Pretty much every day except on weekends

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.

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.

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

Doesn’t work well for thicker beverages like milkshakes or iced coffee’s. But for most drinks i agree no straw is best.

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.

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

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.

You don’t, if you’re relatively close to the server latency is a non issue for most games.

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.

Yet, theres a looming threat of generative AI heavily disrupting the job landscape for many people.

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.

Or, you know, right click on most mice will work. I wouldn’t want to game on a trackpad anyway.

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

50% of video game players makes sense to me, depending on what you count as a video game player. If, say, it was anyone who’s played any video game in the last year, I believe be about right. Sims, among us, the dinosaur game in chrome, wordle, etc. it adds up

Men probably dedicate more time to gaming and make it a bigger part of our lives, hence why it would seem more common.

To add, open source projects tend to give YOU more control over the data (if not the mainline version, some fork will probably exist. Its far more profitable to target a big company for a ransom than an average Joe. Obviously, as long as you don’t fall for one of the classic blunders.

for sure a proxmox server is great, id just say don’t go for the cluster just yet. Frankly, most self hosted stuff is dockerized and thats a huge plus. And it seems you already have that sorted out (id even ask you if casa OSs fileshare and an external drive could handle the NAS aspect).

I say this not to be a killjoy, but because I have a proxmox node I both overbuilt (for small services and running off a UPS) and underbuilt (for multiple big VMs) all because bought it to, and i kid you mot, “use it for NAS, and a window VM and run other random things that I don’t know yet”. 2 years in and i still don’t know what those random things are.

So, my two cents: start cheap get a node to learn and understand where you want to go from there.
