Upvoting for visibility, but this seems insane and impossible to me. When I take a cold shower, I can feel the water stealing the heat from my back, because it’s warmer when it hits my legs. It’s crazy.
It’s definitely taking heat away, for me, and I would die if I tried to take a hot shower on a hot day.
I start with a warm shower, like normal, then slowly turn it down until it’s nice and cool, almost cold. But not ice cold. Feel way better afterwards.
Is this different from !localllama@sh.itjust.works?
That community is quite active already, and helped me get up and running and interested in local LLMs.
It’s also much faster
Edit: you said that already lol sorry
Wiztree and Treesize are both much faster.
Windirstat is still relevant… But slow.
This is the way.
But I will say, the cheaper soaps tend to crack and disintegrate and make this harder to do.
As far as I understand it, you shouldn’t put peroxide on most, or maybe even any, wounds. It indiscriminately kills good and bad bacteria as well as your body’s cells. So it can make the wound take much longer to heal.
Similar, but I think different, with iodine. You shouldn’t use it in most cases.
The recommendation is to use warm soapy water to rinse/clean the wound really good. That’s all.
If the wound is deep enough or gnarly enough that this doesn’t seem reasonable? Well, peroxide wasn’t gonna help you anyway, go to the doctor.
I’m happy to be wrong here, to be corrected. But this is how I understand it.
Also I do keep peroxide in my cupboard, as well as rubbing alcohol. Their uses just aren’t for wounds.
My wife has one, I don’t like to use it, it’s too aggressive for me.
I can reach my back with my arms. To get the spot right between my shoulders I have to reach up and come down from the top with one arm, while using my other hand to grab my elbow and pull it to push my hand low enough to get it more effectively.
Why don’t you just get one beefy computer, then use something like Nucleus Co-op to split screen multiple sessions of the game on one TV?
Or if you’ve already got multiple copies of the game on multiple devices, you can use something like a multiviewer to split it up.
No need for a special TV in either case 😉
Oh! Lol I see the confusion. I meant I’m leaving the typo. I’m on my phone for 90% of Lemmy stuff. My phone autocorrected distros to Doritos. It was funny so I left it 😅
Sorry lol
Howdy! Hmmm, not sure I understand the first question. What put me off? So far I really like Bluefin. Most of my Linux experience prior to this was with Ubuntu, I’ve been tinkering with it since it’s second or third release. I also played with some lightweight Xfce based distros for a bit, I think it was the original damnsmalllinux?
At any rate, I daily drove Ubuntu for a year or so, every few years. I always faded away for various reasons, ending up back on Windows.
I’ve always had some flavor of Debian on a spare machine laying around somewhere though. My extremely unimpressive home server has always ran Ubuntu.
I toyed with arch on an old Chromebook, but that wasn’t for me at all.
I got a steam deck when they first came out, and that reinvigorated my desire to play with Linux on the desktop. But that still didn’t push me over the edge into installing it on my main machine.
I bought a framework 13, my first brand new laptop… Ever. Always went used or hand me downs. I decided it was time, I’m ready to go full Linux. I’m sick of all this win 11 crap.
So I did a lot of research, asked some questions around here, and ended up on bluefin. My main desire was stability. I’m not afraid of poking around in the command line, I’m fairly comfortable there for basic stuff. But my installs always seem to slowly acquire and accumulate… Issues. As I use them. Little things that build up, little issues that become show stoppers. I’ve never successfully (as in, without any issues at all) upgraded from one version of Ubuntu to the next.
Maybe that’s all Ubuntu’s fault? (I don’t care for it anymore, it’s not like it used to be) Or maybe it’s just a Linux thing? Or maybe I’m just more destructive than I realize?
At any rate, atomic/immutable seemed like the way to go for me. The second I heard about it, I was skeptical, but the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like it would solve my issues.
The core is stable, and unless I purposely dig into it, it’ll stay stable. Theoretically. Flat packs can come and go, but when I need my machine for something, it’ll be there and waiting.
I’ve only had it for a couple months now, and so far I love it. Recently I had to install zoom on it, there’s a flatpak. It’s… A little buggy, in some weird ways. Sluggish at times… But stable enough for what I need.
Most recently I installed OBS flatpak so I could screen record zoom. I expected issues, but I only had one tiny one, and a quick Google had me change one setting, and I was off. No issues. Felt good.
I’m running gimp and audacity, rythmbox, and others I can’t think of. So far so good.
I AM having a reoccurring issue with Firefox, suddenly it will crash every new tab I open until I restart it. But I haven’t looked into that yet, been too busy. That’s pretty annoying when it happens.
And yes I meant distro boxes, the one that basically installs a simultaneous version of another distro, and it shares your home folder? Works pretty well for what I need thus far, which was just to run git to compile some project files.
But I’m also running boxes, the VM. I have a couple highly specific, and therefore identifying so I won’t be sharing them here, windows apps that I need. One can’t run in proton, the other is connected to a delicate shared database I’d rather not corrupt, so I’m just doing what I have to do. At the end of the day, a computer is a tool, and I’m gonna do what I gotta do to do what I gotta do. But when I can ditch windows completely, I will.
Sorry for the wall of text, hopefully that answers your questions 😅
Edit: oh one last thing. I do wish I had gone with a kde variant. I recently learned that you can still do some of the compiz window management tricks in plain kde. I miss those.
I, too, am experimenting with immutable Doritos.
I’m running Bluefin, so far I’m quite pleased. Anything needing deeper access or only available in package form, I’ve been able to run in boxes.
Edit: I’m leaving it
Used to use a double edge razor from the 1960s, I still have it. Gillette Slim.
I just use a modern DE instead, 2015 I think. Feather AS-D2.
Both of them will probably outlast me. Especially the Feather, even though it’s newer and therefore theoretically made with less care, it was made in Japan, and it’s entirely stainless steel, not pot metal. Very strong. You’d need to run it over with a truck to break it.
If cared for, nothing is stopping the Gillette from going another 60 years either.
This is me, except even more trusting 🤷♂️
I’ve definitely pulled my hair out with docker too. Banged my head against the wall for a couple days before finally giving up.
I’m not ridiculously tech savvy, but I’ve tinkered with Linux since I was young, daily drive it on my laptop. I’m not afraid of the command line, and I’m smart enough to search for help and guides when I need it.
But something about docker just breaks my brain. Maybe I’m too old and there’s too much abstract thought required, I don’t know. But I can’t figure it out.
It’s an interesting trend these days, people wearing headphones and earbuds everywhere they go.
It’s not my preference, and I get that it’s a personal choice.
I agree there are definitely times where it makes sense, alone at the gym for example.
But I see groups of kids walking around, most of them with at least one or both headphones/earbuds on/in, and I’m like, what are you listening to? I can’t imagine doing that.
But obviously some people like it, it’s just not me 🤷♂️
It’s funny, my brain scanned right over that, I could’ve sworn he said crumple because I expected crumple
Oh man, I’m gonna look into this. I’m currently running Bluefin, but maybe I’ll pivot over to Aurora 🤔
Thanks!
Window units are the best bang for the buck. Don’t worry about expensive ones, $100 goes a LONG way to cooling one bedroom. And it’s cheaper than doing the whole house.
We have a big in wall unit in our apartment that can do the whole living space, but we hardly ever run it. We just run the bedroom one, set to like 70-75f, just to take the humidity out and chill it down a bit. A nice place to go cool down if you get hot while doing things around the house. We don’t run it when we’re not home, because even the cheapest Menards special can cool the room down in minutes, and it’s cheaper to not run it when we don’t need it.
Beware of the units with the hose… You’re paying more, and trading the convenience of not lugging a big unit into the window (small ones really aren’t that bad), for the inconvenience of having to dump the water (unless you pay more for one that can pump it out the window).
But by far the worst thing about the hose units, if they only have one exhaust hose, and no return hose? They are less efficient, because they create negative pressure in your house that sucks hot air in through every crack.
