How would this help? If the USB socket in the laptop is upside down, the angle would point downwards, making it impossible to put anything in it, and even if it were angled sideways, along the laptop, it is still an adapter to solve a problem, that should never have been an issue to begin with.

Sure, how about using one of these when the buttons point downwards

Sigh, the fact that this even exists make me sad.

Tremendously informative. I especially liked how he breaks down the myth of barter and shows how it was never really a thing historically.

Currently in a bit of a slump in my reading, bit currently listening to

My favorite is when laptops mount their USB ports upside down and I have to lift the laptop for my interactive peripherals.

I find it disturbing that there are at least 41 more nutguzzler Nazis.

I run a pretty barebone Archlinux with several distroboxes. My main motivation for this setup is that I work on a lot of different projects that all have very different setups. Running them in distroboxes make sure I can just drop the box, once the project is finished, and all code and data is just wiped, without having any impact on my main setup.

What is it about society that disappoints you so much?

Oh I don't know, is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?

Or maybe it's that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit; the world itself's just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our burning commentary of bullshit masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.

Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. I'm not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy but because we wanna be sedated. Because it's painful not to pretend, because we're cowards.

Fuck Society.

Finished the third season of Invasion. First season was good, but after that it kind of went downhill.

 

Hey folks, I'm currently looking to setup a testing ground for running a kubernetes testing environment. Initially I was looking into running a local cluster where I can test all my crazy ideas before running them on my real cluster.

Is anyone running a similar setup and what recommendations do you have?

I am interested in running this externally and I don't mind paying for a good provider.

 

Are there any communities that focus more on the privacy side of using crypto?

I, probably like many others, am struggling with exhaustion that seem hard to shake. It kills my hobbies and interests one by one, it makes doom scrolling and watching stupid shows seem like the only valid activities I can handle.

I have tried the "touch grass", I regularly switch off my phone to take breaks from social media, but it is hard to find motivation to anything but sleep and watch TV on the weekends.

Are there methods to deal with this sort of exhaustion from... gestures broadly at everything ?

Edit: after the initial replies I realized I probably should mention that I already do regular therapy and take prescription drugs for depression.

Edit 2: Thanks everyone for replying and handing out advice. My plan moving forward is to get some labs done to make sure I don't have any deficiencies and have my meds adjusted if they need to be. I will try eating better, be more conscious about sleep and regular exercise.

 

Hello folks, I am currently in the market for a new laptop and I want to hear from people who have hand-on experience with Linux laptops. I am currently looking at framework and tuxedo laptops, but I know very little about these companies and have a hard time finding anyone who have actually used one of their laptops.

I would appreciate getting in touch with anyone having direct hand-on experience with products from these companies (or another company that you feel should be considered) and let me know what you think of their products and the company itself.

I am interested in companies that support the right to repair and offer good warranties for their products and I need a laptop with modern hardware and a low weight.

As I was growing up, my family had a couple of sayings I took for granted were universal, at least within my language. As I became an adult I have learned that these are not universal at all:

  • the ketchup effect. It is an expression meaning that when things arrive, they all arrive at the same time. Think of an old school glass ketchup bottle. When you hit the bottom of it, first there is nothing, then there is nothing and then the entire content is on your food.
  • faster than Jesus slid down the mount of olives. Basically a saying that implies that the mount of olives is slippery due to olive oil and Jesus slipped.
  • What you lack in memory, your legs suffer. An expression meaning that when you are forgetful, you usually need to run back and thus your legs suffer.

Please share your own weird family sayings.
