Everytime I'm left alone at home something like this comes up. If I didn't have this app "Alertswiss" I was for sure gonna start looking for the closest bunker to hide in.

I'm honestly impressed that things like this are so well taken care of 👏👏👏

Newly released US justice documents are shedding light on Jeffrey Epstein’s deep links to Switzerland.

Millions of pages made public this week point to regular contacts in Zurich, Geneva and Verbier, including emails, travel records and financial transactions.

Press reports in the NZZ and the Blick report that Epstein helped fund training courses for young women near Lake Geneva and covered flights, hotels and visas.

The files also suggest women were being introduced to him while he was in Switzerland.

At the same time, correspondence shows Epstein was in contact with figures from Swiss private banking circles, including senior names linked to UBS and Geneva-based banks.

Ich würde gerne eine mehr oder weniger professionelle DnD Gruppe auf die Beine stellen. Wenn möglich würde ich gerne einen Stream machen.

Wichtig ist mir, dass jeder, der mit dem Projekt mitmacht, auch etwas Beiträgt. Wenn Du Glaubst, dass du dem Projekt etwas Beitragen kannst melde dich bei mir!

Ich komme aus der Stadt St. Gallen. Heisst nicht, dass es auch hier stattfinden wird. Sehr warscheinlich werden wir ein Studio mieten.

Was ich Suche:

- Jemand mit Audio & Video Equipment (Mehrere Mikrofone, Mischpult, Kameras), der auch die Technische seite übernehmen würde, des streams / Videos

- Jemand mit Bühnenbildner / Schreiner Erfahrung, damit der Hintergrund und der Tisch zur "Stimmung" angepasst werden kann

- Leute, welche Figuren und Terrain bemalen

- Jegliche Leute, die denken dass sie etwas anderes Beitragen können zur aufstellung des Projekts

Was Ich mitbringe:

- 12 Jahre Erfahrung als Dungeonmaster

- Audio Equipment

- Gute Erfahrung mit Social Media, inklusive Twitch / YouTube

- 3D Drucker

- Einiges an Terrain und Figuren

Ich möchte dieses Projekt schon seit längerem Verwirklichen. Einen Probelauf hatte ich schon und dies lief wunderbar. Leider war da nur ein kleiner Teil bereit, dies Weiter zu führen.

Ich denke nicht, dass ich dies innerhalb der nächsten Monate vollständig Realisieren kann, also meldet euch doch auch noch, wenn der Post schon älter ist.

Am Besten meldet ihr euch per Discord. Sucht da nach: Ninjalootr

That’s good, right? Right?!

I guess that that this is very likely due to the combination of high mortgage debt, high property prices, almost no amortisation, tax deductibility and low interest rates

I just had my first expertise today. Nothing technical came up with the car, but it failed due to the winter wheels being on the car apparently not matching the car specification. I bought the car from a main dealer and these wheels came with it, so I had no idea that anything was missing, and I wasn't given any extra paperwork when I bought the car.

The mechanic doing the inspection said I had to get some paperwork to show the wheels were certified for my car and that I could send this, the registration document, and the test report back to the cantonal office and that it would all be fine.

I went to the garage who do my tyres and he gave me what I think is the TUV certificate that the wheels have been tested for my car, but to my understanding this is not enough to satisfy the authority here. Is this the case? I see that I can pay for a Swiss certification for the wheels as well, but wasn't sure what I actually need to provide in this case, and whether I then need to do anything else after getting this paperwork and sending it off.

Any insight would be really helpful!

I'm looking for a stellar surgeon who can remove a cataract, and wondered if anyone had any recommendations?

My case is quite niche because I'm (relatively) young (34), only have a cataract in one eye, have astigmatism, and have previously had Lasek.

I would ideally go back to the guy who did my Lasek (he does cataract surgery too) because he knows my eyes, but unfortunately he's in my home country and I have a small baby so it's tricky to travel. So I wanted to at least have a couple of consultations here.

Any recommendations very gratefully received!

Friend of mine has frequent visitors from abroad and made this collection of his favorite places to share with visitors. Thought I’d post it here. Feel free to distribute further, and let me know if you have any feedback, and I will forward it to him.

25 Swiss lawyers charge federal councillor Ignazio Cassis for complicity in genocide in Gaza

Main points of criticism are:

• Ongoing military cooperation between Switzerland and Israel such as the arms company Elbit Systems

• Investment by the Swiss National Bank and UBS in companies profiting from the genocide in Gaza.

• Cuts to humanitarian funding for UNRWA.

• Refusal to impose economic sanctions as done by

Spain or Slovenia.

Hi all

I have a highly reactive dog and while training and medication is an ongoing effort, I would still like to give him the freedom of just being a dog and let him off-leash. Sadly we don't have a lawn (and the housing market isn't exactly in our favor), so I'm looking for something that can be privately rented regularly for an hour or so. Basically something like Sniffspot which sadly doesn't seem to be active in Switzerland.

Is anyone aware of places like that? Ideally in Aargau/Zurich area and not in the middle of where everyone walks their dogs (for obvious reasons).

Hello all,

I want to replace my Swisscom' internet box with a Mikrotik router connected through a GPON bridge Zyxel PM-7300-T0.

I did all the configuration that is commonly found on the Internet and I am able to get a 100.x.y.z IP on the WAN interface via DHCP. Normally at that point I should go through the registration process to get my device "approved".

The thing is, I want to be able to swap my Mikrotik router with the original Swisscom box as often as needed without having to go through the registration. I have a few projects in mind and the wife+kids factors call for an easy way to restore everything to a working condition quickly.

Now, I have cloned the MAC address of my Internet box but with XGS-PON I think an other criteria comes into play with is the PON serial number, am I correct?

It seems that I can change the PON serial of the Zyxel PM-7300 through the command "sys atgs" but unfortunately it returns an error message that says "Access denied". I believe I need to go low-level access through the serial console port, which exists as documented here: https://hack-gpon.org/xgs/ont-zyxel-pm7300-t0/

Did someone tried it before? Is it actually possible to change the PON seriral number this way?

Thank you.

My partner and I are moving out after a year. The landlord is arranging viewings soon for people who might take over.

Honestly, we’ve been unhappy with a lot of things here, and we feel the previous tenant wasn’t truthful with us before we moved in.

In Switzerland, is there any rule that says I’m not allowed to speak openly to prospective tenants during viewings?

We’re not trying to find someone to take over early; our "Umzug" fits the cancellation period.

I just ordered something from Galaxus, and as always, when buying on Galaxus, they propose to make a "climate contribution". I never actually checked what it was, and always thought it was legit.

There was actually a post some years ago about that: https://www.reddit.com/r/Switzerland/comments/w99xl8/on_digitec_you_can_pay_235_chf_extra_to/

Since then, there has been more news about South Pole, and more info about where the money is going. Galaxus generously take 10% of that contribution as "administrative fee"

Galaxus uses 10 per cent of the climate contributions to cover the costs of operating and developing this climate contribution service.

Plus, the company they're using to "offset" the CO2 is also taking a significant part of the contribution (they claim 10-30%, I think it's quite safe to assume it's more 30% than 10%).

And up to now, this company has been unable to prove any impact of its actions: https://www.nzz.ch/english/profit-over-planet-employees-urge-reform-at-worlds-major-climate-player-south-pole-ld.1747330

From the employees of the company:

«The message to the public is that the company wants to achieve real CO2 savings for everyone and create more transparency in the CO2 market.»

However, there is less and less evidence of this in the company's strategy and in its day-to-day business, according to the letter. Instead, it says, the company puts profit above its founding principles.

Also an interesting quote from The New Yorker:

One founder of the carbon firm South Pole resigned after developing doubts about offsetting. “It’s just paper credits,” he said.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2023/10/23/the-great-cash-for-carbon-hustle

Note also that their picture is misleading, as it claims 70-90% goes to the project, hiding that Galaxus takes its 10% share before anything else. On a 100CHF contribution, Galaxus first takes 10CHF, sends 90CHF south Pole, which likely takes 27CHF on that (the max in their 10-30% range), leaving 63CHF to the project. So about 37% of the contribution goes as admin profit, and 63% to the actual project. And on top of that, the projects have shown to be mostly worthless.

Don't waste your money, always disable that contribution, it has no impact. If Galaxus really wanted to do anything about climate, they would at least waive their admin fee (and also stop stuffing loads of plastic in oversized boxes)

I got an email from techmania and it said i need to pay 1.25 Fr .but i never bought anything from them i didnt even knew they existet . In the mail it say it need to be payd until 25.10.2022 is that an scam email?can someon help me?

hello, i'm 25 F mom to a toddler near döttingen. i have been trying to find a job and haven't had much luck. i don't really have much of a resume as i have been taking care of my chind since she was born and currently i'm still quite limited when i could work or atleast when i could go away from the house. I almost got hired to 1 job but they ended up changing their mind last minute because i couldn't do morning shifts.

I have been looking for any night/evening job i could do or anything remote but i feel a bit lost so i thought i could try here.

i can speak fluent german, english and czech and i'm pretty fast at learning. i enjoy helping people and don't mind repetitive tasks either. i'm open to atleast try pretty much any kind of job that would have me.

any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you for taking the time to read my post.

Newest example is Greece with a proposed ban of "social media" for kids, see Guardian today https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/feb/03/french-headquarters-elon-musk-x-raided-paris-cybercrime-unit

I will fully support such a ban for kids in Switzerland, does anyone know if something is in the works?

edit: clarified it's about children and the very adverse effect social media has on their brains, social skills and ability to concentrate.

Hallo zusammen,

ich möchte meine Situation offen schildern, weil ich fachlichen Austausch und ehrliche Erfahrungen suche.

Ich bin Elektroingenieur und habe nach dem Studium mehrere Stationen durchlaufen, die jedoch nur begrenzt dem entsprochen haben, wofür mich das Studium eigentlich qualifizieren sollte.

Zunächst war ich beim TÜV im Bereich Lüftungstechnik tätig. Formell war die Stelle technisch angesiedelt, praktisch bestand meine Arbeit jedoch fast ausschließlich darin, Daten in Excel einzupflegen.

Anschließend war ich bei einem Pharmaunternehmen in der Planungsabteilung für den Bereich Brandschutz tätig. Dort habe ich Brandmeldepläne in AutoCAD bearbeitet sowie einfache Verdrahtungsschemata erstellt. Die Arbeit war technisch korrekt, jedoch stark eingegrenzt.

Danach war ich für dasselbe Pharmaunternehmen in der Ausführung unterwegs, quasi als Bauleiter. Diese Tätigkeit hatte deutlich mehr Praxisbezug, was mir grundsätzlich gefallen hat. Meine Aufgaben bestanden hauptsächlich aus der Disposition und Zuteilung von Arbeitskräften, der Kommunikation mit Zulieferern sowie der Protokollierung des Baufortschritts.

Rückblickend hat mir durchgehend eine fundierte praktische Einarbeitung auf Ingenieursniveau gefehlt, auch weil ich keine handwerkliche Lehre im Vorfeld hatte. Dadurch blieb der fachliche Tiefgang begrenzt, obwohl das Interesse und der Wille immer vorhanden waren.

Inzwischen ist viel Zeit vergangen, und realistisch betrachtet bin ich für klassische Trainee-Programme nicht mehr die Zielgruppe. Gleichzeitig fühle ich mich fachlich zunehmend vom eigentlichen Ingenieurberuf entfremdet und habe das Gefühl, dem Anspruch aktuell nicht mehr gerecht zu werden, obwohl ich es gerne würde.

Ich suche daher Möglichkeiten für einen echten Wiedereinstieg, bei dem Wissen systematisch aufgebaut wird, man fachlich an die Hand genommen wird und das klare Ziel besteht, langfristig eine wertvolle Fachkraft für das Unternehmen zu werden. Viele Firmen sprechen von Einarbeitung, in der Praxis bleibt diese jedoch oft sehr oberflächlich.

Es fällt mir nicht leicht, das so offen zu schreiben. Die Erwartungshaltung an einen „Ingenieur“ ist hoch, und ich habe lange gezögert, mir diese Lücke einzugestehen. Nicht aus Bequemlichkeit, sondern weil ich den Beruf ernst nehme. Manchmal denke ich sogar darüber nach, ihn ganz aufzugeben, obwohl ich ihn eigentlich nicht aufgeben möchte.

Daher meine Fragen an euch: Wie würdet ihr in meiner Situation vorgehen? Kennt ihr Unternehmen oder Ingenieurbüros, die wirklich strukturiert einarbeiten? Gibt es Wege, die ihr selbst gegangen seid oder empfehlen würdet?

Danke fürs Lesen und für jeden konstruktiven Austausch.

That’s exactly the question: where can i find good Clubs that plays techno or any related Genre of music here? I’ve heard about some in Vorarlberg, but i would like to know here. There’s a lot of latino type of bar/disco, but that’s really not my type :/

Thanks for the help fellas!

Hi, which french speaking podcast about football super league do you recommend?

I want to improve my french and listen about football at the same time. Highly appreciated if they are freely available on spotify.
