You’re playing in hard mode, then. Maybe cutting back on work hours temporarily and/or adding on a few more semesters is an option.

Salmiakki.

You should absolutely positively not work and be doing anything time-intensive on the side while you are studying. Unless you want to burn out and fail, of course.

Linux has been fine as a desktop since i386 days.

Use alternative ROMs while that’s still an option.

How long have you been taking it? It just stopped working for me after 6 months.

In Germany they won’t cut off your Internet connection. They’ll send you a cease and desist for a few thousand euros.

No, you could never buy books on Amazon, only rent them. Calibre with DeDRM plugin was a poor way to liberate them, given that formatting in libre formats was often worse than the original.

I stopped doing that and ingnored the Kindle ecosystem in general. I tried a Kobe reader with .epub books from diverse sources but I mostly use tablets (LineageOS and GrapheneOS) to consume content these days. The reader apps are not that great there, sadly.

Just use NFS then.

Dunno, for now Ironfox and Vanadium as a fallback work for me on mobile. I’m open to alternative browsers when the upstream fails.

Side effects became too annoying. My job is currently not sufficiently stressfull, so I can do without. Not getting stuff done is a tradeoff, but I’m too old to care.

I was on atomoxetine before it suddenly stopped working, then on methylphenidate which only fucked me up and then on lysdexamfetamine which worked best. I have been off medication for a few years now.

Ironfox.

Great writeup.

How much is a kWh in your parts? Noise, ambient temperature? You can buy very decent refurbished Lenovo tiny PCs with some 16 GB RAM and 6 cores and half a TB SSD which will run Proxmox and are low power and noise. You can go multi-node Proxmox later if you want to expand. k8s and related are also an option.

DIY few kWp solar payback is about 2 years.

In Germany consumer power is something like 0.4 EUR/kWh, so economics of running power-hungry hardware might be different. Solar PV might change the equation once again.
