From what I gathered the (germany centric?) available "Tolino" eReaders are just a rebranding of Kobo (or the other way round). So depending on the model the OS should also run on Tolinos right?

I am also not a doomscroller but a frequent "let's check if something new is happening" leads me to randomly picking up my phone regularly. It's almost automatic by now. Middle of work? "Muscle memory" sort of grabs phone, unlocks it, opens emails, messengers. Nothing new? Just close.

TL:DR;: For me (not a doomscroller) it's sort of automatic to check my mails and messages. Not thinking much while grabbing the phone

I feel like Manjaro is approaching some hardware companies and offering some sort of patnership.

Minisforum is also exclusively(?) marketing Manjaro for their MiniPCs (besides Windows of course).

I was diagnosed with thyroid problems (hashimoto) when I was around 18. Now, 12 years later, I can safely say: It did help with some of the tiredness, a specific kind of tiredness.

I am still tired in a different way. I feel like I either need a lot of sleep in general (usually 9-10 hours) or something else is up.

Invidious might be something worth looking at

You can probably even rollout your own matchmaking for csgo. People did it for dota 2. There are older modified dots 2 versions out there where people have setup custom matchmaking servers (iirc)

This. I always had very bad skin and seemingly random outbreaks of my dermatitis. Also breathing issues (asthma related) would appear in tandem.

I figured it out when peeling some potatoes and my skin started itching horribly. Turned red and all.

Tried to avoid potatoes and it's a night and day difference for my overall health.

Also: Sweetpotatoes are not potatoes :)

TIL why some images I view through VR HMDs seem more 3d than they should be.

I had https://github.com/mcguirepr89/BirdNET-Pi running last summer with great success. Might be worth a look.

Oh wow. A bit unrelated but 10 MWh is a lot for me. Even the mentioned 6 MWh for Hawaii.

Here in Germany the average (single household) is at around 1.5 MWh.

My first instinct would be "of course, US households almost all seem to have AC installed" as opposed to Europeans. But then again, we're cooking with electricity (at least the majority) instead of gas.

Is there a good resource for a utility breakdown? I would be interested to see where those high numbers come from.

Iirc "Tolino" readers in Germany (and maybe rest of Europe) are just rebranded Kobo readers. So... In a sense they took off here?
