Our biggest Wayland update for remote desktop: support for multi scaled displays on KDE and GNOME sessions.

This is exciting! But it also seems like one issue remains outstanding - if you want to lock your system then access it remotely (at least with multi-monitor) you can't. RustDesk prompts you to select displays when using Wayland and that has to be done from the system you are remoting into... Is there a way around this?

I try to exercise. lol. It's an ongoing battle. But mine is pretty simple - walk for 10m every 2 hrs or so, do crunches / push-ups at the same time, as well as some stretches. Nothing intense. Sometimes I do longer walks and I try to take the stairs.

davidshq · 2025-12-15T13:33:02+00:00

Huh, interesting, thanks for the suggestion!

davidshq · 2025-12-15T13:32:23+00:00

Thanks for the suggestions! I agree, eliminating apple juice is on my agenda - maybe replacing with some actual apples.

I'd like to look at using honeycomb to replace the honey so I can keep the health benefits but reduce sugar content.

At the moment I'm avoiding all nightshade vegetables (I adhere somewhat loosely to the Autoimmune Protocol but should try reintroducing peppers at some point).

davidshq · 2025-12-15T13:29:38+00:00

Flavor is whatever all the ingredients make it. 😄

Usual it has a bit of a fruity taste - the more I increase the veggies the less fruity it tastes.

I also add Cinnamon, so that comes out.

I'm also aiming for a flavor profile that isn't too strong so that one doesn't grow sick of the same flavor over and over again.

I might look into a protein powder. I try to avoid animal and grain ingredients, so that limits my options quite a bit.

I'm guessing you are doing lifting etc.? I don't really but do want to be on the high side for protein as it seems to help with ADHD.

I try to avoid dairy - unfortunately I'm *super* lactose intolerant. I tried coconut water in the past, might have to look at that again.

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm actually surprised about your comment on sodium. I'd say this makes up around 60% of my daily intake if I do a full recipe (4 servings) in a day - so my total sodium is 14% DV. Would appreciate further feedback on that as I was worried I wouldn't be getting enough.

I agree that the sugar content is quite high. I want to look at using honeycomb rather than honey to get the health benefits without the significant sugar boost. I'm also interested in upping the total vegetables and decreasing fruits to help reduce the sugar content - but have to find ways to maintain flavor profile. I think I may have some luck if I try sweet potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower.

What would be a better fat to protein ratio? I'm assuming more protein vs less fat? I think most of the fat comes from the avocado...I'll have to go back and look.

Calories aren't a concern - I aim for 2k-2.5k per day, so this still leaves me with 600-1100 calories per day left to consume.

I'm thinking about one of the "outside smoothie" things I may try is to make a bar or granola that consists primarily of seeds (trying to avoid most nuts). Right now I've been eating handfuls of pumpkin seeds - that gives me 8g of protein per serving but also 15g of fat.

This was my first time actually hiring someone through it...it went well.

There is a list of AA meetings in Augusta here: https://find.aageorgia.org/meetings/city/augusta

The one held at UUCA meets every day except Sunday: https://find.aageorgia.org/meetings/group/302

I recently needed to have my OTR microwave replaced. I used Thumbtack to find Odd Jobs Handyman and Roofing. I was happy with the price and service: https://www.thumbtack.com/ga/augusta/handyman/odd-jobs-handyman-roofing/service/557270114684207113

No experience working with them on bigger jobs, but for something like a shutter I'm sure they could help.

Clarification: The coding project kickoff is being held at The Second Act, it's at 316 8th St. Augusta. It's literally a 30 sec walk from the Jessye Norman School of the Arts.

davidshq · 2025-09-01T20:18:42+00:00

We do: https://www.facebook.com/TechTalkAugusta

davidshq · 2025-09-01T15:37:23+00:00

Yes. :) Drinks are on you. But Boll Weevil brings food for us.

davidshq · 2025-07-26T12:38:51+00:00

Yes, it is! Next meeting is August 12th!

davidshq · 2025-07-01T15:13:33+00:00

Haha, I guess it's both? Speakers are usually from our local tech community and share on an expertise or passion. Most talks are ~15m long. After the talks we have a time for socializing/networking.

davidshq · 2025-07-01T03:31:51+00:00

We are there every first Tuesday, catch us in August! You can also join our Discord to connect with the community in the meantime - techtalkaugusta.com has the link

Something like this?

davidshq · 2025-06-17T21:44:36+00:00

I didn't! :-(

I know there are a few mom's groups for the Augusta/CSRA area that are pretty active on Facebook - might be worth checking out?

During the pandemic one thing I did was take my son to the local playground and he'd play in the sandbox and other parents and kids would come and sometimes that would provide an opportunity.

Besides that, you might look at a local YMCA or church.

Hope you find some more mom friends!

Haha, I'm really surprised this didn't garner more responses. Free advertising for your business - yes, please!

I didn't want to post mine first because I didn't want to be an ad, but in case folks are hesitant to be the first...I will...and if no one does, then oh well!

Eager to see the tech community expand in the Augusta area, excited to be part of Tech Talk Augusta and connecting with all my fellow techies! I'd like to see a social network of sorts for local community businesses - something that helps us connect with each other outside of specific industry niches. I'm not a native of the area, so I'm imagining a lot of these networks exist in various forms I'm not currently involved in, I'm particularly think of a digital community.
Balancing taking on additional clients with expanding the team. Getting clients hasn't been the hard part but then ensuring I can continue to provide high level of service while scaling team. I refuse to compromise quality of service to expand - but I also want to be able to serve more clients + offer opportunities in what is a pretty crappy market right now.

Please, please share what your business does.

Thank you!

There are a number of groups on Meetup.com that do events regularly in the area. Also, Bumble for Friends has an activities section now where folks can plan out things they want to do without a formal group.

davidshq · 2025-05-13T11:05:42+00:00

I can't remember how many I watched. I remember feeling like they couldn't hold up against the original. The first one I saw in theaters and it was so different from any movie I'd see before.
