  • How quick could you pick it up? And how does it handle one config for different devices (due to different hardware(fstab/cryptsetup differences), propietary/non-mainlined drivers?

    I have been thinking about switching because I’d love a reproduciable system but fear it would take some of that flexibility I rely on (I’ve had some issues with ftstab/cryptsetup and initramfs customizations on the fedora atomic base of bazzite on my steamdeck).

  • I doubt home inspections would fly with German law. Unpaid overtime is legal as long as the legal limits wrt to total working time and minimum wage are met (which they will if you are making 80k…). Requiring the home office to be secured seems legal depending on the working environment (does it also need to be secured outside of working hours?).

    They can require work on weekends and holidays with no notice

    Working weakends or Holidays can be legal depending on the work . No notice seems illegal (unless they are paying you to be on call).

    There isn’t a single mention to remote working on the contract

    This is a red flag, there is no obligation for employers to enable remote work, so if it’s not in the contract you don’t have anything to fall back on. This might be especially problematic for working from outside of the EU.

    They can relocate me to any place with a 2 months notice

    If it is really that broad that is probably unenforcable.

    Take all of this with a grain of salt, I am not a lawyer.

    Honestly, depending on how much you like the position otherwise and how much you need the job, I’d tell them to change the contract (esp. the homeoffice clause) or you’re out and then just walk if they don’t.

  • Also, I wouldn’t shy from keeping the database on the same, fast storage as the OS, even if that’s flash. Move to an external SSD when you can. HDDs have such long seek times.

    Very much true. I installed Immich on my dads Synology for him and compared to my own setup at home the speeds are abysmall (it even crased a few times during the first indexing and ML run). I suspect a major part is that the whole os runs on an hdd.

    If you put the database on an sd-card just ensure you make frequent backups somwhere else. I wouldn’t trust flash storage to keep my data safe.
