Yikes. I feel for you man.

Can’t use DNS?

I don’t encode in AV1, I use HEVC. But while your argument is not unreasonable, it misses the component of file size and amount of disk space required.

HEVC (x265) takes half the space of x264. While it does require a more modern GPU, it can be run on lower powered Intel CPUs with an integrated GPU just fine, so long as the CPU is new enough. Though it can only handle 2-3 streams on a CPU like the Intel chips in a ZimaBoard. So you need to choose wisely.

Spatchcocked is the way. Next time put that on top of a deep cast iron pan full of dressing or roasted veg.

This is my preferred solution.

All dependent on the hardware you run the server on. Give it a good GPU and you’re off to the races

I lived for years without meds before COVID and wish I still could.

Not everyone can or should, however, should you be able to find a way to roll with it and use it while recognising your limits and when you need to change tasks etc, it can be much better to use tools than to use medication.

Medications like ADHD meds are not a type of medication that builds up and maintains a status quo of effect. They burn out and they must, because most of them are methamphetamine based and would keep you up all night.

So, like pain meds, ADHD meds have a pendulum effect. Whatever ADHD focus is without them is a baseline; the pendulum is at rest. When you take them, your focus improves greatly which makes all the other symptoms easier, and now your relative baseline from your perspective has shifted. You want normal to feel like that all the time, and by comparison, your natural baseline is much much worse.

But then the meds wear off, and you take dive in the evening. Rather than returning to your normal baseline, you go more off the rails as your perspective has shifted, which increases the overwhelming nature of your baseline, and its like the pendulum swings past the resting point into a level of disorder you’ve never felt.

As someone who struggles with weight due to ADHD hyperfocus combined with late night cravings, this is a death knell to self control and weight control; however as mentioned without the meds post-covid, I cannot focus at my job. So they are absolutely necessary now.

Its better to not deal with a swinging pendulum, but sometimes its better to get yourself into a better place.

Having already gone to e/OS and degoogled, avoiding apps on the play store - I’ve just been using the webapps via Fennec for banking, and its been fine. No notifications… But these days most of my important bank notifications can be emails.

Working hardware drivers. Stable phone and SMs applications.

Have yet to see either on any Linux Distro for Fairphone

2011, contracting for a web marketing agency I came across a tool they used that aggregated data from Market, Salesforce and data brokers.

You could put someone’s email in, and it would tell you every bit of info they ever filled out on a form for a sale or a freebie.

Name and address were often there, sometimes DoB, sometimes other PID, then there was shopping habits and history etc.

It was creepy as fuck. I dropped Facebook and twitter at the time. And I never filled a form or answered any questions at a till again. Then I started blocking trackers.

Would be awesome to create an offlined ZIM archive with this like they did with FreeCodeCamp so you can use on your local device with Kiwix.

Red Dwarf did this in an Episode as well where the new AI decides he’s not crew and no longer has a subscription to air.

This is what CB Radios are, and many more people used to have them before cell phones.

People in mountainous areas where a cell phone is useless still do.

These days firing employees when turning a profit is what makes the stock go up.

Use DKMS drivers. They rebuild for the latest kernel as its upgraded. Using precompiled libs is a problem as many vendors dont keep up with the kernel.

Also, consider an OS that isn’t just a Ubuntu variant. Broken kernel upgrades are a thing of the past since our house dumped Ubuntu based distros.

StreetComplete to help fill in the gaps. GeoShare to translate google/apple maps locations to geocoordinates for OSM, and then adding the place in OSMAnd if you login with the OpenStreetMaps editor plugin. This is how those of us who adopted Google Maps early added so much of their data…

I use OSMAnd and the search is a lot better, not sure what client you are using.

The only difference between these maps and their data is the effort by the community to update it. Google doesn’t pay people to update places, they entice them with points and advertising. Google and Apple maps would be no different from OSM if no one updated them

Google maps only ever knew where you were going because Ingress players and Google “local guides” filled in all the data for them.

Update the out of date data. Its not hard and the more people use it the more accurate the places data will be.
