We’re using a self hosted Nexus instance at work. You probably don’t need all the features it offers, but it does its job really well. For free, too.

I use Netcup. Reliable, simple, great deals from time to time (such as Black Friday).

Same for the Romanian “poimâine” (after tomorrow). We also have “alaltăieri” (the other yesterday). They are in use, quite common.

I really like Black Mirror. I watched a bunch of TV shows, started and left midway through others, but I always go back to Black Mirror. Like the creator said, it’s sci-fi techno dystopia. And he is working on the 7th season. One of the episodes will be a follow up to USS Callister. Awesome!

Pulp Fiction. Also, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels. And Snatch. Also… aw man, there’s so many…

I have a 15yo kid with ASD. While she is highly functional, goes to a good public school, she can’t decide which trash bin to use and will just freeze for a while, overthinking it… She can talk for hours about the anatomy of a cat, but knows nothing about politics, or how the world functions… I think 16 is too young to vote, but my perspective is warped.

I’m an arch user, and also have a small proxmox based homelab. I always have a live Ubuntu around, the latest desktop version available. Good for troubleshooting. Also, latest proxmox, opnsense, pfsense, debian.

Additionally, I have a small USB drive on my keychain with both USB C and USB A, where I keep some encrypted backups of important stuff, and I can access that from both my laptop and my phone.

Pizza.

I use wildcard certs. I don’t know if this completely fixes the issue, though.

Yup, I have a domain I purchased and on my lan I use PiHole and Caddy. All my apps and services use the format app.mydomain.com. PiHole forwards all requests for *.mydomain.com to Caddy, which handles the LE certificate (via DNS challenge) and forwards the requests to the proper IP:PORT. I started using this for everything, my Proxmox hosts, printer, my APs…

Same. Grew up watching Cartoon Network, HBO and the Discovery Channel with no subs (or dubs, they are not a thing in RO). Then there was music (lyrics) and later on video games and the Internet. It helped not having any OS or software available in my native language. Even to this day I use my phone and computer in English.

While I did have English classes at school (6th to 12th), the level was rather basic… I also took French for 10 years, and I can barely speak it. Otoh, I didn’t take one Italian class, but I can speak some, and understand almost everything. Again, this is because we had a bunch of Italian TV channels in the early 90s.

Kids are like sponges, especially when it comes to languages.

We lived in Romania until a few years ago, when we moved to Germany. We speak Romanian at home, and they have a decent grasp. The oldest is fluent, with no accent, the youngest lacks vocabulary, applies German grammar rules and has a bit of German accent. All of them speak German fluently, and they use it when they talk to each other, with friends and at school. They are also fluent in English, and that is because of the media. I only use English when it comes to devices OS/interface, streaming services etc, and they are used to it. They consume YouTube, Netflix etc in English only.

They sometimes mix the languages, especially when talking to us, since their exposure to Romanian is limited.

Immich does have a pretty robust user management… https://immich.app/docs/administration/user-management/

No, in Germany you pay taxes every month. At the end of the year you can do a text return where you ask for some of that back. Usually expenses that are work or kids related (traveling for work, job seeking, after school etc). Nothing to do with the US…

You never filed for tax return in 18 years - in Germany? Mate, I get back about 1500-2000€ every year, do it.

I don’t really look/care for German content :)

I’m in Germany and I barely see any German posts… Must be something from either your user or app settings.

Every two years. That’s how I get a new phone for free…

Depends on your needs. I have a couple LXDs that only need 512MB each… But I did upgrade mine to 16GB.

Yeah, one of the USFF or whatever they call them.
