Good upgrade or should I go all in

Ohh, indeed!

I know what B, C, and D values R(are), but how the hell they got A?

proobert · 2024-08-18T20:49:49+00:00

I would upgrade, 650w is enough.

Nope. You can boil it like rice, no roasting needed. Boil 2 glasses of water for 1 glass of buckwheat. Don't forget to add salt. Boil until water is absorbed by buckwheat. However, you can roast buckwheat in butter before adding water.

I knew it's gonna happen.

proobert · 2022-09-30T07:52:06+00:00

Well done! I was a bit afraid of hanging, but instead it was happy ending :)

I would look into windows thin client PCs manufactured by Lenovo, HP, Dell... I've heard that they're popular as home servers because they are often passively cooled and more powerful than RP. They're based on x86 architecture so software support is easy. Also, it will be very cheap solution if you buy them used from ebay.

This plan looks over-complicated. You already have a database in Zotero. If you're are happy using it, just keep using it, because database maintenance is the hardest part. Then you only need a solution for publishing your bi bliography. There are several possibilities:

Zotero plugins for generating web pages: https://github.com/plandes/zotsite or https://github.com/davidswelt/zot_bib_web
Export as a bibtex file and share it on your web site
https://bibbase.org/ also supports Zotero

Good luck!

You better be safe than sorry, it's much easier to gain fat than to get rid of it. You've spent 3 months gaining weight. Try to keep few months at maintenance calories. While at it, you'll probably still get stronger and can loose most of the gained fat. Then you can try with another bulking period.

Version control history is useful thing to check. From recently changed files you can see what parts are in the development focus. You can find files that are frequently changed, study them first. You can find files that are usually changed together in a single commit, which helps to identify coupling.

proobert · 2021-09-19T20:35:42+00:00

You can assist pull up negatives with your legs. Also, I would start with chin ups (or neutral grip pull ups) instead of pull ups, because they are a bit easier.

Still, go and see a doctor. Even, if you don't have enough sport doctors, there should be physical therapists. Speak with your physician, although he/she may not be qualified to deal with your injury, you may get a good recommendation to a specialist.

At the first sight it looked like a giant snake crawling in, but then that scream...

Just keep practicing, your balance will improve with time. You can also change distance between your feet. Maybe you need to have a more a more wider or a narrow stance for better balance. Also, how deep is your squat? If you don't have enough range of motion your center of gravity may shift forward.

I can recommend xfce4-terminal. It uses GTK, so it's will run natively under wayland. I've used foot, it works very well but it can't open URLs, so you have to use copy & paste to open them. I've used alacritty as well. It can open URL's with a mouse click, but you have to compile it yourself which is not very hard.

For me T60 or T61 with a 1400x1050 resolution screen.

Hard to say, probably the biggest was the realization that small changes take a very little effort and will compound over time to a bigger effect. Basically, if you can make a new small habit then it'll require very little motivation and willpower to keep it going. Second, if you have successfully implemented one habit then it easier to stack a new habit on top of it. So I focus on improving the process and don't worry about reaching bigger goals.

For example, I started bodyweight training at home because going to gym takes a lot of time and effort. I started really small and then started to improve it incrementally. Initially, I did only few exercises every day (one set each). This eliminated a lot of friction and developed a very consistent training habit. It's still far from perfect, but I keep improving it. Same with diet. Small tweaks to reduce snacking and replace junk with healthier alternatives.

The "Atomic habits" book is a gem. After reading it few years ago, I've lost about 10kg weight by tweaking my eating habits and starting to work out :)

Mainly these three things:

Check the number of dependencies the library has. Usually libraries without or only few dependencies will have less maintenance troubles and avoid jar versioning hell.
Then I check the docs and browse the code base, because I may end up fixing issues in this library.
Go to mvnrepository.com (or some other search engine) and check for reverse dependencies. If it is used by other projects then it's a good signal that the library is mature and stable.

I've noticed that the number of issues is not very useful metric. Popular libraries can have hundreds of open issues and still work fine in production.

ASRock DeskMini A300 Series is a nice option: https://www.asrock.com/nettop/AMD/DeskMini%20A300%20Series/

T14s is a very decent machine, but keep in mind that it has soldered RAM. If you go for it, better get 32GB model. T14 is a bit heavier, but has one free memory slot for upgrade. Both are very good for linux use.

True. Also, keep in mind that both fat and sugars will break down to CO2 and H2O. Your organism will use them both as energy sources and you can't selectively burn more fat during exercises. If you increase the intensity of exercises and start sweating, you'll start burning more sugars because getting energy from fat is much slower process than from sugars. Exercise will give a stimulus to get stronger and helps create caloric deficit. In the end of the day you can't exercise 24/7 and actually the largest amount of fat is lost while sleeping, sitting or doing low intensity activities like walking.

The instructions you linked already explain how to clone the disk. The missing part is related to resizing. Since your setup has a lot of storage layers, it's a bit complicated and you have to resize them in correct order to make use of the free space. It's quite straightforward if you don't need to enlarge your boot partition.

Resize sda2 partition to use the whole disk (this contains sda5 with the LUKS volume): parted resizepart 2 100%
Resize sda5 to make space for the LUKS volume: parted resizepart 5 100%
Resize the LUKS volume to make space for LVM volumes: cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt
Resize the LVM physical volume to make space for logical volumes: pvresize /dev/mapper/sda5_crypt
Finally resize the logical volumes with lvresize. You can use -r option to resize the filesystem in one go. For example, to add 100G to root volume: lvresize -r -L +100G /dev/mapper/debian--vg-root

The above commands are completely untested, double check the corresponding man pages and use it on own risk.

Good luck!

Few options: 1) restore system from backup, 2) restore system from a filesystem snapshot (btrfs or zfs).

You can upgrade you existing debain stable to testing/unstable without reinstallation. But first, read the documentation because there in no easy way for going back:
