PRAGUE
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic and the historical capital of Bohemia. On the Vltava river, Prague is home to about 1.3 million people.The city has a temperate oceanic climate, with relatively warm summers and chilly winters.
- Prague is a political, cultural, and economic hub of central Europe, with a rich history and Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectures. It was the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia and residence of several Holy Roman Emperors, most notably Charles IV (r. 1346–1378) and Rudolf II (r. 1575–1611).
It was an important city to the Habsburg monarchy and Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city played major roles in the Bohemian and the Protestant Reformations, the Thirty Years' War and in 20th-century history as the capital of Czechoslovakia between the World Wars and the post-war Communist era.

Tor: Anonymisierungsdienst bringt Webtunnel gegen Zensur
Das anonymisierende Tor hat will mit Webtunneln Zensurmaßnahmen etwas entgegensetzen.
Die Entwickler des #Anonymisierungsdienstes #Tor (The Onion Router) haben eine neue Art von #Tor #Bridges eingeführt, sogenannte #Webtunnel. Damit sollen Nutzer sich auch von starken #Zensurmaßnahmen betroffenen Netzwerken aus ins Tor-Netzwerk und von da aus in alle Welt verbinden können.
Webtunnel sollen Zensurmaßnahmen umgehen, indem sie verschlüsselten #Web-Traffic (HTTPS) imitieren. In der Webtunnel-Ankündigung schreiben die Tor-Entwickler, dass die Nutzdatenverbindung dabei in Websocket-artige HTTPS-Verbindungen verpackt werden. Für Außenstehende sehe das genau aus wie eine HTTPS- respektive Websocket-Verbindung. Wer den #Traffic untersucht, sieht dadurch vermeintlich User ganz normal im #Web surfen.

WAITING FOR AN ASTEROID
She: I’m not going to leave you just yet ~ My darling, My sweetheart.
I was thinking, an asteroid is due to hit Earth. We could both die.
There would be no need for me to leave you right now.
If we survive, I’ll leave you - so you can have a happy life and future.
He: So. We have ‘right now’ with each other, before the asteroid hits and we’re killed.
She: Yes. If the asteroid doesn’t kill us, don’t say, “We can be friends.”
*I’ll punch you in the mouth, knock you down and shove you in the river.

Excuse me. I’m looking for a stone bridge that no longer exists in Paderborn, Germany.
It was last seen on a picture postcard in 1918.

The Monk Bridge
What does "I would turn into a bridge for 500 years and endure the wind and rain mean?
- Before one of the Buddha's disciples became a monk he met a beautiful girl and fell in love with her. Buddha asked him: "How much do you love her?" And he answered he would turn into a stone bridge and endure 500 years of wind, 500 years of sunlight and 500 years of rain. He only asked that the girl would walk over the bridge.
Flashback Nov 8, 2010. Somehow starting the age of smartphone photos, taken with the infamous Palm Pre. Late at night. Returning home from a bar with close friends. Rather poor quality in a picture that somehow feels important. Originally on Facebook which also felt important back then...
