I don’t have ADHD but this describes nearly every morning for me as a kidney transplant patient.

I’m about 40 hours into Trails To Azure and it’s been a blast going through The Legend Of Heroes and the Trails series in order.

I think this is the case where certain people simply can’t see it here the difference.

I collect video game and movie soundtracks and the main difference I can hear between a 320kbps VS a FLAC that’s in the 1000kbps range is not straight up “clarity” in the sense that something like an instrument is “clearer” but rather the spacing and the ability to discern the difference where instruments come from is much better in a Hi-Res file with some decent wired headphones (my pair is $200). All this likey doesn’t matter much though when most users stream via Spotify which sounds worse than my 320kbps locally and people are using Bluetooth headphones at lower bitrates since they don’t have better codec compatibility like aptX and LDAC.

I have a small setup for some self hosted apps and media.

• Beelink Mini S.
• 2 external 5TB drives.
• A USB fan used as an exhaust because the SSD inside gets a bit warm.

I think total power is about 30W.

Where in California are you? Here in SoCal with SCE their PRIME Time Or Use plan is $0.26/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Totally works for my family since we work from home and drive EVs locally. We also have a 2019 Prius which gets us about 50-55 MPG and 500+ miles on a full tank for longer drives.

Edit: I should add that the standard Time Of Use plan is $0.38/kWH from 9PM - 4PM. Peak hour usage from 4PM - 9PM is somewhere between $0.53 - $0.62/kWh I think.

We mainly charge our car overnight and it works out well for us.

My family makes almond milk with our blender. It’s actually quite easy and not as expensive as buying the carton or gallon. It’s really just almonds and water (and salt or vanilla if you’re into other flavors).

My wife used to complain about my green bubbles until I reminded her that I didn’t choose that color for her. Apple did.

Dinosawrs.

I’m turning 40 this year and what’s been refreshing after not gaming for the last 5 years or so has been playing older games from the 2000s that I’ve missed. Great prices on these older titles and I’ve been having a blast playing them.

I had stopped gaming for about 5 years to focus on my career and starting a family. I’m now turning 40 this year and have been dabbling with games again but nothing really stuck until I started the Trails in the Sky trilogy. I ended up playing it a few hours every other night. Something about it was so refreshing that I’m now about to wrap up the 3rd game.

Like others have mentioned, perhaps your mood or perspective changes as you get older and it’s just about finding the right game to play.

People are mad that Sync isn’t FOSS. Luckily, the sink you posted has a FOSS-et.

Ever? That sounds too good to be true. Especially with that much RAM.

-edit-

Oh wow, I see their always free tier and it’s true. Impressive!

When I first met my now wife, we just planned on dinner. My thought was if dinner went well, I’d ask her to go down the street to the local pool hall to continue the night. We ended up eating dinner for 4 hours and were the last to leave the restaurant.

I’m glad we never ended up at the pool hall because it turns out she hated that place lol.

This looks more like Steam where users actually download and install the games.

I’m using Connect for Lemmy and so far it’s fairly good.
