The petit pipi is very funny to me for some reason.

I also appreciate the translation of “???” for “???”

I am not a computer science major, I studied linguistics.

We’re not falling for your deceit, Noam Chomsky. You probably used some context-free grammar to hack the website.

lol, the “j l’ai lu” domain is pretty funny

In German After is a scientific name for anus, so that’s the back of the boat. Hope that helps

I wonder if it’s a style thing, or for hiding things that a roadman might need.

I scoured their website and they completely fail to explain what they are actually doing on a technical level. I assume it would probably be a GPON network, just based on the offered speed. Not the best type of fiber connectivity, but probably pretty normal for the USA market.

That said, single mode fiber is absolutely the way forward and if you replace the devices on the end it can scale almost indefinitely. So I would jump on the occasion of having some laid to your house.

They don’t have IPv6 and they don’t offer static IPs which both kind of sucks, but it might be acceptable: https://support.surfinternet.com/surf-broadband-fiber-faqs No data caps is good at least.

Concerning your question about the markings, they spell out their process on this page, it does include marking existing utilities: https://surfinternet.com/fiber-optic-installation-process/

Also they’re using “Packerl” for package that’s probably Austria. Maybe Switzerland it’s not like I’m a specialist in mountain gibberish.

As a native speaker of mountain gibberish I can tell you that’s not ours. Either Austria or maybe Bavaria. Their gibberish seems similar to me sometimes.

I think it’s Austria. “Packerl”

Me to be honest. Where, if not in your capital, would you be able to enforce environmental protection of your streams?

Granted our biggest cities are smaller than those of most other countries, but in Zürich, Bern and Basel you see people bathing in the Limmat, Aare and Rhine respectively all the time.

They are so often stateful and fall over when some scanner comes by, or if a light DNS DoS attack happens, compromising the entire access link, when the scanned systems or the DNS server weren’t even bothered by the amount of requests.

They introduce weird unexpected restrictions, like preferring to blackhole our customers traffic rather than accepting some asymmetric routing. And then we get blamed for their setup, which they don’t even know.

They ossify protocol development in general, requiring things like header encryption in QUIC to force them to ignore things that aren’t their business anyway.

They are apparently also expensive as hell, multiple customers have declined upgrades because they don’t have fast enough firewalls and not enough budget to buy faster ones.

Those are the ones that come to mind right now. There are also occasional bugs that make our or our customers lives difficult, but I can’t recall a clear one at the moment.

Firewalls in general.

In females it’s the same. Skene’s glands sit on the urethra.

If anyone really cares, that’s because Pope Francis was from the Jesuit Order. The first pope to be one. They swear poverty among other things, so the golden chair wouldn’t look appropriate.

Didn’t Krautchan die 5 years ago or so? To be replaced by Kohlchan?

Here in Switzerland, tax law is different per canton. So for our ~9 million people we have 26 tax laws! We pay taxes on three levels, communal, cantonal and federal taxes. And who collects which part depends on your canton. In mine the commune collects the communal and the cantonal part, and the canton collects the federal part. Yeah… it makes no sense to me either.

Though regarding the filing that part is not so bad;you only make one tax declaration from which the taxes on all three levels are calculated. And as far as I’m aware each canton offers a free software application for filing. The filings are a little complicated compared to some European neighbours from what I hear. For instance we aren’t source taxed directly out of our pay-checks, so we have to list our earnings and possessions manually and list various deductions.

Still, from what I gather we have it a little better than the US Americans

Well, yes, because you’re still changing direction and have to indicate this. Our street traffic laws in Switzerland do not make exceptions for turn lanes.

earth has been segragated into 10 foot x 10 foot squares

I think you’re inadvertently advertising a cylindrical model of the earth 😁

Since you mention states and the site mentions federal taxes and the IRS, I assume this is for the tax system of the USA, it’s funny that it isn’t stated anywhere though.

I’m using Libre Office at my job. Whenever I can get away with it I use the open document format as well.

And .de is also the third most used country code TLD. Only .cn and .tk are bigger. China is just so big and kind of has their own corner of the Internet, so that makes sense, and Tokelau is tiny but they offered free registrations to anyone for a long time.
