Chances are many are still working. They're combining eating with socialising with peers in the hundreds of bars and restaurants and discussing many things, including work related stuff... which is a lot healthier than always eating alone at your desk.

They'll only have the "medicinal" tea if even more Lüften didn't do the trick
Only in a two-party system. Locked in a two party system is the death of it. At least introduce multiple rounds, to democratically elect the 2 contestants for the final round...
Of all possible next targets he could choose, Finland , Norway or Sweden would be the dumbest ever. These countries are prepared, always have been. It would be fucking hard, even without NATO. The next targets would more likely be other not well affiliated countries like Moldova, Georgia. Then Baltics.
can you cite a source on the spies dying a few days after he met Putin? Not saying it's not true, just curious.
The people you meet while travelling are not the average people. The average American never travels to another state, let alone to other continents... Same is true for many people in many countries: Asians visiting Europe are top % of population in wealth and brains. It's dissapointing and depressing but fox probably gives you a more true picture of average Americans than Americans you meet while travelling.
Even if you'ld wait until rain stops and even if you don't go off road: there's puddles on bike paths after it has rained!
German homes are relatively okay insulated. Very remote: burn wood or some sort of wood pellet stuff. Not clean, but it is local and renewable. Less remote: heat pumps, runs on electricity. Cities: many are planning/extending heat nets, those can be partially powered by left over heat from industry. And import nuclear electricity from France in winter I guess!
I agree but not on the debt free part. Mortgage loan at 1,45%, savings rate at 2,4 %: I'll not try to get out of that debt sooner than planned, thank you very much :')
Newpipe breaks very often for me. Freetube breaks less
In case you're doubting about doing it: do it. It's fine.
But don't make the mistakes I made :')
- don't "recycle" an old microSD with osmc or some other system still on it. Start from scratch.
In fact, I bought a new SD card. 32 GB costs a ridiculous 7 €. It's worth not taking the risk with some old one that's possibly been flashed many times before. I'm quite sure some blocks on the one i was using previous were corrupted.
-
don't use raspbian, osmc, debian, ... Use DIETPI. Possibly raspbian lite. It's the absolute minimal system you can get, with a focus on home-servering whatever you want on a rpi. This is the way. It's disabling sending power to whatever is on there that you'll never be using anyhow. Including the option to fully disable local hdmi output, absolutely no local audio-out support, etc. Squeezing all these little ones for sure pays off on a rpi 3 or older.
-
video streaming works fine! Better than local video playing used to be with the osmc/kodi install years ago on the exact same pi. Mkv HVEC H264 at 4.4 Mbps with AC3 sound 384 Kbps: plays smooth in browser. Sure, it's not what you want if you're doing the ultrahd 4K i don't know what, but is good enough for me.
-
invest in the silly cooling accessories. It is worth it. Putting a tiny deskfan on the pi within a minute drops temperature 15-20 °C, while libraryscanning + videostreaming... Glue the cooling elements (1 € or even less) on the chips, buy the tiny fan or a case with fan built in. It's another 6-12 € that is more than worth it.
-
stay away from HDD. They eat lots of energy. SSD is worth it. Even if HDD has external power source: they are slow as fuck, takes a while for disks to start spinning. They're still usefull, as back-up. Another reason to go the DIETPI-way: the back-up disk / live disk shit is easy peasy built in there! No messing around searching how to set that up. Same with (auto-)mounting drives in general by the way.
-
The only downside so far: the Nordvpn-meshnet approach for remote access was a bit more annoying. It's not integrated in the dietpi-vpn (or not yet). So you gotta install nordvpn seperately and make that work.
TL;DR: DIETPI !!!
Hi, my laptop got fried because of getting caught in the rain :(
I got a gaming laptop for work a few years ago, because appearantly the CPU AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX was about the best thing to be found for updating some ridiculously complicated excel power query circusses at work, according to the internet back then (i think I found that info on pc master race on reddit before the reddit-api-fall), and finding those CPU's in business laptops was rather difficult at the time. They were right, this CPU handled the queries like a walk in the park.
Is the AMD Ryzen 9 6900H* still a very good CPU for this kind of thing, or should I put in a lot more time investigating again, is there better cost-efficiency available now in other CPU?
Sorry if this is not a right place for this question. I'm usually not really a hardware guy. Just need a CPU that handles this Excel shit as fast as possible, preferably without locking up the entire machine and without being as noisy as an F16 getting ready for lift off. On "regular" work laptops with i5 or i7, these files can take literally over an hour to update.
For example on wikipedia for Switzerland it says the country has an area of 41,285 km². Does this take into account that a lot of that area is actually angled at a steep inclination, thus the actual surface area is in effect larger than what you would expect when looking onto a map in satellite view?
Use UBlock, sponsorblock, firefox, etc. Recently it broke again, some stupid permission to connect youtube to other google services pop-up is permablocking it and I can't be bothered investigating.
Go to FreeTube cause why not. Works rather well for how it works. Especially for listening to albums it is fine, for video it's often too slow.
They found a way to inject bullshit in there too, now? And basically everywhere.
Albums are sometimes uploaded as 1 long video. Those are fun. Often they're uploaded as all songs seperately and then there's a playlist which makes it 'the album'. They used to be okay too.
Not anymore. People started injecting bullshit videos within the playlists. No, Andrew fucking Tates bullshit is not part of this album. Fuuuu. ANDREW I CAN'T STAY FUCKING MOTIVATED BECAUSE SOME ARSEHOLE INJECTED YOUR BULLSHIT VIDEO INTO THE MUSIC PLAYLIST I'LD LIKE TO LISTEN TO WITHOUT YOUR BULLSHIT INTERRUPTIONS!
I need to work on permanently replacing youtube. It no longer serves its purpose (for me of listening to albums) reliably.
Hi, First, is it possible to set the steamdeck to "default" to always keep picking the steamdeck speaker as default audio out also when an HDMI is connected through the USB-C? I have an old monitor (VGA to HDMI to USB-C haha) and would be easiest to still just output audio in the steamdeck speaker by default. It is easy to switch audio outputs in desktopmode, not in gaming mode unfortunately can't switch to steamdeck speaker there, doesn't work.
Second, how do y'all combine music and games? I prefer to play games while listening to youtube full albums (freetube or similar) in background. Doesn't really seem to integrate well in gaming mode either? Tried adding Monophony and Freetube as non-steam games, but not very succesful. What's your suggestion for optimizing the setup?
Sorry for the noob-questions. Pic unrelated, sort of.
Society's got priorities wrong.
-
most car travels are 1 person or sometimes 2 person
-
the majority of car travels are quite short, less than 40km.
-
many car travels are just to get some groceries or drop of a little package or just say "hi" to someone, carrying nothing but themselves.
-
cars are fucking expensive, to buy and to maintain
-
accidents become way worse with heavier vehicles
Microcar is a valid answer to all of these, while still being sheltered from weather.
How are urban places (i'm in Belgium) with almost permanent super heavy road traffic congestion, bad climate statistics, high polution values, very limited available space left, no self-sustaining energy production and high traffic accident statistics still pooring in billions and billions in subsidies year after year into "regular" big heavy SUV-like vehicles instead of these? It's beyond my comprehension. The only real valid reason i somewhat get is the collective scare of being in a crash and not wanting to be in the smaller vehicle. We could save the climate, we choose not to.

A lot of people here casually spend more on a sunday racing bike every few years for fucks sake.
I'm not young. But 25 years after the hype, I am finally getting around to playing half life (1)! Stupidly missed the free action, but paid a few eurocents for it. They're totally worth it! Awesome game, holds up very very well after two and a half decades!
Entschuldigung, wenn dies nicht der richtige Ort für diese Frage ist, aber weiß jemand, warum diese Aufstriche von Lidl verschwunden sind? Die in den Glasdosen. Lidl, bitte bring sie zurück. Ich danke euch.

Things are very different this time around. They have a lot more power and are a lot more prepared. Trump isn't capable, the gang around him definitely is.
