History

Between 1945 and 1990 Rühen served as West German inner German border crossing for inland navigation on the Mittellandkanal. The crossing was open for freight vessels navigating between the Soviet Zone of occupation in Germany (till 1949, thereafter the East German Democratic Republic), or West Berlin and the British zone of occupation (till 1949) and thereafter the West German Federal Republic of Germany. The traffic was subject to the Interzonal traffic regulations, that between West Germany and West Berlin followed the special regulations of the Transit Agreement (1972).

gollark: Still, a 3060 would at least let me run ~billion-parameter language models, which can be quite good.
gollark: I do want one for ML purposes, but there are limits to what you can do on *any* reasonable consumer GPU nowadays, and I'd have to replace my server (or at least the PSU?) to run anything over 75W.
gollark: How much you should pay is obviously very dependent on how much you value money and how much you value the GPU.
