Maybe only using the pause timer would work. Once you start procrastinating, start the timer, allow yourself to do whatever but once the timer is done, back to work.

I even heard people being surprised it's not Geralt. When they were surprised I started to question myself if I just dreamed that they announced that wayyyy back.

Typically I get easily distracted or bored during movies. The only exception in recent years was Oppenheimer. It had such a fantastic pacing that the three hours rushed by and I didn't pick up my phone even once. It was incredible.

Or preferably: don't care about the game at all until it releases. Ignore previews or alpha demos, beta footage, gameplay trailers/teasers, etc. That way you don't build up hype that has a big chance to disappoint you. Take the game for what it is at release and either like it then or not.

Is that really a relevent attack vector in your day to day use, that full disk encryption wouldn't cover? My browser is rarely closed when I am on the PC, so it would be accessible (because unlocked).

Ah, good to know. Thanks!

There is some documentation in the forum about how to add new device support or where to request it. Read it and then decide what to do.

Even CD Project Red added such shit. Instead of directly launching Witcher or Cyberpunk I now have to go through a(nother) launcher now. Pointless.

Baldurs Gate 3 needed one from the beginning as well.

I don't get it.

What ZigBee Coordinator do you use? I know deconz and zigbee2mqtt have the ability to add support for new devices via config files. But that's a bit of a rabbit hole into the ZigBee protocol. They also have forums/issue trackers where one can request support for new devices.

Stalwart is 95% awesome. What holds me back is, that Mails are stored in a Database and not Maildir. Maildir is insanely trivial to backup incrementally and to restore individual mails if necessary. That currently holds me on dovecot.

But that's the neat thing: the system is well structured into different layers and subcomponents. They are not all involved to control lightbulbs; that's mostly your local hue bridge. One component will make sure, Alexa can control your bulbs (if you want that). If that component fails, only Alexa stops working. Another component handles push notifications to your mobile devices. If that fails, the rest is unimpacted. And so on.

That was, for a long time, the main reason I heavily recommended Hue: the bridge can be used completely offline and still offered a good local API and pairing system. Unfortunately last year that made online accounts a requirement. I assume besides the App you can still use many things even if your network connection is broken, though.

It's more comparable to Snikket. Both Snikket and Prose use Prosody as server with their own extensions.

 

Each time I try AMD graphics, something is fucked for me. Back with fglrx, fglrx just sucked, so I used Nvidia. Then I had an AMD right around when they finally had opensource drivers, but it was still buggy as hell. So I went with Nvidia again (first a GTX 790, then a GTX 1060). In the meantime I had a new work notebook where I also went with an AMD APU, and had driver crashes for a long time when I was in video calls and it had to decode multiple streams. That thankfully stabilized with Linux 6.4.

Since sooo many people in the community swear by AMD, I thought "dammit, let's try it again for my new desktop" and got an 7800rx ... and I have to reboot ~5 times until I finally make it to a running xserver or wayland session. Apparently I am hit by this problem (at least I hope so). But that doesn't even read nice ... the fix seems to be to revert another fix for powermanagement. So I either have a mostly non-booting card or suboptimal power management.

I start to regret having chosen AMD .... again :-/ I seem to be cursed.

"Entschuldigung, es tut mir leid, dass sich mit meinem Begriff 'Nazis' Menschen angesprochen fühlten, welche mit unserer jetzigen Regierung nicht einverstanden sind", schreibt Simmel in dem Text. "Deshalb ist man kein Nazi. Auch ich bin nicht mit unserer jetzigen Regierung einverstanden und hoffe auf Neuwahlen, welche unsere freiheitliche Demokratie stärken." Einige Menschen hätten sich durch die Formulierung angegriffen gefühlt; dafür entschuldige er sich.

Peter Simmel liebe Freiheit und Demokratie und setze sich dafür auch ein. "Nach meinem Verständnis sind Nazis Rechtsradikale, welche unsere Demokratie abschaffen wollen, die Hitlerzeit verherrlichen und in ein solch menschenverachtendes System zurückwollen", sagt er, "in ein System, in welchem Andersdenkende oder Menschen, die nicht bestimmten Vorgaben entsprachen, verfolgt und ermordet wurden."

Durch den Austausch mit Kunden habe er gelernt, dass sich viel mehr Menschen mit dem Wort Nazi identifizieren, als er dachte. "Wahrscheinlich auch deswegen, weil diese Menschen in der Vergangenheit vorschnell in die Nazi-Schublade gesteckt wurden, anstatt sich mit ihren Sorgen auseinandersetzen. Nur weil man gegen die jetzige Regierung ist, ist man selbstverständlich nicht automatisch ein Nazi."
