Tbh: I know people who have incredibly easy pregnancies, deliveries and then habe a child that hardly bothers anyone. And then others....not so much.

And hormones are mighty in what they do to a brain.

Yeah. And it's a huge problem in the developing world.

A gynaecologist I used to work with from time to time dedicated her whole retirement to it - she operated hundred of cases per year until she physically could not do it anymore,then she spent another two years teaching in various places until she could no longer do that anymore as well. (By then she was well into her 80ies). She was a saint basically, but without the whole Christian stuff (she had a massive hatred for the church and especially mother Theresa)

Yeah. Very good way to know when your SO is soon getting PMS as well.

And both boys and girls often have a redish discolouration in their nappies initially - aka brickdust deposit. Totally benign almost all of the times, but a lot of parents are shocked.

No, power line is "on top" of the normal power distribution - it does not actually change frequency, etc.

Funny enough yeah,you can trans mit data long range via powerlines.

I am old enough to remember the older career firefighters having devices at home that basically listened to the frequency shift. If a certain signal was given (via the substations) that frequency shift was observed by the devices and an electric alarm bell was activated so people knew shit had hit the fan and they probably should head to work.

It was already phased out,thought, back then.

Well, if only the US federal goverment would provide adequate care for people in that facility,that would very likely create enough additional business for the hospital to survive.

If only....

Thanks a lot. I expanded it a little bit.

Basically:

  • Small proxmox node (Zimablade) that basically does only operate a Proxmox Backup Server for local clients and fast backup.

  • Offsite ZFS send to a VPS I operate for that purpose. As well as Proxmox Backup Server for VMs,etc. Basically meant as a fast recovery option. (Layer7)

  • Offsite S3 storage backup to a different provider from above. Meant for a medium term backup. (Hetzner and IONOS)

  • Portable HD: I have two different portable HDs. One is hooked up to the Backup server, the other one is in a lock box in my banks safe. The "connected one" does a weekly backup (and is switched off in between). Once in a while (around 6 to 12 weeks, with 12 weeks being the hard maximum) I take the active one to the bank and both drives switch places. That provides a full backup. (WD My Book and Seagate Expansion - the differrnt manufacturers are intentional)

  • Last line of defence: The real real important things (photos of life events-weddings,etc.- important documents,Password DBs) etc.) get burned on a M-disc Archive blue ray. They are also in the bank safe and at a secure third location. They are more meant for "shit hit the fan and I might not be there anymore,but maybe the kids want these". Additionally they provide a defence against encryption viruses - write once reas many (WORM) has it's advantages here.

This is another thing to consider: Have detailed descriptions for others how to retrieve your data in case something happens. I operate a private wiki (on an external server) that also gets saved into the M-Discs that has step by step instructions, as they might need to be followed by someone not that tech adept. (Like my In-Laws in case both my wife and I perish.), have notes in my password DB (Vaultwarden, which has a digital heritage/emergency access function and is also exported), in the vault, and a note in my will notifying people about this.

Edit: And: Test your recovery. Almost every data loss I have witnessed in the last years was a recovery problem. Missing encryption keys, data structure issues, etc. I have seen them all. Personally I try to recover a random file (as in: A script tells me which one) twice a year from every method and try a full recovery of each method at least once six month after introduction. Thst being said: It's nice to have encrypted backups,but that doesn't help if you can't find the keys/the software does no longer exist,etc. Currently a LOT of my clients have the same problem: They use Tandberg RDX for backup, including WORM. Now, Tandberg has gone bust and it's not that unlikely that yhey won't be able get another RDX drive in 5 or 10 years. Or 20. Which is the legal requirement for some official files here. Well,fuck. They needed to get additional drives asap when the bankruptcy became official.

Friends have used ancient LTOs and now face the same issues - LTOs are not downwards compatible. (That's why I use "common" technology. It's extremely likely that I will be able to find a spare BD drive in 20 years,etc.)

Cyberpower OR600ERM1U or similar are nice - or the OL1000ERTXL2U if you want a online usv.

Not that the Eatons are bad,they are a little bit nicer in a few things, but often also more expensive.

Massive massive trade alleviations - the fact that Canada could export to a economic zone of 340 Million people (realistically more as a lot of smaller economies are linked to the Euro, arouns 500 -700 Million depending on how strict your criteria are).

The direct GdP of that zone is roughly 16.4 Trillion USD, the third largest economic zone after the UD and China but with a much less centralized wealth distribution. (And 17.5 Trillion if you add the closely related economies.

Why is this important/good? Because then Canadian companies could do trade with long term commitments without having to factor in the risk of currency fluctuations. Additioally the economy would be much less prone to foreign pressure on it's currency.

For Canada this would be especially interesting: They import large amounts of natural ressources, import industry goods but are also far enough away that some drawvacks like outsourcing to lower income areas are not as likely.

And from the EU perspective the additional "stable customer" and "stable supplier" would be golden.

You are more than welcome to join, if you ask me(and basically everyone I know).

After all you are the country with the closest sea border to France* and also have a close maritime border to Denmark*.

(*: Well, these parts are not part of the EU,yes,but that's hardly youe fault).

We would be very happy to have you.

And beside the whole "free trade" stuff it also has another often overlooked one: The EU is also a defence alliance (the terms are actually stronger than NATO's but the later takes precedence) especially in times when NATO is,well, unreliable, that might be a big plus as well.

Ersthelfer Apps - Rettet das Leben eurer Nachbarn! (rettungslandschaft.steiger-stiftung.de)
submitted 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) by philpo@feddit.org to c/dach@feddit.org
 

In Deutschland sterben jedes Jahr ca. mehr als 65.000 Menschen am plötzlichen Herztod.

Ein nicht unerheblicher Teil dieser Menschen wäre zu retten wenn sie rechtzeitig Hilfe bekommen hätten. Das Problem dabei: Es geht um Sekunden bis Minuten, eine Zeitspanne die der Rettungsdienst,egal wie gut er ist kaum abdecken kann - die Bedingungen müssen schon sehr gut sein,damit wir binnen der ersten 5 Minuten nach dem Ereignis beim Patienten sind. Real liegt die Eintreffzeit am Patienten selbst unter guten Bedingungen meist eher im Bereich 12+X Minuten. Selbst wenn wir den Patienten dann erfolgreich reanimieren können ist der Hirnschaden meist fast vorprogrammiert.

Dabei könnte diesen Leuten geholfen werden. Nicht mit mehr Rettungsdienst, Drohnen, Hubschraubern oder sonstwas. Sondern mit euren Händen. Denn: Eine einfache Herzdruckmassage ist bis heute der wichtigste Bestandteil einer Wiederbelebung. Und das Beste daran? Das kann jeder. (Und ja,jeder. Ich habe schon 91 jährige alte Damen ihren Ehemann und 11 jährige Kinder ihre Mutter erfolgreich reanimieren sehen)

Nur woher soll man wissen,dass jemand Hilfe braucht wenn man nicht gerade zufällig dabei ist? Auch dafür gibt es eine Lösung: Ersthelfer-Apps.

In vielen Regionen Deutschlands gibt es mittlerweile Ersthelfer Apps die von den zuständigen Leitstellen alarmiert werden. Das System sucht dann automatisch die nächsten Ersthelfer im Umkreis und fragt diese per App an. Bei Bestätigung erhalten diese die Einsatzdaten und genaue Anweisungen (kann z.B. auch das Abholen eines öffentlich verfügbaren automatisierten Defibrillators enthalten). Je nach Region erhalten die Ersthelfer sogar eine kostenlose Basisausrüstung aus Spendengeldern. Vor Ort sollen sie dann die qualifizierte Herzdruckmassage durchführen bis die Kräfte des Rettungsdienstes eintreffen.

Leider sind die Systeme noch nicht flächendeckend verfügbar (Dank dem kommunalen Kleinklein) und vielen Leuten auch gar nicht bekannt.

Prinzipiell gibt es zwei Basismodelle. Im Modell "Fachhelfer" werden gezielt Menschen alarmiert die prinzipiell einen "medizinischen oder Blaulichthintergrund" haben. Sprich: Ärzte/Ärztinnen, Rettungsdienstpersonal, Pflegepersonal, Feuerwehrleute (auch und insb. der freiwilligen Feuerwehren), Polizisten, aber auch medizinische Fachangestellte, Bundeswehr-Kräfte mit erweiterter EH Ausbilung und das ehrenamtlichen Personal von Hilfsorganisationen,THW, etc. Aber auch diesen Kolleginnen und Kollegen ist das oft gar nicht bewusst. Derzeit ist das die Mehrheit der Regionen in Deutschland.

Im zweiten Modell kann sich prinzipiell jeder registrieren der einen aktuellen Erste Hilfe Kurs hat. Das ist z.B. in Berlin, Schleswig Holstein, Teilen von Hessen (u.a. Gießen und Umgebung),Schaumburg Lippe,Duisburg,Aachen.

Was könnt ihr also tun?

  • Schaut auf den Link auf der Karte der Björn Steiger Stiftung nach,ob bei euch ein System existiert. Sucht dann die regionale Seite raus.

  • Meldet euch an,wenn ihr die passende Qualifikation habt.

  • Überlegt euch bei der Gelegenheit gleich mal einen Erste Hilfe Kurs zu belegen oder aufzufrischen.

  • Und falls es kein System bei euch gibt: Schreibt euren Politikern dazu. Landrat, Bürgermeistern, Kreistag, Parteien.

Es gibt tatsächlich keinen unmittelbaren Weg wie ihr ein Leben retten könnt. Ich hab im Jahr 2024 häufiger über die bei uns vorhandene Ersthelfer App reanimiert als im Rettungsdienst. Und erfolgreicher.

Hi everyone,

I got a bit of an issue/I am a bit lost in terms of photo management software and the special usecase I have.

My situation: I have two main proxmox servers - one at home, one as a dedicated server with a hoster. The former is pretty capable and has plenty of storage. The latter is doing okay,but storage is getting freaking expensive pretty fast on dedicated machines so I have that much space available.

I usually use the public machine for anything "public facing", e.g. services I host for friends and family, website and -and here comes my problem- photo backup from mobile devices as well as sharing photos with relatives,friends,etc.

The home server originally started as a NAS and acts as a storage for my relatively large photo collection (I worked as a photographer as a sidegig for a bit and therefore have,well, a relatively large collection).

My task/issue: I can't really put the home box public facing (home internet is way too unstable here) and honestly don't want to for security concerns. On the other hand I can't really put my collection on the public machine - that would quadruple my costs as I would need a much better dedicated machine then. For the lower amount of new photos coming in through backups it's not an issue,but for the whole collection it would be. Now,very rightfully, the family complains that uploading and sorting the photos twice can't also be a proper solution. Side note: (Photos shared are basically only newly added ones)

So I had the idea to enable a one way push from the public facing instance to the private instance. That can of course be done by an export script once per day or something. But that would only export the actual pictures - no software I know of provides an option to one way sync the metadata around it as well. Which is quite odd, as I don't think I would be the only one with that issue.

So... People...am I overthinking this? Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

 

We describe the accidental transplantation of a malignant sarcoma from a patient to a surgeon. Using molecular methods, we showed that the sarcomas in the unrelated patient and surgeon were genetically identical.

A 32-year-old man underwent emergency surgery to remove a malignant fibrous histiocytoma from his abdomen and died shortly thereafter of postoperative complications. During the operation the 53-year-old surgeon injured the palm of his left hand while placing a drain. The lesion was immediately disinfected and dressed. Five months later, the surgeon consulted a hand specialist because of a hard, circumscribed, tumor-like swelling, 3.0 cm (1.2 in.) in diameter, in his left palm at the base of the middle finger, where he had been injured during the operation. An extensive examination, including laboratory tests, did not reveal any signs of immune deficiency. The tumor was completely excised. Histologic examination revealed that it was a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Two years later, the surgeon's condition was good, and there was no evidence of recurrence or metastasis of the tumor. The pathologist who investigated both the patient's tumor and the surgeon's tumor raised the question whether the tumors were identical.

(Quote from the actual article from 1996)

 

After he notified the community that he is in hospice care a few weeks ago, his wife has now notified the community that TTeck, the founder of the Proxmox Helper Scripts, has sadly passed away.

The project has been transferred to the community earlier so the Proxmox Helper Scripts as TTeck's legacy will live on.

Only a few people have contributed so much to Open Source as his scripts were a gateway for a lot of people who then ventured into self hosting an then onwards into an IT career.
