I’ve long had problems with random, unfounded bouts of anxiety. I’ve been taking Strattera and it has partially helped with this: when it works (which is 80% of the time), I can feel it keeping me in a mellow headspace at moments when I would have previously had racing thoughts and mental tunnel vision. Specifically, the...
What was the first ever distro you installed and used? For me, it was Mint as I seemed like the closest thing to Windows minus all the forced updates and chappy changes....
I had messed around with various distros in the mid 2000’s but never more than a day. Just as a “this seems neat” kinda thing. Recently I wised up, tried Zorin OS was on that for a year, then went back to windows for a while. now I’m running EndeavorOS and there isn’t even a windows partition on this machine, I will not be going back. Still debating setting up QEMU for the only windows only program I miss though.
The bug-fixing continued this week with the aim of getting Plasma 6.0.3 into a great state. Already the big bugs you folks found have almost all been fixed, and this week a lot of time was spent on some X11 regressions and various crashes that our new automatic crash reporting system was able to find (thanks for submitting...
Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s fixed but I’m too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.
Awesome shot! We have a couple of these Pileated Woodpeckers in my neck of B.C. as well. They’re quite timid though, only seem to be able to catch them leaving our yard.
This makes me even more excited to properly test my latest lens acquisition come spring, a 300mm F4.5 in beautiful shape :)
This was my first time soldering and it went pretty well. On booting it up the LEDs weren’t working on one side and one key wasn’t registering, a quick hit with the iron got it going fine.
Looks great! I’m currently in the process of building my first ever keyboard from scratch. I was between the Ergodash and the Lily58, and decided to go Lily58, seeing how nice yours turned out though is making me question my choice 😂.
I’m in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I’m also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective....
Thank you for reminding me of Material Shell, I tried it years ago on an older build of Zorin OS and it crashed constantly. Excited to give it another whirl, and great to see he’s working on the same concept with a new implementation,
Every morning I go by a entire lot filled with Jeep 4xe’s they can’t sell because they are too damned expensive. At least a couple hundred of them. Where I am as well even the base model they priced just right so it doesn’t get any government incentives or kicks backs for buying a EV or Hybrid which makes it one of the most expensive options in the category.
So, my both my JoyCon have a bad drift, and the extra one I got also have the same issue. I am looking for some third party handheld controller for Switch....
I’ve done this swap a lot. So hopefully this helps.
They do feel good. Definitely a little bit different than the original sticks, when they are new they feel tighter / stiffer than even a brand new joycon, but not overly so, they do loosen up a bit over time but are still stiffer overall. The rubber caps feel pretty much indistinguishable to me vs original.
My coworker gifted me a big box of old chaos space Marines. Most of them have been converted to noise marines, but they are a mix of metal and plastic, and all on 25mm bases....
Thanks for the suggestion! It looks like super clean is available here in Canada, but it’s 4x the price, gotta love Canadian pricing. I’ll definitely check this out. But as someone else suggested I might try Dettol and IPA first as those are cheap and readily available.
Dettol is super cheap here so thanks for the suggestion, I’ll definitely give this a whirl, how long do you usually leave them in there for? 4-6 hours or more of an overnight kinda thing?
I’m in a similar boat, Played very briefly as a broke kid, but mostly just lusted after models. My coworker convinced me to get back into it, so now I’m have a Death Guard Combat patrol all built, just need to get some primer on them to start getting them painted!
I look forward to seeing some WIP photos on the Salamanders!
And hopefully I can get some WIP photos of the death guard!
