If it’s so easy, give it a try

Your style is something I’ve always wanted to learn, but I never knew where to start. There’s so much happening in your process that isn’t obvious when looking at the final image. Thanks for taking the time to explain it.

It’s basically reddit, but with more Linux users. You didn’t know?

Oh, yeah, I understand why. I just thought it’d look cooler if it were possible.

Yeah, that was intentional. I wanted him to hold the gourd, but the images never really came out right.

I’m glad you guys like it. I’m going to keep adding to it.

I actually found that book and managed to download a copy. I’ll start reading it tomorrow.

I’ve definitely noticed times when I’ve been in each of these states. I’ll give breaking things down into “Thoughts, Feelings, Behavior” a try too.

Thanks again for all the advice and information, it’s been really helpful!

Thanks, I use most of these techniques too. The bottom-up process you mentioned for writing is really helpful for a lot of things. I used to write documentation for work, and writing things down as if I were explaining them to someone else, like you suggested, is a great way to see things as a whole. I’ve started using a journal in the same way, just collecting my thoughts and trying to put them all together. Exercise has been a game changer. I’ve started running in the mornings and evenings, as well as lifting weights. I hate to admit it, but the exercise people were right lol

Yeah, same here. I was really impressed with it. I’ve been watching these movies without knowing much about them beforehand, and it was a nice surprise to discover this one.

I’m still learning about what they are, and I also have ADHD, which complicates things. I usually don’t pay attention to how I’m feeling, and until recently, I used to just react without really thinking. I was reading about ADHD and Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria, and I can see that this is definitely contributing to my situation. It’s more about judgments and exclusions, and less about rejection and criticism. I don’t mind being made fun of; I just want to be accepted.

Thank you. This is important, but I need to process it.

My situation is a little different, but it’s similar to the end of a long-term relationship, and I went through nearly all of what you’ve described. A few months have passed, and I feel like I’m nearing the end of whatever this is. I also reacted strongly to something insignificant, like a basketball, before I realized I needed to address it. If it’s not too personal, could you give an example of what you mean by signs of being in hypoarousal and hyperarousal? I’ve noticed situations where I’ll freeze up if I feel judged, and I’ve also caught myself stimming (rocking side to side in my chair when I’m overstimulated or stressed). I haven’t been officially diagnosed yet, but I no longer have any doubts that I’m on the spectrum.

Don’t apologize, I do the exact same thing, and I knew you didn’t want to reply unless it was high-quality. What you posted was perfect. Thank you.

For me, it’s gym shorts and a T-shirt, usually in bright colors.

The shorts are typically 100% cotton, but I also have a couple of shirts made from merino wool, which are incredibly comfortable to wear.

Take your time, I completely understand this. Thanks in advance.

Sorry about that, I missed the part about this being for your phone.

What’s that?

Nevermind, I get it now. just had to think about it for more than 2 seconds.

I’ve heard good things about copyq, but I sometimes run into compatibility issues with it for some reason. Clipx is also good, straightforward and easy to understand

Given your background and interests, I recommend starting with Ubuntu or Linux Mint. These distributions are user friendly for those transitioning from a Windows environment. Setting up a dual-boot with Windows would allow you to maintain your current setup while exploring Linux. Both Ubuntu and Linux Mint have guides to help you get started with dual-booting.

For getting started with Home Assistant or trying out large language models, I’d recommend Docker. You can keep these services separate from your systems files if you install them in container.

I tried running a 1/1Gbps connection over Cat5e at home too, but for some reason, I couldn’t get it to connect properly. Ended up switching to Cat6, and it finally stabilized. I’m still scratching my head over why the Cat5e didn’t work as expected.

What is the cost associated with Immich? I keep hearing about it, but I still don’t know how that really works I guess
