I have an 8-wire phone line (twisted pair) between floors. I connected it with an RJ45 socket and it connects at Gigabit speed.

If you only have four wires available, it will usually still work at 100 MBit.

Get one with a Bosch CX motor (at least Gen4 or newer with the smart system). They are market leaders here in Europe and they usually ride really well.

Canyon (German brand) sells bikes in the US with this system: https://www.canyon.com/en-us/electric-bikes/electric-touring...

Wow, that is very expensive. Yeah, we're are having a second solar boom here, I installed a second small 2 kWp system on our garden shed for about 700 €. I'm adding a small 5 kWh battery on top so we can use all this generated energy.

I'm in my 13 year and with 10 kWp I'm still generating a maximum of about 8000 W on warm days (which lowers the efficiency). I don't know any neighbours or friends who have had to replace a module.

Are you sure about not breaking even with Solar panels? Here in Europe modern Chinese panels with 450 Wp can be bought for about 50 € a panel. These panels last 20 years without problems. Even just installing 5 of them will lower your electricity bill by a lot (and can be done by yourself if you have little knowledge of electricity).

Using a thin microfibre cloth between keyboard and screen prevents this.

Bosch and Siemens produce home appliances through B(osch)S(iemens)H Hausgeräte GmbH (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSH_Hausgeräte). They are not lending their brand to another manufacturer.

If you do not need a domain you can also publish a static page as your blog on Github: https://pages.github.com

The only way to find out would be in the Whois data, which is anonymised. The provider and registry will still have at least your billing information, but without a court order no user will be able to get it from them.

If you are publishing from your own (German) domain in Germany, you will need to add an impress with your personal address.

Get a .com domain from a provider with Whois privacy and don't add an impress. Done.

It's 27% for BYD and it was introduced end of October 2024, I guess it had no big effect on sales.

Germany: 2.891 new BYDs compared to 232.886 new BMWs in 2024. I haven't seen one yet, even though I usually check for new cars.

There was a similar project a few months ago that tracked changes/pivots/shutdowns in startups. It was a very light site, unfortunately I lost the bookmark or forgot to bookmark it. Can anyone help me here?

It's a 30-year-old house, at the moment I live in a similar old house. There is a considerable amount of renovation that needs to be done on houses that old, this house also has an energy efficiency rating of F, which is the worst. You need to invest at least €150,000 on top of that to have a reasonably modern house. It's also not decent to live on a 250m2 plot, which is probably the smallest space you can put a house on.

"You won't be buying in downtown Munich, but that's very far from average Germany, and you could definitely be buying within half an hour of decent public transport to downtown Munich." - Please show me an offer for a decent house in this region.

Try buying a decent house in Germany with 4000€ netto, which puts you in the top 10% income bracket. Then come back and tell me, you're a rich person.

This is not the case anymore with modern transmission having 8 to 10 gears available. See https://www.theautopian.com/heres-exactly-when-automatic-tra...

I drive a BMW with a 8 gear automatic, it's always in the gear I want it to be, and I was a stick advocate for many years, no need for it anymore.
