I quit cold turkey about two years ago. It wasn't enjoyable at all, as I felt dizzy and very unproductive for weeks. I was also suffering from prolonged headaches and slept two hours more per night than usual. The upside of this though

OP mentions they are a coffee drinker, and use caffeine a lot to fight tiredness and brainfog. While the suggested methods to refocus are great, maybe there is some improvement potential by looking at root causes? As a former heavy coffee c

The fallacy is that organizations as a whole can only do so many different things efficiently. Capital allocation becomes less efficient if a single hierarchically structured entity has to decide on how and where to invest its capital, comp

Not really? Here is a listing in Germany for 1246 EUR (including VAT), which is not cheap but substantially lower than 1500 EUR: https://www.galaxus.de/de/s1/product/apple-macbook-air-2022-...

It sounds like these problems are related to their end-user backup solution - can't comment on that as I've never used it. However, when referring to Backblaze, I think most people here refer to their nice (and cheap) S3-like clou

I generally agree with you. I believe it is all about the culture and by extension the systems which have evolved over time to govern the political process. I took objection however with "people do not fall prey so easily to misinforma

The Swiss are not smarter than others. We just have a system that keeps the misinformation by all parties in a relative equilibrium.

Swiss here. This is true. Buy an expensive watch and want to pay with credit card? We'll need to verify name and address, apologies Sir! Have a bag of cash? No questions asked, have a nice day!

I don't think this is true. There were massive investments into the Ticino regional rail network over the last 10-20 years, partially driven by the NEAT extension, which shortened travel times between regional centers (Lugano - Locarno

That's all correct. In addition, you can get almost the same convencience without purchasing an expensive GA by using the EasyRide feature [1]. No more worrying about buying and choosing the right ticket. [1] https://www.sbb

Storagebox is a nice service, but what I really love with Hetzner is their auction of used dedicated servers ("Serverbörse") at https://www.hetzner.com/sb .

My home server runs Nixos, which is an amazing server operating system: every service is configured in code and fully versioned. I also use this server for development (via SSH), but while Nixos can be used for development, it's relati

Not in Switzerland. Bank accounts and salary information are not accessible to either level of government (communal, cantonal, federal), due to strong privacy legislation and a traditional distrust for central data collection and authority.

There are ways to implement such a scheme in a way that does not increase the overall tax quota, by either reducing other taxes (VAT, income tax) or directly giving back to the people (tax credits). One key argument of opponents of the prop

I built knut ( https://github.com/sboehler/knut ), a personal finance CLI tool. It is similar in terms of use cases to ledger and beancount, but focused on getting multi-currency and valuation right.

The advantage of text-based accounting is that files can be version controlled, just like software. I am using git and commit whenever I have a consistent state, as verified by (lots of) balance assertions. In some sense, git commits are &q

I am not aware of any that does. With modern hardware, and in a personal finance context (a few transactions per day), it is unlikely you will have too much data to handle. The algorithm to compute a balance is O(n) with the number of trans
