Off Topic Chit Chat - (Silliness factor 5)

Don’t know about French but if you are considering, German is easier since it uses English letters and also since a lot of pronunciations sound same to our Hindi language!
For example:
‘Name’ in German is spelled as same in English, but is pronounced as ‘Naama’ in Hindi.

I won’t even try typing :rofl: I didn’t completely learn German, only the basics!

Its cool learning a foreign language and all, what I fear most is never getting to speak it.

I can understand that sentiment. Two years after graduating high school as the president of our Spanish Club I visited Mexico. I immediately noticed three problems.

  1. My Spanish teacher had taught us the Castilian dialect. They speak Mexican Spanish in Mexico–not Castilian.
  2. Two, they speak muy rapido in Mexico–too rapido for my comprehension, anyway.
  3. Slang.

A random thing I did today :

Yep I tried emacs today and I can say that it’s so powerful that I don’t think I would ever be able to use it

Censored for humans

Today I tried Emacs, after mastering neovim and enjoying neovim for more than 2 years.
And I would like to say that,
Emacs became my ex before even becomeing my girlfriend.
Neovim is still my girlfriend.

Simply because I got in love hate relationship with emacs.
I loved her because she has so much power.
I hate her because I started hating CTRL and ALT buttons
after knowing her.

Neovim on the other hand came in my life just as friend,
and slowly as I knew more about her, I liked her more,
and slowly she became my girlfriend. It was just so natural.
Meanwhile emacs is just like a hyper obsessive/desperado girl.
She doesn’t want go even a little bit slow.

I can’t type anymore today because now my pinky is dead.
This is just a troll, not hurting emacs users, I would like to say emacs is great BTW,just my brain cells are addicted to neovim like workflow :sweat_smile:

Also medicinal uses. Microdosed (2-4g)edibles of Sattiva don’t give the heavy sedation effects of other strains & doses.

Also just throwing some good quality bud in a bottle of olive oil and steeping for some months makes a nice arthritis salve (the scent is pungent but could have some essential oil added in like sandalwood or pathchouli).

Yes, the medical properties of cannabis are amazing and have been shamefully gone to waste for far too many years.

That’s basically a form of FECO, or full extract cannabis oil. It’s (also) edible. :wink:

I use ice & 99.9% ethanol to collect the cannabis trichomes from shake & trim, and maybe a little bud. The ethanol is evaporated @ sub-100 deg. F, leaving only the extracted hash oil concentrate, then further purged of any residual.

I can use the concentrate for dabbing (my fav), edibles, our making a tasty joint even moreso.

And, @tbg should note—with pride—that the Trailer Park Boys methods of doing about the same thing are crude but effective. :rofl:

Came across this pica-backup. It uses Borg under the hood to manage all the backups and stuff with ability to have both local and remote backups plus timed intervals at which backups are to be created. Seems interesting.

Seems more comfortable than Vorta :slight_smile:

@NaN seems there is only flatpak no paru install possible … but I use Vorta :smiley:

Hmm, it should be possible to install via paru though.

And I am using an 8GB SD card to save all my files and also Hyprland config :grin:
Also I save all the above in Nextcloud.

Not a big diff to Vorta, but Vorta has a better UI :grin:
Maybe it’s better on GNOME, but on i3wm it’s horror.

Lol, same but I am using something like 6 GB SD card
so I first compress the files in tar.gz format then I save them :stuck_out_tongue:

And , Nextcloud is next place :slightly_smiling_face:

I thought I’d post an update on this one:

After giving it some thoughts and researching WearOS usage with GrapheneOS, I can gladly report I’m now running it with a locked bootloader and no root :partying_face: my Ticwatch is working, all it needed was granting nearby devices permission to GMS :slight_smile: while I’m missing the possibility of customizing fonts and some other root-requiring stuff (SDMaid SE, Thanox for auto-freezing for some apps I don’t want to be able to run unless I want them to and several magisk modules), some other things like JamesDSP are also working without it (check out RootlessJamesDSP!). For auto-freezing apps I’m now using other profiles which also seems to be an acceptable solution since they have a quite advanced user system. There aren’t many roms that are as well maintained as GrapheneOS, so I’m quite happy about being able to use it.

What about you???

Me: Looks at CPU, looks at Temperature like after every 5 mins.
Me: Optimal Temp, below 60, Optimal CPU less than 30%
P.s Anything above this, I freak out. So technically I never run many Java applications.

Question: Am I paranoid? → I know Gamers be utilizing 100% of everthing so you can relax, this is probably not for you.
