His legacy will absolutely live on through his work. Fly high.

Tbh, my immediate reaction would be to say 2022, when I had a partner and a solid friend group who I’d go and do with. I certainly felt the most lucky back then, but I think I do look back at those times with rose-tinted glasses.

Actually the most lucky? Probably right now— I’m learning and adjusting to adult life in a way which I don’t think I had previously. I think that type of independence and freedom opens the door to self-actualization.

Also not to brag but I got a bomb-ass sugar cookie I’m yet to eat so maybe I’m riding the high of that!

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, right?

Hmm, well I think my favorite thing about myself is that I’m quick-witted. Situational comedy when I’m with friends or family tends to come pretty naturally to me, and I think choosing to not talk or quip in some situations has been a skill that’s taken more cognition.

My top 3 interests (as of lately):

  • PCs, especially the Linux ecosystem and PC hardware/overclocking
  • 3D printing/Modeling/Electronics
  • Personal health, like I’m trying to learn more about nutrition, exercise and habits. It’s been tricky to find good, free resources on like weight training and exercise tbh. I have gotten back into Beat Saber, it’s a great option for exercise, but this time I don’t wanna injure myself from overuse or anything, so I’m treating it more like exercise.

Yeah, that’d be like the web browser equivalent of going into the Windows registry editor and changing a value in there. Like, it’s there, but unless you already know what you’re looking for, it’s not really an option.

This teaser was damn intense at the game awards. I was very much like “what is even going on” and feeling pretty uncomfy. Incredibly gruesome, gorey and explicit.

And then it showed “Larian Studios” and I understood. What a reveal!

re: edit: Thanks ^^ I like to think of it like a cuddle pit. On YouTube it always brights up a gentleman pecking his Pitbull tho ><; , and armpits seem to be a valid interpretation too.

Learned the hard way that it isn’t suitable for Roblox tho.

That reminds me of Chaotic AUR, though it’s an online public repo. It automatically builds popular AUR packages and lets you download the binaries.

It sometimes builds against outdated libraries/dependencies though, so for pre-release software I’ve sometimes had to download and compile it locally still. Also you can’t make any patches or move to an old commit, like you can with normal AUR packages.

I’ve found it’s better to use Arch Linux’s official packages when I can, though, since they always publish binaries built with the same latest-release dependencies. I haven’t had dependency version issues with that, as long as I’ve avoided partial upgrades.

A lot of my friends have said they prefer girth, fwiw.

Jokes aside, that’s a good point. HDMI/DisplayPort, like USB, pass digital signals over many small cables in a bundle. With how much data uncompressed high res images consist of, I doubt there’s a lot of redundancy or parity the way there may be for Cat6 cable using TCP. At a certain point, without a powered repeater cable, the image will probably not work (or not reliably). Idk if that would appear as “no signal” or dropped frames, though.

Passive adapters don’t have much power to work with for signal processing… Idk how different the image signals themselves are between HDMI and DisplayPort, but I know from working with EDIDs that there’s many optional modes and features for both, like multiple audio/videos streams (3d video, surround sound, hdmi arc), different colorspaces, HDR and VRR. I’d be surprised if any passive HDMI-to-DP adapter supports more than the most common modes and features.
