Yeah,indeed the wife and Kate were on a business trip together, but I don’t mind. The wife hates Cruises though and the woods here a wonderful.

Yeah. First I felt sorry for leaving Notepad++ behind, but then I got introduced to Kate. Kate is awesome and so flexible.

Now even my wife loves Kate.

DietPi was what I came here to write about as well.

Same here - using it on various Nvidia based machines without any issues.

I had a password retrieval this week that asked me to enter my old password to set a new password.

And now this.

Oh well. We are all doomed.

Officially, yes. Never tried getting them out of the PB tbh, there are easier ways for that (cough Anna).

Impressive tbh. I read at least 30min per day in bed with background lighting on and make it for more than 2 month usually (with an Era colour, though).

The verse of my kid has not been recharged ever since they got it in August and they use it for hours each weekend and approx.1 per weekday - with zero light on,though.

Another point for Pocketbook (not relevant for you,but maybe someone else): It works effortlessly with calibre web - unlike Tolinos, Kindles and some Kobos(even those have a better integration when they work).

And at least in Europe the “onleihe” (digital public library) system works extremly well on them. Around 90% of our books are from various onleihe librarys. (Unlike Tolino and some Kobos they support multiple onleihe accounts).(BTW: There are ways to get accounts for some of these - that have extensive english sections) even if you don’t live there)

Service wise: I had issues with initial delivery and they were solid (even though it wasn’t their fault).

Data security wise we looked into the traffic a hit and beside the usual shop traffic (recommendations,etc.) it seems to not do much,but we have it in an isolated network that only allows access to Onleihe, Calibre Web and a RSS aggregator anyway.

Can’t complain at all. Very happy with them, only complaints I have so far is the not as Kobo calibre Web integration (not their fault) and the fact that their OS is not as open as I wish.

It’s not that hard actually, at least tech-wise. Our ERP always has been web based and so is our project management (Redmine). The biggest “installable” Apps are QGIS(always worked on Linux), some LaTex Apps and the Affinity suite (which works through bottles)

Officewise Softmaker is close enough to MS Office that even someone with little experience computerwise has no issues.

Combine that with a Proxmox+FreeIPA+Opsi stack in the background and you’re set.Fedora 42 Plasma is used as a client OS with benefits from us only having 2 different client models hardware wise.

“Politic” wise I have the huge advantage that I am the sole owner of the company, that my staff is young and willing to innovate as this is basically our job (we do consulting for healthcare) and that we are somewhat small and work home-office full time.

The major challenge was to make people to actually try Linux. Plasma helped her enormously,because, let’s face it, it’s beautiful. That gave Linux a lot of godwil and after two days it was usually a “I never thought it would be that easy” or “that works as smooth as Win7/10 once did for me and MS destroyed that”.

Now some of my employees have privately changed to Linux as well.

Made the move gradually - first the private computers of my family,then my company. Very happy with how it went, especially in terms of staff adoption. We still retain some dual boot windows machines,sadly,as some things currently still can’t be done in the Linux world (CAD is the one thing, some very specific Office document things we sadly get dictated by a client the other one.)

Seit Sarah W. und ihre Wagenknechte weg sind,sind wenigstens die alten notgeilen Männer weg, die alle sofort die Linke wählen würden,wenn man ihnen dafür ein Date mit der besorgt.

Ich hab während meines Landtagswahlkampfs mal Strichliste geführt, waren tlw. 35% aller Interaktionen.

Eklig.

(Disclaimer: Ich bin ja mittlerweile auch weg)

Not necessarily. Could just mean they use code that is not theirs and their licence does not allow publishing. Happens more often than one would think.

Switched to Linux for private use first. Then made my company switch(tbf, we still have to have Windows for very particular uses,but 95% of what we do works under Linux). And now we offer a complete ready made setup for medical clinics/doctors surgeries that operates on it.

Could not be happier. So is my staff and the clients we sold it to.

Sadly the realities are different: I visit around one healthcare facility every other week in all of Europe, far more infrequently in Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Hospitals consistently have the worst IT departments I ever see - outdated technology, budget constraints (I literally saw a full IT loss due to “we don’t pay for our firewall licences for over 3 years”) and a fucking lack of care. One of the most well known clinical information systems has a hardcoded admin account with a single letter as PW in it Another popular system will try to install an ancient version of TeamViewer. In other words: It’s a mess - btw often the budgets are huge and more than what nurses cost.

That’s why this unicorn stuck with me. They were “relaxed” - because they all had a workload that was “manageable”, there was someone to take over if shit hits the fan,etc. And they didn’t feel like they would need to do this and this - I know and fear this myself, it’s the bane of my existence as a project guy. They? They had a nice, lean but powerful project workflow and change management.

In the end it all came down to very very good management - a manager who knows their team that well is worth their weight iin gold.

Tbf, I might have seen a unicorn: A hospital with no tech debt neither me nor my technically more inclined colleagues could find. And we were literally paid for looking for things swept under the rug.

They had a top notch IT department with very professional management who (despite their limited budget) managed to attract talented people - simply with good working conditions, a room for creativity, etc. Everything they had was so well documented that it made me cry and think of my company’s documentation. And while they intentionally did not go with every trend and fad their stuff was rock solid and modern. I have seen much much larger companies with half their thought into infrastructure, etc.

I don’t know if they still maintain that standard,but it was a real unicorn.

It’s a known side effect of Ketamine abuse that the complete urinary genital system gets inflamed. Guys basically having a continuous cystitis and much more for the rest of his life - and he confirmed that to some degree.

If it is any consolation for anyone: He won’t be able to piss normally for the rest of his life.
