<p>> "None of the database guides I followed had warned me about the dangers of exposing a docker containerized database to the internet."<p>This prompts a reflection about, as an industry, we should make a better job in providing solid foundations.<p>When I check tutorials on how to drill in the wall, there is (almost) no warning about how I could lose a finger doing so. It is expected that I know I should be careful around power tools.<p>How do we make some information part of the common sense? "Minimize the surface of exposure on the Internet" should be drilled in everyone, but we are clearly not there yet</p>

<p>Beginning 2013, there is the semester tickets for students, which is twenty euros per month.<p>Before that, 70 euros? Where were you living, Freising?<p>Two external rings were around 50 euros at the time, and many students rent inside the (old) 4 inner rings, or the first external one if you study in Garching</p>

<p>Ah, but then your first comment is highly misleading, because when you talk number, readers assume cost per year.<p>You are basically saying that living in Europe in a university city cost anything between 6000 and 20000 euros each year.<p>Maybe a bit high, but I think I can agree.<p>But living is a cost all around the world, and universities in Europe add a very low overhead on top of it, while universities in US can easily triple your cost of living, so I still don't see your point</p>

<p>Uhm, what?<p>If you live with your parents, and the university is free, where does that number come from?<p>And if you don't live with your parents, you live with others students, spending 600-1000 euro month for living, how do you reach that numbers?</p>

<p>I am curious on how this will reflect on the Ukraine invasion: as far as I understand, Wagner was a huge source of soldiers on the front lines.<p>I am sure this coup, however it will ends, is a major source of distraction from the war. Meanwhile, Ukraine is pushing east: will they be able to use this coup to liberate some territories?</p>

<p>> - You have to register your current address with the local authorities (anmeldung) after moving into a new place. By itself this seems fine, but it also seems to bea prerequisite for a lot of life necessities like getting health insurance and a mobile phone number.<p>True. However, this is the case at least in CH and IT as well (in IT you will probably have also a visit from the local police to check that the place is up to some standards), I grow up thinking this was common in EU - isn't it?<p>> If you are in Germany and run a website, you need to have an Impressum on your website that states your address.<p>Kinda: if you run a _commercial_ website. My blog doesn't have my address.<p>> - There is a "Stop and Identify" law (Personalausweisgesetz) that requires you to be in possession of an identity document, and hand it over instantly when asked to by any authorities, with substantial fines for noncompliance.<p>There is no mandate to have the ID card with you in Germany. In Italy there is.
You must provide your identity to the authority over request, but you can also have your ID at home.<p>> - Wi-Fi portals always seem to have a great deal of personal data entry before you can get on the Internet. Apparently there were previously laws that put a great deal of liability on whoever ran a Wi-Fi network, which meant that businesses were naturally loathe to offer one.<p>True and incredibly annoying. Things have slowly improved, but a lot still request too much data.</p>
