One thing about monitors lasting so long is that it feels good that I’m not making e-waste from monitors every time I upgrade my computer. For the 25 years I’ve been using desktops I’ve only bought 3 monitors, I can’t say that about the rest of my computer hardware.
I hear you there. Almost every meeting presentation room I use still requires my usb-c to vga adapter and I just have to live with it. It’s the natural state of such places I think. It feels so amazing when I can plug directly into my laptop without an adapter. And yea I agree, they are a headache.
This seems like a non issue dramatised for headlines, they are phasing out outdated sata connection to only favour current m.2.
It’s like gpu and motherboard manufacturers announcing they are no longer including VGA ports in favour of DVI display port and HDMI. I don’t think that was a bad thing.
I’m sure some people who are lucky enough to have hardware that still requires SATA want to keep upgrading to new SATA devices but it’s been enough time. I’m ok with just m.2 now.
I’d get one if there was a good open source os I could easily flash on one of these that made these actually useful and ad free.
Wow thank you for this. This looks so much nicer than portainer.
Subscribing to these communities is so helpful because of discovery like this.
Only the opposite has ever happened for me.
If anyone has the GPUs to self-host LLMs to spam the shit out of them, it’s gamers. Gotta get on an easy-to-self-host project to distribute to the community 😄
I love it when people can reason like this. Thanks for the constructive post.
Exactly my feelings.
I appreciate that people have found solutions for avoiding materials that can become dangerous when overheated. I, too, have gone on PFOA-free journeys.
But oh my god, that egg is swimming in oil! I don’t want that many calories, and I don’t want to feel a greasy egg in my mouth.
I understand this solution is great for many people, and they should be proud and happy that they have reached their Teflon-free goals.
But as a person who can’t digest high amounts of fats without consequences and watches their calories, this is only a solution for people who love bathing their food in oil. I also avoid saturated fats, which are superior for their non-stick properties. I want to use olive oil, nothing else.
But fine, I will try it on my stainless pan and see what happens. Olive oil, heat to smoke, wipe, then a small amount of olive oil again for normal cooking.
If it works I’ll be thrilled. If not, back to my trusty teflons that never fail me. Wish me luck! Got any more tips?
Dear Wikipedia, you are welcome here in Canada!
Oh my god, somebody finally found a way for me to leave calibre?
Can’t wait to install this.
As people age, their thirst reflex tends to diminish or reduce. There are a few reasons for this:
The hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates body functions like thirst, becomes less sensitive to changes in the body’s water levels. As a result, older adults do not feel thirsty even when their bodies need more water.
Kidneys become less effective at concentrating urine as one ages. This means older kidneys lose more water during the process of filtering and eliminating waste from the blood. However, the reduced thirst reflex does not signal the body to drink more water to compensate for this loss.
Levels of hormones like vasopressin, which help the kidneys conserve water, tend to decrease with age. This further impairs the kidneys’ ability to retain water and increases the risk of dehydration if fluid intake is not sufficient.
Physical changes like loss of muscle mass and a slower metabolism reduce the overall fluid needs of the body. But the thirst mechanism is not adjusted accordingly, leading to inadequate fluid intake if one relies solely on thirst.
In summary, age-related physiological changes in the brain and kidneys undermine the body’s ability to sense dehydration through thirst. This is why it is important for older adults to drink water regularly, even when not feeling thirsty, to maintain proper hydration.
In a personal note, at 40 years old, in noticing this effect already.
Ok now I want to know where people live, if they have AC, what temperature their bedrooms are and how it effects their night water habits.
I’ve never tried keeping water by my bed at night, and chugging if I wake up in the middle of it now I’m night bottle curious 🤔
Like, will I feel magically hydrated and limber in the morning? Just another thing that I add to my routine to make me feel great in the morning?
I’ll update if I piss the bed.
Do people wake up in the middle of the night and drink a whole bottle of water? Am I missing something?
I’m usually like “don’t want to be warm under the covers and need to pee, I don’t dare hydrate past 9 pm”
Omega mart in Las Vegas might come close?
Can’t think of large scale ones unless you include the rest of Las Vegas.
This is like someone standing in Times Square saying, “I don’t go to New York or tourist destinations!”
Why are you here? How did you manage to get here?
This is such a good reply! I didn’t see it before I posted despite it being older, must have been a fedi hiccup.
This is the answer.
Additional ideas: I happened to be on Synology and wanted to download google takeout files directly from Google to the nas. So I ran an instance of chromium in docker and used that browser to download the 50gb takeout files directly to the nas.
Take note of the size of your immich library before and after you import with immich go, and how big the takeout files are before using immich go. If you miss a few files you’ll know because of the size discrepancy.
