  • The problem is the AI tool you’re using is making your comments longer than necessary while still saying little to nothing.

    Shorter content is faster to both write and read. Using AI to fluff up your comments just makes it seem like you’re out of touch with how using it makes you sound, and trying to feel like you didn’t waste all your money paying for an AI model.

    It’s also not concise at all, extra words with no purpose make it less clear and don’t make it any more helpful.

    Just say what you prompted it with.


  • I don’t mean to insert myself in some “armchair researcher” discussion, but Leyland Cypress is from the family Cupressaceae, not Pinaceae like the Ponderosa pine.

    So how does the Ponderosa pine being edible prove anything about the leyland cypress? They are in the same class of pinopsida, but diverge and have different orders, families, genuses, and species below that.

    You’d be better off comparing the leyland cypress to other cypresses than to ponderosa pines for edibility I think.




  • Imo must have specs include SSD (2 TB preferred), and at least 16 GB RAM, but more is better. Also a decent GPU. I still do okay with my old RX 580 but sometimes run into issues and need to turn down settings to get better fps.

    I know there are distros meant for newbs and distros meant for gaming, but if you’re just starting honestly I would go mainstream with a Debian or Ubuntu, so you can easily get support from others who have asked the same questions.

    Debian stable is rock solid and while it might not have all the latest versions of everything in the default repos, it will NOT break. Ever. I’ve ran it for about a decade now on various machines no issues. I did manage to also get steam and VR working with Debian, but iirc while steam itself is easy and mostly out of the box, the VR needed some installation.

    Ubuntu is mainstream but has Snap and snap sucks, but it will also have easy to find solutions if you search for help. But I’ve also ran into problems with snap versions of programs and tools having odd problems.

    My daily driver for gaming had been Archlinux for 7 years, but that broke a few times. Do NOT recommend for newbs as the install was also very manual. Right now I’m on Garuda and have been for probably 4-ish years. If you grab the right installer it actually has a very newb friendly install, but it is Arch -based so while I view it as easy, and I’ve had no issues whatsoever in those 4 years, I’m reluctant to recommend it for a first distro right off the bat.

    So if I were you, I’d start with a distro like Ubuntu or Debian stable, do the stock install but pay attention to what it says about partitioning at the beginning. If it offers to put /home on its own partition, select that, make it as large as reasonable (1/2 to 3/4 disk size). After you get comfortable with your Ubuntu or Debian, then learn about partitioning and look into distro hopping and dual booting. Keep a LiveUSB on hand just in case you break your bootloader, never hurts to have one or more recovery USBs.



  • I use actual as well.

    The docker compose works really well, basically set it up once and then it works, even with running updates by pulling new container versions.

    I used the account importing to start but now input everything manually and don’t do live sync.

    Never heard of the other options so didn’t know about them to compare before setting up actual. I do like the methodology of actual, where it has you only budget money that actually exists in your account, that feels very sane to me.


  • Do you have good air filters to filter the cat dander and cat hair? What about how often you brush the cat or wash bedding?

    It could be that you’ve finally gotten enough cat hair building up at home that it is starting to be a lot.

    Making sure you have and change the air filter on your HVAC system or getting auxiliary air filters can help remove airborne cat dander or cat hair. This will also help if it’s a combination of cat and pollen or other things, air filtration is great.

    If the cat is shedding all over your bedding at night then washing it regularly will likely help with that aspect. Get a furminator comb and use that to help remove loose hair from your cat and be able to dispose of it without needing them to shed it wherever, that can also help reduce hairballs.




  • For what it’s worth I was able to migrate my docker of gitea to a docker of forgejo by just changing the image to be forgejo and remaining some if the environment variables. It uses the game data and database so it’s basically a drop in replacement that they have instructions for on their website.

    Makes trying it out pretty simple, not sure about migrating back to gitea from forgejo though.

    I reviewed the two date apricot nut bread posts: Trabic starts the autolyse prior to putting the yeast into the bread, then folds/pinches the yeast in after. Whereas your version included the yeast in with the flour for the autolyse.

    My guess is that the method of adding the yeast post-autolyse could make the bulk ferment need to take longer as the yeast would not be integrated into the dough as well as if you had mixed it all up front like you did.

    And given that bread is one with inclusions, I know those take longer based on my cinnamon oatmeal rum-raisin bread I’ve made (based on chain baker’s cinnamon raisin oatmeal bread). So I could see 4.5 total time being okay, as 30 minutes were without yeast, then yeast was folded in and not dissolved, add in cold temperatures and that could work I would think.

    Yeah, I usually only trust bread recipes from known-good sources and if one recipe doesn’t turn out, I often stop using the source now.

    My favorite online resource right now is Chain Baker on YouTube, his recipes almost always turn out well, and he has enough technique videos for me to learn how to modify the recipe processes myself.

    I did want to clarify, most recipes I’ve seen do call for a bulk ferment for yeasted breads, but you’re right, usually not more than a couple hours. The one I swore was like 3 hours is really 1.5 hours. It just feels like an eternity…

    I’ve tried one recipe that didn’t have a bulk ferment step before the shaping and claimed to be a quick 1 hour bread, that was such a terrible recipe… It wouldn’t turn out half the time, being unrisen or doughy on the bottom, or unevenly risen.

    Now I only trust recipes that give quantities by mass and even then only ones that seem like they’ve been tested well. Chainbaker seems to test his recipes and also gets kitchen temperature and dough temperature measurements and explains how that affects things, I don’t bother doing that myself when trying the recipes but I know he was scientific about it when he made the recipe.

    About the only time I can imagine a 3 hour bulk ferment working is if their kitchen is like, super cold or something. Which it could totally be, we don’t know what their dough temp or kitchen temp are. Even using cold water might make the longer ferment work better for them than for you, if you used warm water.

    All these people saying two… Realize that it depends on the cat’s personality, I’ve had a cat that would go for blood with any other cat, very territorial, so don’t try to just get two cats if you don’t know that they’ll work well together. Last thing you want is them hurting each other while you’re at work.

    “don’t even know if allergic to them” Typically a humane society will let you play with or interact with some cats before adopting them, do that or go to a cat cafe first, you don’t want to be finding out after getting a cat that you’re allergic… Best way to tell is put nose to fur coat and inhale.

    I’ve owned 4 different cats in my adult life and we had two when I was a kid (not at the same time). They will each have their own personality, some will prefer more interaction than others. Some will be more violent than others (don’t play with them with your hands it can encourage biting or scratching people, always use a toy)

    You will want cat scratching poles for the cat to use instead of your furniture some flower varieties have pollen that is toxic to cats (lilies or pretty much any bulb) the cat just has to smell it, not eat it, to get sick (or worse). And be aware that you will likely want to trim the cat’s claws, that involves holding the cat snugly enough for them to not escape while trimming their talons. Older cats may have medicine you’ll need to give, so definitely don’t be shy about thrusting a pill down their throat if need be.

    Cats can be perfectly fine as an only cat, but it will help to find toys that encourage solo play, one example is a circular plastic track with a ball in it that they can hit around and around.

    Also, be aware that hairballs are a thing and can be a common occurrence (weekly, sometimes more often) there are strategies such as a furminator comb (removes excess hair by brushing), hairball diet cat food, hairball treatment goop (comes in a tube and they have to eat a little bit).

    And of course, cats need to exercise and watch their diet just like humans, and they’re creatures of habit so you will want to not get up early to feed or give them treats because they will expect that at that time then.

    Oh and being woken up at strange hours of the night is a normal occurrence whether it’s from knocking shit down in the other room or just sitting on your chest and meowing.


  • The lots of work and stressful pushy deadlines etc points probably also apply to IT too. Or software engineering or many other positions where you have to deliver something on time. I wouldn’t expect that to go away when just switching to a different field, but what you have to do to meet the deadline will change.

    Agree, the few videos of his that I appreciated were so rare and in every one he reminds me of that guy who is a pain to actually work with and any way other than their way is completely incorrect to them.
