I first read it as: you have friends who also have adhd because we tend to find eachother naturally instantly understand eachother…

I had a really great idea for a funny comment but then

The distractions are all on the inside of my brain going weeeeeee… so should i just remove my brain?

Great… Now thats also part of my browser history

I was constantly bored in elementary school and needed constant stimuli to be interested in learning anything. I cought on to most things immediately and it was easy so I never did any homework because why bother when it’s just easy so felt like I was just lazy and also got called out on sloppy work because I just didn’t bother spending time on it. All hand in assignments were always written the night before and always got a medium to high grade so why bother doing anything more? That severely bit me in the bum years later in university and fast forward another 10 years and I now have an ADHD diagnosis and in hindsight things are now finally making sense.

Just like my beagle. She’s also always ready for a nap.

I think we are getting too off topic here so maybe make a seperate post in here asking how to tinker with selfhosting, dns, tinkering etc and you can have multiple people’s inputs.

It can be a good idea to mentatlly seperate your router needs with you 2.5G speeds and WiFi needs, they dont have to live on the same device. For you private lan you need a router so you can hide and control your devices behind NAT and firewall. For that I’d just recommended one of the small hap or hax devices that suits your needs for routing, and/or wifi. If you want to be fancy the RB9005U could maybe work with your switching need as well.

You don’t need Vlan. I believe it is not what you think it is. Vlan is if you want to segregated your own lan int to different independent lans with various firewall rules.

All you need for your dorm is NAT. But for the love of god make sure that you dont connect your lan with the dorm lan or your DHCP server will start handing out IP’s to everyone else in your dorm and it will crash the dorm router. The ethernet jack in the wall of your dorm (I assume that’s how it works for you) needs to go to the WAN port of the router. But bare in mind on mikrotik you can configure the WAN port to be any physical port you want, but with default config it is port 1.

I have done this before as well when living in a dorm where wifi was shit so i did my own little setup in my room so I could stream to Crome cast etc on my own trusted lan. Get a small router with support for wire Guard vpn (i love mikrotik for this) and you have an easy way to tunnel out for all your devices.

🎶 So long, and thanks for all the fish 🎶

I always wanted to write a message like this but… I have ADHD so never really got around to do it and in my mind I thought I already did.

Awesome. I’ll give it a go with lutris

Happy to hear a succes story and Sims 3 is the least interesting of the bunch. Sims 2 and 4 are most important for her.

I I wrote to someone else here I don’t really understand Lutris when I tried it about a year ago. I found it a bit confusing on how to use it and gave up rather quickly because steam ended up worked for my needs back then. But now I want remote play and Sims to work and I feel like I’m starting from scratch even though I very good with Linux. Gaming on Linux is a whole different ordeal with drivers and compatibility layers and I don’t want my girlfriend (or myself for that matter) to be bothered by this when we just want to game.

I briefly tried to install lutris on my laptop about a year ago, but i found it really confusing to use. If I remember correctly it required a disk or iso to install and i have everything through either steam or EA or som older games just installs natively so I didn’t really understand why or how I should use it.

Does pop then use SNAP because then I don’t really want to touch it. Imo. SNAP is so slow and bloated I don’t want it on my system if I can avoid it.

I often watch tutorials on youtube but I skip ahead a few minutes because I’m thinking “I know this already just get to the point” just to spend twice the time on scrubbing back and forth constantly because I don’t understand why something has happened that was explained earlier in the tutorial.

Can we also fix the depression glitch where happiness points aren’t collected and your brain energy bar depleats completely with no way of regeneration without hacking the brain with 3rd party tool antidepressants.

For items that are not truely bifl like underwear, my own philosophy is to at least then get something that will 100% compost or disintegrate back into nature should it ever end up in a land field. Sadly underware often contains Spandex or other synthetic materials so this has actually been a difficult one for me. I have found some 100% cotton but trey are really expensive and I needed to pay a lot of shipping too so I didn’t do it. I ended up just buying more of my current brand that at least lasts really long. I have underwear that is around 8 years old now and used a lot. The brand is JBS and they have both Bamboo and cotton versions. But still contains Spandex

Why would you want to not have Bluetooth Audio when it is extremely cheap to add and basically comes bundled with most WiFi chips nowadays? It just allows the user to use the device in more situations eg. Coming home from a commute and then continue with your music on your home Bluetooth kitchen speaker or change to your car speakers. I don’t know, but I don’t really see the appeal for the device yet, however I do appreciate the general philosophy of the design and open sourcing everything. I’d want a truely offline music podcast device that had both 3.5mm Audio and exelent Bluetooth and WiFi capabilities because using the phone can be annoying sometines.
