I remember seeing a documentary about a village in Germany, where many houses were damaged by geothermal plants, caused by water entering layers where it usually didn't reach and the material there taking in water and expanding. So it probably depends a lot on the local geology and also on the depth. I sadly don't remember how deep the one in the documentary was.

I know a few people that got geothermal heating installed for their homes (in Germany), which goes a lot less deep than something intended for whole cities or districts. The one at my friend's home is 50m deep, and it looks like anything less than 400m is considered "near surface"

I don't think it makes sense to compare those efficiencies, as one is for converting heat to electricity, while the other is for converting sunlight. If you use sunlight to heat water and then use that for a steam turbine, the efficiency is similar to a photovoltaic panel. The efficiency numbers are still useful, but only when they refer to the same starting point for the conversion (e.g. only comparing things that turn heat into electricity).

Thank you, from a quick glance it seems to be able to do everything I need. I will try it for my next load test.

The only thing I still use Postman for at work is when running API performance benchmarks, as I wasn't yet motivated enough to write a curl wrapper to do such tests and plot the results. Especially when doing things like ramp up etc. it becomes more than a simple for-loop.

Can someone recommend an existing command line tool for that?

Ps, this gave me an idea for possible vegetarian branding: names like "not a burger" seem to still be allowed, so a line of foodstuffs called "not a sausage" etc might be fun.

That's definitely gonna happen, there's already a plant drink brand named "this is not m*lk" (including the censoring) in Germany, as here a similar ban is already in effect for the word "milk" to exclude soy milk / oat milk / ...

Also, even zsh scripts don't read your .zshrc by default.

The author seems to be Ellis Rosen (I searched based on the signature in the comic)

As far as I know, if the vehicle's top speed is not above 6km/h, there are a lot less rules in Germany, e.g. you don't need a license and also no TÜV certification. Don't know how fast a barbie car goes though.

Do most packages usually have a manual entry ?

Usually there are manual pages for commands, for libraries and drivers like libwacom it is less common, and they are not necessarily the same as the package name. Some packages also just have a Readme file or an HTML manual installed under /usr/share/doc or similar.

When unsure, I often just check the list of files that belong to a package, most package managers can do it. E.g. on Debian-based (i.e. apt using) distros, dpkg -L $packagename will list it, in arch based distros it is pacman -Ql $packagename.

I also thought this was a scam like "energized water" and similar, but then found that there are actually medical studies being done on it: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10816294/ But that review paper also says, that larger sample sizes are needed and the mechanisms aren't explained, so it may turn out useless after all.

In the EU, cars have to be equipped with automatic emergency call systems since 2018. So probably since then most brands will have had it, as they are required to have cell connection hardware anyway.
