Perhaps it might be of marginal interest to others too, but I don't care that much.

@pony But that's a silly comparison, isn't it? VPS vs. metal, inflation, etc. Anyhow, ca €500/yr for a state of the art server you do not even need to switch on, is quite a good bargain. And if it's too bad, you can still get the tiny VPS for breadcrumbs money.
@staalmannen Nice intro. A large portion of it I could have written myself :-). Welcome.
@pony Looking at machines I care about, it was just a couple of bucks across the board. When I carefully look at it, it seems it was almost precisely 10% price hike. Given their pricing, I think it's still a bargain. Do you see some drastic changes in your monthly bills?

@rglueckler welcome @fediscience.org
@shahaan@eldritch.cafe Indeed I greatly miss my red Nokia E63 (I only put it to rest in 2017!).
There is no concept of "Warmmiete" in NLD as far as I know. When you rent an apartment, you simply arrange your own water/gas/electricity/Internet connections yourself. And when you leave the rented place, you simply stop the contracts (or notify them of a move elsewhere) and the next renter chooses their own providers again. In turn, the energy provider has always a direct relationship to the person/family/entity who lives in the dwelling. Of course there may be some exceptions, but I never heard of them. This is how it works "normally".
@worldsendless not sure about your model there (SHR240?). Stuff like this puts you at $4.95.
@worldsendless Take your headphones model number, go to aliexpress, look up spare parts for that model and most likely you'll find a replacement not only for the headband, but those old cushions too. There are spare parts for surprisingly old models of headphones there. Good luck.

@pony 😃 Funny. BTW, what became of "ruska zmrzlina"?

Transgression of personal boundaries vs. upholding them?
Of course I have no clue about your situation, but what worked well for me in the past are affirming, yet deflecting/diffusing responses: I see what you mean/I accept that that's what you want/etc. But the best turned out to be "I see" and "Uhhhmmm". Does not solve the problem, but could make it lesser. Still the proposed (partial) distancing is a thing to consider regardless of the rel-link type.

@mathias let's see... although it will take me some time to get to.
@mathias is it good? I effectively stopped watching TV a couple of months ago, but I'd always give in into a recommendation from you - the last one was good :-)
