he wrote, adding, “Proven experience matters when lives are at stake.”

Which is exactly the reason a 31-year veteran with experience got that job. I'm constantly impressed how Musk manages to always phrase his bullshit in a way that makes crystal clear it's nothing but insane ramblings.

What are the reasons that politicians in Romania are hesitant to join the Eurozone?

Well... Take a guess why pro-Russian politicians are the ones loudly against it and why Russian-financed desinformation campaigns are targeting the poor/rural population with horror-stories of high-inflation caused by the Euro...

Extrapolating from other countries who did the move the EUR adoption brings slight inflation in the short-term but long-term much easier access to investments from the rest of Europe, easier trade, as well as an uptick in tourism-related spending (mostly from EUR-using European tourists).

The total length and duration of traffic jams in the Netherlands increased this year, ~~despite~~ caused by the opening of several new roads

At what point do we start to call out people constantly ignoring induced traffic as fact-averse idiots?

...and all of them are using base 10.

I do manage them via git. But I only do it so have settings (and their changes) synchonised between 2 PCs and a laptop.

With just one main device I don't even see a reason to "manage" anything... a basic backup strategy completely independent of just dotfiles aside.

Boxer is produced by Artec which is a cooperation of Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei-Wegmann (now KNDS). Or the drive module is... as modularity was the main goal the mission module part also has a lot of third party producers.

But it started as a German/British/French coproduction... up to the point when orders for the production of several different prototypes fitting the requirements were given to several different European companies and they dared to not pick the French contender. Whch then later became VBCI.

That would be alot of work (and some space) but should be doable.

But just for your personal access to the wiki archwiki-offline and arch-wiki-search already exist (in the AUR).

...or Boxer ...or APACHE (the most rediculous one actually)

...and probably MGCS after that.

Interesting. I just quickly changed my PC's resolv.conf to use 86.54.11.100, so not DoT in that case either...

Now I am slightly confused... For filtered entries I would not have expected a timeout on specific queries anyway, but a proper answer with an error.

That's a spontaneous slightly tin-foil idea, but can your provider block stuff with certain content before reaching the server? Can you try with DoT for encryption?

Edit: Okay, there is definitely something strange going on with that server. If I try to use it over DoT I also get timeouts for archive.is

So I'm going back to my original assessment before -surprisingly- DNS4EU resolved it properly for me. And I will keep to not expecting anything positive from that EU project...

The new law got introduced in August 2021 and offers a ten-year period to provide your documentation.

Not surprisingly for DNS4EU as that behavior was exactly what everyone was expecting when that service was announced...

Fortunately there are several free and uncensored alternatives available in Europe. Bonus point: Take the 3 extra minutes and finally set up properly encrypted DoT or DoH (DNS over TLS/HTTPS)...

PS/Edit - As a starting point: digitale-gesellschaft.ch (Switzerland), digitalcourage.de (Germany), uncensoreddns.org (Denmark) are the ones my home network queries at the moment...

PPS: DNS4EU has an explicitly unfiltered one, also DoT-compatible: unfiltered.joindns4.eu (86.54.11.100) that resolves those archive links for me
