Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse

I’m interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that’s a lot of “boards” in that list. :)

  • Ich würde wirklich, wirklich gern viel mit dem Zug fahren und einfach nie wieder ein neues Auto kaufen. E-Scooter für die Wege von und zum Bahnhof plus Deutschlandticket und gib ihm.
    Aber die Deutsche Bahn verkackt es einfach so derart nachhaltig - vor allem mit Umsteigezeiten bei allem unterhalb von ICs - dass das einfach nicht realistisch zu machen ist; zumindest wenn man wie ich nicht in einem Ballungszentrum mit eigenem Verkehrsverbund lebt.

    Aber da das Verkehrsministerium so wie einige andere auch immer die Strafversetzung für inkompetente Politiker, die niemand mag ist, wird sich daran auch so schnell nichts ändern.








  • We don’t have our devs on call at all. Infra / platform ops are and I think they get 750€ per on-call week (not more than one week out of four) which includes two calls or two hours of call duration whichever is reached first.

    After that it’s another 70€ per call or started hour and it’s the same if an expert who is not on call is asked to help out with an issue reported to on-call (but they may not answer / decline as there’s never an expectation to be “soft on-call”)

    Overall that’s an okay deal and some sorely needed extra money for the ops guys and gals. But all the same I’m happy that my devs don’t need to plan their lives around an on-call schedule.


    Edit: Ah sorry, didn’t even answer all the questions in OP…

    We’re in Germany and there is a cooldown time after you fielded an emergency on-call report (which is outside of regular working hours by definition) which is either 8 or 10 hours (not entirely sure since my team doesn’t do on-call as previously stated) before you are allowed to start your regular work time for the following day.
    Not sure how they tally up working hours for payroll but if you wake up to a call at 3am then certainly no one expects you to be online again at 8am. If you get a call at 10pm however then you get to start working normally the next day. (unless that issue took forever to troubleshoot ofc)

    On-call rotations are one entire week per person who participates (which is not mandatory) and the participants per pool must be at least four - which is why they are pooling web admins, DBAs and other ops folk together.
    That seems to work okay even though every so often more specialized know-how is required than the current on-call tech possesses for the topic at hand and then they request extraordinary assistance as described above.


  • Einerseits fairer Konter, weil SPD und Grüne es bisher jedes Mal auf irgendeine Weise verkackt haben, wenn sie tatsächlich mal die Chance hatten, dem Club Deutscher Unternehmer und dessen Steigbügelhalter die Regierung abzunehmen.

    Andererseits gehört Autokanzler Schröder so sehr in die SPD wie Daimler Kretschmann zu den Grünen und Putingroupie Wagenknecht zu den Linken. Nämlich gar nicht, wenn wir ehrlich sind. (Sind Politiker aber halt nicht, sonst wären sie nie Politiker geworden; aber das sagen wir nicht laut)
