Thanks,welcome to the club! It can be a bit "tricky" at times (and I use a container manager,cloudron, meanwhile as I got too deep into the rabbit hole and now host too many things to maintain them myself) but once you get it set up it's rock solid.

And I am really optimistic for Element X/Matrix 2.0.

It's a great standard.

That's why I am so happy that I switched to Matrix - selfhosted with Signal and WhatsApp Bridges(amongst others) and now I only need to keep one App on our mobiles, Notebooks,desktop,etc. but I can still communicate with everyone. (we have have a few mixed groups now)

Yeah,US training is a joke,tbh. Some of the best Emergency medical services are in the US. But most services are sadly an utter joke and the basic qualification necessary to respond to emergency calls wouldn't be sufficient to drive people between nursing homes in most other countries.

In comparison:

• Australia: B.sc (3.5 years)
• UK: EMT(12-18 Month),mostly Paramedic (B.sc),though
• Germany: Paramedic (3 year apprenticeship) (supported by Physicans)
• Switzerland: Paramedic (3 years) (supported by Physicans)

Hahaha, my second long term girlfriend was a bit...naive... tbh... We've been naked many times, but when we first went to a public sauna(which is textile-free here)she asked me exactly that.

Maybe it was the sagging old man's balls or something. But she was somewhat shocked.

It depends on the type of "nursing home" - in a facility catering for more mobile clients, yes, there are some benefits from it and there are actually some good studies on it. The major obstacle is the reduced joint mobility (Arthritis of the fingers) and reduced reaction times. Therefore it would be paramount to use adapted control methods and adapted games.

In a nursing home that has a clientbase focused on the nursing aspect it's far more difficult - most clients will be "too far gone" for most aspects of gaming with a regular PC,but there are some studies using adapted devices and therapists to activate patients ressources.

EMS structure is highly heterogeneous. Where are you from?

Same with healthcare. I am a paramedic by trade, was the youngest in my class, youngest commander, went to work around the world, from the European Alps to the African jungle to Australian outback.

It was quite a journey.

But sadly I had to recognise that I am not cut out of the wood that is required to survive in today's healthcare systems in industrial nations. It made me profoundly hate humans and even more sick humans. I dread every single day I still have to work with patients. Especially awake patients. I can't handle them anymore. Don't get me wrong. I am still giving 100%, sometimes more - and I don't judge,like some other colleagues do over the years. I don't care if you are a frequent flyer, a drunk or a murderer - I will give everything and be very nice to you. But inside me? I burn out.

It's not that I can't work with the misery,with things I've seen. It's just that I can't work with people and the system they are part of anymore.I am now lucky enough to mostly be "off the road" in a cushy,self employed, desk job. But still, I can't fully leave healthcare,as I invested to much. And so I will torture myself again.

In less than 5 hours my alarm clock is going off for another shift. And I am dreading the moment it will.

Fuck.

Which country are you from?

EMS/Ambulance workers

Funnily enough: I am a paramedic with special training in phlebotomy, worked in anaesthesia and did roughly 10.000 blood draws and iV lines in my life.

I am still having a hard time if someone else draws blood from me - I got accustomed to it due to chronic diseases that required a lot of blood being drawn. But: I can without any problem draw my own blood. It's a bit complicated with only one arm,but I can do that.

(And if you want to put a needle anywhere else beside a vein and a intramuscular vaccination and I need full sedation)

Prosopagnosia is the name of the cognitive disorder you likely have.

That's actually a cognitive disorder called Prosopagnosia.

And welcome to the club - I had a stroke and while luckily all major deficits returned to normal with timely treatment, I developed prosopagnosia.

It's fairly freaky at times. While it's not my main job anymore I still work as a paramedic occasionally - and when I get a massive trauma at three o'clock in the morning I can hand it over in the ED to the full resus team with every detail without looking into my notes once. But if they ask me for a name I need an ID card or my notes.

Paramedic here who worked a lot with toxicology patients: You are entirely right.

It's always horrific.

Ikea is hiring people for it's Robolox branch. But generally Chat moderation(aka being a fake chat partner in the more,well, infamous partner seeking platforms) is an option, same goes for normal phone support/callcenter work.

Fiverr is an idea, there are similar jobs as well.

Yeah,I know the St. George part is safe,and I am fairly sure the missus knows as well - we have done more dangerous shit in the past. But there is always a difference between knowing and feeling. So we have to wait.Hopefully this nightmare is over soon and the Putler defeated fully.

Lol. Didn't know about Ovid. Another reason to hate the guy.

Tbh, I stayed at efforie, a bit further south.Also absolutely lovely place.

I had a trip to Constanta and the danube delta scheduled... But then Covid happened and the war - sadly there is zero chance to persuade the wife to go to the Delta while the Ukrainian side is under fire.

Anyway, I will be back. (I live close to the beginning of the Danube and that would be fairly interesting to see the end. Additionally we are often in the Delta of the Po which is quite similar - and we love it there)

Funny enough for me it was also a Romanian town - Constanta.

Actually a fairly nice city with even nicer surroundings.

Nice place.

Not Radius,Samba. But yes. In theory the Samba server can even run on a VM on the same PC(but that makes it really messy). Raspi or similar is far easier.

Univention offers a ready made distro for that,but not for ARM, though.

As someone who regularly gets a fucking gramm of them iV.... Yeah, don't. It's not pretty.

Doesn't your voting system do that anyway?
