  • Did both. Setting up your own VPN is a bit annoying but when it works it works. Tailscale is really easy and solid. For folder syncing I can recommend using tailscale and syncthing. Install both on both devices, then connect the devices in sync thing (it will reciprocate) and then you can add a folder and share it with the other device. Latency for syncing can be 10s-3min, plus the actual file transfer speed.

    Knowledge level: configuring software and setting up software. Maybe some basic network troubleshooting if it comes up.

    It's never gonna be as easy as paying for a service that does it for you but this setup is also not that hard.

    If you have questions feel free to ask me or other nerds on here, I'm sure they can help you ^^~

  • That is wild. I hate it.

  • That is fucked up. I hope you're somewhere safe now and that you can recover.

    In that kinda environment anyone would break, but you're resilient enough, I have a feeling you'll be able to slowly build trust again.

    I wanna say so much but basically everything boils down to "I'm glad you're here". Feel free to dm me if you ever need to talk to someone and otherwise it's only up from here :)

  • Following that logic, we have an obligation to march into Russia, China, the USA and most other countries. Spoiler alert: Nazis come in all shapes and sizes in every country that's big enough.

  • Worst case, buy a second copy for your cat, she deserves it :)

  • What you are raising is a very delicate subject but let's call it what it is: dating sucks. No matter your gender, there's hurdles, it's just really hard to find someone who's putting effort in. If you're a woman, it's because lots of people matching you will be absolute garbage. A friend showed me who was writing her and most of it was weird and creepy. If you're a man, it's hard to find someone who wants to write with you period. And any other genders deal with an equally limited dating pool.

    It makes sense, it's statistics, mathematically plausible, but damn it sucks. Unfortunately I think we are at the point where these conversation are bound to get eroded by inflammatory rhetoric. So these nuanced discussions are things for the future.

  • I do that at the ATM and I also double-check for scanners on the bank card input.

    My phone unlock is a cluster fuck so I'm not worried about anyone who tries it. Scarier is that there's ways to bypass it, so if it gets stolen I'm kinda fucked.

  • "assigning blame is the most useless reaction to disaster. Do damage control and then move on."

    My parents used to blame each other a lot when they were fighting. When my friends mess up something, I will them that it's annoying, and then figure out how to deal with it. But I'll never make them feel bad for it, because it's just wasted energy.

  • Cis man here.

    It's an issue. It comes in lots of different colors and flavors but it all stems from social issues.

    There's lots of reasons, some men were never taught about social relationships, men tend to generally be less interested in social interaction thus giving them less experience, some men are ostracized when talking about their social struggles, and these are on top of preexisting environmental factors and preexisting mental conditions.

    At this point it's important to say: it's not a contest for genders. Trans people have it hard, nb people have it hard women have it hard. It's just that this is one of the rare times men's struggles are not addressed properly.

    I can tell you I probably have about 50 men in my life that I ko and wo are nice but if I had to talk to a man about my struggles socially, there are 2 men.

    Now couple this with the fact 90% of men I had deeper conversations with told me they are struggling with depression and some of them having suicidal ideations, it is fair to assume we have a problem.

    For me, the depression is always exacerbated by social isolation. It makes sense - not getting some feedback from other people can get you into crazy headspaces and there are thinking patterms that literally make you hurt yourself just to make it stop.

    There's another aspect: we are social creatures and as soon as you don't get enough "social exposure" it's harder to learn social cues and "get the vibe", and other people notice. So the more you isolate, the harder preceding social interaction become and the harder it is, which in turn incentivizes isolating. A vicious cycle.

    Now not everyone has these issues and I would never say that it's the most important issue in our current society but every time I hear suicide statistics by gender it really puts into perspective that we should get to know those people who we have failed.

    One thing I also wanna address is the idea that "men are never taught how to socialize", because I think it implies a lot of things. First, I'm sure a lot of men are not, but a good number of men are. I was for example. It didn't help, but that was never the issue for me. Second, it implies men want to be taught. I spoke to a group of 2 men and 2 women with mental disabilities about if they ever considered complete social isolation. The men said yes and the women said no. I think this is really significant and can give insight into why this is affecting men more than other genders. I would infer from this that women always see the benefit in social interaction, and men pursue social interactions rather as a means to an end. This might be a stretch but this supported by other observations of friends and family.

    This topic is really important and I hope it gets talked about more - for the benefit of everyone who wants to see people become happier. The men affected by loneliness, as well as the people who deal with them.

  • AuDHD here.

    One thing that helps me a little bit is I learned that when I switch topics, I always try to switch them back at the end of the conversation, so that my brain goes through all the other associations again and when I missed something that's when I remember at least parts of it.

    This is a me thing so take it with a grain of salt.

    Btw it sounds like your partner's ADHD is quite strong and I've heard in extreme cases you kinda have to look into medication. I know it's not always the end all be all but maybe that's something to look into.

    Otherwise I wish both of you good luck with your search for answers :)

  • Not a Linux nerd but just to make sure you checked the basics: did you verify integrity of the OS image? Are you able to verify your USB, memory and HDD all work in isolation?

    My first hunch on this is hardware issue, because you get hard shutdowns from what I can gather. I could be wrong though, I only install OS occasionally.

  • So it would be

    mAh / h => mA

    Then?

  • mA / h / h => mAh / h2

    That's one hell of a measurement unit.

    Edith: apparently I'm an idiot

  • Yeah this looks like animatediff at 360p from 2022.

    It's good, but it's also really bad quality by now. As if you released a Nintendo Wii now. It's good, but damn does suck for the current hardware available.

  • Actually it's 4, the voices say I am a useful asset.

  • I would argue they are always off. But some are off in control by margin of error, and some are so bad they get invalidated with the next control measurements. And every bit of data has validated our current climate models. In fact the data is so clear, that we don't need new models to verify climate change, but we are just looking at refining the scope of different timelines. Hell, we know since 1971 that climate change is dangerous.

  • I think you need to look at this as an immersive romcom and then it becomes funny. Considering he believes it, this is such good writing.
