Threw a wrestling watch party, made special food, and was very disappointed in the outcome.
  • i don't know why but i feel strongly about this topic and the comments are not helping either, if i were to host a function and invite people over and they refused to show without previously telling me they won't be able to make it, i would hurt them so much they won't get over it and that'd be the end of whatever friendship existed between us

    in my part of the world, social events are to be honored, if you can't or don't want to go, that's fine and you should say so before hand, if you can't anyways, you're expected to reach out to the person and make amends for that

  • In Search Of Lost Time

    I have decision paralysis in organizing my work and self-study flow. While working on one thing, I keep agonizing as to if that's what I should be doing and lose time doing so. I keep trying to let go of this mindset and I just fail.

    How do I improve on this, how do I make sure that I don't lose time while trying to buy time by optimizing my workload? Is my workload too much? Am I trying to achieve a lot of things at once? But if I don't, I'll probably never get to where I have to be, yet chasing all of this means I'll be stuck in a spot for a long while, perhaps I let go of my dreams and just lay flat.

    I try fixating certain tasks to certain times, I've cut down on a lot of things, creating a huge backlog that I might not go through in 10 lifetimes.

    How do you make sure you do the things you have to do, when you have to do them and not feel like it's a waste of time you should put elsewhere even after you've decided that the task at hand is paramount?

    How much do you all pay for Power?
  • Sorry to ask, why're you equalizing temperature?

    i feel the AC goes on when it's hot or warm and the blast furnace goes on when it's cold, is there a particular advantage as to why you're doing it this way?

  • New terminal apps: Warp and Wave
  • i've never had this issue, my only gripe is that I set my system font to Jetbrains Mono using gnome tweaks which conflicts with Wezterm as it's default font is also Jetbrains Mono

  • Help setting up Wi-Fi router
  • and change the password to something from correcthorsebatterystaple.net.

    i wonder how secure or private it is to use a password generated online. You should use a password manger instead. They have built-in password generators

  • (How) can a modem spy on you?
  • thanks for this, I was also in this situation, I got a xiaomi router and flashed OpenWRT on it, I then turned off the Wifi switch on the ISP router making it a modem only but I was still concerned about my internet data as it moves between my modem and their servers. your comment made it clearer

    i should probably invest in that mullvad vpn now

  • I need a new phone but I want to do this right
  • everyone keeps mentioning Pixel Devices, but I'd personally never use one for the same reason I won't wear branded clothes

    you should check out OnePlus devices, the bootloaders are easily unlocked and they've major LineageOS support, the phones also have a high quality build, if you like the form of your XR, definitely check out the OnePlus 8/8 pro or 9/9 pro

    another option is if you can get any of the Samsung S10 models with an exynos chip, they also have strong build and are supported by lineageOS as well

  • Touch Typing
  • Ok, I'l look into those games, I know I have to put in practice but getting started is somehow uncomfortable, that's why I'm looking for tips to improve the experience

    the limited time I spend in front of my desktop, I'm preoccupied with learning other stuff, practicing this alongside makes me slower

    thanks for your reply though

  • Touch Typing
  • Thanks for your reply, my high school equivalent never had such, our computer classes were spent in front of barely functional monitors with MS word open as we learnt the "CTRL +" commands while never as much as touching the keyboards

    thanks for your support

  • Touch Typing

    Good day to everyone except to the neo-liberals always btching about .ml being a communist instance, we don't care about your opinions

    Moving on, I got my first computer about two years ago and typing has been a pain, last year I read a post online about touch typing and I've been trying to do that ever since but switching from my "hunt and peck" method is quite difficult. Changing hand forms and trying to return my hands to the home format has always made me given up on touch typing.

    I now have a lot of typing and note-taking to do and I'm trying to learn this, so I'm looking for tips and advices on how to make this easier

    thanks in advance, pals

    also, if you're on linux and want to try this out, there's this native app I'm using Klavaro. It is also available as a Flatpak

    What makes you stand out?

    Hi everyone, i would like to know what makes you stand out from your immediate environment. It could be something physical or a feature that qualifies you.

    I'll go first, i have quite large feet from years of moving around barefooted and while growing up, i had to have shoes custom made as most of the good ones were made in general sizes only, i still have trouble getting shoes.

    Distro Hopping - For People That Can't Make A Decision @lemmy.world owlet @lemmy.ml
    NixOS Tips and Tricks.

    Hello everyone, I came across this sublemming/com today, I saw it had no post yet and decided to do the honour of opening the /c/ to topics.

    I've been running ArchLinux on my former laptop for close to a year now and then got a new one and decided to put NixOS on it. First off, it was intimidating as almost everything I read online about NixOS was either about the Nix language, Flakes, Options, reproducibility and every other peculiar stuff about the Distro. Right now, I'm settled in and really enjoying it.

    Now, I'd like to know any tips, tricks or settings I could do to my install that'd make it a better development environment, I use the Gnome DE and all suggestions are welcome. Also, I'd be replacing the ArchLinux on my former laptop with OpenSuse Tumbleweed, opinions about that are also welcome.

    If you're new to Linux, take your time with it, try out as many distros as you can and if you need any help, you can mention me or check in the general !Linux /c/, you'll surely find all the help you want. Remember, with FOSS software, you're in control of all your information.
