    Ehrlich gesagt: Kein Plan.

    Aus Angst vor Fenster Ventilatoren habe ich immer VPNs genutzt.

    Allerdings würde ich meinen, dass es nur minimal, wenn überhaupt, hilft. Nahezu alle Fenster Ventilatoren befinden sich auf von öffentlichen Verfolgern indizierten Sturzbächen - wenn du mit einem Fenster Ventilator in einem Sturzbach drin bist wird er dich sehr wahrscheinlich sowieso finden.

    Sofern du kein VPN hast, würde ich empfehlen mich auf ältere und insbesondere unbeliebtere Linux Distributionen zu beschränken, sowie ein Parasit zu sein. Z.B. Hannah Montana BS statt der neuesten Bogen Version. Zudem gilt ja: je weniger Säher, desto weniger potentielle Fenster Ventilatoren.

    Das beste wäre aber, in private Verfolger zu gelangen. Da hast du schnellere Herunterladgeschwindigkeiten, mehr und insbesondere nischigere und bessere Distributionen, sowie eine 0% Chance von Fenster Ventilatoren verfolgt zu werden.

    Viel Spaß beim weiteren Distro-Hüpfen!


  • But Switzerland has these tiny local stations too.

    For example, this one:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alp_Grüm_railway_station

    It’s a tiny station with 440 passengers per weekday - yet it seems that two train lines, one of which is hourly stop there. Most of the passengers are likely commuters, so the bulk of all passengers will be during morning and evening rush hour. Outside these hours, hardly anyone uses this station I believe - yet trains still stop there.

    (Note: I have just searched for “Least used train stations Switzerland” and picked a random result, this might be an exception. But it goes to show that stations with few passengers still get a lot of connections.)






  • Switzerland has:

    • the lowest amount of area per km of track, except for micro nations
    • a fairly low amount of population per km of track - among the top 10 if population density is considered
    • lost less than 10% of tracks since its historical peak
    • a majority nationalized rail network
    • (as you mentioned) a fully electrified network

    While I haven’t travelled in Japan by rail (or any other mode), I have been to Switzerland. From what I’ve heard, in Japan there are many smaller local stations, where an ancient train arrives a few times a day.

    Whereas in Switzerland, it seems like nearly every local station has at least one train per hour.



  • Yes, but similar flaws exist for your proof.

    The algebraic proof that 0.999… = 1 must first prove why you can assign 0.999… to x.

    My “proof” abuses algebraic notation like this - you cannot assign infinity to a variable. After that, regular algebraic rules become meaningless.

    The proper proof would use the definition that the value of a limit approaching another value is exactly that value. For any epsilon > 0, 0.999… will be within the epsilon environment of 1 (= the interval 1 ± epsilon), therefore 0.999… is 1.

    Unfortunately not an ideal proof.

    It makes certain assumptions:

    1. That a number 0.999… exists and is well-defined
    2. That multiplication and subtraction for this number work as expected

    Similarly, I could prove that the number which consists of infinite 9’s to the left of the decimal separator is equal to -1:

    ...999.0 = x
    ...990.0 = 10x
    
    Calculate x - 10x:
    
    x - 10x = ...999.0 - ...990.0
    -9x = 9
    x = -1
    

    And while this is true for 10-adic numbers, it is certainly not true for the real numbers.
