  • I’d dare say the easier method, from memory the p6 should have a charge limit in the stock firmware.

    I’ve not an old Samsung s10+ kicking around with corrupted firmware, should really take a look at it and see if it can be up and running again. Not that I need more cores, ram, cameras or any additions to my equipment but just because.

    It fassinates me that consumer hardware, and low power at that goes wasted so often. So many small form factor devices such as phones, with built in ups aren’t being leveraged. But I guess that comes down to proprietary binary blobs and developer work on a per device basis.

    I might have to investigate what platforms mobile nixos supports and see if it’s cheap enough to dabble with.



  • Meds have curbed lots of my ADHD life issues, I feel that post diagnosis and taking kiddie speed most days has made a massive improvement to my quality of life.

    Having motivation to complete some basic life admin tasks or take on and complete projects has been such a massive improvement for me.

    Understanding that getting a diagnosis in Australia took me over a year, and the process was costly. I’m sure in other areas of the globe it’s a similar process, and it felt to me like it’s not streamlined for someone with such a disability but for me the outcome is well worth the battle.

    Looking back to who I was then and now, meds have opened so many doors and opportunities for me.


  • That’s an interesting way of looking at interactions with people.

    The fact that we can be so detached and yet so involved, I don’t feel the guilt is justified.

    Were not cut of the same cloth as lots of folks, and in order to cope with the sometimes difficult interactions we lead or drop a conversation to cope, letting us cope in our own way. Leaving them blind to what were actually experiencing.

    Were trying to fit in and the guilt is on them not us, don’t feel guilt for being different.

    Its a wild ride, since being diagnosed i’ve more embraced it than hidden it, but it has opened my eyes to who I am and how awful some people are.


  • 38, great at masking. I work in a highly social enviornment (hospo) and have been for ~20 years.

    Makes me feel like a sociopath but, people are relatively basic. A few quirky comments or general niceties go a long way for directing interactions the way you want them to transpire.

    Its not been without its issues / hardships, lots of socially exhausted days, awkward interactions and one complete breakdown for 6 months. Saying so I’m well ontop of interacting with the humans and knowing my social limits / when I’m going overboard in a conversation but man it’s taken me a while.





  • Wife kicked me off our joined Spotify membership (we both agreed to her using student discount for her account) so I’ve setup plexamp for my albums. I mean technically streaming but self-hosted.

    Has android auto, and the in app interface is reasonable.

    Its kind of nice, just to play an album you own vs having a neverending list of songs you might enjoy.

    Yeah my car is filthy 😇





  • Yeah have been meaning to pick a few up but it’s not been a top priority. Not really a developer more just a user that dabbles too much with a homelab while trying to be privacy & security conscious.

    The cost alone is a bit of a hurdle with money going to life / house currently and another purchase of some silly computer thing will trigger her.




  • My passkeys are stored in keypass, which I share between multiple devices. Phone, home servers, desktop pc and a flashdrive that stays in my car.

    Obviously the flash drive needs to be manually updated but the other devices use syncthing to keep everything up to date.

    I get there are some people that have concerns over such a configuration but I’m happy bopping away knowing that if my phone dies, I’ve still got access to accounts / can easily be back up and running on a fresh device.
