nah it's just bad for me, and I guess a bunch of other people. Use what is comfortable to you. I'd rather use a tiling wm, but I end up wasting my life away on config so I usually just use kde.

I hate it when people say shit like "a unique twist on pasta" like there aren't already millions of 'unique twists'. Humans have already put everything on pasta and pasta in everything.

Or another one I encounter too often "my own special [recipe/method/style/etc]" and the secret ingredient is... its just bad. no secret just bad.

After an hour or so of using gnome, every time I give it another chance, I recall this: https://userinyerface.com/

Obviously its not that bad but a bunch of minor things end up compounding into really pissing me off. Then god forbid you ask the devs to make an accessibility setting to resolve your problems. Or maybe the devs aren't shit people anymore, who knows.

If I was a nintendo switch era baby I totally would be sucking on a game card all the time.

man I wear a respirator just to go outside for a bike ride. maintaining smooth face for a proper seal is a pain in the ass but there are ways to die with less suffering.

Even knowing what they are, it seems odd to me. Especially where are my metroidvanias?

I mean Horizon zero dawn remaster does look better and supposedly fixes some other stuff like janky script flow, but I still wouldn't. Maybe for newcomers to the series.

I haven't played this but I would imagine it's just as anime style as it looks, in which case why even. Unless there were major flaws that should have been fixed in an update rather than a remake, and/or loads of new content that should have just been a dlc, I can't see much merit in a new version.

edit: the article mentions it being remade in 3d, so I guess the original wasn't. It mentions voice acting too but I dont know if it already had that. That could make for enough of an overhaul I suppose.

edit 2: it was isometric 3d based on screen shots, new one looks fully modern 3d

I need a replacement for the white plastic socket that the usb/charge board plugs in to. I used hot air to pull out a drifting stick but that also heated and fell off, and of absolutely fucking course, fell into the floor air vent and went on a grand old slippy slide away.

Does anyone know the actual name for this part? Everything I have tried searching so far is apparently wrong

 

Is anyone familiar with what the iron workers memorial bridge foot/bike path is like in the winter? My new work commute goes over the bridge and I'm wondering if it is viable in the snow or if I should budget for having a car by then. Also the state of the trans canada trail from where it meets the bridge to willingdon would affect my planning. I have heard snow on the roads is poorly managed in Burnaby and I don't like biking on them to bevin with so I'm a bit worried. The north van side I have already seen and its a mixed bag of both excellent and awful. Maybe its a city and district difference but I've seen atv plows clearing bike lanes and other parts where the bike lane has snow above my head height. I have a second bike configured for snow and with mid drive electric motor now.

Saw these while looking at apartments but have no idea what they are. they were found mostly on carpet, but some were in other parts of the unit.

edit: after looking up the suggestion of carpet beetle I am fairly convinced that it is indeed what they are. I also saw a few adult beetles that look like one of the species found in photos online. thanks everyone.

So I used something like these some years ago to recover data off a phone, but I was wondering if the reverse is possible in having a bga soldered adapter with a microsd slot on top. Or if PCBs can even be soldered together like that. I've never actually checked if bga chips have raised pads or something. The purpose would be for rapidly testing custom firmware for shitty old devices that were designed to be replaced without removing the emmc to flash it separately.

Companion plants (self.trees)
submitted 8 months ago by Grass to c/[email protected]
 

Its been a decade or two since I've had any sort of plants growing but when I was last trying to grow I was looking into companion plants. There are some that are pretty much ancient standards like beans corn and squash, but does anyone know plants that have a similar beneficial relationship with cannabis?

I'm currently using the blocklists included with unbound in opnsense on a mini PC and I have used pihole on a pi which now operates my 3d printers instead. I haven't tried any of the other network wide options. Has anyone made any blog posts or similar detailing performance testing of different options?

I have an 8 person household with each person having at least a phone and computer and probably some consoles or something. I haven't noticed any obvious differences but whitelisting seemingly can't be done in bulk efficiently with my current setup.

We are all going to be moving in the coming months so I am revisiting different aspects of the home network and trying to figure out what can be improved and if anything is irritating enough in it's current state to tolerate a potential performance loss.

 

I'm trying to find out what purpose this type of design serves and how they are designed but have hit a wall with knowing what to even look for.

This piece of the voron stealthburner is the only example I can think of off the top of my head but I have seen them before in some sort of fan duct or funnel thing.

So I've run mods on a bunch of different games which were downloaded and installed with the deck alone. No man's sky, lethal company, Subnautica, etc. with generally no problems but some modding software run through wine had visual bugs but the games worked as intended.

So I thought I'd try something bigger and install fallout ttw. I installed the base games from gog without issue, and MO2 ran fine with my overridden default of wine-ge. Even the ttw installer seems to work... slowly. I started it two days ago and the picture is now. I guess some mods you really are better off using a beefier computer and transferring the final product.

 

I want to link my brother's network to my own in the lowest maintenance and power consumption way possible. I want to be able to remote admin the computer and for his devices to access my network storage and potentially other stuff eventually.

My home network: Cable modem from ISP in bridge mode AliExpress Intel n100, 4x i226v, running opnsense bare metal Generic switch Wifi AP Multiple old computers and sbc's for self host stuff and 3d printers. Tons of wifi devices due to 10 person household.

Brother's network: ISP modem with built in wifi in default mode. Everything is wifi except tv and the previously mentioned computer. 2 person household.

I had previously tried using wireguard on an openwrt router on both ends, one a nanopi r5s and the other an orangepi r1 plus lts. I think I ran into issues with being unable to install packages due to being out of date or something. I tried compiling openwrt myself but it would fail and diagnosing that was beyond me. At the time the r5s was my home router.

I'm looking for recommendations for how I could connect at least his wired devices as if they were part of my network. Unfortunately it seems I'm still at the point where I don't even know what I don't know when it comes to networking.
