I need to know

I built a new PC recently. All I needed to see were the benchmarks over the last 5 years. There’s currently no contest.

My dentist does it. I think it is fairly common to be done by a dentist in Germany.

The lemmings scrolled too greedily and too deep.

When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.

Sounds like someone is due a raise 😅

LOOK AT THE BONES!

Sounds about right. I was a die hard fan of Intel for years. I upgraded my PC this year and I picked AMD for the first time in my life. Looking at the scathing reviews and performance tables, it is an insane choice to pick Intel.

We do also get money taken directly out of our pay check for health insurance. So it isn’t just the 5 euro fee. But I think it manages to be considerably less, since everyone is required to have insurance. I think that brings down the cost for everyone.

Also Germany: I live rural. Most times I’ve gone I see the doctor itv takes than 30 minutes, but it depends on who else is there obviously. First come first served.

Interesting that they ask you to call in advance. I’ve never had that. We can, if we want an after midday appointment for something specific.

Yes, the awkward “Moin”. Definitely!

There used to be a 15 euro per quarter charge when using the local doctor. They scrapped that a few years ago.

All the blood work I’ve had has been free. But I’m not sure what you meant by extensive. I take a lot of anti biotics, so they check my liver numbers occasionally.

But yeah, generally a similar experience to you.

A person with one watch always knows what time it is; a person with two watches never does.

Of course!

It is a great self hosting resource: https://selfh.st/

Germany is also 2nd for self hosters, after US. According to a self hosting survey.

That’s always a danger.

You could host the server on its own vlan and use tailscale to tunnel from a VPS to your server. This way your IP isn’t exposed to the public. You can also add crowdsec or similar on the VPS.

I do the same thing with traefik on my dirt cheap VPS.

You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

This is the way.

Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.

Also Cloudflare adds a caching layer, often physically closer to users. Increasing speed of delivery and reducing server costs. It’s a no-brainer for server admins.

Also, I don’t work for Cloudflare either. The animosity is new to me, and certainly something I’ll look into.
