What's German about it? It isn't even a German Shepherd.

These models (1A5) were already old, and only used by heavy reconnaissance units when I was in the German army 32 years ago. The main tank brigades already had Leopard 2 back then. The main point of the Leopard 2 for Ukraine is that it has a longer range gun than the T-72 and whatever else Russia has, so that it can attack from a larger distance with relative safety. As far as I understand this is not the case for the Leopard 1. Probably better than nothing, though, and hopefully they'll still have better targeting electronics and night vision than their counterparts. Also, the Leopard 2 has more or less a standard NATO smoothbore gun, made by Rheinmetall, the same as the Abrams, and ammunition should be plentiful. That may be not be the case for the Leopard 1, which has a very different gun.

I use the names of chemical elements, but with two twists: I assign them in the order in which they appear in the song "The Elements" by Tom Lehrer, and I use the German names. So I have (or had), among others, Wasserstoff, Sauerstoff, Stickstoff, etc ...

Same here. It just says "nginx has been successfully installed" or something like that. It serves the appropriate directories or redirects to the respective virtual machines for other (sub) domains.

What are the advantages of raid10 over zfs raidz2? It requires more disk space per usable space as soon as you have more than 4 disks, it doesn't have zfs's automatic checksum-based error correction, and is less resilient, in general, against multiple disk failures. In the worst case, two lost disks can mean the loss of the whole pack, whereas raidz2 can tolerate the loss of any 2 disks. Plus, with raid you still need an additional volume manager and filesystem.

ZFS raidz1 or raidz2 on NetBSD for mass storage on rotating disks, journaled FFS on RAID1 on SSD for system disks, as NetBSD cannot really boot from zfs (yet).

ZFS because it has superior safeguards against corruption, and flexible partitioning; FFS because it is what works.

The manual says it works on "any phone or tablet", running Android 7 or higher. Mine is a OnePlus 6T running LineageOS 20 (Android 13). On my much slower and less well-equipped Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE (3 GB RAM) it installs just fine. Would it really object to being installed just because the phone has an unlocked bootloader? It isn't rooted, and even banking apps work fine.

Strange. Maybe I'll file a bug report. It looks like something I might spend $10 on if it works fine.

The Playstore says Infinite Painter won't work on my device. What are the requirements? I have 6GB RAM and Android 13. What more could it want? Or is it generally only for tablets?

Yes. I use a G7 N36L as an offsite-backup server in my second apartment. Works great with NetBSD and zfs, using rsnapshot to make remote backups every night.

Since it is only active for an hour and a half each night, it is my only server to put the disks into powersave mode the rest of the time. Computing eprformance is so low that I don't even run a folding@home client. It usually cannot finish any work package before the deadline.

Sounds dystopian, but I can't find fault with your reasoning. Thanks for elaborating.

--info=progress2 for long transfers involving a large number of files. Gives continuously updated statistics on the whole transfer.

Rooting your phone and unlocking the bootloader are separate (and mostly independent) things. E.g., by default, LineageOS is not rooted, but it requires an unlocked bootloader to install. Now, rooting without an unlocked bootloader is harder.
