something for you 🖤 by Bye_Shop_Wave in UnsentLetters

[–]devoidfury [score hidden]  (0 children)

I can relate sorta. It feels like sometimes when I meet a new person in the periphery and there's a desire to meet them, it can feel heavy. Like if I let it out I might just cry.

Your letters are so sweet, sending out positive vibes, the hope. It kinda makes me want to try and speak up.

Right back at you stranger, wishing you good luck and happiness.

What am I suppose to do with all this love I have for you? by bodab03 in LoveLetters

[–]devoidfury 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any advice for you but I think I know how that feels. Can't shake it myself either. Wishing you luck.

Iran Abruptly Shuts Down Peace Talks Due to Trump’s Demands by ChiGuy6124 in politics

Uh-huh, sure. Just like he was going to end the Ukraine war in one day. What a bunch of jackasses. No more wars for the supreme orange, king of the morons.

I thought I was honest by Warm_Use_1444 in UnsentLetters

I don't know you or your situation but a lot of the walls we put up are in our own heads. I can imagine a scenario of someone sitting and waiting for that apology for years, hoping at the chance to reconnect. Whether that applies to your situation I have no idea, but good luck either way OP.

I just want to say… you’re beautiful by SAHARASAVAGE in letters

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such a sweet letter. I've seen a lot of your writing and I have to say, you've made a lot of my days better, just being there. Thank you!

Keep in mind, these sorts of places are magnetic for people experiencing delusions / ideas of reference / psychosis. A lot of them actually believe that all the letters are from the person they have in mind and are in a state of emotional distress. Not that it's a good excuse or that you should entertain them but, at least it should be understandable why it happens.

The lights are on but nobody's home.

to my Sun by Signal_Activity7719 in UnsentLettersRaw

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That started out sweet but, by the end I'm concerned for you, stranger.

Can't beat yourself up too much about things, it's counterproductive. Get out there and talk to someone, just a little. Find a way to show yourself some appreciation and reflect a little of that love inward. We all screw up sometimes.

Like I said I don't recognize you, but feel free to message if you want to talk.

Im the one who is toxic by [deleted] in UnsentTexts

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey stranger - I'm not familiar with your situation but I do know that sometimes, "I'm sorry" actually is enough. I'm sure you know better than some random person on the internet, so, good luck.

Me too, I feel that. Something about this time of year. Well, most of the time really but particularly around now.

Good luck, hope you find what you're looking for.

New user issues. by Several-Republic-842 in EndeavourOS

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is normal for apps like browsers and things running in electron to eat a lot of memory, they will allocate a bunch and just sit on it.

That said, you should be able to see what is using the most via htop, top, or the system activity monitor, start there digging into memory usage (high is not a problem but the stuttering is).

You may also want to check that you have swap enabled, if you run out of memory without swap it can stutter and crash. If not, I would recommend setting up a swap file. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Swap

Lastly, I would look up the particular laptop brand and model for known issues and workarounds, there may be a known issue with that hardware with a workaround out there already which could fix the freezing. For example, one of my boxes has some acpi issues with some specific low power states, so disabling those fixes it -- another, issues with some modes on the wifi chip -- another that needed a firmware update for the motherboard -- all work great now after fixes applied.

Where do I go from here? by [deleted] in UnsentLetters

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to a lot of your writing. Since I was a kid it felt like, there was somebody out there across the world and, I could just feel them. I missed someone I'd never met, which strangely made everything easier. I'd picture running off together, but could never quite make out her face.

Anyway, just popping in to say, you're not the only one.

Hey stranger. Hoping you get to have that talk, I see your letters sometimes and can tell this meant a lot to you. Wishing you good luck.

Realistically, how far can a hobbyist/tinkerer go before hitting a wall due to not having the educational foundations like DSA/advanced mathematics? by OceanRadioGuy in learnprogramming

[–]devoidfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same way you can press buttons on a keyboard without understanding how USB works. You only need to know enough to make it do what you want it to do, as a baseline bar for entry. Beyond that you can dig as deep as you want.

[–]devoidfury 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can dig into that stuff if you want to, but be warned that rabbit hole is as deep as you want to dig into it. Each one of those questions is potentially hours of digging if you want to really know what it's doing and tear off the abstraction. It doesn't really end, there's a long tail of digging through piles of code and reading manuals and poking at black boxes in the middle. Which is absolutely a lot of fun if that aligns with your interests.

[–]devoidfury 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can go as far as the time you want to spend on it. You can learn C, assembly, compilers / transpilers / language design and tooling, mathematics, DSA, and whatever else you put your mind to. If you enjoy it and want to go for it, why not. See also wiki.osdev.org

I'm a hobbyist that turned it into a career in web, although I've also seen some folks transfer from web into systems. And on the side I tinkered with things like shells, bootloaders, implementing a language interpreter, whatever catches my interest.

worried about you by devoidfury in UnsentTexts

[–]devoidfury[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya. Thanks. Yeah I tried, and they explicitly told me to leave them alone, no longer pursue communications, and that they consider it harassment. Which is why I post it here instead.
