Try the Black Forest. We have Lynx and wolves and even a mysterious elk this summer.
And tbh, V60 is a high average to fall from. Had one of these and while I didn’t loved it, I liked it. To quote a friend of mine who still owns one “brutally average and brutally versatile”.
Try a EV6 or 3,though. Good EVs are a huge difference when it comes to “fun in everyday driving” imho, due to their different engine characteristics.
Especially as a European the first two things can be changed to some degree. I live within sight(200m) of a proper nature park that basically is an extension of an national park. And I have four different options for fast train travel within an hour and a (most of the time) reasonably good regional connection and a almost perfect regional connection 25min away.
Tbh, we did specifically move here for these things.
In terms of driving I must disagree - I have driven various cars from the 60ies and while they are gorgeous from the outside, the inside was always very underwhelming and also simply exhausting to drive. But maybe I am also too different - I used to have big company cars (BMW 5, Audi A4/6/7, MB C/E) and did not really like them. Nowadays I drive a EV6 and it’s the most fun car I ever had,by a higr margin.
First time at 8…when my drunk ass neighbour jumped from his 10m high roof and landed on his patio.
Ended with a Helicopter and everything, he actually survived.
Second time was when I was already an EMT to call for backup.
Last time was on Monday to,well, call for backup as an paramedic as radio reception was shit.
Absolutely the best.
Technisation and standardisation are good for the EMS sector.
The whole “it was better when we could do what we want and back then we had only real calls with sicker people and everything was good” is fucking aweful and hurting the profession.
Look, you fucking volunteer dick, I know you do this for 10 years longer than me (and I do it for 25 now),but unlike you I did it full-time and probably had more shifte in one year than you had in your life. Now my back is fucked because back then there was no “electrohydraulic stretcher”, no stair chair, the ventilator was twice as heavy (and could basically nothing), the defibrillator weighted so much we often had to switch carrying it after two floors up.
And we had just as many shit calls,but got actually attacked worse because the shit 2kg radios were shit and had next to zero coverage indoors, and so had cellphones which led to you being unable to even call for backup.
And of course we had longer shifts,needed to work more hours and the whole job market was even more fucked.
“But we didn’t need this and that,we looked at the patient”. Yeah,go fuck yourself. MUCH more people died or took damage from that. So many things were not seen. And it was all accepted as “yeah, that’s how life is”.
So fuck everyone in this field and their nostalgia.
Pihole has a few drawbacks when your systen grows - a lot of things then need to be done by hand that others do either automated or at least easier.
Personally I have become very fond of technitium - it does everything you will ever need and the main drawback is that it seems so fucking overwhelming initially. But: Once you figured out that you basically only need 10% of the fields it becomes easier. And it’s fucking solid and just works and works and works.
Not a fan of Pi-hole itself, but other than that,why not?
(Technitium DNS has some advantages down the road)
If you like your work? Keep working. The demographic bubble is gonna burst all over the world and that will indeed make pensions unstable.
That is a bad setup then. Not an issue of the software or hardware.
If that was in eastern Germany 10 years ago…that was me and I had my reasons,see above.
I had basically the same idea following a similar thread in a forum around 12 years ago.
Not FBI,but something similar from my country. Luckily I only used it for my physically seperated guest network(totally different connection)
… Thanks to Ubiquiti being asshats and not telling people about a zero day for months it got hacked and renamed into “FreeWeedAndFreeBeerIfyouringat{MyLastName}”. They even replaced the background of the portal page with a carefully crafted picture explaining how they did it.
… I very much suspected the two CS students next door,especially as the range was shit and it was either them, someone with a really sophisticated array and (as you couldn’t park in our street it would even be hard for a average wardriver to do so easily) and I very much rule out the 90 year old lady below us or the family who both were,well,rather non technical it seems. (He asked for help to set up his TV)
… As revenge,when one of them got a girlfriend who was as pretty as she was loud we set up a small open wifi on a mikrotik device which was just strong enough to go through one wall that was named “WeCanHearYouHavingSex” that lead to a fileserver that had a .wav in it with a five second proof of that and then Rick Ashley.
… He kindly asked for that being turned off before christmas when his parents would visit.
Real. But I live in a pretty foresty area and just go to the neighbourhood farmer where I also get my eggs from and my poultry and it’s not pricey and goes into the fireplace once it’s dry enough.
Yeah. And Netbird/Pangolin go a long way these days.
Have a look at Layer7,btw. They are more than decent and you can easily install Proxmox on them as a Hypervisor.
Just a theory: There is a good chance that your provider does CG-NAT and that was the issue with OpenVPN. These would persist with wireguard,sadly, unless you solve them properly. (Which can be tricky). But just for the book: Running an Wireguard Container behind your router and have a port forwarded to it is an option. (But still needs CG NAT adressed)
Thaft leaves you with a few options:
Cloudflare: Imho a bad idea - it’s evil, it’s monopolistic and while it’s “an easy way” it has its technical downsides. As you said a domain is still required.
Use a small VPS and run a wireguard tunnel and maybe pangolin as a reverse proxy on it.It has the benefit of being very flexible and once configured is fairly stable and it puts the security part outside your network. But it costs money unless you maybe make it work on oracle’s free tier. I would still recommend using a cheap domain,though)
As others have mentioned: Tailscale/Zerotier/Netbird absolutely are an option if it’s just for you. But they get nasty if it’s for more people or larger deployments with tailscale and while netbird is far better it’s less common and does require a domain as well. (Which,again,is not a bad idea to have)
VMs and Clusters are nothing new,neither are KVM/QEMU.
But Proxmox has given the whole thing a huge boost,made it available for smaller deployments and hobbyists and generally pushed a lot of people away from MS, the cloud and towards digital sovereignty.
Yeah. LLMs are helpful IF you now what they are, what they can do, etc. and that you still have to check their solution.
For some things they are good and safe time.
Example: We currently work with a company who has understood this verx well: They provide doctors reports and also validate manually written ones. Their workflow basically is: The doctor orders a doctors report for patient A. The system checks witht the doctor that it has understood the major bullet points from the clinical information system and the order given by the doctor. (Basically a “yes” “no” answer system like “Patient was admited for chestpain?”) and then creates the report with a color coding in the version the doctor needs to check. (E.g. "white background for “we are 100% sure about the data as it comes directly from the clinical information system” aka names, dates, lab results, green for “very likely to be correct”, yellow for less than 99% certainity, orange for less than 90%,etc.) The system also has a mandatory “minimum verification time”, e.g. for a longer letter you will need more time to read it and can’t simply click okay without reading it. Nevertheless the doctor needs around 10-15% of their time for a report and overall satisfaction by the facilities receiving them has massively improved as they are more “standardized” in it’s format and they find the same information in the same parts every time.
For quality assurance a cetain degree of reports will be send “upwards” and the QA manager of the facility reads them as well, additionally some departments have implemented that if doctor A writes a report e.g. 5% goes to doctor B to check and vise versa.
Additionally the system also validates manually written reports (for training reasons med students and interns are not allowed to use it), e.g. “are you sure this patient had hypotension when admitted? He was given large amounts of a anti-hypertension drug within 5 minutes after being admitted”. This has significantly reduced errors in manual reports (we check a four digit number by now).
Whole thing runs locally (*) and does not need any outside connection at all and the model is open to the clients (they are actually encouraged to train it with their own data and to let their data security officers check it).
(*: This is actually an issue,sadly. As doctors reports are basically written all at the same time during the day and of course the model needs a fair share of ressources it needs a somewhat beefy appliance for it. While that is not an issue for a larger hospital it is not feasible for a smaller community hospital who barely manages it’s own IT infrastructure or even a small doctors office - but we found these to be the ones who would benefit the most from it. At the moment we don’t have a good answer for that beside hosting it elsewhere which would defeat the purpose and make it a privacy nightmare. We will see if these guys solve that before they fully introduce it into the market)
That saves time, money (even if it’s only for the larger facilities atm) and benefits patient care directly.
Netbox,especially when combinded with Plugins is so incredibly good and might,that’s it’s almost funny how good it is. What I do Plugin wise:
Documents: not implemented yet by me,but one could store manuals,etc. directly within netbox.
Lifecycle and Inventory: While it’s not as good as snipe-it (tbh, inventory is imho one of the worst plugins) it does the job for my small deployment
Slurp it to scan automatically
QR Code for obvious reasons
Floorplan as well
Of course that sounds overkill for a small deployment, but I simply forget too many things after a few months otherwise and it’s something my family (wife is in IT and far more qualified than me) would need if something happens to me,so a proper documentation would be essential for that as well.
Just saying:
There are alternatives for LE,not for all things, but for a lot. Afaik not all of them do follow suit.
Basically they underdosed so hard that even 14 year old drug addict does take more - and very likely their stuff didn’t partially work at all, as they put it in tea. So… Most of them did only feel very good/bad/nauseated, some got unconscious.
The crazy part was me coming into that room seeing them and VERY MUCH reconsidering my life choices. I graduated a few weeks backs, just got pissed and spat on the call before and now that. And then panicing a bit and calling dispatch to "send me everything ". Which they did and ended up…a bit much… Like…very much too much.
Can’t remember the name and can’t tell either,sorry. That is a long time ago,20 years+ some.
Yeah? The Rhine allows 2500t load and up to 110m long ships, with special permits up to 5000t and 185m.
10% of all swiss trade and 40% of all hydrocarbons are brought through there…
So yeah, kind of ocean-going. There are numerous private ships there that are fully ocean going.
