  • How to get over my reddit ""addiction""?

    Jump

  • It sounds like you are fundamentally trying to embrace healthier habits. I would suggest starting by examining the feeling. Just spend some time thinking about it before acting. Why do I feel motivated to do this? How will I feel while doing it? How will I feel after? Do I gain something from this worth the downsides?

    The goal is to make a decision about what you are doing and why instead of just falling into old patterns of behavior with thought.

  • Just learned about RSD... sooo did anyone else have a reputation as a cry baby in elementary school?

    Jump

  • Yeah. Human memory evolved to keep us alive not happy. Brain assumes anything that stressful must be life threatening and we obviously should remember that so we can avoid it in the future.

    I personally find having a rational understanding of the utility of emotions helps me process them.

  • It's bell curves all the way down.

  • Add a discrete GPU or not?

    Jump

  • If the iGPU is getting the job done, I would leave that alone. You could add a GPU and pass it through to a gaming VM. But that is an entirely different project.

  • Home server rebuild automation workflow

    Jump

  • Proxmox is basically a VM management software that runs in a Debian install. You may be able to add it to your current install, but I am not certain about that.

  • Where to start as a beginner

    Jump

  • First based on everything I have ever heard, don't host your own email server. If you want to learn it that's fine, but don't do it for something you actually rely on. My understanding it's a constant miserable slog to keep it functioning.

    Second for getting started, get a cheap used computer and install Linux on it. Also be prepared to wipe it and install something different. Docker may be a good place to go next. You can find lots of guides online, there are tones of apps setup to run with docker you can test out. You could also explore virtual machines. Both have the advantage of making it easier to experiment with different things.

  • Let's say that yes, you pointed them to "networking". The issue is that they have a specific problem and you are pointing to a topic so broad and deep with no specific direction. But you also say "it's basic". Well if it truly is basic and they still don't get it, this would be a clear indication that they need some level of hand holding. Last if your feeling "that is a lot of work, I don't want to do that" no problem you don't have to. But in that that situation I would suggest reviewing before commenting: is it going to get the person closer to a solution? Is encouraging to the person? Am I indicating I also have this problem indicating someone else could step in and help multiple people at once? Is it funny? If it's no on all those, maybe don't comment.

  • I think the important factor is that you have contributed nothing of value to help this person learn. You could have linked to a useful resources, you have suggested Google searches to point in the correct direction. But you basically said "This is easy, RTFM". Next time at least send them the manual they should read.

  • If we're gonna armchair-diagnose people based on their OS, we should do it for all of them

  • More like: Windows + Linux + Android + FreeBSD = ADHD

  • TikTok owner ByteDance sacks intern for sabotaging AI project

    Jump

  • I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of "intern" was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.

  • Might need some cigs too...

  • Personally I have been microdoseing anxiety for years. Sure, it's a bad solution but it is a "functioning" solution.

  • Compulsion to help others

    Jump

  • Good insights. I will need to spend some pondering how much of this applies to myself. Thanks for sharing your experience.

  • Do you donate money? How, why, why not?

    • Planned Parenthood - Gave my wife quality routine medical care when were broke.
    • Pfblocker - fuck ads
    • Physics Girl - I gave hospice care to my Dad for a couple months. That was literally the hardest most painful experience of my life. I can't imagine surviving giving full time care to someone for years like her husband has. Me chipping in a couple bucks every month might help reduce money stress in a small way.
    • Harris campaign - I would like Democracy to continue and the opposition seems directly against that happening.

  • Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes

    Jump

  • Hey get your facts straight. They overclocked it intentionally but poorly. If they weren't already pushing it to the limit this probably wouldn't even be an issue.

  • Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes

    Jump

  • Every CPU will wear out given enough time. Most of the time that is like 20+ years, so no one cares. The problem is that they where pushing things so hard the CPU was wearing out in 6 months. So all of these CPUs will likely have a reduced lifespans, but they may last long enough to get you to your next upgrade. If you are already seeing crashing issues, it is likely wore out already.

  • Off My Chest: I just had a very long talk with my father

  • I have started to mentally replace "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" with "every hurt you heal makes you stronger". I am sorry you got hurt, I wish you the best on your journey to heal.

  • TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females

    Jump

  • At the very least it makes a good exercise in questioning facts to make sure you are not coming to faulty conclusions by misunderstanding.

  • TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females

    Jump

  • Does this mean the visual center is 25% larger or that the configuration of cells is different? If it is larger where are are women's brains larger then men's brains?

  • Intel’s big turnaround plan is now looking very expensive and poorly timed

    Jump

  • The best shot for that any time soon would be Qualcomm's ARM laptops. But it doesn't seem like they are prepared to deliver what is necessary to make that happen currently. I think they under estimated how much software/driver work was necessary to compete.
