What I find crazy about all of this is getting so violent about what is likely petty neighbour disputes. Like I understand it is annoying, but a murder suicide over this stuff, like you gotta be objective here.

What a joke

For me I noticed that when it's hot and I think about a ice cold beer, I am really craving something that is ice cold and refreshing. So when I have that craving, I try to find a glass of ice water or a soda. Typically I have that and the craving is satisfied.

You mentioned the outdoor bars. I dont know if that entails you feeling the social pressure to drink, but that is typically what I feel when I go to the bar. For me if I get a coke with ice, then people think I am having a coke with rum and dont question me. Even if they did I have gotten more comfortable being able to simply say that I dont drink and most people dont inquire further.

Good luck with your recovery journey. I have given up drinking also for the health benefits and I don't regret it

I think one drive was the biggest factor in me deciding that I needed to self host my files

Yeah it was better before smart phones. Pre 2010 I would say was the peak for tech in our world. Smart phones were coming out, but not widely adopted by everyone yet. Flip phones solved the problem of being able to contact people when you were out, but they did not have apps that sucked your soul away.

If we had never advanced past dumb phones then the world would be a better place.

When I was a younger I asked my dad this same question and I will never forget how frazzled he was by it. He told me some b.s. answer like, "Oh, I don't know. You don't really need to do that."

He made me feel humiliated for asking. At a certain point I could not ignore it anymore though, so when I experimented and tried to figure it out myself, I did cut myself and there was blood everywhere. I was terrified and thought I was going to bleed out. Luckily it wasn't really that bad and I managed it on my own, but I remember how scared I was.

After going through all that, I told myself that I would help my future son if he ever asked me a question like that. You are a better dad than mine was in this situation. It's your job to help them with whatever they need, and it would have meant a lot to me back then if my dad had helped me the way you did. I can guarantee your son appreciated it and will remember how you looked out for him.

It is obvious that they don't want average consumers fixing these. What parent has the time to take the controller apart like that to change the battery. Nintendo are slime

Nintendo must just hate consumers at this point. Why else would they do all this b.s.

Increases your chances of cancer

 

I'm looking to get a gaming pc. I mainly want to use it for emulation of PS3 and Xbox 360 and lower. Would also use for modern gaming some too. I would like to load Bazzite onto it so I can be on Linux and use a steamdeck like interface.

I'm looking at the second hand market and I see one with these specs:

Ryzen 5 2600 Evga GeForce GTX 1660 ADATA XPG 16GB (8x2GB) 3000mhz MSI B450m pro-vdm max 500GB NVME M.2 + 1TB HDD Thermaltake 650w 80+ Bronze Coolermaster q300l v2 mATX Case

Would this PC work well with Bazzite and run PS3 games well?

 

Were can I buy external ssds and hdds? I used to buy them on Amazon, but I don't want to go through them

 

I have been using different apps for years to follow my favorite teams and leagues. I used Bleacher Report for a while and then a few others. Problem always is at some point they get enshitified and start covering the pages with ads, sports betting, and send pushy notifcations.

I really just want something that will let me see the games being played today and send me notifcations when the games start.

 

I have migrated my browser over to IronFox, but I have noticed that my banking apps dont like it for signing in. I'm wondering if there is an app that can change the default browser when certain apps are open, and then revert back when they are closed.

I'm going to upgrade the micro SD card I use for emulation to one with more storage. What is the best way to close the micro SD card I have in my steam deck now to a new one so I can just plug in and go with all my games and save files?

 

I set up Immich on a spare mini PC running Linux Mint with a spare external HDD to store the library. Used Docker compose as recommended on the website. Everything was working great last night. Then this morning I decided to move the mini PC to a more permanent location. I powered down and moved it. When everything restarted though I discovered that I was unable to c9nnect to the immich server. I went onto the mini PC and the local host and all it says is, "connection was reset." I have tried restarting docker from terminal several times and it says the immich services are running. I still cannot connect to the server though. What can I do to fix this?

 

My big winter boots I have used for the last few years got a split in them today. I use them a lot as I walk about 1km a day to and from work. I have to walk up hills and on ice at times. Which boots should I buy that will be good quality, keep my feet warm and dry, and last repeated daily use?

 

I am coming from being a console player all my life. I love the conviency of a console, but I'm tired of all the B.S. Subscriptions, lack of exclusives, no backwards compatibly. I got a steam deck last year and I love it. I would like something more powerful though that I can plug into my TV though and game in at least 1080p with high settings. Ideally 4k with decent settings.

I am transitioning my computing to Linux and I like the look of Bazzite which is very similar to the steam desk. I would like to do a build that can replace my console. I'm thinking I should go Ryzen AMD. I'm more just wondering what components will work with a Linux build and if there are some things I should avoid. If someone has recommendations for a $1500 CAD build I would also be very interested in that.

 

I've been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I've transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I've been looking and so far I haven't found a viable alternative.
