Deutsche Bahn AG: The Problem Child Celebrates Anniversary
Loss of reality by a manager: running in the red for years. Being punished by customers for a new pricing model. Despite customer exploitation through arbitrary train upgrades, not reaching break-even. Failing to achieve even the most basic success parameters of a transport company - punctuality, reliability. Despite this, drawing a positive conclusion and proclaiming success.

PanoTools plug-ins
Panorama Tools for macOS
Anyone editing panoramas under OS X needs this software. Finally, the integration of Panotools into classic OS X graphics programs (at least those that can use Photoshop plugins). Correct lens distortions, convert panoramas between different projection types, everything you need when you want a wide field of view.

Agreed. Why public broadcasters still think they're something special when they submit everything to ratings and viewership numbers anyway remains a real mystery to me. Nobody needs a trashy channel financed by fees.

Genetically modified corn soon in supermarket shelves
Who wants this? Why does this crap have to exist?
For the first time, consumers are getting the right to choose, and farmers are getting safe framework conditions - yes, thank you. Farmers actually wanted security against this crap, because genetically modified plants cause problems for organic farmers, for example, if they mix with their seeds. And the consumers - has anyone ever asked them whether they even wanted this idiotic choice?
I can also choose whether to nail a meatball to my knee.

Localfeeds: Münster(50)
I really like this: GeoURL+RSS results in Localfeeds. And with that, an RSS feed for Münster and the surrounding area.
However, umlauts and such are pretty chaotic and the result isn't really usable with PyDS. I should try it with NetNewswire to see if it handles it better.
Aftermath of the Verisign Certificate Expiration
That a manufacturer of IT security products recommends not checking whether a certificate is still valid would probably set off alarm bells for some customers. - if I considered Symantec to be a manufacturer of security products, then that would set off my alarm bells, that's correct.

News: New Year''s Eve Again for Unix Users
Very funny at the timing: There is a place in the PowerDNS daemon that stumbles over exactly this. At one point the C expression 1< <31-1 is calculated instead of (1< <31) -1. Result: since Saturday noon all PowerDNS installations have been running at maximum load, because the wait time between database queries is no longer being maintained and the database server is being bombarded with a massive number of database queries.
The problematic expression is in pdns/communicator.hh in the earliest method, which finds the domain that most urgently needs to be forwarded to the slaves, or most urgently requires an update from the master, depending on whether the server functions as master or slave or both. Details can be found in the archive of the pdns-dev mailing list. Here is the original article.

- A German description
To translate the blog post body from German to English, I need the actual Markdown body content of the blog post. Could you please provide the Markdown content that needs to be translated?
For example, the body text that starts with something like "# Heading" or "Wie man eine Kodak DCS Batterie..." etc.
The E3 Project
Awesome: a project that writes an emulator for the TI Explorer II. So an emulator for a Lisp machine. No idea how good it already is, but maybe I'll give it a try when I have some time. Today's computers should have enough performance to bring this emulation to the same level as the original machine.

We are forced to support genetic engineering
That's exactly the problem: we don't have real freedom of choice. Genetically modified organisms are not easy to detect - and their spread is not easy to control. Life finds a way, and if it goes across the neighbor's field or through the stomach of the pig that ends up as a steak on the plate. And all of this just to boost the profits of individual biotech companies. There's no real economic reason for this nonsense in Europe, there are no extreme environmental conditions that make growing normal plants impossible. On the contrary, there are overproductions. Genetically engineered plants designed to be resistant don't make sense in Europe. But the biotech corporations have to rip off consumers once again.

FDP politician for abolition of public holidays
Great. Abolishing public holidays. Of course, ones that are employee-friendly and either always fall on working days or - like May 1st - are a sore point for employers anyway. Somehow, all the great concepts these days only consist of taking away and scrapping. Maybe we should just scrap the politicians. Would save costs and be good for public health. That would be a real reform.

Lego builds on bricks again
I see this with mixed feelings: on the one hand, it's great when Lego really focuses again on the classic bricks. After all, that's the part that makes Lego so brilliant. But if Mindstorms has to go away because of it, I'd find that a shame. Mindstorms is simply brilliant. Ok, the other computer kits are rather mediocre, but the original RCX kit is really great.
Fortunately, I already have two RCXs and enough small parts; I can already tinker quite a bit with them.

Practice Fee: In for a Penny, In for a Pound
Instead of blaming each other, all the politicians involved could simply resign collectively. That would be a measure. But of course, the Union is never guilty of the mess it causes, it's always the others. We all just imagined the blockades in the Bundesrat and the mediation committee. Just like the fact that Rüttgers was actively involved. When I imagine that we could get this windbag and shirker as Minister-President, if Steinbrück ruins NRW even further and people don't want to see the SPD anymore, I feel sick. The talk of the devil and Beelzebub takes on completely new dimensions ...

Schleswig-Holstein's Interior Minister Wants Police Access to Internet Customer Data
Another superfluous politician. Not only does he want to forcibly expand data retention at providers, but he's also demanding that cryptography must have access points for police decryption. The Clipper Chip and similar harebrained ideas come to mind.

Traffic costs for larger hosting projects
Because I just saw Dirk's costs, here's a tip for anyone wanting to set up blog services: take a close look at the different pricing plans from various providers! There are some that are significantly cheaper. I don't advertise often, but I want to give a shout-out to Hetzner, they provide me with an entry-level server for 40 euros per month with 100 GB traffic included. And the next larger plan comes in at 70 euros with 150 GB. With something like that, you can already do a lot more cool stuff without running out of money right away. Disclaimer: I don't have much more to do with them than having simon (the server that this all runs on) hosted with them.
