I love the rather surprising end very, very much: “she” crying in the arms of her husband about “him”, and the husband (author, Jewish, great character) accepts it.

I purchased a couple of audio-books at The Pragmatic Bookshelf, and how do I seriously listen to them on my iPhone?

Actually I had a 20% discount voucher, that’s why I got them all at once.
I want to listen to the audio-book on my iPhone and to read the corresponding e-book on my iPad in sync. Makes sense, doesn’t it? That’s my new alternative to binge-watching on the treadmill in the gym. I can imagine to do that in the green as well.
The audio-books come as “.m4b” (a “protected MPEG-4 audio”), or as a ZIP file with “.mp3” (which I unpacked into a directory). They live one of my Synology DiskStations, actually in a “Drive”, that I can see with a Synology app on my iPhone. I can actually navigate into the respective folder using the Files app on my iPhone. The Synology Drive app allows to download the files in question “in place” (in advance, e.g. through my home wifi), so I am not forced to download them through the mobile Internet of my smartphone.
Once I try to “share” an “.m4b” or an “.mp3” to the Books app, the Books app is not available. In other words: the Books app on the iPhone is only good for audio-books purchased through Apple. Isn’t that silly?!? It’s a P.I.T.A., to be honest.
If I “share” the “.m4b” with my VLC on my iPhone, VLC plays the “.m4b” just fine. I can see the TOC (through the triple-point, “Video Options” (never mind!), “Chapters”), and that is certainly a “must” for an “audio book app”. Fine so far.
I am reading “the e-book” on my iPad in the Books app. The Books app on the iPad does not refuse to handle an e-book not acquired through Apple.

high competence refugees and coping with the exile
It seems so hard for them to build a peer network in exile.
Why is that? Language skills, skills to market their competence, networking skills.
How do I get to my conclusions? It is a rather scientific approach based on:
- experience (that comes with lifetime and openness to news and opinions)
- speculating starting with brain storming
- comparing
- discussing and arguing with peers and “elements in the field of research”
So here are the theses:
- refugees are anxious and afraid, because they underestimate their own skills
- because they are not used to market themselves (life never forced them to. they should be helped to develop these skills)
- and therefore because they are easily embarrassed, because there are mistakes and failures to be handled appropriately
- they are not building a network here, because they think it’s not worth the time and the energy, because they will return in a couple of months only
- but quite possibly it will take a couple of years for the Ukraine to allow the refugees to return
- quite possibly the Ukraine will exist in the future only as a “virtual network in exile”, quite similar to the approach or concept “The portable / portative fatherland”
From a social-darwinistic point of view the process will result in the survival of the fittest. It will hurt the 95% less than extremely fit.

my WordPress Linux account has a crontab entry “echo hello”
$ ssh -A … $ crontab -l … * * * * * echo helloI certainly did not create this weird entry, so who did this? Did somebody illegally take over my WordPress?
