  • Typically the difference is that people with autism and or ADHD experience things more frequently or more intensely than others.

    Yes, all these things are normal for most folks, but how often and the severity of these symptoms are diffrent.

    For example, I have ADHD, and one of the symptoms of that is I’m easily distracted. For most people, this would sound fairly normal, but even when its something important, or something I want to do, my brain is moving on to a billion other things all at once rather than focusing on the task at hand. Medication helps immensely with this, but it still happens even on my meds at times. That is not normal.

    Also the autism spectrum is a spectrum for a reason. Some people appear to cope better than others and some can’t cope at all. Masking is normal but for someone with autism it can be exhausting because some people with autism never stop masking. They are constantly aware they aren’t “normal” and it stresses them out.

    Its hard to understand these kinds of feelings if you’re Neurotypical. Our brains work differently from others, which might sound like “I’m special” but honestly, I’d rather not have ADHD. Shit sucks dude. I fucking hate not being able to do things like a normal person. Its a curse.

    People ive met with ADHD or autism, its just nice to be seen and feel like were understood which is why these memes are often posted or are popular with those crowds.


  • Older and or used hardware is gonna be a place to start for CPU and GPU. Used dell optiplex can get you most of the way there, then buy a decent GPU when you can. Just make sure it fits in the case and the PSU that comes with the optiplex can handle the power draw. I’d recommend a new PSU though. Dont buy used for PSU or storage is the best advice I can give.

    Optiplex are not gonna get you top of the line performance or anything but it’ll be a lot better than nothing and you can always use it for something else later like a nas, a server, home theater PC, etc.





  • Me personally, I’ll never pre-order a game. Pre ordering is different from early access because i actually get the game even in a unfinished state.

    All that said, it depends on the game. Timberborn has been the only early access game I felt has been worth it. The Devs are still putting out regular updates and have vastly improved the game since i bought it. Its been very fun to play from the beginning and has only gotten better.

    Compare that to something like cyberpunk, yea I’m good. Couldn’t imagine how that must of felt to preorder that and get that mess on release. I think the main difference is the studio. AAA games I rarely buy anymore. Indie games though? Thats where I’m at.










  • I used a cloudflare tunnel for streaming music in jellyfin. Didn’t so much else with it and it worked pretty well. Anything high bandwidth you should use something else, but for stuff that doesnt consume a ton of bandwidth like music streaming in my case, it worked fine, at least when I used it a few years back.


  • I agree with what others have said about using reaper. It really is a great DAW.

    That said, a lot of good vst use stuff like ilok or other crap that makes it impossible or very difficult to use on Linux at least in my experience.

    I made a windows box specifically for making music because its just way easier. Making music on Linux sucked for me due to crashing and the plugins I bought before I switched to Linux on my main machine.

    Reaper should be fine for you, there are plenty of good Linux compatible VST but if you ever get “serious” about music production, Linux isnt quite there yet IMO. Windows would be my recommendation or if you can afford it, a Mac is good too from what ive heard.

    Cost, privacy, and control.

    No matter what happens to stuff outside my network, I have full control over my data and hardware, without paying someone for thiers.

    I still haven’t set up my self hosting stuff yet, still moving things in with my girlfriend and unpacking but I’ll be using my mini PCs for home assistant, nextcloud, immich, and Jellyfin to start with. May set up some arr services as well but I kinda like to just pay for things to own them if I can.
