That page lists attacks in general, and not just at schools but also universities.
Out of the 25 attacks listed for Germany (so since 1990), only 11 are shootings, and 14 have no deaths at all. So, you're right, Germany does know what school schootings are.
But compare this to a total of 67 (damn that number!) in the same timeframe in the UK ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_attacks_in_the_United_Kingdom ), despite the UK containg about 20 million less people than Germany.
Unfortunately, Wikipedia doesn't have a comparable list for France.
But both of those numbers just cannot compare with the US, where just the school shootings that Wikipedia lists (not all attacks, just shootings) add up to 882 over the same time frame. And its not due to higer population, the US only has about 4 times as many people as Germany.
Sorry, I realise you're kinda just trying to say, school attacks do happen in Germay too, and you're right. But you sent me down a rabbit hole. And the number of school shootings in Germany is so low that as a parent you can reasonably assume it won't happen (and they are rarely big enough to land in the news), whereas in the US it seems to be something that everyone thinks about, that schols plan for, and that has a not inconsiderable chance of happening.
Seriously, like the other comment says, if you were unconscious for hours, you are more than likely to have a concussion.
If you havent already, go see a doctor asap.
And if you don't want to tell your supervisor, just be vague and say something like "I had an accident" or "I had to go to the doctor". I don't know what its like where you live, but in Germany that would be approximately the expected level of detail (combined with a doctor's note if you're sick/absent for longer).
The only alternative would be internet over 4G, which is supposed to be faster, but the mobile connection at home is so unreliable, it wouldn't be worth the added cost.
I live a couple of houses down a driveway, so laying a new cable is too expensive to justify for just a few houses. This means I get to live with a cable that's half a century old, and me and my neighbours (and others) are excluded from the recent local fiber internet initiative. Some neighbours just use Starlink, but my hatred of Elon and the sheer stupidity of using satelite internet in central Europe are stopping me.
And, while I do live in a small village, I also have friends in Düsseldorf and in Berlin with even worse internet connections.
I'd love to just switch to a faster plan. But mobile just doesn't work here, and I'm not giving money to Elon, so ... there is no faster plan.
No, you underoverestimate the internet speeds in some parts of Germany. I get maybe 11 Mbit/s on a good day, about 5-6 Mbit/s average, and less if anyone else in the house is using it. And yes, that's Mbit not MByte.
According to Wikipedia, the slowest Blu-Ray speed is 36 Mbit/s, so about six times my average download speed. And Blu-Rays can go up to 576 Mbit/s.
By brick, do you mean a powerbank? I used to have one in the old bag for a while, but it doesn't really fit (it fits in the bag, but it's a bit too thick, so it prevents you from putting any other slightly thicker things in without putting serious strain on the seams), and in my experience, I didn't end up actually needing it most of the time. I'm kinda trying a compromise with the charging cable, in the hopes that if I do have to charge my phone, I can find someone with a charger/powerbank/laptop/etc. (or use my own laptop) and don't need to figure out if they have the right cable.
Do you have any suggestions for a small/flat multitool? (my guess is, pretty much everyone in this community has their own suggestion for a multitool :) )
Face mask is a good idea. I don't have any reusable ones, but I do have some single-use masks left over from COVID-times.
I honestly have no knowledge of sewing, so I think I'd have to learn that before a needle is useful, but I might see if I can find some safety pins.
I'm not sure about a lighter... I don't smoke, so it would only end up being used in the very rare case of having to light a fire, I think it might be too thick to fit properly, and I'm a bit uncertain about carrying something full of flammable fluid with me all the time.
the school has recently put up its AI imagery on a tv screen up high
Get a universal remote, or if you want to be fancy about it (and can afford it) a Flipper Zero. Then you might be able to switch the screens off, or mess with their settings (if they're TVs and not just displays).
Technetium really should be purple. The isotope that you'd be most likely to get some of (used for nuclear medicine) has a half-life of about 6 hours, and is appropriately radioactive.
Holy shit, this is what it looked like!? I saw the wikipedia article posted recently, and was wondering if there where any pictures.
The article only specifies "makeshift composite armor plating", which made me think it was just some steel plates.
But no wonder over 200 rounds of ammunition and three explosions had no effect. No wonder they briefly considered using an airstrike or an anti-tank missile to stop it.
It also looks to me like he was always planning to die inside, I don't see any way to get the shell off again.
Those vibrating tools are usually called electronic pick guns, and there are completely mechanical versions called snap guns.
The cylindrical locks/keys are tubular locks, and while I've never seen snap guns/electric picks for those, they are very quickly (almost as fast as using the key) and very easily (nearly no picking experience needed) picked using a self-impressioning tool. Most of the time, tubular locks are significantly less secure than regular pin-tumbler locks.
I have a number of things running in the background after booting, so here's some numbers for you:
Steam: 1.1GiB
Firefox: 1 GiB
Discord: 500-600 MiB
SchildiChat (Matrix Client): 300 MiB
KeePassXC: 180 MiB
KDE's System Monitor (which I am using to get these values): 140 MiB
In addition to that, there's always a number of systems services, most of which use a negligible amount of memory, but here's some I'm just picking out because I recognize what they do:
plasmashell (KDE Plasma): 380 MiB
kwin_wayland (also KDE Plasma): 70 MiB
Syncthing: 80 MiB
kdeconnectd: 30 MiB
pipewire: 7.5 MiB (though there are some other processes associated with pipewire in addition to the main one)
systemd-logind: 1.8 MiB
systemd: 3.7 MiB
cupsd: 2 MiB
XWayland: 45 MiB
Xorg: 40 MiB
Of course, these are just a snapshot of the systems state, and can only really give you a very rough idea of how much memory something might use at one point in time.
If you want to make your board game more complicated (probably not, but I like the idea, so I'm just throwing it in here), you could use it as an opportunity to teach virtual memory, segmentation, paging and internal vs external fragmentation. Maybe players get certain processes with memory requirements and have to fit them into their own main memory, and whoever can fit the most processes wins, or whoever cannot allocate memory for a new process looses. (I'm just writing down what's coming out of my head, I don't want to hijack your game idea, sorry.)
Yes, TinyCore-Core comes without a GUI (like the commenter above said, headless). When they say 28 MB RAM, that might even be overestimating it a bit. All of TinyCore-Core fits into just 17 MB. Of course that goes up if you need to install things, and I don't know if it comes with an ssh-Server out-of-the-box. So for a proper server setup, 28 MB sounds pretty reasonable.
It blows my mind, that there is an entire Linux Distro, that fits into a modern processor's cache. Who needs RAM anyways? (unfortunately, because of how cache works, we can't actually use it without RAM)
See my other comment (sorry, Voyager seems to generate weird share links).
While violence at schools does exist in Europe, the numbers just don't compare to the US.
And don't forget! The US has stabbings too, its just that you have so many shootings that a stabbing won't make the news.
Also, what are "grooming gangs"?

Edit: spelling
The Styx as in ... the mythical river that runs through the underworld? Yeah, I can see that being a low crime area...
(Sorry, european here, if you meant someplace in the US, I've never heard of it)

I have a bunch of webcomics:
Well, in English, UTC is an acronym for Coordinated Universal Time, and in French its Temps Universel Coordonné.
Now you may have noticed that neither of those actually makes UTC. This comes from a previous naming pattern for universal time (UT1, UT2, ...) (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time ).
Well, if its unbreakable, then its either snake oil, or some variation on the one-time-pad (really depends on your definition of unbreakable).
But having read the article, this is definetly snake oil.
Holy shit, this is what it looked like!? I saw the wikipedia article posted recently, and was wondering if there where any pictures.

If you are in this situation, then you definetly should get some more power, or at least a UPS to make sure you don't trip a breaker.
Yeah, running it a bit longer (and much faster), it took a bit more than 150 years for the atmosphere to liquify.
