  • my lack of fucks about der, die, das, dem etc made it very obvious I wasn’t a native speaker.

    I employ many non native speakers and most of them struggle with their articles and are very self conscious about them. They often consider themselves bad speakers because of this and I fear they sometimes talk less because they don’t have the courage to make grammar mistakes.

    I always tell them that I don’t give a fuck about articles. Most of the time they don’t convey any meaning. You can skip them or use a generic “de” to fake any article. For me as an employer it’s more important that you practice talking, get a good vocabulary and have your times (especially Präsens, Perfekt, Futur) straight.🤷


  • Earlier this year I built something similar, although with more space for hard drives:

    I used the following components:

    Mainboard Topton N100 (AliExpress) This is actually a BKHD 1264 NAS 136,69 €
    RAM 16 GB Crucial DDR5-4800 (Mindfactory) 40,78 €
    Case Jonsbo N2 (???) 138,83 €
    PSU 300 W bequiet SFX Power 3 (Mindfactory) 50,39 €
    M.2 system drives 2 X 128 GB Patriot P.300 (Mindfactory) 25,78 €
    392,47 €

    For storage I bought used 4 TB drives from ebay for around 40 € each.

    Now the system is running 5 x 4 TB in RAID 6 as well as a 256 SATA SSD I had laying around as cache.

    The system is using 25 Watts in idle with those 5 HDDs, 1 SATA SSD and 2 M.2 SSDs.

    It’s a bit more you’ve been asking for but this option would offer you more expandability down there road.







  • Thanks for your explanation!

    Today, I read about spontaneous and responsive desire (I learned something new :)). Spontaneous desire means that you get aroused mentally first, and then your body responds. Responsive desire means that you need to get into the activity first, and only then do you become mentally aroused.

    Is this the same thing?




  • Brandon Sanderson writes amazingly rich fantasy stories an created wild lore heavy worlds in his books. But his books are also behemoths with thousands upon thousands of pages that require some serious time and commitment to read. Maybe not the best for beginners to start getting into fiction.

    I’d recommend the Harry Potter books because they start easy and get more mature with each book. Also the story and lore is widely known and liked by a lot of people.


  • This is actually a pretty hard question. At first I couldn’t think of any show but the more I thought about it the more came to my mind.

    I narrowed it down to these three:

    • MAS*H
    • Hogan’s Heroes
    • Dinosaurs

    Not because I’m so old but because they where first aired in my home country in the early and mid nineties when I was at my granny’s place a lot of afternoons.

    Later I moved town, kinda lost touch to my grandma and wasn’t really there when she got very old and then died.

    Looking back it’s really sad that I wasn’t there for someone who spend a whole lot of my childhood with me and in fact was always there for me.
