Why OVH and not for instance Hetzner?

I have hsts issues with your site

Gerard Reve - De avonden (Вечерa)

Arnon Grunberg comes to mind as a more contemporary writer, but couldn`t find a Russian translation.

And Peter the great is just an amazing interesting chracter, must be said. I still intend to collect a beardtax coin one day.

Directness is definitly part of both national characters indeed.

I asked the toasters, they said this about it:

Yes, Russian literature tends to translate well into Dutch, and there are a few reasons for that:

1. Linguistic Similarities in Syntax and Tone – While Dutch and Russian are from different language families, both can handle long, complex sentences without losing clarity. Dutch, like Russian, allows for a mix of formal and informal tones within a single text, which helps maintain the nuance of Russian literature.

2. Cultural Compatibility – Dutch readers appreciate introspective, philosophical, and existential themes, which are common in Russian literature. Authors like Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, and Chekhov resonate well with Dutch audiences because of their deep psychological exploration and social critique.

3. Strong Translation Tradition – The Netherlands has a long history of translating world literature with high quality. Dutch translators often work directly from Russian rather than relying on intermediary languages like English or French, preserving the original style and meaning.

4. Directness and Emotional Depth – Russian literature is known for its raw emotional depth and directness, qualities that align well with Dutch communication norms. This makes Russian novels feel more natural in Dutch than in some other languages that might soften or rephrase certain expressions.

Many Dutch readers have a strong appreciation for Russian classics, and some Dutch authors have even been influenced by them.

For cheap storage at hetzner you could add a storagebox (not fast, but fine), or now even objecstorage.

I heard sometime the best language to read Russian literature in (besides Russian) is Dutch, you know anything about this?

You are right, and thanks. Typing on mobile with alternative keyboard without spelling correction is a challenge. I was fortunate enough to be on a part Dutch/English primary school. That helped a lot with getting a lot of assumptions corrected. For instance as a kid I assumed the English word for "monkey" is "ape", because the Dutch word is "aap".

I also wasnt teached about this in school when I was a kid 3 decades afo. My history knowledge came selftaught from nul-tot-nu comics, where colonialism, slavery and holocaust definitly where touched upon. These so called `zwarte bladzijden` (black pages, doesnt translate nicely) are more common in education nowadays after lively debates the last decade(s).

Must be said the knowledge/interest of historical knowledge among my fellow Dutchies isn`t all that great.

Oh yeah this an awesome tool, I used it at a company I worked for prior which had its own mailserver. Used it to migrate customers out of it.

432 error: kaaskop not allowed

Ocean nodules right? We've know these exist, right? Environmental reasons against extracting these are plenty. Or are we gonna start the scraping of/to the bottom begin?

Yeah almost everybody copied our airport signage system. Why not the road system... NL is very flat though

How far is it from the intersection to the nearest place you can get a Bosche Bol? :)
