You kids are disgusting with your "ready to go" software.
A true IT professional would use a self written virtual assembler layer between Hannah Montana and Proxmox to improve security!
I make the specification of non-linux because otherwise this would just become a thread full of obscure distros that do the same thing as a million other distros....
I know multiple women who mainly got themselves a PC to play Sims back in the day and who are now in senior IT roles because once they got the PC they kind of "sticked with it".
That is something we indeed should thank The Sims for.
The man, identified only as Thomas H, had been a captain in the army's procurement office when he contacted Russian embassy in Berlin and passed on secret military information....
Just to everyone saying it's a lenient sentence:
The guys fucked anyway.
He lost all his retirement fund and very likely a lot of personal money (/everything) as the police can charge him for some of their costs and lawyers and shit are expensive.
He will have to pay for his own private health insurance when back out and is not eligible for public insurance anymore.
And he is ineligible for a lot of jobs as he won't pass the most basic background checks, he won't even be allowed to drive a school bus until he is at an age that he needs to retire anyway. Even amazon will not hire him.
Basically he fucked his whole life over. For what? For things the Russian intelligence services very likely already knew.
(And no, tbh, I feel no pitty for him. I am all for resocialisation, but this way intentionally and beyond stupid)
Das ist schon richtig so - sonst hast du schnell bei aktuellen Ereignissen (siehe: Anschläge/Katastrophen) ein riesen Problem an dem potentiell Menschen sterben können (siehe die Reddit-Boston-Bomber-Geschichte, aber auch div. Fälle bei X, von COVID will ich gar nicht reden...)
When I was about 8/9 years old I was told by a friend of mine I couldn't play with them any more. Their mother didn't approve of it for some reason....
Paramedic and former ambulance calltaker: Children, especially that age, were by far my preferred callers. They usually are easy to calm down, they follow commands, they answer questions directly. (e.g. "Does the patient currently have trouble breathing?" - an adult answers "Well,he always had this slight wheezing since he caught the Vietnamese Bubblebuttvirus back in 1972, but it got better in 1992, and then he had...' - a kid simply replies: "he is coughing a lot and breathing like he ran a lot".).
But back to topic:
Same age as you were, probably 10. I was a huge fan of the local fire department back then.
One day the adult son of my next door neighbour jumped off their roof,easily 8 to 10m. (Mix of suicide and drugs)
I called the ambulance service, specifically asked them if they would send a helicopter (they frequently do around here), rode my bike to their usual landing spot and led the crew to the patient.
..While three adults forgot to call the ambulance or called the police (different number here) or the local hospital (not helpful,they do not operate the ambulances here.
Maybe,just maybe my career as a paramedic was predestined on this faithful day.
(Guy made it,btw. But had more success a few years later)
First aid courses at school do have an effect, I cannot recommend them enough,I have countless sucess stories I came in contact with over the years, including a group of three 12 year olds that resuscitated their teacher.
Protipp:
Es gibt übrigens auch Dienstleister die Briefe direkt drucken, eintüten und versenden,gibt es mittlerweile sogar für Einschreiben Einwurf.
Mein persönlicher Favorit ist LetterXpress,soll aber keine Werbung sein,gibt viele andere die das genauso können.(Wer nicht aus DE kommt/viel woanders hin versendet für den is Superpost vermutlich ganz interessant,die versenden auch direkt woanders hin.)
Der Vorteil der besseren Dienste ist, dass du sie direkt als Druckertreiber einbinden kannst,also aus jeglicher Software direkt drucken kannst.
The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?
Now, listen,here is the important part:
You do not play all four songs in a row,oh no.
You play the first song in a loop for days, every time you go to the loo. Maybe even place a loudspeaker with a motion sensor there.
Then you stop. And once they feel secure again, when they pull out their stupid phones again, then you strike again. With the same song!
Then,after a while you stop again. Wait for a while. Of course, they have learned and then expect the previous song again. But nooo! Another one,not one bit better than the first one.
In der Pflege werden mittlerweile hohe Beträge für die Vermittlung von Bewerbern geboten - 5.000€ sind tlw. auch außerhalb der Leiharbeit, nur unter Kollegen.

I've seen the aftermath of various larger ones,but that is kind of my job,so it doesn't count.
And I got married on the day on the day my wife's hometown was hit by the Central European summer floods. We didn't notice much, though,thanks to fabulous staff at the venue.
I experienced a few local ones, though - an avalanche, a thunderstorm in the alps that had torrential gusts of 180km/h and killed a few people (and we were in a very exposed spot-that was fucking scary) - one person died a mere 800m away from us (but we didn't know and would not have any means to get there in time anyway, as it was 600m vertical rock between us and he died on the spot).
I came across this blog today while searching and I'm finding it very detailed, human, and instructive. For a beginner like me, this kind of resource is invaluable. What does a server failure feel like at a personal level? How do you make decisions about cost or utilizing existing hardware? These kind of thoughtful reflections...
Tatsächlich muss man sagen,dass auf der Höri oft Tempo 30 indiziert wäre..Und wohl zu mindestens laut einem befreundeten kommunalen Verkehrsplaner aus Singen tlw. auch möglich - aber die Lokalpolitiker haben mit den freiwilligen Schildern halt den enormen Vorteil,dass sie so auf der einen Seite nicht den Zorn derer die 50 fahren wollen (ist ne Goldküste da hinten) auf sich ziehen, andererseits aber auch bei den 30 Befürwortern "wir haben ja die freiwilligen Schildern und ich würde ja,aber Konstanz/Stuttgart/Berlin..." rufen können.
Gespräch mit einer Vorgesetzten, die nicht meine aktuelle ist. Mitten im Gespräch wurde erwähnt, dass ich vielleicht eine Versetzung auf einer anderen Station im selben Krankenhaussystem beantrage. Diese Vorgesetzte sagte, man soll das nicht häufig machen, weil sonst wird man als unzuverlässig betrachtet....
Ich, währenddessen früher als Consultant in den Kliniken:
Liebe Führungskräfte, schafft ein vernünftiges, freiwilliges, Rotationsprogramm für eure PFKs,dass erhöht -insert jede Menge Evidenz here- die Mitarbeiterzufriedenheit.
That's why one uses an industry standard that is brand-independent,operates offline by design and does not require a central component besides a power supply.
Sounds like utopia?
This standard has been available since 1990 in its archaic form, since 2002 in its current form.
It is downwards compatible and over 400 companies worldwide are part of the standard.
HomeAssistant, ioBroker, openHAB,etc. all support it directly and there are multiple crossover gateways with other standards like DMX, ModBus, Dali,etc. exist.
And no, it's components are not more expensive once you look at the TCO.
For fucks sake, people, use KNX.
(PS: There are even a few open-source/DIY components available)
Get a few components (e.g. Actors, a sensor), a gateway (USB is enough for the start,they often go cheap if you buy used,got mine for 10 bucks) ,a power supply (Meanwell is a good idea) and the free version of the ETS programming tool.
(The ETS is the only downside of the system - it's expensive especially for larger installs)
Haha, no. But I know someone who was part of the OpenTherm development.
To quote him:
OpenTherm exists because Plumbers don't trust Sparkys and Sparkys don't trust plumbers.
OpenTherm is easy to install but "stupid" as hell and not adaptable to modern needs mostly, especially if you consider modern heating concepts like passively heated houses, heat pumps,etc.
That's different from KNX (or Modbus in that regard) - They are much broader in their appeal. Singule use/walled garden systems are always a bad idea,imho.
Neff has a (magnetic/removable*) knob as well.
(* Which is a great idea in theory. Unless you have kids. First it's great because they can't start the cooktop on their own. But then you are constantly looking for the knob. A friend nearly got insane...His daughter "accidentally" took the whole fucking thing on a schooltrip to France....HOW? That's why I have the Siemens one with touch.... It's okayish touchwise and it works...)
The thing is: The standard itself is rather well designed and didn't need too much updates (they just extended the possible packet contents in terms of possible parameters - which technically isn't that necessary as you can fall back to ASCI).
The last major updates were more towards extending functions (KNX over RF), connecting locations via IP tunnel, and securing the packets themselves (which is not really necessary for single household installations but VERY much for multi tennant installations).
The major strength of KNX is the bus packet system itself - as the packets are standardized there are only a few attack avenues. An attacker could flood the bus with packets, try to update with fraudulent code (if none did put a password on it) or try to put fraudulent content in a module that accepts ASCI packets.
The problem is the access - the attacker would need physical access or the IP gateway (if existing)would need to be unsecured towards the internet...
In the end it is a fairly resilient piece of software.
No,it isn't.
But no open and local solution will be - but you pay for that in terms of long term usability, resilience and data.
It's a choice a mature customer needs to make. Be cloud and manufacturer reliant,invest the time to do it properly or pay someone to do it.
And KNX.org works for me(even tried it with a VPN to be sure) - and do you really think that a standard that is supported by the largest companies in the field(Siemens, ABB, Bosch, Schneider, etc.) and has multi-billion of installations in professional buildings alone per year is not for the long term?
The good thing is: You can easily replace OpenTherm with KNX.
Afaik there are Gateways that mimic Opentherm towards the heater so you can use KNC for the actual control.
The system does exactly that - But that is done automatically without intervention.
The system recognises by checking on our devices and the presence detectors if we are at home.
If we aren't it reduces the temperature.*
Then it looks into our calendars when we can be expected to be back and increases the temperature accordingly (additionally once we enter a certain Geofence).
*:The overall heating effort is also based on the current and expected weather and sun-influx,as I have some rooms that basically heat themselves when the sun is out.
The system is using that effort to adjust shades (e.g. it would allow a lower living room temperature in the morning after we left when it knows that there will likely be a sunny afternoon heating the room without the need to add external heat)
This is what I mean with smart: A smart system is only smart if the user doesn't have to fiddle around with it. Everything else is a remote.
(My next goal is to add personalised heating. I want the system to recognise who is/comes home and adjust the temperature accordingly as my wife wants other temperatures as I do. O can do it room based, e.g. the kid's room is adjusted according to the kid being there, but overall I am not quite there yet)
As someone in the final stages of a masters degree in healthcare management and economics:
Almost. It doesn't entirely cover the costs (at least from the data we have available worldwide, which is somewhat insufficient) but a focus on mental health(which always includes workers rights, women's rights and a few more social issues that create long term health problems on a massive scale) and prophylaxis in general is FAR cheaper than what most industrial nations currently do.
We do have a few issues that are not addressed in these concepts (e.g. end of life care and costs associated with that, new types of personalised medication, accessibility in rural areas,etc.) that still make a healthcare system like that something society has to pay for...But it does improve things massively, especially the quality of life of people that are not the actual patients.
From my understanding your colleague committed a crime under the Indecent Displays (Control) Act 1981 and you can refer the matter to the police - which I would strongly recommend as this is beyond an employee-employer relationship.
And it brings the employer into a position that the company is forced to make sure that the offender cannot reoffend against anyone (not just you). While the first offense is nothing the company can really be held liable for, anything after they have (officially) made aware they can be held liable for.
Read somewhere in an book that sometimes soldiers/aides tried to hurt/kill their officers my minimally reducing their barrel width mechanically when cleaning their pistols for them.
Hard to detect and can fuck someone up good.
But while I can see how that would work in theory I don't see how this could be done without someone noticing it and with the tools at their disposal.
Mine right now off the top of my head is Adam Savage, former co-host of Mythbusters years ago. I sometimes watch his Tested videos whenever he answers questions and he answers them very thoughtfully. A lot of his thoughts, takes and answers based on his experiences and point of view on life and career has helped me be more...
And, funny enough a "colleague" of him, R.Lee Emmy - First he made sure that any ideas of going to the army went out of my head and then I saw a very very good speech of him at a time when I was in a dark place.
Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?
I can recommend using Cloudron but I don't use Radicale.
Cloudron is in no way a necessity for anyone - it's simply me being too lazy to keep everything up to date, read all the necessary documentation for all the services we run,etc.
Cloudron does all that for me - and I couldn't be happier.
Johannes,the owner, provides fast support (had two glitches with Hetzner DNS over the years) and the amount of Apps is getting wider each year, although I would rather see their range be broader (e.g. a proper Monitoring system instead of yet another project management),but that's just me.
In theory it's even possible to create your own apps for cloudron, both for public and private use, but that is beyond my capabilities.
It can also be used as a SSO provider and reverse proxy,btw.
I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn't the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting.

In a family and SOHO setting there is an easy way around it,even without alternative media creating tools and Win11:
Active directory.
Yeah. Microsoft. But not really.
Samba can be used as an AD server for ages now, it's free,cheap and can run on a Pi or some NAS.
These days it's fairly easy to set up as long as you only use it for Identification services and basic networking.
And Microsoft won't bother you with their shit ever, as they don't dare to push corporate clients too much.
I can recommend it very much. There are also full GUI distributions available,e.g. univention.
There are templates for that.
And yes,of course it is bullshit that we have to do that.
But it's less work this way compared to installing Linux and (-the worse part-) teach it to the more technologically disadvantaged relatives who used Windows for 30 years before their retirement. Or to kids who just want to use the same stuff they use at school.
I absolutely would wish that Microsoft would stop their bullshit (it wasn't even out of the possible options for them to make AD cloud only - but a lot of government customers complained). But I wanted to show people that there is a middle ground between submitting to that fucking cloud account and ditching linux all- together.
I am all for cannabis legalisation, and have fought for it for years,even though I don't like to consume it (only makes me sick..)
BUT:
I have been a medic on the Oktoberfest for a decade and while these times are long gone, I absolutely support the ban there.
Here's why: First Alcohol and THC do not mix well. At all. In more than 20 years of emergency medicine I saw two THC overdoses - which were easy to handle. But high dose alcohol AND THC is a massive problem and will lead to people getting admitted to ICU for monitoring purpose as it is beyond what the (very advanced) medical services at the Oktoberfest can handle themselves. And ICU beds are in absolute short supply. So while alcohol is a problem and I wish the local government would put more pressure on the waiters to force them to refuse to deliver "the final Maß"(last beer) that pushes people over the edge, my former colleagues can easily handle that. But mixed-agent intoxication is a totally different beast.
Don't get me wrong, Alcohol will be the main nox in these cases - but the combination is the problem.
Furthermore the Oktoberfest is crowded as hell. And there is literally zero chance that one is able to smoke without interfering with someone else - staff, other visitors, etc.
And just like nicotine letting someone else co-consume without asking them for approval is inconsiderate as fuck - especially as there are drugs that do not mix well with THC, even more so even alcohol comes into play.
