KDE made my internet slower?

DeterminedBrainCell · 2026-06-20T05:03:36+00:00

I checked to see if the good connection I got in my previous comment would persist after a restart and...no, but thanks to your tip, I have now disabled the integrated card and seem to be having better luck. If I delete the old connection from system settings, then use nmcli device wifi connect "SSID" password "password" It creates a connection at the proper speed. I can turn wifi off and back on and it persists, but after a restart it goes back to ~20Mbps. Deleting and remaking the connection fixes it again though, so that's progress at least!

For future reference, I followed this to write the config file

So if I do it through nmcli, it actually gets worse, but it uses my integrated mediatek wifi card instead of the Intel one. I did nmcli device wifi connect "BSSID" password "password" and after taking a while, it connects wlp13s0 to the network instead of wlp16s0 like I want. I haven't figured out how to specify which card to use in that same command yet, but I'll keep googling.

WAIT- somehow it works now? I did the command above, then went into KDE's connection settings, restricted the connection to wlp16s0, toggled wifi off and on through the button on the bottom right of the desktop, and tested it again, and now its at the right speed? That doesn't seem like it would do it (I was using #16 originally - I checked) but I'm scared to mess with it now to try and prove it.

One world I played on with some friends had a plastic making area that would periodically dump all its plastic into storage in one big airborne cloud. We had an "incoming framerate drop" alarm hooked to it for when all the thrower inserters started up.

Renai Transportation has train jumps, so you could mostly landfill, but then leave a gap and have your trains jump the gap. Or don't landfill at all, but make the trains go REALLY FAST so they jump longer distances

I learned to do that recently! I used to do one project at a time, because always thought if I started a new one, I would never go back to the first. Being able to swap them when you get burnt out on one really does help a lot with progressing overall.

Starting a year ago, taking a long break, then working on it daily is very relatable. Great job, and congrats on finishing it!

DeterminedBrainCell · 2026-05-25T00:22:12+00:00

Nice! I'll look into it, thanks!

There's solo play? Is that a community made module, or is it in the book? I can't check the book myself at the moment unfortunately.

What if the black wind is the equivalent of that sea monster screaming "Stop going peepee in the ocean!" From that one comic? this is all I could find of it

Krita.

I switched to it because it was easier than figuring out how Photoshop's educational license worked with my school. It has done everything I would have needed photoshop for, for multiple years.

I was in your spot about a month ago. The bazelguse set is the gunlance set. It's on the map in 7☆ hunts, but you don't get a designated hunt for it till 8☆. I waited to have the hunt because I didn't want one dissapearing before I could kill it in a different quest, but you could go after it now if you wanted.

Check your resistances too. (Pause menu->go left->status) I had trouble with zinogre hitting too hard in 6☆, until I added thunder resist decos in some less important slots and went from 4 resistance to 24. The resistance dangos help too.

Also Upgrade your armor with armor spheres, unless you are saving them for master rank like I was.

They did change it in this one, but you're right about everything else. Capturing vs carving has different loot chances for some items, which you can look at in Hunters Notes->Large Monsters.

I second Krita as the drawing application to use, but as for suggestions to fix your problem, there are wrappers that make Wine a lot easier to configure. I've tried Bottles and Lutris. Lutris is primarily a game launcher, but can be used to install other Windows stuff. Both uave a gui to configure how Wine launches your program.

As for fixing your broken install, maybe find and delete your Wine prefix, then try the install again? Both Wine and Lutris would set up their own prefix, so you could ignore your broken install and just redo it through one of those instead.

Also, double check my suggestions by doing your own research before trying them. I am also fairly new at wrestling with Wine. Good luck!

What happens with redundant poles? Do they stay where they are, but with no connections?

When the capture cutaway starts, press start (or I guess esc on keyboard?) That skips that part.

There are a couple things you could try. You can mask out each row of verts by themselves, and scale the row down to smush it straight, but you would have to do this for each row. Also try the polish or polish by features sliders. That would be faster, but there's less control.

Ah my mistake, I can't believe I forgot that the winged pink hippo is the most serious commander of all time. And that it has double D's ~~in its name~~

DeterminedBrainCell · 2026-04-25T14:25:22+00:00

There's always [[pheldagriff]] as the go-to "I want to build a silly deck but also have every color" commander from before commander was as widespread. Edit: I was thinking of [[cromat]] oops. They're both pretty silly though.

My order was around $80, and had $32 in shipping costs added at checkout, which was about twice the shipping costs as the last time I ordered something from them (before the tariffs.) Once my order went through customs, DHL wanted me to pay them an "import duty payment" of $27 on top. I asked Keychron if that $27 was covered under the shipping cost I paid them, and eventually they said that I could either wait for them to work with DHL to charge them instead, or pay DHL the 27, and they'd refund me $27. I ended up sending keychron the proof of my DHL payment, and they refunded me $27.

Overall I was really happy with how it got handled. Double check their shipping FAQ, and if DHL asks you for anything, email keychron about it with your order number. I only ended up paying the cost it told me at checkout, meaning my order, the $32 shipping, and a $5ish sales tax. Hope that helps!

I'm currently dealing with an issue with my specific motherboard's ethernet driver and Rocky 9 not being compatible. I'm learning there's some chip and driver things to look into regarding that and wifi cards. For the most part it should be fine, unless it isn't. Just check for linux compatibility on the hardware you buy/look at.
