Hey, man. Skimmed through your comments from today.

Are you sure you don’t want to go out? Maybe with a friend to enjoy the day. Or maybe fix something around the house that you’ve been meaning to fix for a while?

I’m sure you have a life full of little things that your energy is better spend with, instead of… you know. broadly gestures at your profile

I’m using a Dell S2522HG, that I calibrated using a colorimeter. Best display I’ve ever had. Not sure if they sell it anymore as 24" panels seem to be dying out.

Gnome uses around 1.6GB on my machine and runs a bit smoother than KDE (although last time I tested was 2½ years ago; so that may no longer be the case. I’m on a 240Hz panel aswell, so my experience may not be applicable to most users).

This.

Every time I think I’ve found a really clever, novel solution to a ultra specific graphics problem, someone else has already implemented it, usually much better than I’d have done, and was kind enough to put their code online for everyone to use.

DAMN ASSHOLES, being smart and kind, so I can’t even feel cool for 4 minutes, before I fail at implementation. >:c

If your heart holds even the tiniest itch for adventure, you’ll probably want to play this game. I don’t game as often anymore, because the older I get, the fewer experiences can really captivate me.

Outer Wilds did. I have a friend who told me he teared up during the end game, without understanding why, and I remember someone on Reddit comparing it to a religious experience.

It really makes you feel something.

I find this to be a real problem with visual shaders. I know how certain mathematical formulas affect an input, but instead of just pressing the Enter key and writing it down, I now have to move blocks around, and oh no, they were nicely logically aligned, now one block is covering another block, oh noo, what a mess and the auto sort thing messes up the logical sorting completly… well too bad.

And I find that most solutions on the internet utilizing the visual editor tend to forget that previous outputs can be reused. Getting normals from already generated noise without resampling somehow becomes arcane knowledge.

Edit: words.

I once had a problem with an ASUS notebook. I think it was the touchpad. So I looked in dmesg and found something like:

“HID something something was configured with flag 1. If this is incorrect, try the command blah blah flag=0.”

Ran the command and it was fixed.

I’ve never seen such a beautiful error in Windows. And I really lost my respect when I tried to calibrate an external screen on a Mac because that felt like Linux from 2016.

Swiss Army Men is pure gold imo.

This is just hackerman posting.

You’ve got the paint mircophone thing, which requires someone to physically be at (your) location and install hardware, but not encrypted DNS, or not - you know - just posting your current whereabouts to social media?

Someone being physically near you and installing specialized hardware is quite a threat level.

Fucking: “Cars will collect telemetry locally to be shared when you visit auto repair shops.” DUDE. They have mobile data in these things. I can’t even. Your list is so thoughtless.

And what’s second hand clothing gonna do for you, if the people surveying you have eyes and object permanence?

Basically, the pan must be hot but not too hot.

It sounds kinda stupid, but before I got used to my current pans, I always had to add a small drop of water to check whether I could start. As soon as the water began to boil, the pan was hot enough to cook (but wouldn’t just burn everything into a crisp).

In theory, it’s really, really simple, but to be able to intuit the pans temperature, really felt like a boss move… for the first few times, until it just became second nature. I had to scrape off more than one egg before it clicked.

Its manufacturing requires relatively large quantities of highly toxic and also very resistant chemicals. This means that when they enter the environment (and they will), they will poison it for a very long time, with consequences that are not yet fully understood.

In addition, it decomposes when heated above 260°C and can detach from the pan and get into your food. Keep in mind that almost all oils start to smoke well before reaching this temperature, so you should be able to tell when you’ve just ruined your pan.

In my opinion: hot stainless steel and a little butter will prevent food from sticking. This requires a (easy to learn, but still) technique, but once you got it, you can enjoy your stainless steel pan for basically forever.

I learned a while ago that constant thoughts of death and despair before sleep may indicate an anxiety disorder. However, since online diagnoses from strangers are almost always bullshit, I’d like to recommend a weighted blanket. I know it sounds stupid, but the weighted blanket fucks are right. You probably want one.

Yes, I’ve checked with a AVM Fritzbox. They do deligate /56.

I hear the satanitc temple is pretty cool. Not sure if that counts tho’.

I once got myself a small projector. It ran on Android. I didn’t want to connect it to my network. Unfortunately, an unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot would sometimes pop up nearby, which the damn thing would connect to in order to download ads and bother me with nonsense.

The workaround was to give it Wi-Fi, but block the internet connection in the router. The solution was to throw it away. Malicious little fuck.

Not really. But from a security perspective, giving software for a video game, done by InfinityWard, EA, Activision, Treyarch and similar, access to the lowest level of your operating systen is kinda insane.

I wouldn’t want any personal data on such a device, let alone do online baking on that thing. It’s weird how normalized it has become give entertainement-software this kind of power over your devices.

Ba-where?

1l of (4°C) water weighs 1kg. 1kg (of anything) is 1000g. 1g of water is 1cm³. Stack 1000 1cm³ blocks to get a 10m high column. This column exerts 100kPa of pressure on its base. 1N would accelerate it by 1m/s every second. And to heat it by 1°C requires 1kcal.

Meanwhile if you convert feet to miles, you get 5,280, for some reason.

But how about a little mettigel?
