  • I use different things:

    • Netbox for the actual hard “inventory” like documentation. What cable goes where, what powers what, what MAC is assigned to what, when did I buy this or that?(The later with an addon). In theory I also have snipe-it,but doing it all in netplan is more convenient.

    • Wiki.js for the concept and How-To-Side. Lots of draw.io diagrams (which can be done directly in articles), HOWTOs as a reminder for me, naming conventions, etc. Also some basic inventory information for disaster recovery. (Wiki.js is not hosted locally)

    • Vaultwarden for all secrets,passwords, recovery keys, ssh keys,etc.

    • Gitea for the most important config files/scripts/docker compose files.

    • And last but not least I do backups to Mdisc Blue Rays every few months. These include the documentation, the most important files (knx project for example), etc. and are stored at a different location (bank safe). There is also an detailled explanation in both my wifes and my own will how to access these so if something happens the kiddos or someone taking care of them can gain access.



  • Haha, thank you. Glad i could help.

    Bonus content: I am also banned at two different swinger clubs in two different countries. And I swear I was never a guest in either one.

    First one: I am a paramedic and responded to a call to this establishment.Small, sleezy, club with not much going on. (We had a few od these in the area, I know how they usually look like) Man had “too many to drink” according to the owner and he basically just called us to get rid of him fast. Yeah, no. Guy in reality had a major stroke (subarachnoid hemorrhage to be exact) and was, well, actively dying. Not gonna tube a 120kg bodybuilder that is having seizures in a dark room. So I very nicely asked them to put on all the lights they could find. Which,well, did not fare well with the owner. He refused and did infact insult us and try to force us out. (With the patient) He shoved me. I am really not the guy you want to mess with when it comes to that. Former bouncer. Called law enforcement backup and shoved him back. Hard enough for him to fly through the room. Law enforcement arrived fast, arrested him and as then no licence holder was on site cleared the premises. (And according to them tipped off the fire marshal,the code enforcement and health control guys) He requested the name of the manager of my service. Which was kind of funny…i was the manager. So two days later he wrote a heated mail and banned my colleagues and me.

    The other one is sadly not as funny/expansive. During COVID I was regularly in the media(Disaster prevention/planning is my main business now) and after an interview with an national newspaper some owner took offence and wrote me a (actually fairly civilized) letter that I was banned for life in all his establishments. TBH, that one was FAR more difficult to explain to the wife than the first one.


  • I am banned from an hospital and a country.

    No, I was not an unruly patient,but instead called out their bullshit as a healthcare provider working with them. And reported them. Which lead to them banning me. Which funny enough is illegal here as well.

    And I am banned from entering Turkey. Turkish airlines nearly killed me during a flight by having some sharp pieces in my food. Had a gastric bleed from it,including a hospital stay in a foreign country. Well. My travel insurance sued them and thinks got ugly. In parallel the political party I then was a somewhat active member of back then (as in “running for state parliament”-levels) was getting in arguments with Erdogan. So one day I received a letter by my foreign department that I specifically should not enter Turkey or I might see a Turkish prison from the inside.






  • Play a reverse uno card and ask the interviewer how long they are working for the company,which position they started in, what they liked and disliked about the company and what was the last thing that made them smile while at work.

    Seriously. Do it.

    Both interviewers do work in the same position they started in after 5 years? Looks like there is not much room for development. They are all there for less than 2 years? When the company is not a startup it’s likely staff retention is bad. If both interviewers get nervous about the “like/dislike” question and only name cliché stuff: They might be afraid that they say something the other will report to someone.

    And if they refuse to answer these questions totally? Well. Fuck their company culture, obviously.

    Yunohost is okayish. Some apps sadly are badly maintained and therefore upgraded with more delay than I considered acceptable (but that has improved afaik)and integration into a single “look and feel” is a bit lacking. Nevertheless it’s solid in the end.

    If you are willing to pay something Cloudron may be an alternative for you as well - very well maintained product, good support team and rock solid from my experience - and it’s a non-US/non-China company. (German to be exact) But it costs money for more than 2 applications. I nevertheless went with them - I don’t self host as a hobby, I self-host because I want shit to work. Between job and family I have no time to fiddle around with things and keep everything updated on a short notice. I have project where I can do that, but they are not something my family or myself depend on. (And they integrate nicely with Cloudron as you can add “custom” Apps/use it as a proxy and OpenID Provider)


  • Actually, the hospital/doctor is NOT what second aid originally is. And first responder aid is also not what first aid is about.

    First aid is what is meant as the actual first aid that can be provided by anyone with minimal training. As the concept came from the military the “first aid” was meant to be applied by fellow soldiers - this is were the (rather surgical trauma oriented average first aid kit got most of it’s content of). (Unit-level embedded medics came far later) In a civilan setting nowadays it includes the basic life support provided by non-specialist first responders and depending on the definition it might include BLS ambulances (which are not seen as professionals sometimes)

    Second aid was what a medical professional does - a paramedic, corpsman or doctor and can also include a casualty collection post or similar structures. Definitions here split up a bit - depending on which authors you read second aid (aka the second aid stage) does not include any intrahospital care but does prolonged care scenarios(cases you cannot evacuate to a medical facility for longer times,like 24h+x). Other authors do include basic hospital care or similar facilities that provide some but not all treatment.

    After that tertiary or definitive care takes over - that’s when shit definitely gets fixed if it’s fixable. That will always include intrahospital care.

    To get back to your question what would be in a second care kit: Things needed for prolonged care usually. I did work in a prolonged care scenario for a while and can give you an overview what we had in our “prolonged care” kits: Urinary catheters (people need to pee even with a broken spine and we need to monitor urine production. And you can fix almost everything with it…you fix holes in hearts with them, can use them as a feeding tube,etc.), more and more permanent pain medication, suturing kits, surgical drainages,lots and lots of desinfectant, more iv fluids, heating solutions both for the patient and the fluids, medication for more permanent care (strong antibiotics, heparin to avoid pulmonary embolism from immobilisation), Military medics often include patient to patient blood transfusions kits, but I worked on the civilian side. These would easily enable one to care for patients for up to 72h hours. (Luckily 36h is the most I had to spend with a critically ill patient).
