 ## Build your inner citadel
 
-Develop your inner strength during good times so you can rely on it in bad times. Always prepare for adversity and face it with calmness and resilience. Maybe reconsider what you really desire. Be humble enough that things which happen will happen. Build your inner citadel. In good times strengthen it. In bad times rely on it. We should always prepare for things to get tough. Your house burns down: no worries, we eliminated much rubbish. Imagine what can go wrong before things go wrong. We are prepared for adversity; it's other people who aren't. Phil Jackson's hip problem example. To receive unexpected benefits, you must first accept the unexpected obstacles. Meditate on death. It's a universal obstacle. Use it as a reminder to do your best.

 # Resources
 
-This site contains a list of resources I found helpful. I am not an expert in all of these topics, but all the resources listed here impacted me. I read some of the books quite a long time ago, so there might be newer editions out there already, and I might need to refresh some of the knowledge.
+Please go to:
 
-The list may not be exhaustive, but I will be adding more in the future. I firmly believe that educating yourself further is one of the most important things to advance. The lists are in random order and reshuffled every time (via *sort -R*) when updates are made.
-
-You won't find any links on this site because, over time, the links will break. Please use your favourite search engine when you are interested in one of the resources...

-# Formal education
-
-I have met many self-taught IT professionals I highly respect. In my own opinion, a formal degree does not automatically qualify a person for a particular job. It is more about how you educate yourself further *after* formal education. The pragmatic way of thinking and getting things done do not require a college or university degree.
-
-However, I still believe a degree in Computer Science helps to understand all the theories involved that you would have never learned otherwise. Isn't it cool to understand how compilers work under the hood (automata theory) even if you are not required to hack the compiler in your current position? You could apply the same theory for other things too. This was just *one* example.
-
-* One year Student exchange program in OH, USA
-* German School Majors (Abitur), focus areas: German and Mathematics
-* Half-year internship as a C/C++ programmer in Sofia, Bulgaria
-* Graduated from University as Diplom-Inform. (FH) at the Aachen University of Applied Sciences, Germany
-
-My diploma thesis, "Object-oriented development of a GUI based tool for event-based simulation of distributed systems," can be found at:
-
-=> https://codeberg.org/snonux/vs-sim
-
-I was one of the last students handed out an "old fashioned" German Diploma degree before the University switched to the international Bachelor and Master versions. To give you an idea: The "Diplom-Inform. (FH)" means translated "Diploma in Informatics from a University of Applied Sciences (FH: Fachhochschule)". Going after the international student credit score, it can be seen as an equivalent to a  "Master in Computer Science" degree.
-
-Colleges and Universities are costly in many countries. Come to Germany, the first college degree is for free (if you finish within a certain deadline!)

 The following stats were collected via `uptimed` on all of my personal computers over many years and the output was generated by `guprecords`, the global uptime records stats analyser of mine.
