites out there with no real brunt that are nonetheless expected to be able to handle loads comparable to large organizations
mastodon is supposed to be a form of champion of the indie/decentralized web, but its design instead abuses and punishes those that create it
in this very thread I've had someone talking about their experiences having their wiki that's linked in their bio constantly taken offline just from people replying to them or boosting their posts
not even to mention the effect this can have if someone links an expensive endpoint. for example I run a rendering service, which up until now didn't have much in the way of caching/etc because it was a fairly tough problem to design a solution for, and to finally implement
if someone were to link that old version of the service on mastodon with even a modest following, it would go offline immediately, and not recover for an hour from the backlog — what do you think happens if the request fails?
if someone wanted to keep that service offline for any reason, they would only have to post a link to it, and keep editing that post every hour, or making new posts every hour. the backlog would only grow, and grow. after enough time, instances do give up, but you only need to put a new job in the top of the queue...
