‘Mustermann’ is more like an artificial placeholder name, that gets used on facsimilies of passports and drivers licenses used as example illustrations.

“Muster” in that context also means something that is only for demonstration purposes, not the real deal. That word is also printed across prints of Euro-bills when they are depicted somewhere in order to avoid charges for producing counterfeit money.

Afaik there are actual people with that last name, but that’s pretty rare.

I was thinking Mustermann is more like John Doe in that regard, but John Doe is also used for a hypothetical regular, average person and we have “Otto Normalverbraucher” for that use-case. (“Normalverbraucher” literally means ‘normal consumer’, no real person has a name like that)

OP’s question is aimed more at a last name, that is very common and stereotypical, almost boring. While the close translation of Smith Schmitt/Schmidt/Schmid also fulfills that criteria the even more regular one would be Müller and Mayer (or one of its spelling varieties)

Those three names are so common that “Müller-Mayer-Schmidt” has become another phrase used to refer to the average citizen archetype.

Me too. I was in elementary school when I used to play this and sharks were just too damn cool.

The problem with CLI is it can’t be made easier with a different interface.

That’s what TUI (like ncurses) is for.

Q.E.D.

That’s a pretty screwed up way to view society. ‘Debutante balls’, at the least the ones I know, are usual events where teenagers dance with partners of the SAME age.

This is more an elitist networking event with the chance to get your offspring to hook up with someone of ‘suitable’ social status.

Historically speaking, the age gaps might have been a lot bigger, but I guess societal norms and laws were also different then.

Of you course you can’t avoid older people on the sidelines ogling, but presenting that as the main purpose of the event is a pretty big stretch imho.

And regarding grooming: that’s not the typical definition, either. Usually grooming is a tactic to make the abuse victim accepting of their abuse. Waiting for them to reach legal age before ‘cashing in’ on that effort is not a usual part of it.

I agree it might be a hypothetical scenario though, that could be played out to do some really fucked up manipulation long game, while staying within a legal framework. But then again, that doesn’t strictly require the predator and victim to be related and if you want to have a way to abolish that, it shouldn’t need to rely on that either.

Same.

I can also order tea with milk on an airplane.

That’s about it, though.

Doesn’t need any incest laws for that, when child abuse is already illegal, though.

Or do you think the predator in that scenario is gonna wait for her to reach legal age?

All I can say is, that I’ve at least been to both ends of this journey.

This could have been in a de-motivational poster format. And I’d happily welcome those back.

I’d say Iraq is missing on the top of that list.

Thanks for the elaboration. I think I get it now, but yeah, the benefits would be limited.

Gotta take a look at Ansible. I’ve never used it before.

Looking through the titles in different languages, it seems wild to me how different they sometimes are. Polish and Serbian also use some variant of Jonatan. Makes me wonder why, they felt the need to change that.

I don’t know, but wouldn’t have guessed that Jodocus was a common name in Dutch either, that needs translation to be more common sounding in another language.
To me it sounds like a made up name, that vibes with the character being a duck.

I don’t know if that would be practical. I’m not aiming to clone my system. Those machines have vastly different hardware capabilities and use-cases. Also I know much too little about networking at all and one of those machines (the Frankenstein’s Computer) is in a completely different household, so i’d have to sync it over the internet.

But maybe you can elaborate a bit and explain why that might work well for me.

Thank you very much for that detailed and very helpful first-hand experience report.

It sounds like your annoyances might bug me too at some point. But I probably won’t mind them as much on those secondary machines (and I don’t hate Kmines as passionately 😉)

I dunno, I haven’t found that version on wikpedia. But I know him by that name from the German synchro and afaik the Dutch original also calls him that.

A first look at their wiki makes it seem tempting. Low maintenance is exactly what I’m looking for, however I have zero experience with immutable systems (and I’m not even sure I completely understand what that means). Do you have any experience how well that works when using some proprietary software. For one of my use-cases Discord is (unfortunately) a hard requirement.

That sounds pretty good.

I’m looking at Leap, specifically since I don’t want to have to update constantly, and don’t mind a bit older software for those machines. I just want something that’s easy to maintain and somewhat ready to use, even if I haven’t touched it for a few months, and Arch just tends to break if you don’t update regularly.

The only thing I need up-to-date is a browser and Discord, which I’ll probably install via its own flatpak anyways.

It feels pretty German out of the box

I am German myself, and I’m not sure how I have to take this. 😅 Out of my mouth this could be both a compliment and an insult, depending on context.

Maybe I’d like to be consumed, if they sweeten the pot enough for me. 👉👈

Die erste Folge die ich von denen gehört hab waren fast 8h Interview mit Heidi Reichinnek. Hat mich circa ne Woche lang beim Kochen begleitet.

It’s not Jonathan, but Jodocus.

But I agree, Alfred J. Kvakk is legendary and very much recommended.
