but also in case of a nuclear weapons use, our life expectancy might have been shorter than that of soldiers (admittedly depending on soldier role), which had better protective gear and training to use such gear than us.

In the case of a war 'Verteidungsfall' not only all the reservists would have been called up, but me too. To serve at home, civilian protection emergency service and so on.

There is also a strange misconception about conscious objectors in the German system.
I was a 'conscie' and worked as a paramedic, because I didn't want to shoot at my cousins which had to serve in the GDR military at the same and their objections would have meant at least 5 years in prison./1

For my private use I am using a webhoster who provides Nextcloud instances, in my case self managed, but they also offer to manage it for you.
If one uses it for business purposes say a legal practice for instance and you do have IT staff one can manage NXTC in house, otherwise go with Nextcloud.

Nextcloud should be able to cover it. Depending on private or business use as well as IT know how, one can self host it, get an EU hosting provider to host it, self managed or managed by the hosting provider and lastly Nextcloud themselves offering a managed instance.

Yes, depending on you use case I might be able to give you some pointers.

Is the short answer. Revolving doors be it at ministerial level or lower down in the pecking order in the NHS. And the MP is right, the rip off by MSFT and others is standard play. NHS mail anyone?

Since when is a stochastic parrot capable to explain anything?
LLMs (Large Language Models) [ChatGPT et al] are useless and dangerous.
Specific models trained with specific data to diagnose something specific like breast cancer in X-Rays work.
These are NOT LLMs.

It might, but we left even with dual citizenship in 2019. Why? Because the Home Secretary can revoke the UK citizenship on file because of 'terrorism'. One example of 'terrorism' in the context of revoking a visa was an honest error by the accountant in the annual tax return of a visa holder.

I would highly recommend Great Yarmouth.
At least the kippers have a proud tradition of voting for fascists*.
Neighbouring Gorleston-on-Sea has a quite a lot of bungalows available.
* Electing a BNP party member into the European Parliament, etc.

We acquired British citizenship as an insurance against Brexit, but we left in 2019. Because if you are a 'terrorist', for example your accountant makes an honest mistake in your tax return, you can loose your citizenship 'on file' without even knowing about it. ILR? Get the heck out now.
