Ametica is a continent, not a country.
No need to mute a whole continent, home of 35 nations registered at the UN.
A larger diversity in culture, politics and economics than e.g. you find among the nations in Europe.
And yet people throw this multitude of nations into one big bag? Confuse a large country with all of the continent? It is like talking of "Europe" and only meaning "Greece" (originator of the name). Or "Germany" (largest economy).
Or the other way around: if a German or Greek would equal his country with the whole (sub)continent... we'd correctly point this out as hybris. Or nationalism.
So: Let's not mute America! America != USA
Actually let's not mute anything if our reasoning capabilities are weak insofar as we don't even use terms that clearly distinguishes entities.

If you adopt German words, mind of do it correctly.
We capitalize nouns, so it's Angst. While or long concatenatef nouns madness *) makes reading more difficult, capitalizing them maybe it a bit easier.
And we almost never use "tz" where a "z" will do (except in a few surnames) So it's Weltschmerz.
*) like Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftskapitänsanwärterlehrgang

If the network is big enough and changes often enough, then yes.
Might also include security things, like selecting installing and maintaining VON, preventing, defining gear update procedures (you probably don't want to update all your routers at once if the vendor was again sloppy and introduced bugs).
The bureaucracy of keeping an inventory of all your gear (and links) isn't easy. Even if you use things like Nagios etc.
Hey, and even the CLI of a typical Cisco gear is so overcomplicated that you need to study weeks to get it.
So yes, every day.
That's why I never aimed to be one. Especially as they either work shifts or are on standby. I value my regular sleep.

You fell into a thinking two.
Just because some of Islam is abhorrent doesn't mean that Likud/Ring extremist governed Israel is good.
The world is large, and there's certainly room for more than one entity that sees personal gain from escalation.
Can it be that you are US American? Now often than not they only thought in 0% as nd is 100% categories, completely ignoring that there are an infinite number of values in between. But for some reason many of them longed for as simple world, where things are either good or bad. However, few things are binary.
I stand with what I said: the culture in the tale isn't like current Israel, not at all. And the real existing threat that Israel faces and in helped create / sustain doesn't change that at all.

> That's Israel in the Middle East.
Nah, that take doesn't be describe Israel.
It doesn't contain the constant aggression and micro-aggression of it. Like putting up settler towns in occupied areas, separating farmer's from their friends by huge walls, depriving old families by their water Rights, just sitting with drones and rockets at people (even if they aren't terrorists at all, r.g. setting up kitchens), making over 80% of a population homeless and replaced persons, demolishing tons of private dwellings.
And the last isn't even complete.
I mean, even back in the days of Golda Meir this country declined a piece offer from Egypt. And while I don't like at all that the PLO made one of their terrorists their boss (which was then worldwide accepted) .... Israel did the same with Menachem Begin.
And before you call me antisemitic: Hannah Arendt and Albert Einstein already said that Israel is racist. And will get even worse.
Israel has accumulated so far a whopping 103 cases of failing to follow UN resolutions.
I doubt that the pyramid people in your take are as cold, racist and criminal.

This Tuya cloud lockin is ridiculous, as is the 25000 upfront cost for better plans. I guess Tyya is mostly a reseller towards tiny chinese manufacturers???
When I switch over to electrical heating, I'd probably do it with a split AC that can also heat. They are basically heat pumps, so you use 1 kW of electric power and get 3.5 kW of heat energy. People in far more colder climates than Germany use them in the winter (e.g. in Finland), so good ones are even usable in winter. And they warm the air, so w.hen you turn them on, the effect in the room is immediate.
A german youtuber (Andreas Schmitz) made several videos on this, e.g. this one https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wB8rq-D9PAQ - he also checked if the warm air flow would be uncomfortable to him, which it was not.
Best of all: these split climate devices are controlled via infrared, which you can also operate from #HomeAssistant ... either with an ESP32 with IR LED or with some prebuilt 16 € device from Aliexpress.
