    I have expanded my setup over the years. And tbh, I reached so many stages where I read up how pi-hole or adguard achieved this and that. And every time it was like “damn,if you want more than the basics they are actually more complicated. I just have to look up this and this and Technitium does it by the book.”. That’s so refreshing.

    Tbh: I haven’t found a really good replacement yet (we are simultaneously coming off confluence as well and that is even harder)

    What we tried:

    • Bookstack: I.can.not.understand.what.people.like.about It.Period. From my point of view it’s one of the worst systems on the market. Why? The fact that it only allows three different levels of hierarchy, the fact that by default all your images are public and their recommended solution is security by obscurity instead of proper handling it(which it can do) or their absolutely abhorent permission handling.

    • Xwiki: It’s… Clumsy. Possibly the most capable one, but it’s Java and munshes resources like they are free and it’s bothersome to setup/get working. Once it works it’s extremely capable,especially from a business point of view. It’s one of the close contenders for my confluence customers atm.

    • DokuWiki has become pretty capable,but takes a good theme and a few modules to be “up to modern standards”. The second close contender.

    • Another major contender is also BlueSpice. Will look into that next week.

    • Last but not least outline is also an idea. Currently looking into that.

    • For my personal reference,especially for everything self hosted I used to maintain a fairly extensive Wiki.js,but I have found it more and more bothersome as a split between the configuration assets and the wiki was always there. So nowadays it’s often more integrated and stringent to use my GIT repository (forgejo) to keep my documentation as well.

    • The same approach is also a nice one for my work and we still discuss if we might “make it work” with our project management (Redmine) and it’s wiki component.

    • Lastly for a personal wiki Tiddly might be enough, btw.

    Yeah, as many said: It’s dead. I was heavily invested into Wiki.JS but cannot recommend it to anyone anymore due to the antics of the developer. Even if the mysterious new major version that should fix every issue comes out at some point, as long as the development policies don’t change it’s not worth it.

    I am currently actively moving everything away from it.



  • Cunt is one of the most Australian words I know. I sadly left OZ more than a decade ago,but I still get a bit of a melancholic feeling whenever I hear it.

    The fact that you can also say cunt in an positive sense is fucking funny.

    Sick cunt! And Oi cunt is always a bit of a hit and miss for someone who is not an native Australian slang speaker.

    (Oi cunt once got me thrown out of an irish pub somewhere in County Cork - when used to greet my Australian mate

    Bogan is also a word that needs much more recognition worldwide. Same as Drongo and Fair dinkum. And so many others.



  • Okay, okay. I know it’s a cliche right now, but can we please please please get this guy a brain scan? This sounds like a really good case for a few parasites.

    Seriously. You either had a massive massive anemia (red meat can temporarily (!) help then), you are a top shitposter or you have a major issue.

    Source: Healthcare professional. Not your HCP.

    And btw(edit): Diet change is absolutely known to cause mania in bipolar and similar diseases and a lot of what you write sounds like a patient in a phase of mania or hypomania. Please seek help. Or lick a lithium battery, I don’t really care.


  • Yeah. Here cops are generally the “end of the food chain” legally. Whenever none else is responsible for something or the responsible department is not available they are the ones who sort it out.

    Health department outside of office hours? Call the cops.

    Building is in a possibly insecure state out of office hours? Call the cops.

    They can of course get other departments like ambos,firies,etc. to help,but in the end, it’s their job.

    Public safety officer is very much part of their job description here.


  • Paramedic and former ambulance service director here: In my jurisdiction the car is the sole responsibility of the police - in theory. So basically we call the police and let them handle it. They will decide if it’s safe to leave it where it is (e.g. if it’s on a highway, post accident or otherwise a traffic hazard). They will usually ask the patient if they should call a specific company or,if the car is still roadworthy, if they should call someone like a relative to get it - within certain limits of course, they won’t do that on a highway and if the relative is two hours away the patient is also SOL.

    If the car is stationary as in a safe and legal parking spot it’s a bit different, then in theory we could still call the cops,but they would hate us for it when the patient is conscious. In these cases most crews simply lock down the car and give the key to the patient - the same way we lock down an apartment when we leave with a patient.

    The only case when we might leave a car unlocked and unattended is an unresponsive patient that has a transport priority,aka we need to go NOW. We will still call the cops (and they will either find a way to secure the car or tow it),but we sure as hell won’t wait. While I might have a minute to spare waiting for the cops for an average unconscious patient e.g. post seizure there are a lot of reasons where I don’t have that - and might not have the time in some awake cases as well. In these cases a car might be left unlocked - especially in times when the key rarely is still required in the ignition anymore where I can easily find it. But in these cases the life of the patient takes priority over any material assets.

    (To give you a more practical example: The last guy I left the car unlocked was a gentleman with sudden onset of massive pain between the shoulder blades and a large difference in blood pressure values between the arms - a good sign of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, a very deadly condition. That’s a “fuckfuckfuck we need to go now” condition. I looked for the car key once for around 5 seconds,the car was a mess, I couldn’t find it. Dispatch sends the cops,but they often take a long time here once they know we are no longer on scene. Sadly he didn’t even make it to the hospital alive. But we tried).





  • In terms of software: Agent NVR is imho currently one of the easiest and most compatible camera software systems available for free. Runs on a pi,even though I would absolutely not recommend one

    (Use a proper x64 SBC like the zimaboard. Makes a lot of things easier).

    Camera wise Dahua, Hikvison and Foscam are far better than Reolink, imho, but they most definitely need a separate network or a block so they don’t access the internet.


  • Yeah, but by now the much lower cost and higher efficiency of panels vs. the drawbacks of the location has shifted the cost/benefit ratio quite a bit.

    It’s far cheaper to build the panels where the energy is needed and compensate for bad weather by building more panels (and other sources) instead of having the drawbacks of the north african location. Solar panels in the desert are an issue - as noted here multiple times, sand does not mix well with panels, neither does too much heat. Solar reflector plants have never really taken off due to various issues as well. For countries that have access to comparably cold deserts like the PRC it’s a bit different and they have implemented similar plans

    And transport remains an issue by itself and so does political stability in these countries.
