Those are some peak water polo nails.

I don't think I've ever seen someone wearing cycling specific clothes for normal commuter trips. Other than maybe putting on a rain coat/pants over their normal clothing.

Teams not working at all is already way better in my opinion

There's actually an HAI video on that. Those names were actually a direct result of an attempt by Amazon to curate their products better. https://youtu.be/_Bq-6GeRhys?si=ih1eyBLJwo7KAVuS

The workaround Germans seem to have discovered is to have roadworks that last indefinitely.

Yes we do,

However they don't hold much power over the day to day workings of the country.

The current monarch is essentially an ambassador that travels around the world for state visits and diplomatic talks. Similar to what a president and foreign minister would do.

What kind of storage usage can I expect from running this? I would also assume that the database would heavily prefer solid state storage?

Between power, hardware depreciation, Usenet/indexer fees and VPN I probably pay somewhere like €50/month to curate my own media collection.

I'd be happy to pay the same for a legal platform that has all the content I want in the same place, like Spotify for music (which I use and pay for).

Right now the piracy experience for movies/series is simply superior to the legal experience , so there is absolutely no incentive for me to switch things up.

For some reason every registrars dns panel has its own weird restrictions, bugs and interface quirks. Pointing the nameservers to Cloudflare at least makes for a consistent experience.

Some of that blame is on Amazon as well, they send out emails to people that bought the thing being like "someone asked X about the product you ordered, do you know the answer?".

I've always said that he'll die while narrating in the recording booth.

Linux is where a lot of the actually interesting stuff is, so I highly doubt they don't have a bag of exploits for that.
