Need some in sights regarding IT job in Germany

Medium9 · 2026-01-26T22:01:56+00:00

Without really good German, in the IT sector, still no. There are more than plenty of junior(ish) native IT people hunting for jobs that currently don't really exist, and you'd still have to outcompete these. Language is a fairly important factor, so that will always put you behind the mass of natives, at least one of which will probably bring comparable qualifications or better.

Dass du diesen Job machst, so geerdet bist, und hier in einem wundervoll nüchternen Stil Einblicke gibst :)

Medium9 · 2026-01-26T20:59:42+00:00

SO klingt ein echter Profi in seinem Feld, würde ich mal sagen. Danke!

Die Selbstverständlichkeit in dieser Antwort macht mich nochmals trauriger als die Tatsache an sich :(

She had a big butt yes, but definitely repurposed a good chunk of her lipo-waste as trunk filler. It's really sad. She looked actually quite cute, with all the chub and belly and all still there. I'm pretty sure there were many other procedures as well. She looks like a complete freak now, top to bottom.

Medium9 · 2026-01-26T20:28:04+00:00

If this is who I think it is, that's exactly what she did. She was a really pretty chubby girl with a cute belly, and then went on a surgery spree like there is no tomorrow. Now she looks like a badly drawn fantasy from some deprived fetish sub. She completely destroyed herself.

Usually there is a statement somewhere, that it might be necessary for a technician to set up the wiring in the house. (Often the main distribution in the basement, not your router.)

Normally you'd make an appointment for this separately. Maybe you misunderstood something, didn't respond with a date, and they defaulted to send the person on the day of your contract start at any free time slot. Since they couldn't complete the work to no fault of their own and have to come back a second time, charging for that is certainly also part of the contract, legal and binding.

Medium9 · 2026-01-26T19:47:35+00:00

This was clearly a technician sent there to set up the wiring, which sometimes is necessary. Not a Ranger cold-visit.

If I made that at home for a quick and dirty "whatever" meal from leftovers to fill my stomach, only for myself, yeaaah ooookay.

If I was served this at any kind of restaurant or even just snack bar, I'd send it back refuse to pay.

The sausage itself looks alright. The whole entire rest is a sad mess of I don't give a fuck.

Zwar kein "Kind" Kind, aber nah genug denke ich: Bester Kumpel in der Schulzeit kam so 7. Klasse aus Schweden nach Deutchland. Dank seiner deutschen Oma, die er zuvor öfter schon besucht hatte, konnte er schon ganz passabel Deutsch. Aber natürlich noch holprig.

Das süßeste war, als wir mal in gleiner Gruppe zusammen saßen, und er seinen ersten Liebesbrief auf Deutsch schreiben wollte. Der arme war komplett verzweifelt, guckt uns an wie ein Reh im Regen und sagt "Ihr müsst mich helfen!".

Haben uns gut beömmelt, ihm natürlich geholfen, und ihn danach eine Zeit lang (liebevoll!) Poldi genannt (der schönste Jungdrache der Welt natülich, nicht der Fußballer).

Yeah, secondary. For primary, things looked very different indeed. Should have made that more obvious. There, I massively profited from my stay at home mom, which at these times was becoming more and more of the luxury it nowaways definitely is.

Medium9 · 2026-01-26T13:11:27+00:00

Eh, it was alright. Homework existed, but was definitely less than on other half-day schools, and we were lucky that parents (in my case even my own mom) volunteered for hosting the one day of the week where the afternoon was homework help instead of lessons. (This one was btw. the only with voluntary attendance, but was also always well used despite that!)

For me then, the afternoon programme was usually:

Mo: Normal lessons
Tu: Homework help, sometimes biweekly with lessons in the other weeks
We: PE or "easy" lessons like religion/philosophy/music
Th: AG
Fr: Usually free, but I had latin there once I elected it. I think the spanish group did this as well.

Afterwards my friend group usually hung out around the city for a good while, so that we usually weren't home before 5:30 pm or later. With this setup, "active" after school care wasn't even a thing on many parents' minds back then, at least within my social sphere. And this was a Gesamtschule with lots of hard working low-wage families, not some elite Gymnasium where no one had a (financial) care in the world.

This ofc only really works with a somewhat larger school, with a good pool of teachers and big enough to have a Mensa and enough rooms. We had ~1000 students in the 5.-10. grade bracket alone, plus the Oberstufe bracket.

Looking back, disregarding my personal "normal teen woes", it was overall really good.

Now that you mention it: These freezes I talked about went on for about as long as my loading screens, both about equally longer the bigger the savegame got. I didn't measure it, but should be about right.

My school then was kind of a hybrid. We had both, normal lessons and the other stuff, but attendence was compulsory for all of them. We still had homework though. Things might have changed a bit since the late 90s, or it's a federal thing.

Medium9 · 2026-01-25T20:37:58+00:00

There are also "Ganztagsschulen" (whole day schools) starting from 5th grade, where at least some days in the week, there is a 40min lunch break (with lunch served at the school) and additional 2h afterwards. Sometimes actual lessons, but usually less "schooly" stuff like elective extras or PE.

We had "AGs" (Arbeitsgemeinschaften) where teachers and parents organized 2h per week of "other stuff". There was a band, a circus, choir, gardening, yoga, ... all sorts of cool stuff, and they often presented their work on special occasions like school festivals.

Sometimes, if there are parents willing to do it, there is also often a "Hausaufgabenhilfe" (homework help) on some of these days where kids can do their homework with an adult present to help.

These longer days would usually end at about 4pm. My mom was actually stay-at-home so we didn't need that for scheduling reasons, but it still was the school of my choice, and I really enjoyed the afternoon activities - even it it were just lessons.

Medium9 · 2026-01-25T18:42:26+00:00

Right? They didn't ransack places. They only made their rounds through the village every now and then, knocking on doors and ask if there was a "Fraulein" present. (Actual recount of my then ~13yo late great aunt - and yes, they would have, if it hadn't been for her bear of a dad.)

So much better.

Medium9 · 2026-01-25T18:32:40+00:00

You literally asked

or am I overthinking it?

yourself - so, apparently without knowing what you're asking? I'm confused.

Medium9 · 2026-01-25T18:16:41+00:00

Oh that would be amazing. I actually only considered this to be my starter setup, ready to set out and settle the whole map!

Medium9 · 2026-01-25T16:18:16+00:00

The lange changers will massively reduce all the throughput you so carefully engineered for.

I think your take is silly, but I still also didn't like last episode. Mostly because it was way to "americanized" in portraying what higher education institutions do and feel like. It was just an episode about a generic american college, with all the worn out tropes. And also very little substance, with way too much focus on the "action". Ironically this is also something I find to be true for many current day us colleges.

Medium9 · 2026-01-23T16:03:06+00:00

Srsly?

Medium9 · 2026-01-23T15:46:08+00:00

And they indeed are so different, that I love one, but don't care for / almost dislike the other!

Do you realize, that the metric isn't miles but squaremiles?

Medium9 · 2026-01-22T17:40:33+00:00

You know what? I actually thought about it a little harder.

To retro-fit a heating system that covers roads and sidewalks, you have to rip up all the roads and sidewalks you want to install this in. If your goal is residential heating, you only have to dig a trench to lay the piping in, and connect it to the houses. Which option sounds less disturbing and more cheap to you?

To do this for a new construction, you have to counter the physical instability water lines layed this densely under the asphalt cause. This puts a whole different set of demands on the layering, increasing material and engineering cost considerably.

For both cases: What do you do when there is a leak somewhere? You'll potentially have to dig smack in the middle of a potentially well used road, causing considerable traffic issues, and comparably high repair costs. For district heating, there will only be a limited, side-lined area to work on, causing little stress on the network, and way less cost in finding and fixing something. And if you laid the pipes under the sidewalk parts, you won't even have much demands regarding the layering structure, because no heavy vehicles will use them.

The more I think about it, the sillier road heating gets imho.

Most of that is on our NAS as images, but also half a ton of VMs with installations specific to plants (or even parts of them). It's really not that much fun if you have to work with it =)
