  • That’s more hours per week than I have to work.

    But you can always do more. I have a childhood friend who, when some leagues were released, averaged about 14 hours per day for Path of Exile for two weeks straight. Like 180 hours playtime in two weeks.

    Another friend of mine should be at about 8000 hours of Rocket League by now on his main account only. That’s over the game’s full lifespan though.






  • SSRIs and SNRIs helped a lot of people, going after them is a recipe for disaster.

    Sure, I’d prefer if fewer people needed them, and they do have downsides. But in my opinion, the reasons for the mental conditions that require treatment are mostly societal, and there are no signs of these improving.

    What’s the alternative going to be? Tricyclics? Therapy for everyone? I suspect it’s a “fuck you” to everyone affected.

    My only hope is that he’ll actually push for legalisation of psychedelics which in some cases might offer an alternative, though they come with their own downsides (e.g. a friend of mine is on SSRIs but probably couldn’t replace them with psychs for his depression because he had panic attacks and could be at risk for psychosis).

    Luckily we aren’t US citizens.

    You don’t configure GRUB directly in NixOS. You configure it like everything else via NixOS modules which are pretty robust (but with enough energy, you can probably create something that passes evaluation but won’t actually work). Only my VPSs use GRUB, the rest lanzaboote and none of these ever broke.

    So I’d say breaking your GRUB config by accident in NixOS is very unlikely.

    You can use systemd with the classic logging tools by installing and enabling their respective service if you prefer. This will forward all messages to them. You even get a more comprehensive log than before systemd as the latter will even forward the messages that were sent before the logging service was started.

    Edit: similarly for cron, you can still use the classic tools. I see their appeal in ease of configuration. Though in my opinion, systemd timers are more powerful and better integrated (don’t ask me why, I made that assessment years ago) so I accept that increased complexity.

    For logs, I actually prefer the systemd journal though

    One day, the tables will turn.

    That day will be a test of character

    Why some people are like this? Don’t know and trying to make sense of it is often futile, especially if you’re caught in the relationship yourself and as such have only a limited / warped perspective… all I can say is that his behavior is extremely sickening.

    Everyone deserves love, empathy and compassion from their parents - I’m sorry that your father seems incapable of that, but none of that is your fault.
