  • Did you know a computer only uses power according to the load? Even if you have a 5090 you will probably not reach a 1300w sustained power consumption when gaming. When just seeding torrents I think it will pull something like 100w depending on your setup. But your raspberry pi will use even less but won’t be a world of difference.





  • Does anyone else feel like Firefox is running kind of sluggish recently? I’m using Zen browser on Zorin OS. I feel loading times for everything has increased in the last couple of weeks. Element like volume sliders and such aren’t responsive for like 5-10 seconds.

    Not sure if it’s my system or not but other apps run fine. I’ve already done optimizations in about:config but I havent tried switching browser, because I don’t want to, I like Zen browser.




  • Learning the Dvorak keyboard layout.

    It seemed worth it at the time when I was playing a lot of monkeytype and I still love typing with it. But I made the full switch and forgot how to touch type with qwerty. So now I have to switch layout every time I use hotkeys and switch back to type. Switching is fast but an extra step.

    I decided to switch because I think it’s a superior layout but honestly it’s not even that worth it. You will not gain speed, just more comfortable and satisfying.


  • People are afraid to change. They turn a blind eye to the suffering of animals and the planet (willful ignorance) because they think becoming vegan would destroy their social life. They are afraid to stand out. What will happen with their relationships with friends and family. Will they be perceived as a hostile out-group? Or make life hard for everyone around them?

    This is what I think is stopping people who can even agree with veganism philosophically. If they aren’t open-minded they will simply cling to the any justification for carnism possible.

    The fears I’ve listed are not hard to overcome, it’s privileged and selfish to not even try. But the main point it’s social fears that’s stopping people.
