I'm getting bored of weightlifting. What should I do?
  • Maybe try out calisthenics? Never been too into it outside of the basics, but its a good way to build strength and muscle without lifting weights. You should be good at long at you're still training hard and applying progressive overload.

    I guess you're still lifting weights, but the weight you're lifting is your own body weight.

    Super fast charging is so underrated.
  • I get where you're coming from. My Oneplus charger is extremely slow when used with my Steam deck.

    Does any phone with USB PD charge at 80+ watts though?

    Super fast charging is so underrated.
  • I don't think fast charging is underrated generally

    Maybe it was just me underrating it.

    that fast charging will reduce your battery life more than slow charging,

    That's true, though I think Oneplus does a good job of keeping the battery from heating up. That and the fact that I basically never charge up to 100% any more has resulted in my battery health dropping to 98% after 6 months of use.

  • I got my first Oneplus phone earlier this year and the fast charging is such a nice convenience. I thought it'd just be a gimmick I wouldn't care about, but its something I take advantage of basically everyday.

    In the past I've used Pixels and Galaxys and they tend to claim they have fast charging, but in reality its pretty slow. My old Fold 3 took \~1.5 hours to fully charge.

    For comparison, the Oneplus 11 I replaced it with fully charges in under half an hour, usually closer to 25 minutes (though I very rarely actually charge up to 100%).

    I bought a second charger to keep in my backpack and it basically completely removes any battery anxiety that I used to have. The other day I was out after work and my phone was down to 5%. I saw that I was near a used bookstore, so I went in and charged my phone for 5 minutes while I looked around and I was back up to 35%, enough for several hours of screen on time.

    Why Are Arch Linux Users So TOXIC?
  • Issue was not Pamac related, if it was then I'd have understood. They just saw that I had Pamac on my system and shut down my posts.

    Why Are Arch Linux Users So TOXIC?
  • I'd disagree about that being the worst case scenario.

    When I used to use Arch and asked a question on the Arch forum, they removed my post because they saw I was using Pamac so they assumed I was actually on Manjaro. They didn't ask me if I'm using Manjaro or anything, they just assumed I was and removed it.

    I reposted the question and clarified that I was using Arch, but that got removed again due to it being a duplicate of a removed question.

    I made a meta post about what I should be doing in order to not get my posts removed and that got removed as well, though I don't remember the reason they gave for that.

    That was the last time I posted on the Arch forum and shortly after, I switched to Void Linux.

    What is a good hobby for a depressed person?
  • If one of the two sessions is cardio, then it's not too bad. But yeah, lifting weights twice a day would be extremely difficult to recover from.

    what exercise does your mental health depend on?
  • Bouldering if that counts. If not, then incline dumbell bench press. It's definitely my favorite exercise, probably followed by pullovers or flat dumbbell bench.

    List Open Source Workout Trackers you use here.
  • I've tried like a dozen different workout trackers, including Hevy, and recently settled on Liftosaur. Before that I was on Fitnotes.

    I'm busy working out right now and don't have time to give the app justice, but it's fantastic. It has its own scripting language that let's you create workout programs in greater detail than any other app out there.

    Getting old and metabolism slowing down fucking sucks
  • It's much more related to people changing their activity level as they get older.

    If you're still as active in your 40s as you were in your 20s, you'll burn basically as many calories.

  • I'd probably have to go with Audiobookshelf and Kavita. Behind those would be Invidous and Immich.
