Usenet is still one of the best sources when it comes to german media.

Also audiobooks.

Geeile aktion

Minute 43 für all diejenigen die nur kurz zeit für den löschen-part haben

Pfffft

Giggled, thanks! :D

Since usenet and direct download are a lot more popular than torrent in germany - it might possibly be one of those.

Well yes, that could happen. I guess that would freak the lady the fuck out… well at least she got an nickname that definitly not a human name :D

I mostly use my dog as a way to introduce that I am near and mean no harm to anyone not expecting someone following the same path (mostly rather long streched bike&pedestrian roads with no exit but with park benches and geen patches for dogs and so on).

Simply by saying “Dogs Name, are you coming sweety?”.

Announces that I am nearby with a doggy and by no means any poser that wants to appear scary.

At dark day times I mostly have a flashlight with me to shine on my dog and whatever she is currently sniffing (or sneakingly trying to eat…). Which has the sideeffect of her being better visible to others. (She’s a bigger dog with black fur - so some people would be scared of her anyhow. Especially in the dark if there is a barely visible big dog. Which is why I hope to make people not that uncomfortable by speaking softly and shining light on her. (And of couse because bicicle riders need to be able to see her, to not run her over))

Get what you are trying to say but both are still encrypted. They simply aren’t end to end encrypted. So the messages are private. Until obviously the company servers get hacked or police raided and the keys to the encryption get stolen. You are protected against this in E2E encryption. True.

Ii guess telegram once was the alternative to whatsapp, then made maany more featutes abailable in fast time paces which led to another bunch of migrators.

Now noone wants to move away because why? For the usual end user there is no negative to them.

I am fully on your side and am using signal and matrix and try to migrate as many people as possible but its hard.

Try

• scenenzbs(dot)com
• or
• drunkenslug

(First one is better.) To get .nzb files. Then use a Usenet Access Provider. Those save all files shared via usenet over a predefined time period. – though some archive different usenet publications than others. Simply differs by what servers they connect to afaik.

Not entirely sure on the architectural work here but thats the best you’ll get from me in a minuite.

Search for diffetent providers. Check the link for them. Maybe the available payment methods might be worth a look.

Eweka supports paypal i think, but not sure on this one.

For automation you will need an api access to the sites from the bulletpoints above – the free access gives very limited access via api. Which is why automation tools fail on a free account to automatically download new episodes .nzb files from them.

Usenet for german stuff. Forget about torrents when searching in german.

You go DDL or Usenet. DDL is goof in terms of stuff available but bad in terms of automation.

Usenet is good in both.

Use this to get yourself familiar:

Found in here on the linked pages down in the list. https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/

https://shakil-shahadat.github.io/awesome-piracy/#usenet

Didnt take that much time to search. Maybe the megathread itself also has some additional pages about the usenet.

Feel ya.

Always have to contain my laughter when sitting on the company shitter and people entering the stall next to me, just to unleash hell into the innocent opening beneith them.

Don’t know why but the earth shattering sound of the musical orchestra some people give out for free on the shitter is amazingly amusing to me. :3

For cool features: xWiki

For conveniance in setting up: if you got a synology, use the synology notes app.

You are welcome!

Yepp multiple users is a whole different but also great area.

Using the work apps feature thingy you wont have to switch profiles and push messages are more readily available (not as much delayed as if you chose to use a guest profile).

Well then, lemme give you something more specific to look into:

Most Android Phones kinda hide the option to turn the Work-Profile on. But it is implemented at the core of android and should really be available on any android device thats from the last 5 years.

Once you turn it on once you will be always able to see it. And you will also get one of those buttons available in your notification center. Just like those, that turn on and off your Wifi - this one will turn on your work profile. Or off - if Off, alllll the apps installed in the work profile will be disabled completely until you enable the work profile again.

Very handy for splitting private and work stuff - since you can just turn off work profile when you walk out of the office and wont be bothered anymore.

Lets get to the turnings thing on part:

You simply need one app to activate the work profile.

“Shelter” –> this app is not on the google playstore.

This app is in the F-Droid Store. Since this is also a new thing lemme explain this real quick. F-Droid is an store just like Google Play Store. You can download and install apps from there. It comes as an app for your device, or you can just simply browse it in the webbrowser and download the apps you want from it from there. The F-Droid Store is well known in the Opem Source Community and is the Go-To Place if you want privacy respecting apps. - I am saying this to make sure you can trust this new and to you unknown store.

Soooo. Back to the topic. Download either the complete F-Droid Store and in this app then search for the “Shelter” app - or simply download the shelter app once from the Website of F-Droid directly. Keep in mind if you go with the downloading F-Droid route: on its first launch, F-Droid will take ~30 secs to update its repositories and you wont find any apps in the search menu. So let it stay put for a few secs before starting your search.

To make it as less of a hassle as possible ill go forward and describe the route where we will install the app directly from the website.

1. Go here: https://f-droid.org/packages/net.typeblog.shelter/
2. Click download F-Droid (for the full F-Droid Route)
3. Or simply download “Shelter” directly by looking furhter down at the latest App Versions. Scroll down one of the paragraphs until you see the Linked Text “Download APK” (or similar - i have the UI on german, so idk what exactly the text will be. Just look for “APK”)
4. Once its downlaoding and you have made sure your browser actually downloads it (chrome warns you about downloading APKs)
5. Click the install/open button on the just downloaded APK.
6. It will say that the setting for enabling app installation from untrusted sources is turned off right now - and the reason why it cannot be installed.
7. Go to your system settings and search for “sources” – it should get you right to this exact setting. Turn it on/enable it.
8. Go back to your browser and click install again. Then you will be prompted/asked if you want to enable, that your Browser is capable of installing APPS. Accept that – later you can disable both of those settings again. On this path we only need them for the initial installation.
9. The app should be installed now.
10. Search for the “Shelter” app in your app menu and open it.
11. It will prompt you lots of stuff and explain many things. Read through them. It wont take long but will make you understand how it works better.
12. Once set up - look for the play store app in the work profile. If you cant find it - use the Shelter app to clone apps from your personal profile to the work profile - such ass the playstore, or simply install the Cisco app once in normal profile and clone it over to work. Then delete it again from the normal profile. Though i would prefer getting the playstore and getting cisco directly from there - since this way you will auto-recieve updates and such.
13. Learn to use work apps and how to disable them (look for the previously mentioned toggle in your notification center - you might have to edit this zone to find the button hidden under those not displayed by default)
14. At this point you can install your apps for your work profile and disable your browser from being allowed to install apps and disabling the “apps from third party sources” option all together. (Though this one only, if you didnt choose the Full F-Droid installlation path. If you chose the full install path, this option will be neccesary for F-Droid to install updates in the future)

I hope this helps ya!

Tbh. Its highly unlikely that you will face anything that disrupts business and can prove it being from this machine.

Even if you get hit by a trojan that encrypts everything: if you have AV on clients and servers and update their databases regularely, noone could or would blame a dude thats 3 months in the job for it. I mean you have no prior experience. Thats also why i would not try to escelate it further. You will get fucked by management if you fall in the back of a higher ranking position. They dont appreciate people calling stuff like this out. Especially in small family owned businesses. Trust me. I’ve been there.

You will most likely find even more hazards in the future. If it gets worse, make a list. If you can, put in the CVE Codes and their explanation about the issue and the potential risks.

Put it in a monthly report-email regarding IT Topics. Also put different stuff in there, so you dont only appear to be whining about the system that they obviously have been taking care of in a lackluster way. This way you show that you are doing your job for the case that there might actually be a hazard and if they ask, you can simply point to your monthly report and say you did your best and did not get enough ressources/coworkers/ or the so very much needed new Firewall Appliance.

In terms of futur vision: write up your daily systems you work with. I’ll make some examples for your Resume:

• Config- and Patchmanagement of
• ~ 30 Windows 10 clients via WSUS and SCCM
• ~ 10 Windows Server 2019 Systems via WSUS
• ~ A Veeam/Synology/In-House Built Backup Solition
• Ubiquiti Firewall and AP Solitions
• Management of Microsoft SQL/Oracle/MariaDB Database Replications
• Management of an small scaled AD Environment with ~ 80 self created Objects
• GPO Policy Management
• Management of a Microsoft Exchange Sever Cluster
• …

And so on.

Also make a second list with projects, what your role in them was (most likely project lead), and what situation you had and the target. Also in which timeframe you are working on it (March/2024 - Today)

Don’t tell anybody that you are keeping your eyes out for a new job. Wait till you have landed a new job with administration work (dont do First-Layer Support Jobs. They get you stuck on your career ladder)

Also have a look at job portals like Kununu and check Ratings of companies. Since you are already in a kind of dispute with your boss I would suggest to not leave a review of your current workplace, whilst you still work there. Attention would be immediately brought to your end.

Also: if you are bad at creating a resume. Use an online builder. Job portals offer them. Be advised though, recruiters will already call the number that you type in there even before you are done typing your resume. rxResume is and FOSS Resume Builder. Can be selfhost or simply used by the Publicly hosted variant.
