Psychologists diagnose, psychiatrists prescribe meds. Rarely you can go to just a psychiatrist, but it’s not the standard pattern, and you risk being perceived as a drug seeker.
Start with a psychologist - let them do their job. When you have them on your side it’s a whole lot easier for a psychiatrist to justify medication.
Many variables at play.
Price shop some independent psychologists in your area, but never mention ADHD.
Go see one and have a laundry list of things you’re struggling with (classic ADHD symptoms), let them do the troubleshooting. Be open to behaviour changes/mitigation strategies.
Part of the challenge is patients have to demonstrate willingness to work on things, and the doc has to document your start point and difficulty improving.
My Thinkpad (4 years old) runs all day, no problem. I’ve often been shocked to look at the battery in the afternoon and see it’s at 30%.
Really depends.
ARM is still better on battery life but the difference isn’t as great as it was - and that’s enough to not trade the performance and flexibility for better battery life.
X86 doesn’t need the same battery life as ARM, just not the awful life it used to have. And that’s where we are. The difference in battery life from 10 years ago is staggering. Used to be 2-3 hours run time, now I get 6-8.
Avocado is like mushy peat - it’s fucking awful.
Even the tiniest bit in a taco or whatever ruins it for me - I find it that awful.
I don’t like guac.
It makes me wonder if there’s a cilantro thing with avocado, because dirt tastes better (and I love cilantro).
Another term to search for is “centrifugal fan” - these are the type used where air flow restrictions are significant, as they can compress the air some unlike a traditional box fan. For noise, a larger fan at lower speeds is generally less intrusive.
Where’s the return on your air handler? If there’s more than one (one upstairs, one down), you may be able to cheat the system by blocking one seasonally.
Also most likely the air handler speed is set too high - installers are kind of lazy (they don’t want callbacks) so they typically set the air handler to max speed. Since most instalsl are also well oversized, this means the system will short cycle and move less air during that short cycle. Lowering the air handler speed may help lengthen the cycle, moving more air in total.
You could also try just turning the air handler on (fan mode orn"Always On" on thermostat).
This probably won’t solve your problem entirely, just maybe help.
Well Microsoft has been working on am ARM version of Windows for at least 10 years that I know of, probably longer.
But every time ARM seems so much better than x86, x86 improves to close the gap.
Power consumption has always been a big driver - laptops today now run all day on battery, or at least half a day, which competes with the ARM battery life advantage.
Just as bad, we have Johnson on tape selling it to Kennedy as a way to get past the Bay of Pigs fiasco. Kennedy didn’t believe in it at all.
Johnson wanted the pork for his constituents.
In Johnson’s defense a little, many of his constituents were quite poor and this did bring a lot of development to the area.
It also put the Soviet Union in a tough position of having to try to keep up (though they did have a stellar space program already, but going to the moon was a waste of resources).
Hell, IIRC, they had the first lander on the moon. They were well ahead of the US in many ways.
Kudos to the folks who created it. Ita really good.
Arguing with a fool is like wrestling a pig - all that happens is you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
And this has been the case since the early 70’s
Same thing that happened to them before - when they were Service Stations.
Others have addressed a lot of this - I think your best approach is to to use a structured learning process, like 30 Days of Linux. I’ll drop a link when I can find it again.
I think the biggest risk for a new user is running commands as root that you don’t fully understand.
Fortunately distros today default to creating a user account during setup so the average user doesn’t run as root by default.

You could do this in a VM before switching.
Even without a VPS Tailscale will work fine after the router resets.
The more open ports, the larger the attack surface.
That’s all.
And today with the script kiddies out there, port scans happen all the time.
I’ve had a consumer router become almost useless from all the attempted connections on an open port someone found that I had up for a week.
Months later I’d still get hits on that port though it had been closed.
Yea, Tailscale would work even if the router was fully reset.
Without a secondary internet connection this isn’t possible.
The router is the connection - its the gateway (a term we don’t hear much these days).
You could setup an independent connection via a cell modem - becoming a secondary connection. This is common for remote locations or even small businesses that need a failover just for management.
You could even have it on a single machine and have a vpn there. Then you could RDP/VNC to that one machine and manage things from there. I’ve done the VPN this way with Tailscale. One machine has it (I’ve even done it with a Raspberry Pi), then you can RDP/VNC to other machines from there.
But there’s not much I could see you doing if the gateway is down anyway.
Its not “targeted at old school”, it’s an open, extensible protocol.
If devs focused on extending the protocol instead of building an app to handle things like this, it could do it, everywhere.
There are currently over 100 extensions.
Why would they?
Oswald never shot anyone - he couldn’t have.
Does it have to be SFTP?
I use both Syncthing and Resiliosync - both are better on battery than conventional file transfer mechanisms, and they don’t require babysitting. They simply sync files as you define.
Alternatively if you must have FTP/SFTP, I have used FolderSync (Play store or Apk Mirror) since about 2010 - I’ve even bought it twice because it’s such a great app. Though I haven’t upgraded in a while because I don’t like the new UI.
The free version does pretty much everything the paid version does, and the devs have always been great.
But I’d use Syncthing, you can even set it to only sync on your wifi and while xhaeging, though I’ve found even syncing a few gigs doesn’t impact my battery (I probably sync 10GB a day while on battery).
