  • You’ll feel the cold much more.

    But after some time, the stomach adapts and you don’t really feel that much hunger anymore.

    Just can be, that you produce a Gastritis, because the stomach wants to dissolve something and after some time it’s itself.

    Also, muscles will be used, after fat, and you lose weight in a not nice way.

    It’s (imho) also really hard to get back to regularly eating normal meals.

    After a few weeks of stress and not eating much (last week was like 1.5 sandwiches the whole week), I needed quite some time to be able to process a real meal again.
    I would eat a few bites, get the sweats and want to puke.

    But the was a bit of an extreme case - at least on countries without famine…





  • I was growing up with my grandparents, who still had a few pigs, chickens and I always had cats. I was always outside and in the forest, but I’m still allergic to pollen of grass, flowers and trees, also surprisingly to cats and dogs - and, which is more shit - to bees, wasps etc…

    Although from young on I just ignored the allergy regarding cats and dogs. Now I’m still having a cat (a rescue, who lives in my apartment) and besides some heavier reaction to scratches, I don’t have any problem with cuddles and sleeping in bed with him.

    I think my overly concerned mother (young single mother) just went to the doctor with every little thing I had, and all the antibiotics I’ve got, have fucked up my immune system.

    With the pollen thing I’ve got syringes as a child, so at least I got rid of the allergic asthma. And the older I get, the better it seems to get.

    But with cats and dogs, I was just stubborn and it seems it worked out ;⁠-⁠)

    Still, I was always outside playing in the dirt and still got a shitload of allergies…


  • Hm… Strange I was very much of the opinion that I had the option, when I bought the laptop, but (at least on mobile) I can’t see it now.
    Because I remember, that I was so happy to be able to choose CoreBoot

    But checking my BIOS, it’s from insyde
    And I’ve no idea what exactly those guys are and what they build up on - or if it’s a completely other UEFI BIOS

    That’s a bit of a bummer now, actually

    Edit: or maybe I’m mixing it up with the StarLabs StarFighter order, I had to cancel.
    That would make at least sense, and my memory is just scrambled, but not completely creating fictional stuff ;⁠-⁠)





  • Well, for backups this still sounds kinda nice

    Tape backups are rather slow as well - at least as far as I know. The professional stuff was always out of my league monetary wise.

    If someone has a good alternative, I’m absolutely up for it.

    Currently I’m using a local server with just a RAID1 to mirror important files on my workstation and those (incremental) backups are getting encrypted and uploaded to a cloud drive.

    But for really large data amounts, this isn’t really practical. So I only use this route for business documents, invoices, etc.
    But for large data like code, I’m currently only doing a local mirroring (although on multiple devices), so if my office burns down, I’ll lose quite much - at the moment I’m lucky, because I can push my code changes to a customer git mirror, so I should be fine on that front for now.

    But still, I loathe the day, I really need to restore from my cloud backup.
    Maybe I should do some dry runs periodically, to verify my restore path works. But just like server stuff, I really don’t like to touch it that much o⁠:⁠-⁠)

    I’m currently using BORG (with Vorta) to backup everything locally and distribute it to my server and the cloud.

    If anyone has a better idea, I’d be really grateful…

    Doing periodically hard disk backups and giving them to a partner company (while I keep theirs in my safe) seems to not really work out in the long term, as I’m often on business trips and our exchanges got more seldom over time…



  • I’m having a remarkable (actually from gen 1 over 2 to the current version 3 now) and it’s an absolute gem.

    I always rely on pen and paper for my work to scribble down stuff, draw some diagrams or just take typical meeting notes.
    When a paper notebook was full, I still needed it, but also had to pack a 2nd one.
    Working on multiple projects made this even more complicated (read: heavy backpack full of notebooks). Now with the remarkable I can have much more structure (with folders and tags) in my notes for all projects, have the ability to move things around on the page to restructure and I can easily sync it to other devices or do a screen cast, when I quickly want to show something during meetings.

    It just fits my workflow perfectly.
