Tell me you are a psychopath without telling me you are a psychopath.

Spent years on reddit after Google+ closed, my hopes are now with the Threadiverse
I'm interested in (among many, many other things):
TTRPGs, board games, longboarding, SUP / paddleboarding, and mechanical keyboards.
Yes, I realize that's a lot of "boards" in that list. :)

Avi Loeb is a pathetic crackpot hack who is abusing his prestigious academia position to flood journals with worthless papers. He really needs to be ignored by society at large because he has no clue what he is talking about.

There was another Twitler who tried to create an everything Reich.
I know Elon Twitler is a giga troll but now he’s just taking the piss. He is probably going to fund his own legal bills against the unfairly terminated devs of the company he had to be forced to purchase.
We don't have our devs on call at all. Infra / platform ops are and I think they get 750€ per on-call week (not more than one week out of four) which includes two calls or two hours of call duration whichever is reached first.
After that it's another 70€ per call or started hour and it's the same if an expert who is not on call is asked to help out with an issue reported to on-call (but they may not answer / decline as there's never an expectation to be "soft on-call")
Overall that's an okay deal and some sorely needed extra money for the ops guys and gals. But all the same I'm happy that my devs don't need to plan their lives around an on-call schedule.
Edit: Ah sorry, didn't even answer all the questions in OP…
We're in Germany and there is a cooldown time after you fielded an emergency on-call report (which is outside of regular working hours by definition) which is either 8 or 10 hours (not entirely sure since my team doesn't do on-call as previously stated) before you are allowed to start your regular work time for the following day.
Not sure how they tally up working hours for payroll but if you wake up to a call at 3am then certainly no one expects you to be online again at 8am. If you get a call at 10pm however then you get to start working normally the next day. (unless that issue took forever to troubleshoot ofc)
On-call rotations are one entire week per person who participates (which is not mandatory) and the participants per pool must be at least four - which is why they are pooling web admins, DBAs and other ops folk together.
That seems to work okay even though every so often more specialized know-how is required than the current on-call tech possesses for the topic at hand and then they request extraordinary assistance as described above.
