How to buy a German postage stamp online

The Chaos Communication Congress is all-remote again this year, and there's another [sticker exchange][] happening! In order to participate, you need to mail a stamped envelope to the Sticker Operation Center, who will put some stickers in it and mail it back to you.

There's only one tricky bit: the stamp needs of course to be a German postage stamp, and these can be hard to come by if you're not in Germany. Fortunately, you can buy a stamp online and print it out from anywhere in the world! The site is only in German, though, so here's what you need to do if you don't read German.

Procedure

Go to the [German Post Office's online postage page][internetmarke]. Interact with the cookies popup as you see fit.

#vomitlipo wordlist

For NaNoLiPo 2018, the November 5 challenge involves noting the "place of articulation" of the sounds of each word in your text. If this is not familiar, you may want a list of valid words.

This word list is based on the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.

Then, a small javascript program transforms the ARPABET pronunciations contained therein into IPA, considers the "place of articularlation" of each consonant, and decides if the word is compliant with the #vomlitlipo constraint.
