Some hurdles are so hard to overcome, I tend to give up at one point.

No Man's Sky. Keeps drawing me in.

Homeworld 1, 2, Cataclysm. Forget the latest one.

Need for Speed Most Wanted.

Horizon 1 & 2

So many more...

Really wish they would have extended that game. So much potential and then they seemed to have given up.

Are we judging people on what they did and said over 10 years ago? If so, then that says more about the one judging than the one judged.

This makes me happy. 🙂

SVN is still great if there is a need for strict access controls and central control matters a lot. Auditing is also a bit easier with SVN.

It caters more for a linear workflow, though. So modern large teams won't find joy with SVN.

Gitlab, Gogs, Gitea... you can run all those locally.

Basically some reasonableness.

Set boundaries. Meaning you probably should choose specific times to check the news. You could for instance check once in the morning and once in the evening. Or even only on specific days.

Also curate your sources. Follow outlets that offer reasonably balanced reporting. Misinformation and sensationalism are your sanity’s worst enemies. For example, don't get your news from social media (as is so common with many and which leads to a host of other issues...).

Try to avoid doomscrolling. If scrolling starts feeling like sinking, it’s ~~okay~~ necessary to stop. You really don’t need to absorb every detail to be informed.

And just something I personally found is to balance bad with good news. Spend time with positive stuff. Even in this timeline there's good to be had.

The Mayonnaise part was hard to watch... 🤢

You should post this in unpopular opinion and add a reason or three. It'll make your day.

3.1 looked terrible.

2000 was stable and looked decent for it's time. Enjoyed the look of 10, but behind the scenes it was invasive. 11 is terrible on the looks* and the invasiveness.

*) seriously... it looks dated and cluttered after using something like Gnome for a while

 

So, I did a thing - accidentally selected my 5TB external NTFS hard drive (encrypted with VeraCrypt) as the target for writing an ISO. The moment I noticed that "Impression" had switched the drive letter, I immediately killed the process. But yeah… damage done.

Now, the situation:

  • Currently shows up as:
    • 6 MB FAT
    • 4.3 GB
    • 2 TB unallocated
    • 2.6TB unallocated
  • The VeraCrypt volume obviously no longer mounts.
  • Drive was somewhat crucial - lots of structured data I’d really prefer to recover with the original file system intact.

I know chances are slim, especially with encrypted volumes, but has anyone had luck recovering from something like this? I’m open to commercial recovery tools or command-line wizardry. Would love to hear from anyone who’s been down this road.

Any thoughts or recommendations?
