I bet this test would have to be done in person so it’s three-dimensional but it is interesting…

I’ve seen that illusion IRL and it’s mind boggling. I had to look at it from up close to figure out what was actually going on. It looks like a face that’s following you around the room.

I agree that as test, it likely has to be administered in person, or maybe in VR. But that video managed to mess with my brain regardless.

If anyone has a solution for the type of acid reflux that keeps you awake at midnight, let me know.

I’m thinking about taking pictures of my mouse and keyboard collection to get my mind off my esophagus, but this doesn’t seem optimal.

Someone upload me into an Atlas already, I’m tired of this fleshy body and all the problems that it has… :sob:

Have you tried prilosec? Worked for me in college, though I heard it has some pretty rare and bad side effects. I’ve done no research to confirm that though

Short term I assume you tried Tums?

Though probably the best method would be lifestyle changes unfortunately

Omeprazole, that stuff is effective but it’s not great for long term use.

I should buy some…

I should probably start by reducing my anxiety and eating better…

Yeah, really sucks when the advice is always ā€œeat better, sleep better, have a good schedule, exerciseā€ etc.
I’m sure you’ve heard this before, but don’t skip meals, don’t eat right before bed.

Seems like you can try drinking some water with a bit of baking soda mixed in for a super short term solution.

This isn’t health advice, do your own research, be smart, etc etc etc

I’ve never had it, but logically I would suggest sleeping reclined rather than flat.
Let gravity be your friend?
Is that something you have tried?

Papaya enzymes worked wonders for me

Wow, I don’t know anyone else who takes them. They’re great. Though I find they work best on indigestion and bloating, not so much acid reflux

The solution needs to be catered to your specific problems and behavior really. if it’s been going on for too long you might be in GERD stage which means, probably, permanent drug management.

my wife

she had esophageal encephalitis with gastric involvement… but we were able to sort out some issues with diet and behavior and it’s gone and she’s off proton-pump inhibitors now. if you want to DM chat about it or open a public thread i’m game… will be asking some PII questions though.

Why would sacrificing a really useful UI that doesn’t need a GUI and works over a network with very little bandwidth for those crazy ideals help Linux?

Most shells have autocomplete, just press the tab key.

Most distrios are not made for the average user and that’s ok. Your home router/modem/wifi box wouldn’t be running Linux without the command line. And the same applies to servers. It’s supposed to be close to Unix in form and function, hence why it’s very different from Windows and that’s ok.

Besides, open source is about freedom. Forcing developers to create GUIs and requiring video hardware would be absurd.

Can you show me on the doll where did VIM touch you? I know that you were not allowed to leave. :flushed:

I’m really trying to understand Linux as well, and it’s been a struggle. I was primarily Windows and I switched to Mac about 10yrs ago. Not because I like the apple ecosystem, but because I wanted to easily learn multiple OS’s. At the time Apple have the option to dual boot and with a VM I could bring in Linux to the mix as well.

It let me dive into a command line a bit more. But it was hard to learn the slight difference from Windows command line.

I wouldn’t say I’m proficient but I can get around. Switching into my Linux VM I’m still very very basic. I want to really like WARP and I feel like it has helped me understand some of the command structure. I feel like if WARP was around when I first started it would have made the transition easier for me to grasp and understand.

I’m still completely ignorant to Linux networking and how that works.

I’ve been trying to fix a Windows 11 VM for 6 days now that doesn’t have Internet access but can ping everything on the network except the gateway. It’s irritating.

What is your host OS?
I’m assuming the VM is W11.
What Hypervisor are you using?
Can you dump your Hypervisor network settings?-Screenshots/etc?

Proxmox.

I have other vms in the setup and they get DHCP just fine.

Windows11 Pro

I’ve reinstalled Windows from iso and the latest virtio drivers 13 times. It never gets DHCP, cannot see the gateway.

It can see every other device on the network.

It worked fine for about a year and then it off no where no longer gets Internet.

I’ve built the VM from scratch at least 6 times.

Next I’m going to just try to do Windows 11 home thinking maybe it’s expecting some group policy to be added for Internet or something…

Okay, I had a Win10-KVM get the same issue about a year ago too. I’ll check those settings on my rig when I get home as I’m pretty sure proxmox just uses KVM for everything.

Charging you to stream your own media from your own connection. The sheer balls… but we all knew it was coming at some point. Frankly I’m glad. This means projects like Jellyfin are just going to get that much more attention and development.
