They should not be worried, they should be educated.

If you worry a new user enough they’ll go back to Windows or Apple because there’s less scary warnings there.

We need to make the transition as pain free as possible. Learning about the joys of kernel compilation and SELinux can come later.
The first step is "Hey, this is as usable as Windows, without stupid ads in the start menu.

Sounds quite similar to Markov chains which made me think of this story:

Still gets a snort out of me every time Markov chains are mentioned.

Yeah, inductive charging is basically a must.

Especially because it eliminates the guesswork if the watch is correctly seated to charge

No actual technical solution here, but it smells slightly of XY-Problems.

From what you described it seems the main issues are

• too many calls
• not knowing who’s calling
• not wanting to answer the phone
• not reaching the phone in time

Maybe you could look into solutions like setting a custom ringtone for important callers or having the phone announce caller names so your mother can decide if she wants to make the effort to get her phone.

I’m speculating a bit here but I can imagine that getting up and answering the phone is exhausting for your mother. Also if her mindset is " a ringing phone means it’s important" that could make it even more stressful.

Maybe you could find a way to let her silence all calls except caregivers and ICE contacts. (On Android DND exceptions could work for that)

That way she doesn’t feel pressured to answer the phone every time it rings and stays reachable.

If it’s actually just the physical issue of reaching the phone in time, does she have a convenient way to carry the phone indoors like a lanyard?

Hope some of this helps you

Man könnte noch argumentieren, dass es in Sichtweite gilt und die Bewohner dieser Institution durchaus kurzsichtig sind.

There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.

Should easily kill a week.

Coconut at least…

Ah, you “work” in “marketing”?

Zur besseren Findbarkeit: Es heißt “Lateral” with Tom Scott, von lateral thinking - Quer- oder um die Ecke denken, aber ohne die Konnotation, die Querdenken seit Corona hat.

Wow, that sounds like a decent start for an architecture.

I’m tempted to spin up a few Jellyfin instances to see how it might work…

JellyFed(eration) would be awesome. It should use an anonymous overlay network so federation is not limited to people you trust in copyright-zealous jurisdictions.

That’s the equivalent of leaving the door open and hanging a sign “Internet over there” pointing at a wall.

Programs don’t need to respect those registry keys. If you’re worried about internet access, set up a firewall.

Also, if you’re worried about malware, the damage is probably done before anything connects to the internet.

To a certain degree, yes. If someone at Google decides to wage all-out war against ad blockers they have a good chance. But if that costs more money than it generates, odds are that someone will stop it. Google / Alphabet is publicly traded after all and that means profit above all else.

Embedding ads into the stream would be hard to counter, but it’s far away. That would invalidate caches along the way and need extra performance to reencode the stream with the ads inserted.

That’s extra costs that are hopefully orders of magnitude above the lost ad revenue from ad blockers

Spannendes Detail:

Es ist möglich, formal fehlerhafte Rezepte an die TI zu übermitteln. Funktionierende Validierung gibt’s nicht.

Warum nicht gleich ein PDF des gescannten Rezepts ablegen, das wär wenigstens einfacher…

Noch ein Fan des Entgenderns hier. Freue mich jedesmal, wenn ich -ys in freier Wildbahn sehe.

In welcher Luxus-Ecke von Deutschland lebst du denn, dass es bei dir Videosprechstunden gibt?

Und die Gründe für Videosprechstunde nicht möglich reichen vermutlich von zu wenig Bandbreite über keine Kamera bis zu “machen wir nicht”.

Und was ist das Problem, mit Video ist ja auch ne AU möglich.

Hmpff, ich fand ihn ja schon immer latent unsympathisch. Dass er jetzt mit den “Christ”-“Demokraten” Politik machen will bestätigt das irgendwie.

I run a 2 node k3s cluster. There are a few small advantages over docker swarm, built-in network policies to lock down my VPN/Torrent pod being the main one.

Other than that writing kubernetes yaml files is a lot more verbose than docker-compose. Helm does make it bearable, though.

Due to real-life my migration to the cluster is real slow, but the goal is to move all my services over.

It’s not “better” than compose but I like it and it’s nice to have worked with it.

Die API wäre dann vermutlich nicht besser, aber mein Gefühl bei einem Dienstleister (?), der zu faul / planlos ist, seine Webservices auf Standardports ansprechbar zu machen ist nicht gut. Das riecht nach “da hat der Praktikant mal was mit nem Framework auf gebastelt und das ist jetzt produktiv”

Ist mehr ein Gesamteindruck-Bauchgefühl als eine ganz stringente Herleitung, aber ich kann OPs Bedenken durchaus nachvollziehen.

Insbesondere, weil es halt mit “Port auf” nicht getan ist. Da wollen dann noch SSL-Inspection und der Rest vom Regelwerk angepasst werden.
