Some inhabitants of neighbouring flats are still banned from their flat. And it was three weeks ago.

Five houses unhabitable: https://nos.nl/artikel/2605174-vier-woningen-onbewoonbaar-na...

It's also very common with robbing ATMs, usually known as "plofkraak" but that phenomenon seems to have subsided a bit.

That was a rpedicted bomb attacks in one year alone in a really small country. That was 2024 but the phenomenon has only grown. In the end 2024 counted more than 1500 of them! And the government set up a task force: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieuws/2025/04/16/offen...

This article speaks of a drop, but still 100 attacks per month https://nos.nl/artikel/2623950-minder-aanslagen-met-explosie... - which adds up to 1200 in a year.

The jersetters are basically exempted from the strict laws because they bring in money.

Alcohol is illegal there, homosexuality is, even unmarried sex is.

I certainly will never visit there even if they choose not to apply those laws to me as a visitor.

Meaning it's there but not terribly functional. They also said it's unreliable.

I fixed so many sites back in the day by people who thought they knew what they were doing.

I mean the base is fairly secure if you religiously update it, but the problem is you won't avoid using plugins whose security is much more hit and miss, unless you are using the most basic blog site imaginable.

There is the worry of the old saying "they (the attackers) only have to succeed once to win, we (the defenders) only have to fail once to lose.". In that sense there is a big imbalance, but the emergence of AI does not really affect that because it strengthens both sides.

With physical security like things like pipe bombs that's a lot more imbalanced.

However what can we do? The only effective measures include monitoring everyone which is not a solution because it will make the world not worth living in.

Personally I have done both <3

In fact I really feel like a baguette with bratwurst now :P And a 6-week holiday come to think of it.

Besides, 6 weeks vacation is great. Also we don't need to have so much stuff, I don't even own or want a car, something that's very hard to do without in America. We don't have this exhausting desire to make things a race and to be number 1.

PayPal and Stripe are doing it too now.

I also hated that stunt. It undermined their mission, damaged all their goodwill and caused legal hassle. And all the while all these books were readily available to anyone who wanted them via Anna's etc.

They should have stayed on the right side of that line.

You'd be better off with an android tv which you can poke at using adb and disable services. Maybe even root it. And install alternative software like smarttubenext.

Unfortunately there very few Android based TVs left. Phillips recently switched to Titanos, Samsung has tizen, Amazon has a new OS. I think it's just Sony that's left on android now.

This is a really bad thing for those of us who until now have just not connected our 'smart' shit to the internet.

Where I live in the EU they don't do sidewalk otherwise I'd have to look at ways to fight it (disassociate connections or DDoS the devices providing sidewalk routing)
