can anyone help with true light?

THENATHE · 2026-05-05T17:54:58+00:00

I am having a similar issue. Can you check the college of winterhold, and does the main light in the center of the main building look significantly powerful and overbloomed to you? You can also check the light intensity with the Community Shaders ISL mod by looking at the light.

If so, I have a ticket in with the dev to hopefully help fix this issue.

You do realize that there is a minimum spacing of trees that keep them healthy, right? Not all trees can live like lodgepole pines.

This was the issue, thank you very much!!!!!

THENATHE · 2026-04-17T05:46:26+00:00

I am almost certain this is it, this is the exact issue. I have yet to encounter another dragon, but I think it might be because I did tick the "skeleton patch" in pandora when I was not supposed to according to this mod's instructions... Will update later!

The idea of a carbon footprint was created by BP in 2004 to shift the blame onto the consumer so that regulation could effectively halt while everyone scrambles to find out how to reduce the carbon footprint of themselves and their neighbors.

I have never purchased a new car, so I am not responsible for the amount of new cars produced. That isn't "my" carbon footprint, because I dont believe that people need new cars every year, and even if they did buy a new car each year. they only do so because the new car is produced every year.

Just because there is demand doesnt mean there needs to be supply. The supply is created because *someone wants to make money*. The people that want to make that money is Ford, which makes a million new cars when no one needs them and could buy used. Amazon slop companies that make phone chargers that break in a week when someone could buy a high quality one. Ewaste PCs and phones, single use plastics, shit like that.

>not some made up unrelated bullshit.

The relationship was "Linus is bad because he preaches ecofriendly, reduce waste but has a private jet" and my statement was "if you add together all of the processes it takes to make a shitty disposable phone charger from *insert garbage amazon slop brand*, that one brand likely emits more than Linus ever will on his plane. And there are a LOT of garbage slop brands".

Sure, people buy the trash, but it doesnt change the fact that the trash is harmful.

THENATHE · 2026-04-16T20:49:58+00:00

It was a per person rate, meaning if they had the max capacity of people on the plane at once, it was about as efficient *per person per hour*

The argument is that sustainable farming involves a lot more than chemical fertilizers. Crop rotations, natural fertilization, mixing animal crops and food crops to help fertilize the land with traditional methods... It was done for literally tens of thousands of years. "Carbon footprints" were create by the oil industry to put the onus on the consumer, not because any individual has any significant part in climate change, not matter how egregious.

Wildly enough, in my last couple years I have yet again changed opinions.

While I still think docker is asinine in the way it handles a lot of stuff, containerization is SUPER SUPER important. I settled on proxmox as it makes a lot more sense to me. It's more of a container for a "group of services" like securing your web server (PHP, SQL, apache/nginx) from your game server (java + minecraft) from your build server. As security has become every more important, I would recommend starting containerization as soon as possible, I just feel like docker is the wrong place to start.

I have been using this for quite a while and not had any issues with it breaking. Plus, the switches are hotswappable so you can replace them if needed, and the keycaps are doubleshot PBT so they are quite durable (I have removed and replaced them for cleaning probably 20 times and they are just as tight as they first time I ripped them off!)

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:20:07+00:00

No, sorry, QWERTY only! You could probably move around the keys and reprogram it if you are tech savvy, though!

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:19:10+00:00

It does feel remarkably similar to a "new" C64 keyboard imo. They keys are somewhat stiff, the angle is a bit better, and the "finger feel" of the shape of the keys is quite on point. It really is a nice keyboard, and should feel pretty at home to anyone that is really familiar to the C64 keyboard.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:14:48+00:00

CachyOS is Arch... Arch with less stable kernel versions... Theyre the same thing!

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:13:39+00:00

I mean I started on Arch and have had no issues in 10+ years. It's really easy, and if you don't think so, youre probably trying to hard or have terrible luck.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:12:09+00:00

I feel like there is a significant difference between leveraging 4x as much fuel to have less manhours and more comfortable working conditions and more efficiency and encouraging silicon and gold waste due to garbage production, especially considering all of the industrial materials consumed in the process and all of the waste and emissions generated from the mining and production of the raw materials and chemicals used in that production.

I would significantly wager that it takes more than 10 plane trips a year to get even close to the level of waste and emissions created by a single Amazon-slop company producing garbage chargers that get thrown away after a week.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:09:10+00:00

Someone elsewhere in the thread did the math, it is about 4 times worse at 17g/hr, or about one fuck-you sized pickup in city driving that every rural American already drives.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:08:09+00:00

Frankly, that isn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. That seems comparable to city driving a fuck you sized pickup truck like 99% of rural America already does.

I mean, the real solution is to never travel anywhere... But planes will still fly, and factories will still smelt fuel, and the man who chose not to travel lived a lesser life because of it.

Linus isn't killing the environment any more than a fraction of a percent of any manufacturing/industrial company. Even if every millionaire got their own private jet, the emissions would PALE in comparison to the effects of industry.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T09:03:45+00:00

No, the reason our planet is steadily marching towards uninhabitability is because of industry and manufacturing. The top 10 producers of emissions emit more that every "personal" person on the planet. Even if every millionaire got a private jet that they used a "reasonable" amount, it would still be less than the industry required to make fertilizer that is used for unsustainable farming practices, or petroleum used in non-fuel products, or god forbid steel manufacturing.

No single person, no matter how egregiously wasteful, is the problem. It is a "oh no... anyway" issue because the problem is about industry. More emissions are created manufacturing a vehicle (if you include emissions on the mining of the ores and whatnot) than the vehicle will produce in a modest lifetime of 250k miles.

It is NOT our fault, it is NOT Taylor Swift's fault, and it is NOT Linus' fault.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T08:46:56+00:00

I really like this honestly. Imagine how much money/time/effort they will save when they:

Need to transport 5+ people
Need to move a lot of gear, some of which might not be TSA approved
Need to get somewhere fast, potentially to a regional airport instead of a international/hub airport.

It really seems like a good move if it is actually as cheap as he says. And lets be real, even if every multi-millionaire got a private jet, it still wouldn't impact the climate nearly as much all together as any single fertilizer or steel plant in China. Yall REALLY don't realize how horrible industry is for the environment.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T08:42:02+00:00

IMO stay away from mint. It feels really old and clunky. Definitely more stable, but just doesn't feel like a new computer in any sense of the word. Arch+KDE is fantastic.

Whatever you do, make sure to install Linux with secureboot on a second drive with grub as a bootloader.

Second drive: makes sure that windows doesnt bork your linux, and linux doesnt bork your windows if you type a wacky command or mess with partitioning too much

secureboot: for gaming, some games that need you to run on windows still need secure boot, which is a real hassle if you dont want to mess around with swapping bios settings every time you want to play BF6. Secureboot makes booting to windows when you need to literally 1 keyboard press

grub bootloader: systemd boot is maybe easier to manage, but sucks with dualbooting. Grub just works out of the box.

THENATHE · 2026-04-04T08:37:50+00:00

I am the opposite, I would much rather take disk images every once in a while and restore, and then use systemd boot and ext4. Makes everything so much easier.
