I always end up low-balling myself lol.

• price sufficiently lower compared to new
• price higher to negotiate down from to actual price point

I was born with feet in the 1st percentile of the population and they stayed that way even despite getting taller. Now every shoe shopping experience is awkward af.

It is a half baked review, IMO. The author says that despite having 45 W charging, the phone takes 75 mins to charge. Samsung really slows down it's charging speeds post 80%, so testing from 0 to 100 is not a good criterion at all.

Plus, he forgets to mention that Samsung skips on a microSD card for A56 which was present on A55. Though in Samsung's favor, they are offering 6 OS upgrades and I doubt any other OEM except Google matches it.

In this video I am doing some changes to my own game. These changes are something like adding sword combat, adding particles and visual buffs, repairing inventory and crafting table. This video also contains discussion about my oncoming challenge video where I do a coding challenge. Please give feedback about your experience a s a viewer!

I found this interesting. It's mainly about how Brexit has introduced extra red tape when dealing with Europe. The article says how the EU is the UK's largest trading partner, with the value of trade being over double that of the next largest trading partner: the USA.

Here are some quotes:

The days of freedom of movement for people, goods, and services between the UK and its neighbours are long gone.

The British economy has lost out and British citizens and businesses suffer from greater bureaucratic botheration.

Nor has immigration into the UK gone down since leaving the EU. The numbers have actually gone up, with people from Commonwealth countries, including India, Pakistan and Nigeria, more than compensating for EU citizens who used to come and go.

A friend picked up a copy of Halo MCC yesterday, so we introduced him with Halo 3. We got a group of 4, and eventually 5 together and did a multitude of different game modes. One of the first we did was Juggernaut on Epitaph.

The entire battle ended up staying contained to the little balcony in the screenshot. We'd spawn in, make a break for the balcony, and then kill the juggernaut before having it stolen from ourself.

Our match ended with us all accidentally killing each other at the same time. I hadn't even noticed this until going back through the theater for screenshots, but i thought it was a pretty cool coincidence.

We also did One Flag on Guardian. This game was a lot of fun because being separated into teams we had to strategize really hard. Grenades seemed to hold dominance here too as they could be used to clear a hall before the enemy got to us. Combine that with the AR and short hallways and it was a fun challenge.

The winning point ended up being scored by me, as i flanked around the back and led the other team on a drawn out chase, using the geometry to put distance between us. They didn't realize i was making a break for the half of the map we didn't really go on this round, and by the time they did i was already to the point.

The final match we did was Assault with one bomb on Last Resort. We didn't get off to a great start as my time, who was on the offensive, forgot to grab the bomb. We turned around though and grabbed it without wasting too much time.

We ended up going for the high ground and used the fan blade to ascend up the building. We made a break for the landing and made a slam dunk into the point and deployed a bubble shield to hold it.

Sadly our victory was short lived, as when we were on the defense, We got so preoccupied with one of the enemy team players using themselves as a diversion that we didn't realize another one of them was flanking us with the bomb. By the time i had the thought "Oh shit, i bet he's flanking us with the bomb" he had already planted it. We tried to rush over to defuse it but were too late.

So I've been working professionally with Linux-based systems for a few years, and while I'm not the expert I would like to be, I have got a pretty good feeling for the way those systems work. You have the bootloader, the initramfs, the boot procedure, systemd, PID 1, you can check the logs, you have all those little things that make the system work. Everything is a file, you have file permissions and selinux contexts, you have networkmanager, systemd units, you have (system) users, some just for some services, it's all dandy.. if I have a problem with a program I can usually debug it, check its logs, and get it to run.

Now for work I suddenly need to do lots of administration of Windows systems, Win11 and server, and troubleshoot deep, weird issues..

And I've started reading up on it, trying to use PowerShell as much as I can, but I'm just not getting the same high level overview feeling of understanding of how the system works, of how the parts work together. Or even what parts there are, and what they do.

(Especially within an Azure context.)

Books on Windows tend to be very surface level, just instructions on what menus to click through to get a working configuration.

But what's going on underneath the hood? What do I do when I get a weird VPN issue? I mean, there's Get-EventLog to check for things in the logs, but.. nothing feels connected.

Do you know what I mean?

(Also, how cumbersome is PowerShell? No proper paging like with less in bash, I mean, you can't go back a page, not with windows more or that powershell pager command, and you have to type sooo many words.. and yeah, everything is an object, and I see how that can be a nice idea, but man, does that force you to select properties of those objects like crazy. Is this really a good thing, once you have it figured out?)

Are there one-to-one equivalents between Windows and Linux distros that could help me understand? Or is there a really good book that spells it all out, that sets me on a path where I can someday debug ANY issue and understand what I am seeing and doing?

..and I mean, where do I even start out debugging and understanding things like Entra ID issues in Windows365 machines, and hybrid Azure domains.. the Microsoft help usually just seems to be steps on how to configure the stuff, but not understanding how it works..

Sorry, this is all over the place, but I'm just lost right now 🤷‍♂️ maybe someone has felt those same things before and has something wise to tell me?

I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

so I spent last several days making collecting watch time on both videos and livestreams more robust and work across multiple peertube instances, im sure it still has gaps in the structure so that jenk data can get in.

if you want to try it heres the link https://github.com/solidheron/peertube_recomendation_algorythm/ btw its a browser extension

so now I got two parts left that I know of first being creating the user_recomendation_vector and the function that gets recommendation based on that vector. I settle on cosine similarity vector since its easy to implement and can be run in browser with only data collected by the user device, and doesnt requires sharing outside of peertube api. user_recomendation_vector should have two part AOLR: (algorithm of last resort) which will be the words in the title, tags, and description tokenized with an float value and recomended_standard: which will be based on what category either programs or people decide a video belongs to along with an associated float value to make it a vector.

I do have issues with deciding if engagement is important, if short video should have multiplier if they're completed, how much is a like worth, how important is it to get an end of the video.

I should add that I have made complimentary video_description_vector thats store in browser all vector dimentions are 1.

I've( 22M ) been an overthinker for almost my entire life. Not only that, I have hyper-anxiety and overwhelmness. I haven't been scheduled with a psychiatrist so far.

A few months ago, I seriously realized that I was wasting my time on devices( phones, laptops etc) and haven't been paying attention to real life and responsibilities. Because I had made devices as a way to escape from reality.

Then I made a schedule to maintain that included low and controlled use of devices and some other things. Journaling was also a part of that.

I began to write my daily events on a journal app in my phone. I had a physical diary that I started to use to write down advices, methods, facts, important instructions that I was gathering from youtube. That diary is now filled around 60%.

I continued writing my daily journal in the app for 1.5 months and then lost the drive to continue for unknown reason. Consider this one of my main psychological problem. I lose drive very quickly.

Then I realized that, when I continued journaling, I had more control of my overall daily activity that I used to do. I had less laziness, more energy, more drive, healthy sleep schedule etc. And now, it seems that I've sunken into my peak rabbithole again.

Now I'm seeking advices from people who turned their life in a positive way by writing journals as a first step. Any other advices except journaling is also welcomed.

Circulation issues have been plaguing me for the past several months, and getting a doctor's appointment is taking an eternity. As I've been waiting, the issue has only worsened, to the point where I am ~~quickly losing sensitivity in my hands and fingers.~~ EDIT: "Quickly" as in over the span of a few days or weeks having cold hands, not hours. If that makes a difference.

As a cis male, this has also begun to affect a certain part of the body that requires good blood flow to properly function. Without an incredible amount of sexual excitement, it remains worryingly cold and lifeless. I'm enjoying what I have left while it lasts, but it would be horribly fitting for me to lose feeling there too before I can even set foot into the vascular specialist's office.

It's brutal. It really is. I'm in my early 20s, and this, on top of a multitude of chronic health problems, is hitting me all at once. I've never had a partner, but I was always so excited to find one someday. But now, things have just gotten a whole lot harder. (That is, except for one thing.)

I don't want to lose hope. I've already tried that in the past from my other health issues, and it only makes things worse. But it's kind of difficult to imagine what a relationship looks like without functioning parts. Especially when this doesn't magically make me asexual. I still want to enjoy some kind of sexual activity, but I'm not sure that I'll be able to do it in the way that most women who would otherwise be compatible with me are hoping for.

I'd appreciate any kind of hope or encouragement, or just practical advice for what to do if the worst comes to pass. I feel that this is a scenario that I need to be prepared for, because god knows that the medical system isn't fast enough to do anything except record the damage that has already been done.

Thank you, and I wish you all luck in dealing with whatever fucked up shit has come your way, too.

EDIT 2: You know what? Maybe this isn't about my junk as much as it is my entire fucking body. "Oh that's weird, the lack of circulation has spread from my fingers to my entire hand in a few days." Uh, yeah, you THINK? My feet are turning blue, my hands are going numb, my mouth is getting cold, and I'm worried about THIS? Maybe the commenters telling me to get care immediately have a point. Maybe I'm the meme guy who worries about the economy while a meteor crashes into Earth.

Recently my music downloader of choice yams.tf shut down. It was the only place I got music out of convenience. It's the only apple music ripper on fmhy. Now, I can't get new music and lyrics. I'm looking for a solution to this, whether that be self hosting(I only do FOSS) or a better downloader. Just note that I value organization and consistent file metadata.

Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Shameless self-plug here. I wrote a blog post to document my methodology after having some issues with publicly available examples of using Podman and traefik in a best-practices config. Hopefully this finds the one other person that was in my shoes and helps them out. Super happy for feedback if others care to share.
