  • The issues i get through linux come from my failure to understand it

    I’d argue that’s true of any user’s experience with any OS, including what you just experienced with Windows.

    Getting out of S mode is actually very trivial, certainly moreso than many of the changes one might be expected to make in Linux. There’s a certain type of user that “S Mode” is intended for. You’re not that user, and Linux is likely to be a negative experience for that user.





  • A few things stand out to me in your screenshot.

    It lists the GPU as consuming 0W, which is likely not true. Based on that, the power / current limit reason is probably inaccurate

    Your temperatures are both well below TJ Max for those components, so I don’t see the Temp limit reason as valid either.

    Your GPU utilization is at around 50%, but I also see your framerate at an even 144 - I would surmise that you have vsync enabled.









  • I want my nutrients returned to the earth.

    That means that green burial, human composting, burial at sea, and aquamation are all options.

    I absolutely do not want cremation. It’s an energy intensive process that also renders the deceased’s accumulated nutrients unavailable to other organisms.

    This thread also reminds me that I need to revoke the organ donor status from my driver’s license. As much as I like / appreciate the concept, a viable organ donation requires dying in a hospital. I would prefer to pass outdoors in a natural setting that I feel connected to or, at worst, in my own home.





  • There will certainly be areas where the trail disappears, but tracking isn’t necessarily about locating every individual footfall.

    With an understanding of movement and behavior, one can make inferences about where the animal went to find and follow the next sign.

    Even moving over rock or packed soil, sign is left. You may not be able to perceive it yourself, but to someone who spends hours a day reading and studying the ground over the span of years, those subtle differences are perceptible.

    An animal will eventually reach a place to stop and rest, but with repeated interruption that rest won’t count for much.
