Maybe not related but I had an issie with wireplumber where it would suddenly take up any free CPU resources and use them up, jacking up my cpu usage up to crazy high numbers, often to 100% at times where the expected cpu usage would be at 20% at most.
I haven’t experienced this in the last week or so, so maybe it was fixed in an update? I’m on Fedora, btw. I just wanted to share, so I can find out if anyone else had the same issue.
Aren’t System76 essentially rebranded Clevo laptops? Where do you find Clevo machines at an actually good price?
Okay, I’ve wanted to do the same thing for ages. Time to follow up my words with action!
You can Install more fonts, but not all of them are any good.
Yup. I’ve done it myself when I switched to Gitlab. It’s really straightforward.
If only. I’m a student living in student accommodation. I can’t set up a NAS because hosting things on the network is against their policy, and I also wouldn’t feel comfortable having that type of hardware in my room. And if electricity bills skyrocket because of me, I’ll be forced to pay them.
What’s a safe place to buy storage online? I’ve seen horror stories of an sd card in a drive enclosure, and modifying the storage to make it appear larger than it is.
Are cheap
Yeah, right. I know they’re cheaper than they were but they can’t be that cheap.
finds a high-speed 2tb m.2 from Kingston (a brand I trust) for £120
I stand corrected.
Polarize the people, controversy is the king! It doesn’t matter if they hate you, if they all say your name!

(Ren - Money Game Part 2)
At 1:38 is the beginning of the infamous “she sells sea shells” part that was spread on social media. To understand the quote, at the very least, start watching here, but I’d still vastly recommend the entire thing.
The quote itself is at the sentence starting at 2:37 -2:48
I’ve just realized there’s an animated series on Youtube, that I’ve had a really hard time (read: impossible) finding anywhere else, and if LEGO (yes, I’m talking about Ninjago) decides to delete these videos from their channels, the OG seasons are nowhere to ve found as far as I can tell. Yes, there are some cartoon streaming services but those are few in number and getting fewer, so I wouldn’t bet on them or any new ones that spring up having that content available in 5-10 years. And that’s worrying. Time to download all 15 seasons and store them somewhere! (oh shit, I don’t have enough space, do I)
Edit: found them on a downloads site from the piracy megathread, but only Seasons 1-11. I’ll get them all soon enough.
Edit 2: The first 11 seasons from that website come up to just over 105GB and I don’t have the space. Do I buy a 256GB USB/ Drive to store this at? I’m scared that I’m getting to the point of becoming a data hoarder. Not too long ago, I didn’t know what I’d do with my single 32GB USB, now I have added a 128GB one, and a 64GB Ventoy usb to the mix, and I still don’t have enough. Wtf?
Wait, when you say Republicans, do you mean the organisation that Americans currently call the Grand Old Party, the GOP, the modern Republican Party? If so, I find it ironic that the party standing for freedom has evolved into the party that shields and encourages racists and criminals.
In terms of pirated versions, has anyone managed to get more modern versions of Office or Photoshop working from pirated versions? I’ve been quite curious about it for a while.
A lot of minor things:
We’re starting a grpup project in uni this year. 3/8 team members met, 1 couldn’t be there, 2 we found online but didn’t get a response from. The other 2 are a mystery. A large chunk of our grade depends on picking our favourite one of 48 projects, which we can’t do cuz we don’t know half the team, and their interests and skillset. Also, I’m feeling massive impostor syndrome. I wasn’t too serious last year, so now I feel like I don’t know anything (I know quite a bit but not nearly to the level I’d be expected to, in any relevant area).
I’m still having a hard time socialising. Last year, I didn’t do any going out or socialising, even though I was in the perfect environment for it, with flatmates that were going out. This year, flatmates are older, and they’re either in relationships, or just too focused on studying, or they just don’t want to go clubbing necessarily. I have high libido (teen hormones, what can you do) so I want to find a girl but it’s just not going to happen if I don’t go out (and dating apps produced no results so far, I’ve been on them for a year). So what’s the solution? Going out by myself, and looking like a lone weirdo, making approaching girls (did mention I have 0 experience with this) even more difficult?
My flat is a slight upgrade in some areas, and an annoying downgrade in others. It’s an upgrade in storage space within my room. The wardrobe and drawers are more spacious, to the point where I could properly fit all my clothes and didn’t have to think of what to stash under the bed. BUT the drawers were built by a maniac, who left them looking like they were taken straight out of a wacky animation, or something like Hello Neighbour, one goes left and down, the other goes right and down, the remaining is right and up, and they all conflict each other and I have to lift one up to open the other. Also, the extra space in my room has been traded for virtually no space in the kitchen. One and a half cupboards for all my stuff and barely a fridge shelf? At least I got a full freezer shelf.
Also, the sudden onset of a sore throat for seemingly no reason a few hours ago has left me slightly concerned. It may or may not be combined with a slightly stuffy nose.
I’m still trying and failing to get off social media, to get myself to do the right thing immediately, instead of just spending a bunch of time dealing with other stuff, or musing on whether this is the right thing, whether it’s the most efficient way, etc. cuz it’s a waste of time.
And I still can’t fix my sleep schedule. But that’s mainly a lack of discipline and the presence of procrastination.
Good idea, but I couldn’t find it
I’ll just link another user’s response to a similar question, as I don’t think I could ever say it better myself: https://corndog.social/comment/3216441
Good to hear that they’re better at power efficiency. What’s potentially concerning however, is whether that would lead to manufacturers just using smaller batteries. I want my 80 or 99 Wh battery for the longest battery life! I’ll heed your advice and wait to see where things go.
How slow, because I neved noticed
Trust me, it’s noticeable. Or at least it was for me. Numbers wise, it doesn’t sound like much, but the difference between 0.05s and 0.5s (which are roughly the times I was experiencing) is very noticeable, at least for me. One is done before you’ve even fully lifted the finger off the key, while with the other you’re preparing to press (or maybe you’re already pressing pressing) the next key, by the time you see a reaction.
Your mileage may vary.
Well, I certainly agree that Markdown is a lot more popular. I just wanted to hear your opinion on it.
I used to have a bottle of water but I drank it, so… bed?
