Finally prescribed methylphenidate, and I'm productive again! What can I expect from here on out?
  • I experienced (and have seen post from others) that there’s somewhat of a honeymoon phase. The first weeks i felt odd, like i had drank a million cups of coffee, but also crazy drive. For the first time i could just do things in a timely manner without a deadline or pressure and I wasn’t miserable.

    Now a few months later, I’ve gone back a bit to my old ways. It still helps and i can tell when i forget to take it. Its significantly tamer and needs more effort to get stuff done.

    Being a new developer and ADHD
  • Meds worked wonders for me, exercise also helps have a bit more energy.

    The most important thing i wish i knew is that you’ll find something that works for you and it’ll be great, but it will eventually stop working for you. Thats ok, it’s a constant cycle where you’ll have to change your approach multiple times. Don’t get discouraged though, expect it and embrace it.

    Connected to Wi-Fi, Firefox cannot load pages, only some downloads though apt-get are working
  • Can you ping IPs (like your router or 1.1.1.1)? Do you have the same behavior over ethernet?

    Also, might be silly bit I’ve been fooled by this more once, have you tested other devices have access to the internet and the specific sites you’re testing with aren’t down?

    Me with my shelf of hyper obsessions over the years
  • Dang, does anyone have any advice here? If it was free stuff it would be fine, but there’s always some gear or materials to buy

    Pursuing your passion
  • What does that fix though? Government is a little more funded, so what? If thieves were rampant, the solution isn’t taxing the thieves.

    Billionaires leech off of the working class and we should just tax them? No, we need to address the underlying mechanisms that allow them to do that. If someone actually did $1 billion worth of labor, they deserve the billion, and probably a prize for being the first

  • I run proxmox on an i7 10700 8c/16t CPU. I have this idea that if I have a gaming VM, I shouldn't over-provision cores and even leave 2 for the host, but is that really the case. Can I somehow ensure VM is basically pinned to say half the cores, and the other half can be fought over by whatever other VMs I'm running and proxmox itself? Could this affect performance on the gaming VM?

    Disable authentication inside LAN?
  • What are you trying to achieve? I could propose alternatives like using a password manager like bitwarden that would autocomplete login info so login is less of a hassle. You can also use SSH to start/stop/list/etc. VMs so you could create a small local UI or shell script to automate the tasks using key based auth so you don't have to input login data.

    I also don't think there's any reason for your proxmox web UI to be available outside your local lan or a VPN. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question.

    Will my battery drain faster if I connect an external display to my laptop?
  • Some will, the display backlight needs power after all and a fair amount. I believe most displays have either an internal battery, maybe some can draw power from the laptop. The former will have negligible impact on battery as the computer only needs to render the image for the second screen and send the video output the display, the latter will have a big impact on battery as on top of all that, had to power a big bright backlight.

    Suggestions for upsizing from ITX build for Proxmox server
  • Honestly, its not even performance, GPU and RAM will need upgrading before the CPU starts being an issue. Its just the ITX motherboard that annoys me, there's a lot of cool stuff I could do with more expansion slots. But I think you're right, I expected to get 3-5 more years from that CPU, it's probably best to just wait for the new stuff to become more affordable

  • A few years ago I built a mini ITX with these specs:

    • cpu i7 10700
    • gpu zotac twin edge 3060ti
    • ram: 32gb ddr4
    • Cooler: CoolerMaster MasterLiquid AIO 120mm
    • MoBo: asrock H470M-ITX/ac
    • PSU: Corsair Supernova 550w PSU
    • Case: Sugo sg13
    • some assortment of drive I don't recall 4.5tb total

    Back then I thought I'd get some portability out of an ITX build but that wasn't the case, its still too heavy and fragile for me to feel comfortable lugging it around. I'm hardly getting any benefit from the small form factor, but still have all the downsides: poor upgradability, hard to clean, limited expansion.

    I got a proper tower, phanteks p400, from a friend and plan to move my computer into it and gradually upgrade bits until it's a proper ATX system, ship of Theseus style, and eventually with the old parts have a solid HTPC.

    I use this system as a proxmox server that I access remotely and don't generally use more than 2 vms at once for gaming, programing, machine learning, etc. resources are perfectly adequate for now, but I'm starting to run into the limits of the system and I'd like to consider an upgrade plan.

    PSU is the obvious place to start, probably move up to an 850w unit or more.

    Here is where I generally get stuck, should I:

    • save up for a current gen mobo, cpu, ddr5 ram upgrade
    • get a LGA1200 mobo for cheaper and still have the option to move to an i9 and get 2 more ddr4 dims for 64GB.
    • something else entirely

    GPU and storage aren't dependent on the mobo or cpu gen so those will be more based on need and when I can afford

    So, I'd love to get some feedback and advice to make a more informed decision. Thanks in advanced

    Gamers nexus on LTT
  • I dont think it was malicious, but it is incredibly negligent. It puts a huge stain on the company that’s expected to honor embargos for unreleased products.

    Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?
  • I haven’t used it in a while, maybe its better. Basically since vscode is an electron app it can run im he browser. You can even use https://vscode.dev which is the official web version. Iirc it didn’t have the same plugins, but it’s pretty much the same thing.

    Its super useful when you deploy alongside containers as an easy way to change configs in shared volumes.

    The avalanche has begun
  • Well, yes, we all benefit. Most often than not, improvements on steamdeck directly translate everywhere else, but not always. I believe the steam client HW acceleration has been broken for nvidia gpus for a while now(?).

    Don’t get me wrong, gaming on linux is better than its ever been. But i wish it would take into account linux as a whole and not just one specific piece of hardware.

    Separate server or all in one PC?
  • For power efficiency, you get the added benefit of being able to run on battery backups for longer. This for pihole, file servers, etc. can be a lifesaver
