And regarding experiences, most towns are older than America. Where I live they recently celebrated 800 years of age. There’s a lot of history to explore.

It would probably be better to get experience ideas from your daughter, since the area will be oozing with history and things to see.

I live in Germany, if you have a specific question I can try to answer.

In general there are a lot of stereotypes about Germans, but most of them aren’t correct.

1. Germans are efficient. Nope.
2. Germans have no humour. Nope.
3. Germans are unfriendly. Nope.
4. Trains are on time. Nope.

Some are slow to warm up to strangers.

Many places only take cash still, though that is slowly getting better.

People do stare, not sure if that is specifically a German thing.

One thing that might be useful for you to know, coming from America. Many Germans get irritated by stereotypical American over sharing.

Be prepared to have your opinions on Trump probed.

When I was a child I was very moved by the sequence in Homeworld where they returned to Kharak. Everything was burning and Adagio for Strings playing.

They exist in trials. The human danger is too great though I think. If the laser thinks your eye is a fly for a split second, game over for vision.

Sounds about right. I was a die hard fan of Intel for years. I upgraded my PC this year and I picked AMD for the first time in my life. Looking at the scathing reviews and performance tables, it is an insane choice to pick Intel.

Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead

Usually when you hear the typical ice cream truck songs in Germany, it’s a dude rolling around looking for old metal.

“Cigarette?”

“Yes, I know.”

That’s always a danger.

You could host the server on its own vlan and use tailscale to tunnel from a VPS to your server. This way your IP isn’t exposed to the public. You can also add crowdsec or similar on the VPS.

I do the same thing with traefik on my dirt cheap VPS.

I watched that episode last night!

What do you mean?

I’ve been using Immich for a year now. I can really recommend it. You can even bulk import from Google using takeout.

You could try wormhole. It makes a direct connection.

This is the way.

Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.

Also Cloudflare adds a caching layer, often physically closer to users. Increasing speed of delivery and reducing server costs. It’s a no-brainer for server admins.

Also, I don’t work for Cloudflare either. The animosity is new to me, and certainly something I’ll look into.

Traefik is great. NPM is super easy to setup. The only downside is customisation. Traefik can do so much more.

Ecowitt has been really good. I’ve had my station for two years now. Great equipment.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about reolink cameras on self hosting communities. But anything that supports rtsp will likely be ok.

You can also use something called wormhole. Very handy tech.

You could ask her about her mother. Talk about fond memories.

Losing your mother is hard. This year it will be 5 years for me.

Letting her talk about her might be a good emotional outlet. It might make her cry more, but that isn’t a bad thing.

It always hurts to talk about. But I do feel better when I can share a bit of her life.

You need to have that kind of friendship where it wouldn’t be strange. If you only nod to each other at the lunch table, then perhaps just leave it.
