  • Does Cold Waters work well on the Deck?

    I’ve been hoping that the new Sea Power: Naval Combat in the Missile Age will work well on the Deck in a year or so, and was planning to stick to Dangerous Waters until then.

    My P-3 (maritime patrol aircraft) bindings are shared on the community bindings already!

    DW runs incredibly efficiently. The graphics look like 1999 anyways, so I just dial the TDP all the way down to 3 W and set FPS to 20. Perfect game when the battery is low!. I haven’t modded it at all, I actually like the retro vibe (and the incredible sonar simulation).

    I am so happy for you. Loving yourself and being kind to yourself is so vital and can be very difficult. It still is for me.

    I recognize a lot of what you guys here have, but to a lesser degree: apparently my “life difficulty” setting is not set that high. I seem to be extremely lucky to not have eating or sleeping problems at all, which keeps the rest manageable.

    I deeply respect all you troopers, wherever you may be, for living life on the hard and extreme difficulty levels.

    Hope you find the therapy and/or medication that helps. In the meantime, the dishwasher and the occasional strong coffee (not regularly as that won’t work) should help.

    Keep on keepin on!





  • Thanks for the pointers!

    /etc/dracut.conf and /etc/dracut/conf.d are empty, except for comments. According to my search skills, that is correct, as dracut defaults are fine.

    systemd-boot entries files were missing for the missing kernels. bootctl update and bootctl install showed error codes, probably bescause systemd-boot was set up by a partition/OS that I no longer have. /usr/lib/systemd/boot was empty, but /boot/efi/EFI/systemd contained the systemdx64 efi file.

    I ended up manually creating a new boot entry for the new 6.11.8 kernel, based on the one I booted off of, and due to failures in bootctl install and bootctl update copied over the /boot/efi/EFI/systemd/systemd-bootx64.efi file to the /usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi dir, then re-triggering bootctl install. I have no idea if this fixes the issue, but the Linux Specialist ChatGPT took me this way based off of your suggestion and my OP.

    I will be back here if the issue persists. Hopefully this systemd-boot failing fixes it.

    I think this image on the Felidae wiki sums it up pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felidae#Phylogeny

    Note that everything in this graph is extinct, except the 2 circled subfamilies at the bottom.

    EDIT: I basically know nothing about biology and paleontology and am just an amateur wiki-binger, but it seems that the half-whale was further away philogenetically from any live mammals.

    I’m guessing that the fact that this is not just some bones but a very well-preserved mummy is what makes this find special.





  • The Pomodoro method works for me. Set a timer for 25 minutes. Decide the task (or task list) you’re going to do. Make it as specific as possible, for example “write 10 ideas of things to do at work next year and rate them by how desirable and achievable they are”. Then start the timer and do the task. When the timer goes off, you have to take a 5 minute break. Whether you’ve been productove or distracted, doesn’t matter. You HAVE to take a break. Drink something, go to the toilet, reply to a message whatever. Timer goes off after 5 minutes of break time. You’ve got a fresh start to try again.

    For me, the first pomodoro is often wasted, sometimes even the first 2, but the forced break (I only have 25 minutes to a “deadline”) and mental reset afterwards help to create that setting to be productive.
