In 5 countries (Austria, Germany, Norway, Denmark, France) Schengen is effectively dead since 9 years in a row. These countries have filed (overlapping) exceptions with various reasons, meaning that they had continuous border controls on internal borders. Something that according to the Schengen Agreement should be a very rare exception in very exceptional times.

@Natanox @librecast @EU_Commission We're continuing to work on both research and practical deployments for multicast, funded by @nlnet and @NGIZero
We need to make some more noise about the work we're doing and make it easier for others to get involved. Was just discussing this with @onepict this morning 😉
> the last few EU wide multicast deployments mostly used for weather data are slowly beeing torn down
Where did you hear this?
EUMetSat is very much committed to multicast for delivering weather data. I was discussing it only yesterday with the Chair of the MBONED working group.
The CTO of EUMetSat said in June this year that to use unicast CDNs would cost "an order of magnitude" more.
Multicast is very much alive and well, and deployments increasing as data flows increase.
I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".
An actual duck just walked by. 🦆
The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.
Hiring a software engineer in their late 40s:
Pros:
* Understands your stack better than you do after glancing through the repo for five minutes.
* Will rewrite said stack 2x as fast, and half as buggy if you let them.
Cons:
* Gives zero fucks.
* Knows we're not *really* like family here.
* No, seriously, absolutely zero fucks given.
Do not cite the deep magic to me, product manager, I was there when it was written.
The things I learn, even at my age, simply by reading documentation are WILD!

Der Rückzug von Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf ist ein Armutszeugnis für die Bundesregierung. Selbst im eigenen Laden bekommt die Koalition keine Mehrheiten organisiert. Wir fordern bei künftigen Richterwahlen ein eigenes Vorschlagsrecht. Dann klappt’s auch mit der Wahl!
