Depends.

My main job it would be interesting. I mainly plan for organisations how to handle disasters. Not necessarily IT disasters but actual one - what happens if your hospital is on fire, your airline has hundreds of people stranded somewhere (yeah, we had a bad time recently), your muncipial water supply goes bad, the Russians actually come,etc.

If AI can do that on a level it replaces my staff and me…well…good for everyone else,because right now it’s a underdeveloped and rarely looked upon issue.

In my side job I am still working in my original trade as a critical care paramedic. Until AI can fully replace one there it will take a long time (but we see a lof of actually beneficial developments that makes the job insanely more easy and capable) and I am very likely retired by then. What is far more likely is that societies won’t be able to pay for proper healthcare anymore…and that would be “not replaced” technically, I guess.

While it’s a ressource hog look into xwiki. It is well suited for what you want to do and afaik there I came around a basic asset management plugin once.

So does homebox and basically ever OSS software mentioned here. BTW: Got some source for that?

Depending on what your exact needs are,but Snipe-IT is surprisingly decent for a Home Asset Management System, even though it is mainly geared towards IT stuff.

Okay, you can’t start a story like that and then not tell us the cruiseship story in full glory.

You are aware that this also included regular trekking groups? Not only everest?

“I am very sure my husband has no heart attack. I am a homeopathic and this is clearly not a heart attack. You don’t know what you are doing.”

I am a paramedic for 24 years, a critical care paramedic for 16. The husband had such a “myocardial infarction out of the book”-ECG it almost looked twice. He literally almost coded on us twice. And this lady walzes in (funny enough: They were in the process of separating) and after 60 sec. decides she knows what’s up.

Homeopathy therapists here have no formal training. Just a state exam that makes sure they don’t kill someone too often.

The husband barely made it,personally I think mostly out of spite for her. Had a cardiac arrest twice while in the cathlab,but survived without neurological issues.

It’s really really rare that I am out of words and don’t have a comeback. But that woman in that moment?

(For the medical folks: Massive STEMI accross 3 leads, massive contractility issue visible on POCUS, later on become pressure dependended, had VF arrest during PCI, needed an impella for two weeks)

Which one? The first Bush-Iraq war? Yep. Not as blatant,but generally yeah.

The second one? Nope, the country pretty much was in shambles already.

Yeah. The thing is: For a moment you forget that. I saw one for real. Planned big ass explosion. I knew beforehand and was specifically there for it and invited by the goverment agency doing it.

But for a very short moment you forget that and your brain goes full on monkey mode.

Yeah, but not that many.

Usual setup nowadays: One monitor for the main CAD (computer aided dispatch) forms, one for map overview, eventually a third one for a unit overview(theye are often done on the map monitor these days), one for external data (browser window, video feeds,etc.), one below as a touchscreen for communication control (VoIP/Radio).

Most EMS Dispatch clients I have switched to a three+one touch setup ages by now and rather use a central dashboard for some less important views and feeds.

…while Lazyness surely is an added bonus,you still do not understand the purpose of IP KVM/BMC for anyone beyond a lazy homenet enthusiast (which is fair enough,but don’t critisise people for stuff then).

BMC/KVM is must when it comes to professional deployments - for even a small DC or most professional settings anything else is unfeasible. And sadly in these settings at some point you will need some point of internet access (Which in most cased a VPN will do fine unless you are customer facing). And no, your solution via jump host is not a good idea - it simply adds a single point of failure that caused a false sense of security (great now you have only one device you need to get into and behind that it’s open field). Besides it’s highly unfeasible for a multiuser enviroment.

Proper Zero Trust, proper firewalling/IDS/IDM proper network segmenation AND proper device security are key.

Tbh, I am not surprised Gl.i was hit so hard here - they chucked out a LOT of new KVM devices recently that it was somewhat likely they had issues - which is a shame because some of their devices have some unique selling points. Meanwhile I am more surprised that nanoKVM came back with only one issue - their traffic patterns are a major headache still.

Yep. And any access in that VLAN goes through heavy scrutinity and is monitored.

But the first person mentioning a jumpserver should be shot on sight.

I drive: KIA EV6.

What I wish for? A better KIA EV6. I love my EV6, it’s a marvellous car,much more fun than the Audis, BMWs, etc. I drove before. But yet there is room for improvents.

Tbh, at the moment the maintainer seems to be have gotten the message - or at least tries to make it seem so. I would give him the benefit of doubt at this stage, at least for a while now.

Without Synapse migration it’s sadly still hard for longer established servers to migrate/impossible.

Very happy with a KIA EV6.

No longer valid. A shitton of companies are UG by now - I operate one myself. It is very rarely an issue,even back when it’s been just an UG we used.

They don’t need a GmbH, a UG would do it for less starting capital, BUT a joint stock company does not protect you from Scheinselbstständigkeit per se.

It’s a proper clusterfuck.

Read up on Scheinselbstständigkeit. Then talk to a tax advisor that is knowledgeable in that topic.

Only once you fully understood the implications you can proceed - and by understanding I mean realizing how utterly hard the law makes it for regular freelancers. And don’t get me wrong, but if you are unable to understand that topic due to language skills don’t do it. Not because it’s not possible to understand the legal situation through translating apps - but more because you will get a LOT of paperwork you must understand precisly because one wrong word will ruin you and cost your customers thousands. And which is often required to be send back within days. (Looking at you, DRV)

That being said classical admin work freelancing unlike actual consulting is almost impossible to do under the current laws.

Welcome to Germany/Austria,etc.
