How do you know you aren't smart?
  • I don't think I've ever met a genuinely smart person that wasn't kind. Most insufferable people I've met weren't outstandingly smart. But maybe that's just the bubble I live in and a little bit of luck.

    Or I'm just very tolerant and have a high ceiling for what I'd describe as insufferable.

  • Star Citizen's "be anything do anything go anywhere in a near infinite universe" hype pitching is starting to become unbelievable to the flock on the official forum. Check it out before it's deleted!
  • I mean, what kind of functionality do you expect from interiors? Most ships give you access to ship components, like quantum drive, shields, etc. which you will need for the engineering update. You usually also get weapon racks and shower/toilet rooms (thought tbf those don't really server any purpose).

  • Make sure to brush up on your mycology!
  • I recently heard fly agaric is very commonly consumed as a tea - and even gets you a decent high or can help you sleep at lower doses.
    The high is apparently somewhat comparable to alcohol. It's also not as toxic as media makes it seem to be, I think it's also comparable to alcohol.

  • Slow Steam downloads via USB-Tethering on Linux only

    For the past few weeks, the download speed on steam via USB-Tethering on my Linux distro (Arch, btw) has been steadily going, barely reaching 2 MB/s right now. I thought it might be the ISP slowing Steam specifically down, since every other download worked at the expected speed (~15-30 MB/s). Just because I was curious (and wanted to exclude Linux as the issue), I booted into my Windows and started a Steam download, which surprisingly reached 30 MB/s.

    When using home wifi, every download has the (approximately) same speed, only with USB-Tethering and only on Linux is Steam much slower than anything else.

    I'm at a loss here. No idea what the issue could be.

    Update while writing this: I noticed my Wifi was still connected while USB-Tethering was active, disconnected and now Steam downloads with ~10 MB/s. Still slower than Windows but at least some progress and hopefully insight into what could be causing this.

    High battery usage on android

    I recently noticed that Firefox for me has pretty high battery usage, more than twice of what Connect (Lemmy) has at ~75% the screen time. Could this be because of extensions? I'm using Dark Reader and uBlock Origin

    Tasks for Proton Calendar

    So I've been wanting to switch from Google, but Calendar is the one thing keeping me from doing so, mainly because of Tasks. I only use Tasks and I use them multiple times a day. Are tasks coming to calendar any time soon? I saw them being mentioned in a post a year ago but it seems nothing happened yet.

    Sollte ein Bruch dauerhaft (während die Schwellung besteht) gekühlt werden?

    Ich habe mir vor sechs Tagen den Innenknöchel gebrochen und es noch geschwollen. Habe den Fuß dauerthaft hochgelagert und auch so gut wie immer kühl gehalten (kurze Pause zwischendrin), aber das Kühlen wird so langsam unangenehm und nervig. Ist dauerhaftes Kühlen beim Abschwellen hilfreich oder reicht das Ruhigstellen und Hochlegen (parallel zum Boden)? Am Mittwoch sollte der Bruch operiert werden aber mit der aktuellen Schwellung ist das nicht möglich.
