  • But then how can we monitize our gamers if we can’t run at the kernel level and do whatever we want?

    We’re selling games at an overpriced rate and putting tons of gambling and Mtx in our games. But this is unsustainable. We’ll go bankrupt at this rate! Just last week we had a meeting with the CEO complaining he couldn’t buy his fifth luxury boat because he had spent that years bonus on his 2nd aircraft. He said heads might start to roll at this rate to keep the company float. Where are we supposed to find the money to index 5% on the wages.

    Some upper manager somewhere. Probably



  • Best way I can think of to promote carpooling is kind of what colruyt tried.

    Employee bus that goes down the main highway ( Belgium ). It has WiFi and you csn keep working on your way home. Every minute worked counts.

    You’ll just need a bigger carpark by the highway. 30 minutes delay? It’s not lost time. Still want to use your car? Sure. But you’ll work longer and have to drive home afterwards.

    I am not a traffic expert. The approach might be flawed. But it seems like a step in the right direction.

    At least it’s better than complaining about overcrowded busses and trains who are delayed again. And while it might not solve the issue, If you can get a 10 people per bus. It should start adding up eventually. The incentive to take public transport doesn’t disappear with the disappearance of traffic jams. Its an alternative to sitting longer in the office and being home later.

    I think colruyt did something like this for a while? https://reset.vlaanderen/2017/09/01/kantoorbus/

    Maybe its something you can book a seat on and should be scheduled on a larger scale than just 1 company.

    One can dream I suppose. Hell will freeze over when most companies will “trust” their employees enough to work on the bus though.


  • I’m in a similar boat. 45m drive by car. 2h using PT. Including a 30 minute walk for the last bit to my office. This doesn’t include waiting for busses or trains.

    Realistically it’d be 2.5h without delays. And that’s just one way. After that I’m expected to work for 8h and do it again.

    So if i leave at 7am, +5h+8h +30minute lunch break I’d be home by …8.30pm?

    And that is hoping the connections line up after work… Cycling isn’t really an option as there’s no shower in the workplace. And knowing corps I’m pretty sure they won’t appreciate people charging their electric bike battery in the office for free.

    RIP work-life balance using PT. And I already feel like it’s shit.

    Though I do try to use the train when I can. Even though it ain’t cheap either…





  • In Belgium There’s a social security system that pays your wage when you’re sick up a certain maximum. The first month(4 weeks) you get sick is fully paid by the employer. After that you get paid by social security for 60% of your wage up until a certain maximum.

    If you are absent from work for 8 months ( cancer, surgery, burn out, … ) you would be paid for every day you are absent, albeit less after a month.

    While sick you are also protected from being fired. So employers can’t fire you because you’re out fighting cancer. It is mostly adhered to. If an employer would fire somebody who got cancer or because they got a burn-out/depression I’d probably find a different employer.

    It’s a good system, but with its own challenges ( abuse ). I honestly can’t imagine having a fixed amount of paid sick days.

    your employer can always “challenge” your sickness by sending a company physician, which they’d have to pay for. Some companies do it per definition, others never, some only when they suspect abuse.








  • There’s also the option of setting up a cloudflare tunnel and only exposing immich over that tunnel. The HTTPS certificate is handled by cloudflare and you’d need to use the cloudflare DNS name servers as your domains name servers.

    Note that the means cloudflare will proxy to you and essentially become a man-in-the-middle. You – HTTPS --> cloudflare --http–> homelab-immich. The connection between you and cloudflare could be encrypted as well, but cloudflare remains the man-in-the-middle and can see all data that passes by.
