philpo,

That’s actually a cognitive disorder called Prosopagnosia.

And welcome to the club - I had a stroke and while luckily all major deficits returned to normal with timely treatment, I developed prosopagnosia.

It’s fairly freaky at times. While it’s not my main job anymore I still work as a paramedic occasionally - and when I get a massive trauma at three o’clock in the morning I can hand it over in the ED to the full resus team with every detail without looking into my notes once. But if they ask me for a name I need an ID card or my notes.

philpo,

Prosopagnosia is the name of the cognitive disorder you likely have.

philpo,

Funnily enough: I am a paramedic with special training in phlebotomy, worked in anaesthesia and did roughly 10.000 blood draws and iV lines in my life.

I am still having a hard time if someone else draws blood from me - I got accustomed to it due to chronic diseases that required a lot of blood being drawn. But: I can without any problem draw my own blood. It’s a bit complicated with only one arm,but I can do that.

(And if you want to put a needle anywhere else beside a vein and a intramuscular vaccination and I need full sedation)

Not Radius,Samba. But yes. In theory the Samba server can even run on a VM on the same PC(but that makes it really messy). Raspi or similar is far easier.

Univention offers a ready made distro for that,but not for ARM, though.

philpo,

As someone who regularly gets a fucking gramm of them iV… Yeah, don’t. It’s not pretty.

philpo,

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!

philpo,

Not cheap but easy to setup and very very capable are the Dahuas. Especially in HA they are really mighty. But sadly they are not cheap.

philpo,

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.

philpo,

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…)

philpo,

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.

philpo,

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.

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors?

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?

philpo,

I have a very special set of songs for you:

  1. Hamster Dance
  2. Lama Song
  3. Scooter - How much is the fish
  4. Aqua - Barbie girl

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.

Break their pooping souls this way!

philpo,

Not a nurse but a paramedic. Does getting a gun pulled on me by a crackhead count?

Or a guy furiously masturbating in the back of my ambulance?

philpo,

The infotainment is utter garbage for a proper car(!) infotainment and OTA updates are available for basically all major car brands these days.

philpo,

If you have a proper shoemaker around you: They usually can fix this problem easily.

The problem is to find an proper shoemaker these days.

philpo,

Homöopathie für Eigenheimbesitzer und Landwirte und eine nette Gelegenheit für Kleinflugzeugpiloten auf Flugstunden zu kommen.

philpo,

In der Pflege werden mittlerweile hohe Beträge für die Vermittlung von Bewerbern geboten - 5.000€ sind tlw. auch außerhalb der Leiharbeit, nur unter Kollegen. Da gibt es schnell mal Leute die Kontakte von Kollegen,etc. wild verteilen. Ich kenne einen Fachlehrer der gleich die ganzen Kontaktdaten einer Klasse “weiterverkauft” hat.

Not macht erfinderisch …

philpo,

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...

philpo,

Old article by someone who seems to be an absolute newbie in that field.

philpo,

Die Stelle ist übrigens nicht mal besonders unübersichtlich oder so.

Und Helis sind in der Endphase des Anflugs sehr sensibel was seitliche Berührungen angeht - es ist also weit mehr als eine Lapallie.

philpo,

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.

philpo,

Österreicher gehen halt nicht nur zum lachen in den Keller, siehe auch Kampusch.
