  • I eat cereal with water daily. It is not bad. The trick is to dial in the amount to barely wet the cereal but leave nothing at the end. I use a 1/4 cup measure. Like every morning is 1/4cup of iron fortified 'Os', little honey drizzle, 1/4 cup of: peanuts, fruit and nut trail-mix, and 3/4 cup of granola cereal. That is actually better than anything I ever had when eating dairy. You won't have sinus junk after, and you'll likely have less inflammation related issues, pain, plus feel a little better.

    I tried ditching dairy for temporarily for two weeks to see how I felt. That was around 4 years ago; never went back.

    A broken neck and back are uncommon like the source of my chronic pain. So your results may vary on that front.

  • While it can certainly wear a person down at times. Take a moment to appreciate the purpose and fulfilment you get from doing all of that.

    Once upon a time, I did a lot too. After my broken neck and back, the hardest adjustment was pulling back the reigns and acknowledging my limits are only a tiny fraction of what I used to accomplish.

    We kinda have a culture that focuses on the pressures and acknowledging how they can overwhelm and consume a person if not kept in check. That is good; that is healthy. However, it is easy to also miss out on the value of accomplishment and the feelings of purpose in life.

    I never really noticed or understood why older people often tell stories about things like their big house renovation projects of the past instead of things they are interested in or would like to accomplish in the present. After disability struck prior to middle age for me, I find myself often doing the same story telling.

    With great capacity for accomplishing large projects comes a hopeful optimism hiding under the surface and driving a person to attempt something large or daunting. Eventually, that capacity fades. If it fades gradually, I believe the rate of decline likely softens the negative impacts and masks the contrasting richness of life and purpose created by such accomplishments. You have plenty of time to relax and still do much, but don't forget to take pause and appreciate the now. The biggest challenges are often eventually twisted by the mind into the fondest of memories after the passing of enough time.

  • I think you would need to blacklist it in pacman... however that is done. Otherwise it might just reinstall. It will probably break some script checks in random places, but it is not really a big hassle there. I get the same kinds of random errors with toolbox and distrobox containers that are often missing packages.

    Some lower quality script (like I write) might do a check for sudo without error handling, but most will just test on uname or environment variables as far as I'm aware.

  • If vanadium was like a typical chromium browser, I'd still be burning battery. Vanadium is core to Graphene. It is part of webview which is how basically everything works on the device. Someone explained it to me a few years ago, bit I don't totally understand it. I got bad/typical battery life with a 4a and Firefox derivatives for privacy. It was only after I went to vanadium for everything that my battery life went much longer. Like, right now, I've had a bad health day so on my phone more than normal. It is 10:30 pm and I'm at 55% battery. I've watched around 2 hours of YT, played a few dozen rounds of Gauguin, read a few articles and spent a few hours on Lemmy today.

    I default to 480p video with webp and I turn off my router's 2.4G and only use 5G. I'm also using auto reboot stuff in Graphene to clear anything in persistent memory and the same in the router. Those also help with battery.

    It isn't just the network, and it isn't just Graphene, but it all plays a part.

    The way Graphene does root is what actually sold me. Having root generally available on any android device is insane. Tethering root to USB debug is a great solution when combined with the TPM, OTA, and the Auth app.

  • 5 is definitely the best. It offers a thicker handle edge for cutting and did not require a stamping bend on thinner material to add rigidity. The rounded head and outer tines serve two purposes. One it offers a smaller controlled side contact like the profile of a chef's knife that will focus more force at the contact point allowing for better contact with the plate and shearing more efficiently. Second, the rounded outer edge will fit the contour of a bowl allowing a fork to efficiently manage rice or other small items down to the last bite with nothing remaining. The larger outer tines and shorter overall length is also more durable and resistant to bending. It cost far more to make number 5 and the design functionality came ahead of the operations cost, and materials stock selection. All of the others were made according to the minimum number of forming operations and thin stock.

  • I totally respect anyone that chooses to limit their perspective scope.

    For me, everything in life is a messy statistical abstraction. I would not go out of my way to make decisions or inconvenience myself in instances where I see vectors of negativity and small errors in ethical disposition. These are simply elements I passively note, and when faced with a choice, such past occurrences will weigh into my decisions.

    For me, I struggle to recall specifics like memorized trivia, instances of certain behaviors, or even people's names in conversational real time. I can recall most of this information if I try, but I must focus on it to do so. I instantly have access to my abstracted thoughts and oversimplifications that exist on something like a three dimensional roadmap. When I note these types of behaviors, it is like I am painting a picture of what driving down a familiar street feels like, and I remember that picture and place well, only that imagery is the actions of the person. It takes me a while to think about all the features that make up that place, but I know where I am and what that means just by visiting. The person is not any feature but an ambiance that exists in my mind. It is their identity to me. I may not recall the name feature well, but this is not who they are to me; they are an abstraction like everything else; a likely set of probabilities, but one where I'm always curious how they evolve or add new features. No one is static after all, unless they are dead. Still I weigh negative vectors into those statistics objectively and make predictions based upon them.

  • The way root is managed and the security of OTA updates along with the demonstrated knowledge of how Android users groups and SELinux effectively work are far superior to anything else I have seen in any ROM that I have run previously. Most others were little more than novel demonstrations of CVE vulnerability exploits and setups intended for oddball extra use cases and not a primary device in their implementation. Graphene is a legitimate ongoing secured solution well worth supporting. The TPM chip is a huge deal here.

  • It depends on how you abstract. I believe that small patterns are strongly indicative of larger patterns. My life experiences have largely reflected this pattern. All of my worst business encounters were with people that cheated on their partners in their personal life. They ultimately showed the same types of behavior in business. The best people I have worked for were exactly the opposite. This includes both while running my own business for years and many people I have worked for as an employee.

    The concept is also an extension of my realization that anyone that likes to talk about everyone else negatively at work when one on one, is doing the exact same thing with every other individual when I am not around and is saying the same negative stuff about me. Such a person appears to be everyone's friend on a personal level, but is actually stabbing everyone in the back equally to elevate themselves and increase their own awareness of weaknesses they might highlight or play against others. The act of talking negatively about everyone else is a strike or vector that will later manifest if given the opportunity or under pressure.

    I am metaphorically applying Newton's premise that an object in motion tends to stay in motion, to the probability of future human behavior. If the person indicates a certain vector of thought that causes damage, they tilt the scales of future interaction and are therefore some degree more likely than not to produce a suboptimal future compared to others with a more positive track record, character, and ethics.

    Tit 4 Tat +10% is like a proof that the moral high ground is the most successful long term strategy in life

    ::: spoiler wiki

    Tit for tat is an English saying meaning "equivalent retaliation". It is an alteration of tip for tap "blow for blow", first recorded in 1558.

    Tit-for-tat has been very successfully used as a strategy for the iterated prisoner's dilemma. The strategy was first introduced by Anatol Rapoport in Robert Axelrod's two tournaments, held around 1980. Notably, it was (on both occasions) both the simplest strategy and the most successful in direct competition. Few have extended the game theoretical approach to other applications such as finance. In that context the tit for tat strategy was shown to be associated to the trend following strategy.

    I'm abstracting and expanding how I interact and analyse other people in this thought. Like if a person, business, or boss takes actions that are not in line with Tit 4 Tat, I expect them to be unsuccessful and counterproductive in the long term. It is an implied strike on their pa

    Or is there maybe a way to set the pager for all help related queries to some command? I'm using bat and would like to pipe all --help through | bat --language=help by default for the syntax highlighting and colored output... Or if you know a lower effort way to color the output of --help let me know.

    If I know the frequency and magnitude of a high pitched continuous sound, how can I calculate the potential effects of damping materials?

    I have a small hard drive that is making a constant high pitched sound that is typical of the drive, and not very noticeable to the average person, but I have pain induced noise sensitivity. I am curious about how to calculate damping potential. As an initial guestimate, the frequency is very near to my maximum audible range and likely around 12kHz-16kHz. It is a little higher than the switch mode power supplies that I can also hear if it is dead silent in the room, although the drive is a higher amplitude. Addressing the noise with a solution is probably beyond the scope of anything I would actually do, but knowing how to solve it is far more interesting to me. (ELI15 )
