As others have said, you don’t have to be concerned about anything if you keep good backups. Disk storage at this time is very cheap compared to what it used to be, you could probably find a 5200 RPM 5 TB disk for ~100 dollars USD, or even better, two 2 TB disks which you could configure with software RAID.
Yea, I have heard about SketchUp as well, but if I can learn the full FOSS alternative instead then I’d like to use it. I guess I could use Blender or something too, but I really liked the engineering oriented parametric modeling that Fusion360 was doing with the timeline.
That’s good to hear about the 3d printer as I have yet to connect mine to try the same thing. I just have to learn freecad though, as i used to use fusion 360 which is not packaged for Linux.
Yes, even though I did not have a subscription, watching them do stuff like this every 2 weeks for the last year or more is what finally pushed me off to Linux as well. I got my parents moved over as well though, and they did have a subscription previously.
Way back in 1997 or so, I was not sure what to use, so I just chose “Foxtrot” from the phonetic alphabet because it sounded a little neat, and it has my favorite animal in it. It was not such an issue because you could still get that name everywhere at the time of course. Since then, I have mainly used variations of that, but at some point branched out into some others such as the one I use here.
It’s always kind of funny to me though, when I go through some old backup and see one of my forum signatures with my original name on it.
Rather arbitrarily for mine haha
Why did you pick your username?
I see, thank you!
Yes, I suppose I could have worded it better, but what I intend to say is that because people can do seemingly nothing (are prevented, or feel as though they will find no meaningful result from their effort), they figure there is no reason to try to do anything in the first place.
I don’t mean to say that they shrug anything off or are not moved. Quite the opposite actually.
You may be right, but I’m not sure which comparisons you are making specifically and am interested to hear what they are if you are interested in explaining them to me.
Our wealth is taken, no one does anything.
Our health is taken, no one does anything.
Our privacy is taken, no one does anything.
Our voices are taken, no one does anything.
Our citizenships are taken, no one does anything.
The reason is apathy, which feeds inability, which feeds apathy, which feeds inability to do anything.
When our lives are taken, most people will be both ultimately unable and unwilling to do anything.
Even if people don’t know it outright, they feel it.
More than this, we feel a disappointment and a shame in our bones that can’t be shaken off because it is that outrageous and primal fear of losing anything more that drives our inaction, and so we feel ourselves to be cowards at our very core.
This is what grinds away at our souls daily.
When you eventually decide to do something, you will see you are no longer apathetic or unable. Your fears will begin to heal, and in this way it will save your soul. This is the power of courage. It is something you have to make for yourself, but hope is what drives it and hope is given.
No, haven’t had time to trouble shoot much unfortunately. If they need a scan they just use their phones at the moment which works fine, but I still have to investigate further.
There are more trees on earth by far than there are stars in the galaxy.
It pulls its data from open street map I believe, so it’s as useful as the community is capable of making it.
The name of a side street I know was missing so I made an account on open street map and added the name, soon after when they consolidated the data it’s there now.
This is both a good and bad thing. It means some stuff is not always up to date, but at the same time, for areas where people maintain it, I can see such fine detail that I can use the map to find out where there are things as small as trash cans, benches, and bike racks.
Sorry, but BOTH forks!?
How did you not notice the first one falling off?
Oh neat!
My script is for gnome, but I wonder if there us an equivalent gnome extension in existence as well.
I like this one.
I have a hard time with this and I also sleep with exceptionally good ear plugs.
My solution was to purchase an alarm clock made for people hard of hearing.
It has a mattress shaker in addition to a super loud alarm, either can be toggled. I typically use the mattress shaker. The first time I used it I sprung out of bed in a panic because I thought that the building was collapsing, so I can verify they are very effective.
Things you can do to prevent yourself from returning to sleep after disabling the alarm include putting your alarm at the foot of the bed instead of to the side of the bed (This way, you have to physically get up to go turn it off), and insuring it is warm in the room when you get up (If it is cold, you will instinctively want to go back underneath the covers). A space heater on a timer set to begin 15 minutes before your alarm goes off helps with this.
Another reason people don’t want to get up is because they have performed no real preparation for waking up. By this I mean to have your coffee machine timed to preheat just before you get up, set up your breakfast the night before so that it is easy to make and consume in the morning, have the clothes you intend to wear laid out so that its easy to get dressed, etc.
In short, it is generally good to make it difficult to keep sleeping, but also easier to wake up.
I have a terrible problem in my apartment with noise through the ceiling. I am curious what this is that you have installed as I havent seen any good options such as this. Can you take a picture of this or something? I would love to explore options to get rid of the noise.
It does look like obsidian to me. People like this or logseq a lot for their note taking. If you want a foss alternative, you can look at Joplin, though I can’t recall if it has a graphing feature like this out of the box.
