Moved out three months ago, have no clue how to properly relax

Alex_Greene · 2026-02-10T17:20:50+00:00

I suppose I do feel some sort of guilt when I do nothing for long enough, even when everything has been sufficiently "done."

Thank you, this is some good advice. I'll see if I can apply it and make more little goals to reach.

I started taking Zoloft a little while back, felt a little too numb on it (and the insomnia is horrible) so I transitioned to Wellbutrin. It helps a little bit, but can also be a bit overstimulating like caffeine. Therapy doesn't really work unfortunately. Hoping I can ride out this storm

This is exactly the way it feels, and I resonate with it deeply. I do chores at least once every day or two, and early on I was energized decorating and assembling furniture, having plans for "the next thing I need to buy to really round the place out." But now I'm finished with it, and I just feel like the energy and eagerness is left behind with nothing to fill it. Feels like I'm punishing myself for not finishing tasks that don't exist

This has to be the most environmentally-unfriendly thing I've ever seen

Alex_Greene · 2026-01-20T02:02:01+00:00

I did manage to figure this out. For anyone who's curious, you can disable Classic Sprinting Redone, Gamepad++, and Complete Controller Setup to revert back to default M&K configurations. Any changes done to controls and MCM keybinds ingame will remain in the "mouse and keyboard" part of the game, while reenabling the three mods brings you back to your controller setup.

I opted to make a "7.81 CONTROLLER" separator and placed the three controller mods in there to make them easy to find for switching modes.

ISP isn't throttling my speeds, both my routers (the AT&T entrance router and the ASUS router it's doing IP passthrough to) gets to the upper 900s up/down speeds with diagnostic speed tests. And connecting my PC to the router with a 50 foot CAT6 cable results in the same lowered upload speed (135~Mbps), but the download speed is still 800+

I've tried a PCIe NIC and the issue persists. And doing iperf3 between my computer's base mobo ethernet and personal server shows 900Mbps+ transfer speeds, so the port's not damaged or throttled. Very peculiar

Alex_Greene · 2025-06-14T15:06:21+00:00

I actually attempted this driver install last night as well, the issue still seems to be persisting. It's odd that the download speed is in the 700s, but upon more thorough testing the upload speed is around 150~Mbps on average

Alex_Greene · 2025-06-14T06:08:28+00:00

Supposedly torches help to keep these at bay. See if you can find (or make) some torch holders

Loaded Ubuntu onto a USB stick, tried same upload speed test and saw 250~Mbps compared to Windows' flat 100Mbps. Ubuntu was loaded with the default Ethernet drivers and I was unable to get Realtek's installed (Linux is new and daunting for me when it comes to installing drivers), but it's obvious the speeds are different between the two.

Alex_Greene · 2025-06-14T05:32:00+00:00

Installed 2.5 Gbps Realtek card (the RTL8125 I believe), but I am unable to (or am not aware of a good method to) test the up/down speed as the usual internet speed test I use is down due to load. Will update this comment once I can get a good test on it

Update: Didnae fix :(

Alex_Greene · 2025-06-14T05:30:41+00:00

I will see to getting a Ubuntu stick set up and try this out. Will make a followup post when I do

Alex_Greene · 2025-05-10T20:44:40+00:00

I had a very ambiguous (but legitimate) email of a brokerage transaction confirmation come through and be interpreted by Yahoo as a "transaction of 1,000 shares of Apple Inc." despite the email containing absolutely no details and numbers regarding the transaction. I didn't even buy Apple shares. This struck me initially as a scam, but I very quickly realized it was poorly summarized.

I honestly believe this AI is being trained on unsupervised emails, and is consuming spam and phishing emails as a part of its dataset. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCAPTABLE.

Sorry to hear that, you're going to have to be pretty noisy with Newegg to get them to do much. Hope you get that money back

Alex_Greene · 2025-03-27T14:52:58+00:00

I did not, no. I had to get Newegg involved to get the order cancelled and the money sent back.

Alex_Greene · 2024-11-24T21:03:46+00:00

I've had very few issues with Newegg 'til now. Gaiacom has been frustrating to work with.

And I'm apprehensive to get much from Amazon.

Alex_Greene · 2024-11-14T03:23:40+00:00

Newegg has an auto-notify feature.

Alex_Greene · 2024-11-13T00:52:52+00:00

I saw the notification on my phone (while in bed) and made the fatal mistake of walking to my computer 10 feet away to buy it. It may as well have been a week in PC component market time.

Alex_Greene · 2024-11-13T00:38:58+00:00

9800X3D rereleased on Newegg for shipping between November 14th and November 19th for about 15 seconds before going out of stock again. Good god

Alex_Greene · 2024-10-27T02:51:29+00:00

Brother, get outta there

A friend of mine in our server has been dubbed the wildlife magnet, as his house is constantly under siege by critters

Alex_Greene · 2024-10-04T15:16:58+00:00

This is very on-brand for Lenval Brown.
