rescue_toaster,

Made a Zandalari troll resto druid and immediately tried healing some dungeons. I was really bad at it. I’m guessing healers will have insta-queues when i get to 25 and can try raids for leveling.

TIL: Auto Detect graphics setting fails to detect graphics card

Upon logging in yesterday, my fps was complete garbage. Spent several hours trying different wine/proton versions. Eventually after some internet searching, it seems that WoW’s in game graphics setting for Auto Detect graphics card wasn’t actually using my graphics card. Changed this to my graphics card instead of...

Oh, I didn’t realize that the refugee center had useful things! I’m not a very experienced player and have never ventured there. Is Smokes simply a vendor? I just found the wiki page on the refugee center missions. Guess I need to go there! It’s not too far from my starting location. I’ve been too focused on my car build.

Managed to have the right parts to craft a wire draw machine, so have also been supplementing my welding rods from batteries with welding wire from all the scrap copper that is easy to obtain/craft. With the welding wires, I am limited by hydrochloric acid.

rescue_toaster,

Thanks for the tips! I fortunately stumbled upon a vehicle welding rig and a near pristine working solar car so drove it to the evacuee shelter and installed the welding rig. Building another big solar car to be a mobile base since i’ve never done vehicle construction before. The large electric motor seems up to the task. I’ll have to be on the lookout for the advanced motor for the noise issue.

I fired up fallout 1 after watching it.

rescue_toaster,

Nope. Played it all the way through when it first came out. But haven’t touched it since then.

rescue_toaster,

A long time ago most airlines checked at least one bag free. I used to always do this and as op suggests, not stand in line. It was great not having to take a bag through security and haul it around through airports and connecting flights, and avoid the stress of if the overhead space would run out.

But airlines have done everything in their power to make boarding and the whole flying process miserable in attempt to suck every dollar they can from you for their upgrades and priority boarding.

I do often take advantage of the airlines offer to “we expect a very full flight, overhead space is limited, and will check your bag for free to your final destination”

I dumped ubuntu for debian 12 due to snaps, and i’m very happy so far. I run sway as my window manager. I guess we’ll see how i feel in a year but i honestly can’t think of any software i run that i’m simply fine with it not being the most recent. I’m even using the firefox-esr version that debian ships with and it’s fine.

rescue_toaster,

I just built a amd 7600 system in January 2024 and had no issues. Not sure that counts as very new but it was for me!

rescue_toaster,

Have an amd card. Have never done any special steps to update my graphics card, as amd drivers are just built into the kernel. I used to have a nvidia card and it was like 2 or 3 commands to enable proprietary drivers and was then always notified and updated with my usual software package upgrades.

Granted i haven’t run windows for over 15 years but I remember having to go to nvidia’s website and manually download and install new nvidia drivers to update. Is this still true? If so, this is simply objectively worse.

I’ll agree with a decent amount of gaming. Unless it’s steam, getting wine set up, even with lutris, can be a hassle.

rescue_toaster,

Same here. It’s a great size. Probably going to hold on to it as long as possible. Keep being disappointed that newer pixels keep getting bigger.

rescue_toaster,

I remember going on a serious old jazz kick and downloaded so much ella fitzgerald and other jazz after playing (replaying?) some of the fallout games.

Bash script to move focused container to new empty workspace

So I migrated from i3 to sway. Had a python script that I found on the internets that did this, and really like the functionality. Figured I’d give an attempt at making my own script in bash. My programming skills and bash scripting aren’t great, so I had chatGPT help me with some syntax. Thought others might be interested...

rescue_toaster,

Yup. I teach at a university. It used to be adequate for instructions to say something along the lines of

open the file C://Folder/anotherfolder/subfolder/document.ext

I encounter more and more students every year that have no idea how to do this.

rescue_toaster,

My system did not already have that 20auto-upgrades file. I went through the others in the directory and none seemed to contain those relevant lines. I just checked my other ubuntu system, which did have the 20auto-upgrades AND a 10periodic with the same lines, which is likely redundant.

rescue_toaster,

Looks delicious!

I never trust X minutes per pound. Meat thermometers are cheap and so useful.

Also, my Mother taught me the reverse sear method and that’s my preferred cooking method for a prime rib.

rescue_toaster,

Sway is basically the wayland version of i3. I’ve switched to wayland on my new laptop and learning sway after using i3 for years has been relatively easy.

As a latex and formatting snob, I will only say element abbreviations should not be italicized. H$_2$SO$_4$ is how I usually do formulas.

rescue_toaster,

Kvaesitso is fantastic. Can get it on fdroid.

rescue_toaster,

You’re counting calories which is great. But don’t worry about the number on the scale. If you have little muscle and are not super fat (23% isn’t that fat) you will gain weight if you start building muscle.

My biggest suggestion would be to follow the starting strength workout 3 days a week. As a beginner, you’re doing a bunch of worthless exercises. Stick with the barbell essentials, and pullups: deadlift, squat, bench, overhead press, bent over row, and pullups. These use lots of muscles and will best promote muscle growth. Go heavy, you should be really struggling to get that last rep. If you’re not sore as hell after the first few workouts, you aren’t lifting heavy enough. If you get all the reps you wanted to do, add 5 pounds the next time you do that exercise.

Stay away from the machines until you want to focus on really specific muscles.

Especially do deadlifts, it works a ton of muscles and nothing builds confidence like lifting a bunch of weight off the ground.

Watch youtube videos for form advice. Do a few warm up reps with really light weight, such as just the bar, to practice form. Ask others at the gym for form advice. Most lifters are super friendly.

As you get stronger, you can work in other things like biceps, triceps, dead hangs, etc.

rescue_toaster,

Yes, eat well!

Cooking can be fun, inexpensive, and rewarding.

Learn to cook chicken and fish dishes. Marinate a bunch of chicken breasts or boneless, skinless chicken thighs and bake in oven as needed. Super easy.

Eat lots of veggies. You can’t get fat eating veggies. This also has the additional benefit of making it super easy to poop. Cut up and saute carrots, onions, brussel sprouts, spinach, or whatever you like. Frozen peas. Put on tv or listen to podcasts while you prep. Watch cooking shows for inspiration.

This is essentially my go to dinner for the past fifteen years when i decided i wanted to be healthier by exercising and eating well.

Board games at a local game store. Many will have a board game night.
