What is good to eat when you have no appetite?

I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal....

Any form of crackers works for me. Cheese flavored are the best for me, but just about any form of crackers or food that is well baked.

LTO most probably… but the tapes are expensive, so are the devices.

EDIT: We use them at work. They’re enterprise grade, so long term storage is not a problem, the price is though.

0x4E4F,

Might be an option, but I bet these things aren’t cheap.

I still backup on DVDs, make multiple copies so one doesn’t go bad. In adition, I also have a storage, so I think I’m good.

0x4E4F,

The only thing I kinda miss is the classic download tab, but I got that bookmarked and assigned a keyboard shortcut 😁.

True story, Linux sees MIME types, so if Hot.Chick.Blows.Brother.mp4 is a virus, it shows up with a Windows (MZ) binary icon, not a media icon 😉… unlike Windows which only recognizes extensions 😒.

0x4E4F,

IMO, his aproach was too strict, that’s why it failed and just caused repulsion towards Linux. There are other ways you can “make” children like things.

0x4E4F,

Yep, this is good as well. Use whatever suits the needs best, but I’d try and get him leaning towards the FOSS side - use other OSes only if you have to.

0x4E4F,

Oh, that’s different then… I thought his dad was like “run Debian, or you’re grounded”, lol 😂.

I agree on the last part, that is most definitely true. You can try, but you can’t force it 🤷. After all, his/hers gifts may lay in another field, not tech 😉.

0x4E4F,

Your Steam Deck can do that too, have a look at what this dock does

Ah, of course 👍. Maybe like let him do the first few on his laptop and then be like “you know you can do that on the steam deck, right 😏” 😁.

Is there any way I can make an old XMMS plugin work in any modern player?

Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....

0x4E4F, (edited )

Yeah, but that will be their second conversion thus far… 3rd if you count the original CD it was ripped from 😔. I do wanna avoid that.

0x4E4F,

wav takes too much space, the collection will grown 5, 6 times the size… I just don’t have that much online storage at my disposal, my NAS is 4 x 2TB drives in RAID5, I have about 6TB at my disposal for everything (personal stuff as well as media).

0x4E4F,

I was afraid that this might be the only viable solution… I would do it, but it will take A LOT of time.

0x4E4F, (edited )

Ummm… I don’t live in the US and $50 is A LOT for me. My monthly salary is about $500. All of these 2TB drives are used and dicomissioned (replaced for larger one, they’re from work). I just don’t have the funds to replace them. The NAS is DIY as well.

And drives are not that cheap around here. They are, but not as cheap as in the US. SSDs are about the same price though… but our salaries are not.

0x4E4F,

Maybe… I could try FLAC, that might be a more viable option.

0x4E4F,

Well, the challenge is interesting though… but yes, you are correct.

0x4E4F,

One thing I’ve learned over the years dealing with PC tech is that spinning drives is the one thing you absolutely don’t buy second hand. Plus, you can’t find 4TB or above drives second hand here. People use them till they die or repurpose them.

Second hand PC parts are generally overpriced here. People wanna get like 70, 80% of the price they paid for them. There are some reasonable sellers, but as I said, they usually don’t sell drives or sell drives that no one would need anyway (250GB, 500GB, 1TB spinning drives).

Your last suggestion is kinda good to be honest, I might opt for that.

0x4E4F,

Yeah, you can use it for a blog or something, just don’t put anything on the host.

Than again, there’s blogspot…

0x4E4F,

Damn, didn’t know there was a definition for a shitpost 😂.

I use the xfce CPU graph plugin for the CPU… don’t use anything for GPU, I don’t game and all my rigs run on onboard GPUs. There is also a temp plugin for xfce, I use that one as well, can’t remember the name now though… it requires libsensors to work.

0x4E4F,

They’re called dependencies 😒.

0x4E4F, (edited )

The word for father and mother (especially mother) are similar in many European languages, Slavic included, which doesn’t mean the cultures share the same roots.

Though yes, I would agree that living on the same continent meant different cultures get to share a lot, inclding language, through trade or other means.

0x4E4F,

Which one is it, lol 😂.

0x4E4F,

I would rather tinker to be honest, I am that kind of a person, but currently, my family (kid) needs me. He’s young and needs guidance, playing, attention, etc. That is more important than tinkering with tech IMO.

0x4E4F,

It’s not hitting of it was in the family chat 😂… well, at least my family doesn’t think like that 😂. It’s obvious it was a mistake and intended for someone else, why would I send a dick pic in the family chat 😉.

And no, not from Alabama… my family (and myself) are just… weird I guess 😂… funny, but weird.

0x4E4F,

And some BSD Linux wannabies.
