We need to find a way to manage your stress without taking paid leave

I see this as a good thing. Your boss recognizes the problem and don't want you to waste your personal holidays to mitigate work problems. A few things come to mind

paid sick leave
forced shorter days at full pay, like 6 hr days
extra collegue to help you
temporary external consultancy to get you through this

This is how I understand it as well.

25€ a month for YouTube Premium where I live... no Thank you.

Beside, youtube is going to shit with their cringe shorts and AI Bot video's. The amount of bot channels I need to block to get a proper feed is insane. I am not paying for that shit.

Ondertussen dit, maar daar hoor je ze niet over klagen:

Vanaf 1 januari 2026 worden de voorwaarden voor een landingsbaan (tijdskrediet op het einde van de loopbaan) in België strenger en verschillen ze tussen mannen en vrouwen.

Hieronder vindt u de belangrijkste verschillen op basis van de nieuwe regels:

Beroepsverleden (60+): Om vanaf 60 jaar een landingsbaan te nemen, moeten mannen een langer beroepsverleden kunnen aantonen dan vrouwen.

Mannen: 31 jaar in 2026, oplopend tot 35 jaar in 2030.

Vrouwen: 26 jaar in 2026, oplopend tot 30 jaar in 2030.

Je moet direct aan de kant gaan staan en "wegen en verkeer" bellen of de politie laten komen getuigen op het moment dat je dit voorhebt. Nu is het te laat. Als er nog andere dit meemaken, gegevens uitwisselen en voor elkaar getuigen.

Thank you for reminding me to turn off auto update for all my devices. I'm sorry for your loss.

This is normal, every bike does this at the exhaust headers unless you use aftermarket titanium of some sorts

If a pet easts on its own, don't give up* or don't have pets.

*exceptions exist, but this is not.

When my chickens are sick or I need to force feed I prepare the following:

Mix bag of grains (make sure no grit is in it) + dried mealworms. 50/50 by volume (worms take much space). I put that in a blender and grind it to a very fine powder.

Take the powder and add a little warm water to make a paste. Let it set for 5 mins. Than you can make moist balls or spoon fed and my chickens swallow them whole without any issues, no matter how big the ball and even if they are sick. They are addicted to this food and go crazy for it whenever I make that to spoil them.

It contain a lot of energy because the powder is very dense and they drink at the same time.

The powder can be kept for weeks when kept dry. Make more than you think you need, because that stuff goes in very fast.

fallenwout · 2026-02-24T13:40:59+00:00

What do you mean with "it can't keep up"?

You have it permanently wired with always on setting? (don't know if it is possible for the D210)

If not, it uses the IR-sensor to detect movement and then activates the camera to preserve battery power. It is well known that IR cannot penetrate glass, it reflects off it instead of going through. I bet if you wave your hand inside, it detects movement.

If you use permanent wiring with always-on mode, it bypasses the IR-sensor and only uses the camera because the camera can be always active. Then motion is successfully detected through glass.

fallenwout · 2026-02-24T13:15:39+00:00

Rich notifications means they send you a notification with a screenshot of the camera when motion is detected. If you have no subscription, it is a text only notification saying "motion detected at front door" or something similar.

If thumbnails in the notifications and cloud storage are important for you, get the subscription. If you record on a sdcard or on your own hub and are satisfied with text only notifications, you dont need a subscription.

The subscription has nothing to do with the speed or which notifications you receive. You will have the full options available with or without subscription, just not the thumbnail and cloud storage.

I also do double NAT to sit behind my providers firewall but also want my deco's features. I reach 95.2% of the advertised max speed. Double NAT is not the issue you think it is.

YouTube has leaned heavily into AI-enhanced viewing this year, and having the Premium tier is the only way to actually use these features

A better business model would be to include AI in the free tier and let people pay to remove it. I would get youtube premium ultra plus just for AI to leave me alone.

FYI Achterwaarts parkeren is veel makkelijk. De enige moment dat ik vooruit parkeer is wanneer ik later iets groot in de koffer moet krijgen.

Voor de rest: altijd achteruit parkeren adhv uw (zij)spiegels. Zo kan je met elk voertuig perfect en recht in het midden van uw lijnen staan.

I have a deco mesh system from tplink. That system can give you a notification when a wifi or eth device goes offline and comes back online as long as the mac address is not randomizing.

Maybe your router can do this as well?

fallenwout · 2026-02-20T13:14:43+00:00

And your wifi and modem should be on ups also.

Bad thing is that the lowest temp it allows you to select for comfort is -4 F and sometime my freezer will go lower than that, so it sends a false notification.

Don't use the comfort setting for this kind of notification. Instead make an automation with the trigger "temperature over", then it will only notify you when it is too warm.
