No one compares You stand alone To every record I own Music to my heart That’s what you are A song that goes on and on

  • I just experienced this over the last couple days.

    Both operating systems died on my dual boot system. Long story short they killed each other.

    So I switched to my laptop and made a boot disk to try and fix them. To which I discovered my favourite flash drive was acting up.

    I searched through my things for about an hour until I found another.

    To my horror I discovered massive file system corruption. But, that’s ok I have backups I’ll just install Linux again.

    Oh wow, the installer can’t understand that I want to use luks with a filesystem that supports snapshots. And the work around didn’t work anymore.

    Many tedious tasks later I’m in the os. Only for an update to fill /boot and kill my system yet again. Also screw you AMD for making your GPU + Rocm package ~20GB post install. (Unrelated but why?!)

    After all that I try to get my games going again but this new game I got the DRM screwed me over.

    Fine I’ll get windows going again …Only to discover the new windows 11 installer is super buggy and refuses to let me install in any way. (I have multiple drives all tested fine too)

    I had to resort to doing a oobe deployment. Finally got into Windows and none of my USB ports work. More effort later I’m in, bypass the Microsoft account nonsense.

    While playing my game Razer decides to do a firmware update on my mouse and it goes dead in the middle of some serious PvP action…

    During this entire process I also managed to break my phone and my internet went down.

    So the lesson from this story is to also backup your operating system(s) have a extra mouse handy and take better notes.

    :D










  • Break your project down into bite size goals. With rewards.

    Start with cleaning the bathroom. Take a nice long bath after.

    Focus on the rubbish in your bedroom, go for a small walk to the variety store. (Consider having a monster drink)

    When you come home focus on loose clothing on the floor. Put them in the wash.

    Carry on this routine. If you trust yourself not to be too distracted play some old DVDs in the background.

    Carry on with this pattern, doesn’t need to be all in the same day.

    Did you do the dishes yet?
