chill. they will give you a short time to respond, usually just one week. ignore that, its bullshit. they will send another letter every week, increasing their demands. if they send letters with tracking, refuse to accept them, so they return to sender. they cannot prove that you got these letters.
ignore these idiots as long as possible. the only thing you MUST respond to is the big red letter from court, where they try to get a “title” over you, which means you MUST pay. reject their request 100%. pay them nothing.
maybe, if you are polite, send them a “cease and desist” letter, in german “unterlassungserklärung”, where you promise to NEVER upload that content again. but not the original version! use the version from www.abmahnwahn-dreipage.de (“modifizierte unterlassungserklärung”). use a regular letter, no need for tracking. they actually have a right to go to court for this, but they rarely do, because court is expensive.
sadly, too many germans are stupid, so they pay the “fine” (its not a fine, its just a false demand by another citizen, zivilforderung). often its children who do the filesharing, and its the stupid parents who pay the fine and then hate their kids… or these lawyers love to send these letters for filesharing of porn, in the hope of destroying the relationship between husband and wife.
this should be basic knowledge for everyone in germany, then this shit would stop, and we could simply use torrents instead of stupid OCH/usenet.
its also funny that they demand repair of damages (schadensersatz) for content which is propaganda, causing mental damage or waste of time. see also: out of shadows (2020).
I just transferred all my domains out of Namecheap into Porkbun. I think Porkbun is 10 to 50 cents more expensive than Cloudflare, but they seemed a bit easier to use and could hold all my TLDs. So far, a way better experience than Namecheap!
I just said the truth that my Dad had cancer and I went home to spend time with him and then take care of things after his death (1y gap). Kinda annoying how they still ask me that even 8 years later, but at least there is usually some sort of apology or regret after I tell them.
I don‘t know why it didn‘t work for you, maybe it only works on compassionate people and I got lucky. Good advice though, no need to be truthful in interviews.
I’ve had some good times journaling, but it’s been hard for me to start up as a regular practice. I never know what to write about. Do you have any suggestions from your own experience on what to focus on for someone that’s just getting started?
I was on the same distro for ~10 years, roughly 2010-2020, before I got pulled into the “Apple ecosystem”. (Still use Linux on all my servers, though!)
Is believing in Anarchism illegal in the USA? I don't think so. The only way in the USA to get on a watchlist is to be either a high felony criminal or a terrorist. Neither the CIA nor the FBI have the time and resources to monitor everyone at the same time.
Never heard of them, but just looking at a registrar comparison chart, their renewal costs are pretty high. eg. $20 for .wiki renewal at Porkbun and $30 at Hover. Maybe they bundle in a lot of services along with it that make the price worth it? but unless you’re taking full advantage of those (if they’re offered) then you could def get a better deal elsewhere.
