What are y'all up to today? (iusearchlinux.fyi)

Just felt like getting to know our little community a bit better.

I got up extra early today to take my husband to the airport this morning after his flight was rebooked from yesterday evening. He's headed to Germany for a big birthday celebration with his peers from growing up. I think it's super cool they are all still friends with each other!

I'm also working from home using a computer that unfortunately isn't running Arch, but if it were running Arch, I would definitely tell you.

I mostly spent today being tired at work after getting sunburned yesterday and having one too many beers. Nothing too awful, though.

This weekend I might play around with LlamaIndex (in Arch of course) or attempt once again to get a comfy Neovim setup.

The heat is so bad here, and I'm doing concrete work outside, so the past few nights I've been working at night. Last night I mixed and poured 50 bags (4,000 pounds or two tons dry weight) by myself. Was working until past midnight.

Today I'm totally dead, made myself sick. Could barely get out of bed up until an hour ago (3pm).

Currently using my arch based workstation PC to watch YouTube videos on my TV.

In about 2 hours I'm leaving to meet some friends to play DnD

Oh yikes!!! Are you doing work on your house, or are you a contractor for someone? That is a LOT of concrete!

Hope you are feeling better. Maybe get some water and electrolytes?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh believe me i know! I downed two servings of Pedialyte before I went to bed lol.

And a bit of both, Im living in a friend's cabin he just bought, and as long as I'm fixing the place up I don't pay rent or utilities!!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Oh that's nice, very cool!

Just signed up here, wanted to see what Lemmy was like. I did use Lemmy.world but it has issues logging in while this instance, uh, didn't. Also really like the domain lmao

It's awsome when friends stay in touch and make such efforts to meet.

I worked on my lemmy css (on an arch based distro). And I just watched the blair witch project for the first time (on an arch based distro). That movie is insane. The acting is just real

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You know, I've never watched Blair Witch. It sounds like I should do so for Halloween this year though...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Watch it anytime you want, but maybe not right before your next hike

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ha! Good advice, thank you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am just chilling at work being bored as hell as there is nothing to do at the moment. I wish I could work from home. 1 hour and 15 minutes before I am finally done for the week.

I hope your husband has a great trip and birthday!

I am hoping to have the time to install Arch on my 2 new SSDs I got (one for laptop that I got because the original was too small and one for my desktop because the SSD that I use there currently has weird issues) over the weekend so I can also finally say that I use Arch btw and not just Arch based btw. I have no idea when I will find the time for it but I gotta do it half for the memes and half because I am sick of Manjaros BS.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Thanks! Me too.

What constitutes Manjaro's BS?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The website that narshee sent, but I also I keep having some really strange issues all the time so I am hoping that improves. We will see :)

Very informative, thank you

got a gum graft a couple days ago, everyone told me the roof of my mouth where the donor tissue came from would be where it hurts but that's fine. my gums feel like they've been stabbed by an exacto knife vertically so i'm sitting here at work, regretting leaving my WFH cake IT job for better pay while sipping on ice water that tastes like a swimming pool hoping the swelling goes down or my face starts to go numb like the rest of me is inside.

My periodontist uses windows btw, probaby why it hurts so much.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Ouchhh. I hope it starts feeling better soon.

I have a harcut booked in a couple hours, after 8 years of having long, luscious, metalhead hair. I honestly have no idea what to ask for other than "short"

I’m also working from home using a computer that unfortunately isn’t running Arch, but if it were running Arch, I would definitely tell you.

We know. Oh, we know xD

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How did the haircut go? What did you get?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It went well. Got it short on the sides and a bit longer on the top. Not sure what its called this style. Its going to take me a few days to get used to myself even though i like it :D

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Glad you like it! Why did you decide to cut it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It was just getting too much. Too much trouble with cleaning the apartment, too much trouble in the shower/drying, too much trouble when it would get loose from the elastic and get all in my face... Just oo much xD

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I feel you. I always get the urge to hack my hair off during hiking season... Let's see if I can keep it this year 😅

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depending on how long it is and how long you've had it (time/effort invested in growing it out), then it might make more sense to shorten it for the summer and let it grow back later. shrug

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Chuck it in the fuck-it bucket and move on 👍

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've never heard that phrase before xD

I. LOVE. IT!

im stealing it

I just installed the latest Thunder update (a cross-plattform Lemmy app using flutter) and am now able to create posts and comments :D

It’s currently 11:30PM in Germany and I'll go to bed soon!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Welcome! Glad you're here!
