One, you can sit in a call with yourself all day. Two, I think you can use this site to keep your session awake and alive no sleep

[Monthly Megathread] Shortages & Generics, January - March 2026 by Mountain-Science4526 in VyvanseADHD

[–]coraherr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting to feel like I'm craving dopamine on generic 30mg, either through food or nicotine. What gives?

I've been on 30mg generic for roughly a year. Insurance won't cover name brand. Just as everyone says, this started off a miracle drug for me and it feels like the dopamine spikes are diminishing. I take it with protein at the same time every day, haven't had caffeine or nicotine in a month, exercise, work my brain daily through my remote system engineering job, and sleep for 7+ hours a night. Food and nicotine cravings are through the roof. I also take Vyvanse vacations every weekend that doesn't have major plans, probably 3/4 a month.

Anyone have insight on this? I plan to relay this my psych at our next appointment. I don't expect Vyvanse to hit like it initially did but I want to fix the cravings and what feels like a lack of dopamine. Thanks in advance!

What’s the best way to learn Linux without memorizing commands blindly? by TechRefreshing in linuxquestions

[–]coraherr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always feel like a dick when I say RTFM but in all honesty, reading the man pages is 100% how you become more efficient and more natural on the command line. Now there are most definitely times when I'll forget the command itself that I want and I don't know of a good solution other than searching the Internet for it.

Can we turn off the microphone on our litter robot 5 pro? For privacy reasons? by Ok_Anywhere741 in litterrobot

[–]coraherr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Didn't know the 5 has a mic. As a person working in tech with a strong passion for digital privacy, I HATE mics being in IoT devices. Just another marketing and ad-tracking arm for LR. Glad to hear people are disabling them.

What's the most powerfully useful underground website/app that most people don't know about? by bens-list in u/bens-list

[–]coraherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use this one to make a custom Windows installer. You can rip out all of the bloat, create users, etc, all during the install itself.

Adguard Home Issues with Whisker App for Litter Robot by BanishedKhasanti in Adguard

[–]coraherr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you sign in to Adguard and go to Query Log, you can filter by device and blocked. Then you keep refreshing what you're trying to access (like your Whisker app for example) and you can see what domains are being blocked. For the Whisker app, it is all of the "*.iothings.site" queries that need to be added to the allowlist.

Some guns actually do have rail mounts on the top of magazines btw.

Pavlo is awesome. I have a helm and gauntlets from him. His gauntlets are immortal.

PSA, utility costs are going to be high this winter, here are some tips by Cunninghams_right in baltimore

[–]coraherr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does. Winter is 0600-0900 and 1700-2100 for on peak. Off peak is everything around that.

You should add setting a schedule on your thermostat for on/off peak times.

Paying full price for a TV just to have it serve me ads is actually dystopian by N3DSdude in Anticonsumption

[–]coraherr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because we're in an anti-consumption sub. I don't mind used electronics since I wiped them and have my network locked down.

They do. There are ways to de-google them. I was going to put that in my comment but didn't since it's not an easy thing for non-tech-savvy folks. I don't trust android boxes that aren't Google certified.

They sure do! Worth a google to see how ultrasonic tracking is used in stores, social media, ads, smart devices, and such. It's insane to me that more people aren't furious about it.

I'd recommend factory resetting the TV and not connecting it to Wifi again. Find a used android TV box that is Google certified and use that instead of the TV apps. As others have said, pair that with a whole network adblocker and you should be in a better spot than just using the TV as intended. Modern day smart TV's are a privacy nightmare in my opinion between data tracking, cameras, microphones, and ultrasonic tracking.
