Anyway some websites i visited puts me in captcha loop because i use vpn so is there any straightforward no bullshut...

bobbytables,

Bazarr with a few services activated works great for me.

bobbytables,

Huh, I’m curious how this one turns out. Lots of German news outlets use some kind of privacy paywall for their websites. Its always some pop-up with “read the article for free with tracking or subscribe to [newspaper name] Pure/Plus”. So this might affect way more smaller companies than just Meta.

I mean I don’t like the choice but at least it’s a choice. Journalism costs money so they have to get their budget somewhere, I guess.

bobbytables,

I hate the idea of metric time (for a lot of use cases metric is still awesome).

12 and 60 can be easily divided by 2, 3, 4, 6. 60 also by 5 and 10. Even for 8 it’s still kind of easy.

For 10 or 100 division is easy for 2, 5 and 10 and okay-ish for 4.

The 12/60 (and 360 degrees of a circle) are such an elegant system!

bobbytables,

IMHO especially in a setting like time where fractions are very common (like “half an hour”), being able to represent fractions with whole numbers is very convenient.

bobbytables,

AFAIK the system goes back to the old Babylonians who had a base-60 system subdivided into 5 times 12. 5 times 12 could easily be counted using your thumb to count the 12 knuckles on the other fingers and the 5 fingers of the other hand.

I mean, how amazing is counting like that! I only learned to count to 10 with my fingers. I love the base-10 for its simplicity but base-60, subbase-12 is the shit :D

bobbytables,

You are right! English is not my first language and I thought I was talking about the pads. My bad! Yours is the best way!

bobbytables,

20 years ago I was injured in one eye. Without an operation it would have left me going slowly blind. The operation was invented maybe 20 years earlier.

Both my eyes had a cataract at a quite early age. Artificial lenses where invented AFAIK 50 years ago. The new lenses even correct my shortsightedness and astigmatism!

So if I had lived only 50 years earlier I would be blind on one eye and quite possibly without a lense or at least seeing really foggy on the other. Now I am sitting here with - 0.5/-1 and otherwise great eye sight.

There are no words how grateful I am for the wonders of modern eye medicine.

bobbytables,

I don’t know what you already do and what your insurance would cover but here’s a list of things that helped me tremendously:

  1. I have two different inhalers. One for attacks and one prophylactic. Since I use the second one daily I haven’t had an attack in 10+ years.
  2. Have an asthma diary. Measure your breath a few times a week and take notes. After a while you will recognize patterns days ahead when the chances for an attack might be higher. Medicate accordingly! I up the dosage for the prophylactic inhaler slightly when I see changes (e.g. during allergy season).
  3. Breath out! That one sounds stupid, I know. Paraxoically the major problem with asthma often is breathing out, not in. So there are breathing exercises where you learn to focus on breathing out to make way for easier breathing in. It can be as simple as counting to 5 while breathing in and counting to 8 while breathing out with a 2 seconds break before again breathing in. Adjust the numbers for you. It calms your breathing and can even help with an attack (though I would still use an inhaler then).

I also have my lungs screened every two years. Ever since I follow the above list my measurements get better over time even though I am slowly past the “it will heal by itself” age.

Where I am from all the above steps are covered by insurance. I know for example in the US inhalers can be obscenely expensive so step 1 might be a problem. But steps 2+3 are low cost and are still very beneficial. So I hope you can find something in the list that eases your burden.

“[…] präzisieren die Linken, Grünen, die SPD, FDP und die Klimafraktion im Stadtrat ihre Forderung und weisen die Rheinbahn gegen die Stimmen von CDU und AfD an, künftig auf Strafanzeigen zu verzichten.”

Bei all den Grautönen in der Bewertung lässt sich die (politische) Welt manchmal ganz einfach in gut und böse unterteilen.

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

bobbytables,

Yes, it was Munich. And all things considered it worked quite well for a while.

After a while AFAIK the then new mayor called himself a “Microsoft fan” and tried to get Microsoft to build their new German HQ in Munich. So I am pretty sure there is no connection whatsoever between canceling Limux and switching back to Windows and Microsoft building a huge campus in Munich Freimann…

bobbytables,

I really love it, too.

bobbytables,

Nah, he used to work with databases but it’s really not his passion.

bobbytables,

Hi!

bobbytables,

https://www.tunemymusic.com is a great service for migrating libraries.

bobbytables,

There’s the Pico 4 - but the company behind it is ByteDance. You might know ByteDance from their other product: TikTok…

So in the end it would be out of the frying pan and into the fire, I think.

Die anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen sind mitunter mehr verwirrt als Södy beim Gendern.

bobbytables,

I use InvoiceNinja for what seems to be a very similar use case. After a doable learning curve I really like it. You can install it on bare metal or use docker.

bobbytables,

Sorry for answering so late. Yes, just mark the invoice as paid or something. Your have to have the invoice in the system though as far as I know.

bobbytables,

Hmmmm, die ist auch an der Schule hier im Ort gerade. Ist das so ein gesamtdeutsches Ding gerade oder wohnst nahe München?

bobbytables,

Evidently, [loops and goldfish] are intended to be compatible with one another, as well as other video platforms in the Fediverse, such as PeerTube or Vidzy.

From the article. So yes, they should be cross compatible at some point.

bobbytables,

Aus Interesse und aktuellem Anlass: wird Öko-Terrorismus eigentlich automatisch dem linken Spektrum zugeordnet? Oder muss das zusätzlich hervorgehen, dass es auch links war?

bobbytables,

Linke: Gewalt gegen Sachen.

Rechte: Gewalt gegen Personen.

Ratet mal, was die Politik scheinbar schlimmer findet. So deutlich habe ich die Faeser jedenfalls bei keinem rechten Übergriff reden hören.

Wo Hausverbot für die AfD im öffentlich-rechtlichen Rundfunk?

bobbytables,

Sollen wir das hier als Gruppenarbeit lösen?

Als tatsächlich echte Lehrkraft kann ich sagen, dass Abwechslung in der Sozialform bei der Bearbeitung von Aufgaben wichtig ist ¯*(ツ)*/¯
