What's the worst you ever hurt yourself as a kid? in c/[email protected]

Nope. Other than a concussion and some face damage nothing came of it. The driver was a teenager just learning how to drive.

Got hit by a car. Blacked out. I have some scars on my face from being pushed into the road.

What technology will disappear in the next 10 years? in c/[email protected]

I don't think we will be losing optical disks ever.

If burned properly they hold storage for a very long time without data loss. IIRC Facebook burns optical disks for old photographs and instead of having a hard drive array or tape library they had a RAID based optical disk system.

Optical disks are great, but not for the daily user since most media content is online and most storage is judged on being rewritable.

I know a lot of people are going to say to use Linux.

I would honestly however go with a curveball answer you may not expect, try running Linux.

It sounds a bit silly, but I have been there a lot. For me there was thoughts left over from an unfinished day that would keep me up. It took me years to figure out what the underlying issue was. Insomnia sucks.

World of Warcraft running with low FPS and seems unstable (reddthat.com)
 

Is Linux and WoW like oil and water?

I'm running this on a laptop with a 4070. I'm getting like 7fps in something I should be getting in the hundreds of fps with.

Then I rebooted and it's like the whole thing disappeared. I'm not a full linux guy... Yet.

Any advice would be appreciated. I was using Nobara.

In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard? (reddthat.com)
 

This is assuming it's sealed and has a proper stamp. Post cards are more expensive than cheese. And who doesn't like cheese right?

I want to start with a bit of a story. A few months ago I was laid off.

I was too stressed from the layoff to eat and lost a lot of weight. My doctor said I may have cancer. I started going through tests ultimately to find out I am clear. My friend at the same time was diagnosed and died of cancer shortly after.

I found a job right away, but my other friend and coworker didn't. For the last ~10 months I searched for jobs for with him until I knew he had healthcare and medicine.

Now that he is employed I feel like I lack a purpose. I wonder why I survived and thrived when so many others can't. I really don't feel I deserved that.

I always found Buddhism interesting but a few months ago it just clicked. It was like I found where I should be. There's no temple near me that is in English and I'm far too shy for a local community. I'm kind of following what I think is a path with no clear direction at times.

I feel the need to solve the world's problems. I just don't know how. I don't know where to start. I just want to help. And I want to be a better whatever I am. I didn't take any vows. I don't really know how to proceed. Heck I don't even think I meditate correctly. I'm still alive when others are not; and I want to take advantage of that. I want to make the world better.

I'd like your input.

Edit; I got a lot of work to do. Thank you all for your kind words.

Home owners of Lemmy do you have any advice on dealing with the stress of owning a home? (reddthat.com)
 

Every drop of water, crack, ant, royally freaks me out at this point. I can't afford to rent. I own a shitty house that is a fixer upper. So frustrating.
