Side note: I love this style of "artwork". I also enjoy old books with paintings, older maps and whatnot and can look at them for hours. Maybe it's because I work in print media and know how fast and good modern tools are, so

Thanks for the links! Kibana looks interesting but also like a lot of overhead to learn and handle. datadog also is interesting, although it looks like it's more tailored to watch the operation side of things, like infrastructure. I&#x

Using geothermal energy is surely a niche thing in Germany, yet. I've heard about two or three people who used it for their homes, but nothing large at all. Here's a German article from two months ago on that: https://w
