I’d go somewhere in-between to keep things dry.
Condensation around windows and outer walls make great growing grounds for mold. 15°C is the recommendation here.
Shit can happen. Boilers break. Leave your faucets dripping and run your circulation pump off of a battery and inverter to save your pipes.
A lot of software did not run under windows NT4. Especially stuff that used the soundblaster directly.
Plug-n-play never worked, and drivers for hardware usually only came on floppy for DOS/win3/win95.
For some reason USB-drivers were not installed by default, either. That’s after swapping through 18 diskettes during installation. Just copy it all if you’re going to have me be a human jukebox.
I don’t use make-up, but I make an exception for the soap from the hardware store.
My routine goes a bit like this:
I do this as necessary, but at least before Christmas and midsummer (even if not necessary).
Currently on a CMF phone 1.
Best phone is a tie between Nokia E70 or the HTC Dream. Suitable form factors and physical keyboards <3
I’m driving a 2007 which I guess I’ll move on from in a couple of years. I loathe the day when my only options are cars that get OTA updates.
Everything smart has shown their true colours about altering the deal. My TV didn’t use to have ads on the home screen. Now it’s 80% of it.
I wanted to name my daughter Zelda. Mrs Pano vetoed it.
The Z makes it sound sexy. Also Moxy got shot down.
I have two accounts with the same bank in two different EU-countries.
I need to call them to get interrogated for 20 minutes to get international transfers enabled for 24 hours, and for my other account as recipient only.
Revolut sounds like a dream for anyone who cares about their sovereignty. I hate being baby-sat by my bank.
Can’t live without water. Our guidelines are to be prepared to be self-sufficient for up to three days in an an emergency.
I used to have a 20l jug of water on standby, and I’ve had to resort to it twice in eight years because of one planned and one unplanned outage. For the unplanned one my municipality eventually showed up with a water truck on our street so we could refill.
Now I keep 50 litres and I have a well with my neighbours which I use mostly for watering the garden, but it’s potable. In a prolonged power outage situation I might have to scurry over to the neighbour with a battery and an inverter to keep the pump going.
Integrated GPU is not a dirty word anymore.
AMD’s system-on-a-chips with RDNA2/3 pack almost the same punch as the discrete cards with the same architecture. See steamdeck as the prime example, but there’s quite a few boards, boxes and laptops with the same.
My desktop, laptop and homelab all synd my important stuff over syncthing. They all do btrfs snapshots three months back in case an oopsie would propagate.
The homelab additionally fetches deduplicated snapshots of my VPS weekly, before syncing all of the above to an encrypted hetzner storage for those burning-down-the-house events.
instead of healthcare
Where in the world are you? In my part my tax money goes far enough to pay for both. And free university studies so that no one has to take loans.
I was walking on the sidewalk at a traffic-lighted intersection when I heard a loud bang.
I turn around to see a Honda had rear-ended a Volvo 240 that had stopped at a red light. The front of the Honda looked like a piece of crumpled up paper wrapped up nicely on the 240’s tow bar. The 240 was unscathed.
GalliumOS is x86/64 only, and has been deprecated for years. Mainline distros have good support for the Chromebook quirks now.
Cadmium, on the other hand.
INFO: What filesystem does your source drive/partition have?
For an external display I’d bet the case is the hardware driver for the panel.
At least my 17" Powerbook G4 with a massive 2560x1440 display does it in the software display driver. I’m sure some laptop panels do it in hardware as well, but seems there’s some very janky shit going on at least with laptops that have both integrated and discrete GPUs.
My PowerBook G4 might be a bit dated, but running other resolutions than native is quite heavy on that thing. Your built-in display can handle one resolution only - anything else will require upscaling.
Your GPU can probably do that upscaling for cheap. But cheaper than rendering your desktop applications? 🤷♂️
You’ll have to benchmark your particular device with powertop.
Last time they tried to wage arctic warfare they lost more men to the cold than bullets and artillery.
My wife is definitely team ‘make it from scratch’.
She is also a very slow cook. We also have an infant that is currently taking up 110% of our time.
It’s hard for me to justify spending two hours a night preparing a lunch for the next day. She likes to sleep in, so I never get to eat it fresh… it’s always leftovers.
I don’t mind cooking something fresh for lunch or dinner, but I’ll do something that takes 20 minutes of prep and then take care of itself on the stove or in the oven. Chilli, pot roast, or a casserole.
I think frozen dinners probably have a better balance of protein/carbs/veg than either of us makes, and at half the price.
