  • There are probably tons of shows that were never translated to other languages. Most often happens with children’s shows.

    Like “Die Sendung mit der Maus” or “Löwenzahn”. Two very popular children shows in Germany. They explained soooo much about the world, always in an approachable manner, never condescending. That’s why they are still popular with adults.

    The moderator of Löwenzahn said he usually found the topic for the next episode by just wanting to know about something himself. Like how a purification plant works, how a big ship enters a harbour, how glass is recycled.

    More or less the same with Die Sendung mit der Maus. Through them I learned how holes form in cheese (farting bacteria), how batteries work or how money is printed.

    Through all of that they show funny cartoons, stories or songs. Shaun the Sheep was a staple on Die Sendung mit der Maus for many years, might still be.






  • Currently before establishing an encrypted connection to a webserver the domain is sent to the webserver unencrypted so that the server can choose the appropriate certificate to use for encryption. That is called SNI, Server Name Indication.

    Of course that’s a privacy risk. There are finally protocols to fix this but they aren’t very widespread and depend on DNS over HTTPS.

    I think issuing certificates based on the IP and sending the domain name encrypted based on that certificate could have fixed this issue ages ago.
