Is your org entirely FOSS code, with literally nothing private/proprietary? Because if not, Codeberg was never going to be a good option for you, it only allows FOSS (and not even all licenses IIRC).

Codefloe is a Forgejo instance that, AFAIK, hasn't decided to make any decisions on which technologies are allowed, and also allows private projects in addition to FOSS. Are they trustworthy? No idea, but if you want to be sure everything is private, you have to host your own shit anyway. Which most of us don't have time for.

Crypto may be tainted in the US where banking systems are okay,

Are they? Even fucking Bitcoin has faster transfers than ACH lmao

For people in authoritarian countries, it is the only way to fund journalism and civil rights organisations that are illegal in their countries.

That's literally the US pretty soon if not already tbh.

They actually kinda do? Any oncoming car with matrix headlights doesn't blind me and when I had them (well, projector based adaptive lights actually), I never got flashed at.

IIRC they even blocked out cyclists and pedestrians though I could be wrong.

And unlike simply having dim lights, they still illuminated the roadside enough that I could see the animals before they'd jump onto the road.

Manufacturers supercede parts in the middle of a model's lifecycle all the time, sometimes doesn't even coincide with a facelift

Could be that they replaced the parts with a newer design already

They could be pointing up too if improperly adjusted

Far more important that the annual safety and emissions inspection checks the angle. Definitely does where I live.

Yeah, we shot it from a helicopter…their meat tastes sad. But this one we shot from a helicopter…The last moment they have is running free. And then we kill him from the helicopter

My now over 20 years old Mercedes did about 5 when I had it. An E-Class wagon, so not a very small or light car. 2.7 liter inline 5 diesel.

My current nearly 20 year old Audi doesn't match it but that's because it has full-time AWD and I got the wrong version of the 3.0 tdi, with 171 kW not 176. 176 has higher injection pressure and a newer Bosch EDC version (17 vs 16) that does more with pilot injections and everything, giving it an extra 50 Nm of torque AND ~2 liters less fuel consumption. Right now I'm doing 6-7, but the car is also hilariously quick since it's remapped. Oh well, at least I have the Bosch CP3 pump so I won't have to worry about metal in my fuel shavings like the CP4 folks.

The hybrids aren't a consumer choice, companies like BMW, MB and Audi put MHEV technology on their normal diesel and petrol engines these days so they could call them hybrids. It's a 48V integrated starter-generator, it only really helps when accelerating from a stop, but at the very least it's cheap to add compared to a proper hybrid battery and extra motors and whatnot.

Diesel is pretty much limited to commercial usage. I’m sure some idiot is driving a diesel truck around but that’s not common.

11.4% pure diesel, but I'd wager a lot of the hybrids are diesel hybrids. From all the big German companies, if you buy a diesel now, it'll be a diesel mild hybrid at least.

And if you click on the source data link in the article, you'll find that it was only new Pkw registrations, not Lkw. Personenkraftwagen = people carrying vehicle, Lastkraftwagen = cargo carrying vehicle. And you can even register pickup trucks as N1 instead of M1 making them Lkw rather than Pkw. If you were to register a large American pickup truck, you'd probably better off registering it as a cargo vehicle so you'd be taxed on weight rather than on its gigantic engine.

You can get diesel wagons that do 4l/100km extraurban. Makes up for the little fuel price difference. Every other used car imported to Estonia is a diesel that started its life in Germany.

There are currently about 230k diesel cars on sale on mobile.de that aren't classified as SUVs, pickup trucks or vans. I even excluded minivans from the search. If you add all the crossover SUVs (VW T-whatever, BMW Xwhatever, Audi Qwhatever), you'll have even more and those are still not really trucks.

Both of them. Dario started doing it when he was still in OpenAI and now does it with Anthropic.

The existence of the lump payment at the end reduces the monthly payment

You've been able to do this with Apple devices in my country for years through the retailer. Phone carriers used to do something similar
