Is this guard supposed to be slacking off on the job?

It works on Firefox EndeavourOS

At least that's what I aim for in Civ VI.
No idea about you

What if it were 10/100 Gb/s ?

For LibreOffice, I'd go with, worse and better at the same time.

  • I have just noticed, overtime, that it has some problems in some cases, where MS Office does better, while there are certain cases where it does better.

There are 2 major pain points though:

  1. Calc UI stutters when using the scrollbar with mouse click and drag.
  2. Adding images to files makes the whole thing way slower than acceptable.

I haven't used it for a few months though, so something might have changed. But the second issue specifically is a long time one.

On the other hand, the formula usages are much better in Calc. Also, the documents don't get wonky between versions as much as MS Office

Of course I visited the hospital for a CT scan.

Of course I'm not telling you to hit your head for fun.

This is just a fun story, not evidence for anything.

People have survived failed parachutes. Doesn't mean we can all be Alex Mercer.

That's why I keep a pen and paper. For power outages.

Apart from that, if there's light:

  • some exercise
  • kirigami
  • wash clothes (by hand)
  • eat random (edible) stuff which I would otherwise use to cook
    • cooking needs electricity

No light:

  • sleep

So I once slipped on a puddle while jogging (in the wrong place) and hit the back of my head on sedimentary tiles.
Since I had stiffened my neck, trying to stretch it backward (yes I was doing that while jogging on wet tiles), my head hit the ground hard.
After about 2 minutes, I fainted for ~10 seconds. Was fine later.

If we still had the problems, we could use stuff from riot armour.

to non-essential expenses, like teambuilding events

Yeah, sometimes you just gotta tell them that teambuilding isn't going to do shit when opening any more than 4 MS Words make the computer stop.

I remember having cramped hands when trying to write fast in examinations. This would the the modern analogue.

Sony seems to have a pretty workable strategy now.

  1. Want to acquire a company for cheaper.
  2. Make news that they are going to acquire.
  3. Target company's sales plummet, because gamers don't want Sony DRM
  4. Cheap company to buy.

So unless FromSoftware releases a statement claiming they won't be bought by Sony, I'm not buying any more of their stuff.

I have a multiboot system. One of the installed OS's does not use the NVMe SSD installed on the motherboard at all.
At the time of taking the screenshot, all the SSD partitions are unmounted, so apart from detection, the SSD is mostly unused.

  • I would like the temps to drop down to SYSTIN (≈35°C) levels.
  • I know, it's right next to my GPU, but I am not doing anything GPU intensive, the GPU temps are ~37°C ^[apart from GPU memory, which is 48°C due to the awful AMD 7th gen Zero RPM, which has no workarounds on Linux]

For the unmounted and unused HDDs, I just use hdparm -Y, but there seems to be nothing in terms of that for the SSD. And even though I appreciate the additional heat in winters, this is going to be too expensive for me. I'd rather burn some cheap Nichrome than my data storage device.

I checked out a Debian forum thread and from that, I checked the following:

❯ sudo nvme get-feature /dev/nvme0 -f 2 -H
get-feature:0x02 (Power Management), Current value:0x00000004
        Workload Hint (WH): 0 - No Workload
        Power State   (PS): 4

Showing it is already in the lowest power state.

I have no active cooling setup for the SSD from my side. This becomes relevant soon.

  • Checking the SSD temps (using the same widget as in the image), the temperature on Sensor 2 starts out at ~40°C (after a normal reboot) and slowly increases to >50°C as shown at the start of the graph. Power State (PS) is still 4.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager, which probably does some reading to check the partition information, at 50°C stage, causes a temperature drop, as shown in the image.

  • Running KDE partitionmanager right after reboot, when the temperature is increasing very sloowly, seems to do nothing significant.


  • Turns out that after a few minutes of System Standby, the SSD doesn't return to PS: 4, so I have the culprit.
  • Running partitionmanager after that causes it to go back to PS: 4

So we have a solution! All I need to do is run partitionmanager on wake. nlol jk


Motherboard: MSI MAG X570S TORPEDO MAX (MS-7D54)
SSD: Samsung 980 512GB (correct firmware, bought long before the fakes started coming out)

Until he actually had to use it.

Took 2 hours of reading through examples just to deploy the site.
Turns out, it is hard to do even just the bash stuff when you can't see the container.
