Quite sudden breakup after almost 16 years. He didn't love me anymore.
I made it through the first night listening to a recording of my mom reading my two favourite child books to me when I was three (these recordings were originally done on tape, but I digitalised them a few years ago and they are a bit of an auditory security blanket). That helped me through the night. Next morning, completely numb, I went to a bakery and bought something to eat, then I drove over to my best friend where I spent the whole day, crying and cursing but also laughing and most importantly talking. At the end of that, I was in a mindset where I knew this would hurt like fuck but it was better this way.
What followed were six weeks where my ex still lived in the same apartment and slept in the same room (we didn't split in a fight, it simply was over), I fled to my best friend once per week and worked from there (self employed) and spent my weekends Friday afternoon till Sunday evening at my parents. I talked a lot with friends and family, took lengthy walks and overall just tried to make it through every day.
Once my ex was gone for good, my best friend came over for three days and helped with a deep clean of the apartment and setting up some new furniture to replace what he'd taken with him. Then I started my new life.
All I can say is, it gets better, it gets easier, and in hindsight it was one of the best things that happened to me.
It was in August of 2018, after almost 16 years. In January of 2020 I met my new partner who taught me what I'd missed in all that time.
You would increase your chances to get helpful insight significantly if you'd clarify where "here" is. It's a big world with a ton of countries, and this is an international place.
Maybe this helps, it has some good examples on what the various fallacies look like, and combining that knowledge with a hunch of "something here sounds fishy" is basically what I do I think.
Discovered him around the time XCOM2 got released, because I was looking for someone to learn a trick or two from. Learned a lot from how he plays tactical games, but stayed for his calm and down to earth way (I absolutely can't stand that hyper, over-the-top crap that a ton of Let's Players do). Have also discovered the one or other gem through his videos.
Can only recommend!
Oh, and I also watch a ton of stuff on game design due to an interest into game development and recently did a blog post on my favourites there. To quickly summarise that: The Architect of Games, Design Doc, Game Maker's Toolkit, GDC, Noclip, Razbuten
Ooooh, thank you SO much for your work! I discovered Task a few months ago and it has been a tremendous help! In fact I just fired off an image build through it ^^
Thanks! 😊 I consider the plugin system one of my best ideas - it's causing me a ton of grey hair, but it also has allowed people to implement stuff that I'd never could have dreamed of and/or been able to merge in core. And I don't have to maintain all of that either 😂
Hah, that is awesome! I originally wrote it because I was annoyed of having to keep the printer tethered to my PC and pray that a Windows update would not kill my print job - that was before SD cards let alone USB sticks became the norm, so it was even worse 😅 It has since taken over my life 😬
My claim to fame is probably OctoPrint, a web interface for consumer 3d printers that I created over a decade ago now and have been maintaining ever since, since 2014 full time and since 2016 also 100% crowd funded. It's written in Python (backend) and HTML/JS (frontend) and licensed under AGPLv3.
I know this was a typo and you meant to write paramedics, but all I could think first thing I read this was "what a lucky bastard"

That really ruined the day of my partner when it came to light, he is .... was a huge Iced Earth fan for decades 😕
Yes, 40, Germany. And I actually do.

And here as well! Thanks everyone!
Awww, what a cutie! 🥰
I switched to Upptime a while ago: https://github.com/upptime/upptime
That runs fully on GitHub Actions and fit my requirements. Very much depends on what you need of course.
Christopher Odd, hands down.

Glad to hear it 😊
Got a link? That sounds amazing!
Oooooh, that sounds and looks promising! Any public repo I could follow yet? :)

Yep, foosel aka Gina Häußge, that's me ^^
I wouldn't say you have now, because I don't consider myself one, but if it makes you happy, I won't judge 😂
Yeah, that just had to be said since it's a bit of a pattern indeed 😅 I warned Daniel that I'd drop that if they got me on for that topic ^^

I would second that, I also immediately had the "mage" association.
