I'm looking for someone who may have had a similar problem and can tell me how they resolved it. Specifically, I ordered a WD Red 500GB SSD for 70 euros from amazon.de on January 5, 2026. The first delivery date was between February and March 9, but the product wasn't delivered. By then, the price had already jumped to 150 euros. I called customer service and spoke to their chat support, who told me the new delivery date is April 22 — but that doesn't show in the app. The app only shows 'order received,' and I'm afraid they'll miss this second deadline as well. Can I do anything without canceling the order, given that the price is now 250 euros?

That wasn't the article. It was in some lesser-known magazine (maybe even a blog) and it wasn't about ISIS or the terrorists we know today. It was written specifically about the guy who created the program and his connection to drug cartels, if I remember correctly.

    To explain, I read about this many years ago. It's about a journalist who tried to find out what was happening with TrueCrypt, and it turned out it was apparently connected to serious criminals who were killing people, etc. The story is actually really interesting, and I'd love to find the original piece. I have nothing against TrueCrypt, and in fact, I used it back then and still use it now (VeraCrypt).

    Does anyone here run a small family XMPP (Prosody) server with iPhone clients? How did you set up APNs and push notifications — did you self‑host a push proxy (fpush/momak/etc.) or use an external service? Any tips or config snippets appreciated.

    Are you sure that the investment will be recouped so quickly? I'm not a local here and I'm not familiar with all the rules, but I've been told that I can't put anything on the balcony that will change the appearance of the building until I get permission from the Rathaus.

    Hello,

    I have a Nextcloud server installed at home that works well on my LAN network, but when I try to make the server accessible via a DynDNS service, I cannot connect to it. The request doesn't even reach my server. My question is whether the router immediately blocks the request, because when I set the router to be accessible (it has separately that option), I can connect without any issues over dyndns url. Could my ISP (O2) be blocking it? I can confirm that it's not a firewall issue, and it's also not because I'm connected to the same WiFi as the server. It's not a port forwarding issue either, as I've gone through all possible options. My router is a Fritzbox 6660, and there are no logs indicating that a request has even come through.

    My second question is whether this is even allowed in Germany? Also, I've noticed that my ISP rarely changes my IP address; in fact, I haven't seen it change at all in the past few months, which is strange because in my home country, it changed every 24 hours.

    Edit: First, thank you all for your help. I will try your suggestions over the course of this week or month (due to time-related issues :) and will report back with the results. Since I am clearly a noob when it comes to self-hosting and I plan to have only a Nextcloud server for personal use, what is the best way to secure the system in these situations and allow only certain devices to access it over the external network? (if I ever manage to access it at all)

    There is a testing clinic near me that deal with treating depression using psychedelic substances. I'm wondering if any of you have tried something similar, referring to psychedelic substances, and if so, how did it go? In the past, I occasionally experimented with cannabis, but over time, it didn't sit well with me anymore. Does anyone have such experiences?
