  • Me all the time, but after getting medicated it's a little less overwhelming and I can better calm down about it and slowly chew through the lists of stuff that needs to be done... Slowly... But any progress is better than no progress at all so I'll take it as a massive win.

  • Google is testing a new way to make YouTube worse
  • If we get to a point where adds can no longer be reliably blocked I'll quit YouTube. Life is too short to be wasted on adds.

  • It's also about the fear of people just moving stickers around. I personally think it's probably only a very small amount of people who would actually do that so the cost of preventing that is not worth it.

    I can inform you that laser edging is much cheaper and way faster than stickers. Lasers are cheap and you don't have any consumables you need to keep buying like stickers.

  • Many people forget that a store can have two types of avocados priced differently that then needs to be distinguished from one another at the checkout. It could for example be organic Vs conventional. Or for apples there are many different types that can all look the same. I find this type of tech pretty cool. I would love to see variations of it. Maybe editable wax ink or something like that

  • Come to Denmark and you'll be seriously shocked by how much plastic is used for food packaging. It's insane and I hate it so much.

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • I got diagnosed last Christmas and started treatment as part of the diagnosis and the changes the medicine did to me are night and day. I started on 20mg Ritalin Uno (methylphenidate modified release). Now I'm on 20mg morning +10mg afternoon.

    I still fidget with things constantly about just as much as before but as an engineer this is also how I see the world and do my job the best so I'm happy in a way that it didn't stop completely. The biggest change for me is all the noise in my head have been tuned down so much that I can actually think straight and focus on stuff. Before I felt like a constant blast of 10 radios playing at the same time in my mind all with different topics, tones, music, conversations, anxiety, traumas, hobbies, work etc. Now it's almost gone and I can see and hear clearly what I actually feel and tune into just one at a time. My general mood and mental health has improved significantly since I'm more calm and confident and can take much better decisions and act upon them. I feel like i improved 5 fold on my work and still have a little energy and mental capacity left for myself when i come home.

    The best thing is that I now have better abilities to protect, understand and accept myself and my own behaviour. I now have the ability to actually take actions to improve. As an example I used to get stuck on YouTube shots for hours and hours but actually took the action the other day to protect myself and it is now blocked on my phone so I simply just can't go there anymore. I also stopped many other small dumb routines and finding a way to get out of them and stay focused on what I actually want to be doing.

    Remaining symptoms is probably hyper focusing (like writing this post way too long compared to what it needs to be) but I'm better at steering the focus now. It's also stil completely Impossible for me to remember names, dates and future plans unless written down and checked multiple times. Also still going to bed waaay to late because brain is racing in the evening sometimes if the medicine wears off early. Depression is also still lurking around in the background, threatening to show itself but I'm getting better and better everyday as I'm slowly finding my new self.

    Eddit. Forgot to mention that I also tried concerta 36mg but it absolutely did not work for me even though its supposed to be tye same. I got drowsy, had sleep issues with insomnia. Felt dizzy at random times during the day making it dangerous to drive. Got extremely tired when I got home and fell asleep on the couch because of dopamine crash just to be absolutely unable to sleep at night regardles of what I did. Ritalin is releasing much more precise for me and doesn't linger around for too long to cause sleep issues. I sleep sooo much better than i have ever done when I'm on Ritalin.

  • Building a brand new machine and leaving Windows for good
  • If you like Ubuntu I can only recommend Debian with KDE desktop (don't install the default gnome DE).

    I just switched recently and it's a very clean feeling. No snap and no nonsens. Just stable and trustworthy.

  • Windows 11 is now an ad platform--this is why we're here
  • In my naive mind the steam deck is a huge motivating factor for developers to go directly to native Linux games. In reality it's probably given only little a consideration.

  • Server as heating device - how do I do this?
  • You can always dump the hot water in an outside radiator if you HAVE to cool the server room to keep the temps down. A simple fan duckt would probably doo fine too. However with the heat pump you can also heat a little hot tub to use outside in summer

  • Windows 11 is now an ad platform--this is why we're here
  • How long before the majority of game development is defaulting to Linux/Unix instead of windows? Getting native Linux games to run on windows is only becoming easier and easier with WSL? To me it seems like less of a hastle than trying to go the other way like we do today with proton and wine. Can someone enlighten me?

  • Server as heating device - how do I do this?
  • You can even dump the cold air from the heat pumps into the server room and pull the hot air back into the heat pump again to gain even better efficiency

  • Uuh grub?
  • I had an old laptop do this some years ago and it was because the graphics card was broken. I had dual graphic card and found a way to disable the broken one in bios (dedicated one, could continue on intel graphics) but the computer was too old to reliably use much longer and it died even more a few months later.

  • Same for bicycle helmets. Maybe you are not crashing because you feel like pro rider and you are just biking 500m today, but someone else might run into you by accident making you crash. Same for seatbelts in the parking lot.

  • The 'World's Largest Wildlife Crossing' Will Help Animals Walk Safely Over Eight Lanes of California Traffic
  • Having those predators captured inside a smaller area between major roads whith no safe way of getting out, puts a lot of stress on them to find food. This in turn can make them much more dangerous to humans but also other prey animals. Making a safe crossings will give the predators a chance to expand their territory to a more natural size. Similar examples can be found in India with tigers being caught inside a major road network getting really close to humans.

  • What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives?
  • Combine with git and you now have a good way of keeping track of changes as well of you have to collaborate with others.

  • Generative AI could soon decimate the call center industry, says CEO

    Kan jeg bruge min feddit konto på mastodon

    Beklager hvis dette er noget som er blevet spurgt om før, men som titlen siger: kan jeg bruge min konto her på feddit til at poste eller interagere med mastodon? Jeg ser ofte opslag her på lemmy postet fra mastodon, men forstår ikke helt hvordan det fungere og om det kan gå den anden vej også.

    Går jeg ind på mastodon.social står der tydeligt at jeg ikke kan logge ind her med en konto fra en anden instans, hvilket jeg forventede, men hvad gør jeg så?

    Hvis ikke man kan lige nu, er der så nogen som ved om det er noget der arbejdes på, så man måske snart kan? Jeg er nemlig ikke umiddelbart interesseret i at have flere konti spredt ud på andre instanser jeg ikke kender og er tryg med, men måske i kan overbevise mig om at det ikke betyder noget?

    Beautiful decaf mokka coffee from freshly grinded beans and lots of fresh warm milk. This is by far my favourite drink to have in the late afternoon. [update with recipe]

    A few of you asked for how to do it so here's my guide. This method gives me perfect coffee every time, but your milage may vary so don’t be afraid to experiment.

    Grind to filter coffe size or maybe a bit finer. Don’t go to espresso level or it’ll just clog the brewer and burn the coffee. It is generally not super sensitive to grind size so don’t worry too much. If in doubt go corser.

    Always, always weigh the coffe! I found that they are actually quite sensitive to the amount of coffe you put in. Ever since a started weighing the beans I’ve never had any issues with it. If you cannot get a nice consistent flow through the entire brew and it begins to sputter too early you most likely filled it too much. So rather than fiddle with the grind size, you should instead fill it a little less next time. This is why you must weigh the beans. I use 12-13g for the 2 cup that you see here, and 28-30g for the 6 cup version. If I go outside that range it won’t brew nicely. It’s that sensitive! Grind size does very little to change this

    Finally use hot water. This first of speed up the brew but also makes it easier to control the pressure inside. So pour hot/freshly boiled water in, assemble, and put on a low to medium heat with the lid open so you can see when the coffee comes. When the coffee starts to come through turn it down to low low heat to get a nice, slow and consistent flow. For the 2 cup version it’s about 15-30 seconds and for the big 6 cup version i think it’s about 40-90 seconds. I can’t remember exactly so don’t worry too much as long as it’s consistent and nice and slow.

    Pour the coffee immediately. Otherwise it’ll slowly burn and turn bitter in the hot brewer. If you want to share the portion stir it a bit first since its much stronger at the bottom.

    With this method i always get amazing coffee out of this little machine and i low it so much.

    The milk i just heated with the Bialetti electric milk foamer but a little pot and a whisk would do the same. Don't heat the milk too much. It should only be around 65 degrees or something like that or it changes the taste. For UHT treated milk i guess this doesn't matter.

    I hope this was helpful. So enjoy your coffee.

    Additional debugging steps:

    If you use a blade grinder: This is fine, and I’ve used one for years when I was a student and it worked just fine as well. You can grind pretty fine with that for the mokka pot. It's difficult to go too fine, but again, if on doubt go corser. Much more importantly is to avoid clumps. Blade grinders tends to make clumps so try to stir them out a bit with a needle/scewer or a very thin fork.

    Clumps causes channeling and easily makes it sputter and all the water goes through too fast since it cannot build the pressure needed to make a consistent flow.

    Clogging causes it to go really slow and sputter almost immediately and it seems like not all the water wants to go through. This is because it builds up too much heat and pressure so when the coffee passed through the coffee it's above 100C° so it instantly boils when it reaches the other side and gives a very harsh amd unpleasant taste.

    Oh I forgot to add. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CLEAN YOU MOKKA POT WITH SOAP! Don't be fooled by what others are saying. It's not building up "flavour" it is literally old and rancid coffee "flavours" you are building up. So please please clean you pot with soap and a soft sponge every single time.

    Homemade Turkish kumpir [filled baked potato with cheese]

    Kumpir is a traditional Turkish streetfood wich is based on a baked potato with cheese and toppings. In this case, the inside of the potato is mixed and mashed heavily with Gouda cheese and topped with olives, sweet corn, roasted sausage pieces, and salty pickles. Dressed with ketchup and mayo. Many different types of toppings exists, so very easy to make as you like.

    Hvad har I repareret i stedet for at smide ud?
    www.dr.dk Hvert år smider vi 100.000 ton elektronik ud: Politikere vil gøre op med dansk brug og smid væk-kultur

    Fradrag, tilskud og større krav til elektronikproducenter er blandt de virkemidler, politikerne kigger på.

    Hvert år smider vi 100.000 ton elektronik ud: Politikere vil gøre op med dansk brug og smid væk-kultur

    I lyset af alle de nyheder, jeg ser på DR omkring klimaforandringer og reparation af ejendele, vil jeg gerne høre fra jer. Har I for nylig taget initiativ til at reparere noget derhjemme eller på arbejdspladsen i stedet for at smide det ud? Jeg har for eksempel selv på hjemmefronten stoppet sokker og karklude, så de holder mere end dobbelt så længe, og på arbejdet går jeg rigtig meget op i at genbruge elektronik. En gammel computerskærm kan blive til et dashboard eller en ekstra skærm ved siden af min hovedskærm. Jeg skiller også gamle automationsudstyr ad og genbruger knapper, PLC'er og motorer, som kun er nogle få år gamle. Fortæl og inspirer.

    let the wild fowlers come

    Hi nolawn. I just wanted to show my tiny little home project that is to allow the wild flowers to come and then one by one learn what it is. It's a a narrow strip of dirt i have on my tarrace at my appertment but I wouldn't be without it. I fenced my tarrace to keep my dog in but more importantly to keep the gartner out, since he remove "weeds" that are not allowed to grow. He straight up remove floweres from all my neighbours strips of dirt last year and I hate him so much for it. I strictly told him to let my garden be and that I'll manage it myself. This year it comming with full power and filled with wild flowers and the bees are buzzing here. It's the pretties strip in the neighborhood imo.

    !

    !

    Some sage I planted and tte bees love it. !

    !

    This below is just so sad. It's from last year. Stupid gartner... Those floweres were so pretty.

    Simple i know, but one of the best prints I've done this month. Raisers for my garden chairs. so satisfying.

    I love it when I have a problem and I can just go fix that with an hour of designing and testing and have a working solution printed for the next day. Just so satisfying. This is why I love this hobby.
