About now, several weeks. Being chronically ill in bed. It just takes too much energy to put on clothes. I have a bathrobe I can throw on in case I have to go to the toilet while guests are here.

Yeah. Did something happen to GabeN?

Bazzite is probably the best Linux distribution for this purpose. It's practically made for it. In terms of hardware, get an AMD GPU. Intel might also be ok, but they are pretty new so might have hidden caveats.

CPU, whatever you can afford I guess.

Do you have a budget?

I used to have a Linux keyboard (with Tux instead of the Windows logo on super) with dedicated copy and paste keys. As far as I recall I never used them.

I'd use it for data storage. Movies, games, backups.

Improved responsiveness of system when running into out-of-memory crash situations.

I'd really like to know what they did there. I recently added earlyoom to my non-SteamOS Deck for much the same reason. Expedition 33 sometimes seems to run into a memory leak which makes the whole Deck unresponsive.

Santa did exist historically. Saint Nicolas was a bishop in what is now Turkey. Supposedly he helped a lot of poor children.

Diese Realität hat anscheinend doch Humor.

I'm obsessed with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. I thought I wouldn't be able to handle the complexity and dodge mechanics. But story mode goes brrrrrr. Thanks to Jennifer English, lead actress, who asked them to make an easy difficulty so that she could play it as well.

And I might even put the difficulty up a notch.

I'd like to disable some services that might decrease my gaming performance while a game is running. Stuff like search indexing, automatic updates, filesystem tasks.

Has anyone done something in that direction?

My spontaneous idea was to use gamemode to switch to a systemd target that disables those services. Although I'm not sure if systemd targets actually can disable services or if they can only start them. Might also be a little overengineered.

If I don't get a better idea I will just run a start and stop script with gamemode to handle all that. Although I'm not sure if that would be able to stop system services. Will cross that bridge when I get there.

Edit: While I can automatically stop services by starting a target they aren't started again after stopping the target. I guess I will just use some simple start-gaming and stop-gaming scripts.

 

For all the two people interested in a Kreatin update. https://swg-empire.de/post/2801694

I think it actually helped me get a little bit better. I'm still bed ridden but I felt like I'm on a good trajectory. Friends and family also say that I seem to be a little bit more awake.

But it always made me pretty depressed about 1-2 hours after taking it. But much worse I started getting muscle cramps despite drinking lots of water. It got so bad that last night I feared that I wouldn't be able to sleep.

I'm going to stop taking it, look how I feel and then probably continue with a lower dose of 3 g per day.

I started a few days ago on 8 grams a day and since today with 3 grams of glucose on top. I feel strange. Jittery. With heat flashes. Mentally bad. All in all it feels like stopping to take antidepressants so I hope it's not somehow interfering with the Venlafaxin my doctor prescribed.

But it's the first time in a long while that I'm feeling anything from anything I tried so I will keep taking it a while longer.

Here's a study on the subject. https://www.deutschesgesundheitsportal.de/2024/06/03/long-covid-symptomlinderung-mit-kreatin-plus-glukose/

Edit 2: Through all of my shenanigans I ended up on a read-only snapshot for root. The error I got just seemed similar to previous out-of-space errors. I went to a later snapshot as default and everything is working great!

My OpenSUSE Tumbleweed is wonky since I last did a dist-upgrade with about 4000 packages. Midway through it errord out with an error that indicated that the filesystem was full althou df showed plenty of free space.

BTRFS seemed to be the culprit. Removing snapshots let me continue the upgrade until it errored out again. Rinse and repeat until it was done.

Edit: My root subvolume is read only. So there must be some error in that. The other subvolumes work correctly. So I guess it isn't about free space after all.

But now the BTRFS seems to be almost full and I cannot update anymore.

I've tried a full balance but that didn't even seem to help. So I suspect that the space is caught up in snapshots, but I can't delete them.

I'd like something to describe images for me and also recognise any text contained in them. I've tried llama3. 2-vision, llava and minicpm-v but they all get the text recognition laughably wrong.

Or maybe I should lay my image recognition dreams to rest with my measly 8 GB RAM card.

Edit: gemma3:4b is even worse than the others. It doesn't even find the text and hallucinates others.

Offener Brief an Abgeordnete von Union und SPD zur Aufnahme von MEcfs in den Koalitionsvertrag

Ich hoffe dieser offene Brief kann etwas erreichen. ME ist die häufigste Ausprägung von Long Covid. War aber schon vorher Jahrzehnte lang bekannt. Trotzdem wissen noch nicht einmal die meisten Ärzte, dass es existiert oder tun es als Depression oder andere psychische Erkrankung ab.

Einfach nur mehr Bekanntheit würde mir und anderen Betroffenen viel bringen.

Summary of the latest study on oxaloacetate, a food supplement found in nutmeg among others. The supplement is pretty expensive.

I've been taking 1000 mg per day for about a month and haven't noticed any change. I think I will raise that to 2000 mg when my current bottle is empty and then decide if I will keep taking it. Currently not very optimistic.
