Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • Thanks, a lot of useful infos!

    If you have time and if you want, could you please tell me if this entry works?

    Also I avoided the "remaining_symptoms" part as I did not fully grasped which ailments are still a problem, and which are new

    I think I might have also got the age wrong but is not necessary if you don't want to share too many personal info :)

    "000004": { "diagnosis": "AuDHD", "treatment": ["Vyvanse"], "age": "24", "years_in_treatment": "4", "remaining_symptoms": [ "" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • Hahaha let me try to compile a draft, is still a very useful report

    Maybe if you have time and you don't forget about it (would understand), tomorrow you will be more prone to complete the missing parts :)

    Thank you anyway!

    "00000X": { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["stimulants"], "age": "", "years_in_treatment": "", "remaining_symptoms": [ "?" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["lisdexamfetamine ", "sertraline"], "age": "43", "years_in_treatment": "25", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus","executive dysfunction","interm memory disorder","depression","racing thoughts" ], "attention_span": "45", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

    Super useful insight and thanks a lot taking time to compile the statistics! Inserted :) Also, I agree medication is not the holy grail and that's why I am compiling this for-fun statistic: while awareness has increased, ADHD is still way misunderstood often

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • thanks a lot for the details! Inserted as 000002 :)

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?
  • Thanks for sharing!

    Would you agree that the entry could be like:

    "000002": { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": [""], "age": "", "years_in_treatment": "", "remaining_symptoms": [ "excessive talking", "hyperfocus", "rotating interest", "doom scrolling" ], "attention_span": "", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

    ? For statistics purpose of course, as stated in the post. Also feel free to (or to do not, is just a little interesting game) fill the rest of the details :)

  • Treated ADHD and remaining symptoms: your experience?

    I'd like to know from anyone who is treated satisfactorily whether they have any symptoms that persist and resist treatment, and if so, which ones. Ideally, I'd like to collect enough data to produce some sort of statistics (not scientific, of course). Feel free to use any format and language you like.

    For me:

    • The urge to fidget
    • Attention span, which is better but rarely exceeds an hour
    • Hyperfixation and hyperfocus

    EDIT: Got hyperfixated, compiling the following JSON from your answers, so feel free if you want to follow the template :)

    { "diagnosis": "ADHD", "treatment": ["fluoxetine", "methylphenidate XR"], "age": "30", "years_in_treatment": "3", "remaining_symptoms": [ "fidgeting", "hyperfixations", "hyperfocus" ], "attention_span": "60", "record_date": "31/05/2024" }

    Seeking Expert Advice: Enhancing Privacy and Security on Windows Platform (beyond Atlas)

    I am not native so I am using DeepL Write (big shoutout) to correct this, so sorry if something is off.

    Hey folks, I'm diving deeper into privacy and security across my devices and could really use your advice. I mainly use Linux but sometimes switch to Windows for specific needs. On my phone, GrapheneOS has been a solid choice for privacy.

    For my Windows setup (affectionately named 'Trombone'), I'm running AtlasOS with a VPN that has a kill switch, all behind a Pi-Hole secured router. My browser of choice is Firefox, with extensions like Privacy Badger to minimize fingerprinting, and I avoid cloud services.

    I'm reaching out to see if there are any additional steps or tools you'd recommend to further enhance my privacy and security. If you've got experience with similar setups or have faced any related challenges, I'd really appreciate your insights.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can share. Let's help each other make our digital spaces safer!

    [KDE] Think Essentially

    I am once again here to announce to the world that I got bored once again.

    You can see my previous iterations of my desktop by clicking on my profile. For the lazy ones:

    Suddenly, I felt an urge to clean things up. I am on the go so I had to do a single screen disposition.

    Tech stack:

    • KDE Plasma (as in Kubuntu)
    • Latte-Dock (from Ubuntu repo, straight)
    • That background

    Plasma Widgets:

    Icon pack: Fluent Dark

    About the latte panels:

    • The dock on the left autohides
    • Both the panels have strong shadows, no blur and low opacity

    Advices for the Ricenauts:

    • Maybe is just me, but I am pretty convinced that most of wallpaper websites have cryptominers
    • thot RAM works quite well, thot CPU doesn't. Don't waste your time trying

    Playing on Linux with an AMD Laptop and 16GB RAM (shared with integrated GPU): A follow up
  • For a game with a minimum requirement of 16GB, yes, 16GB of shared memory with iGPU is low spec

  • Playing on Linux with an AMD Laptop and 16GB RAM (shared with integrated GPU): A follow up

    Some days ago I wrote this post documenting my experience in playing Palworld on Linux using Steam / Proton / Wine on a supposedly almost out of spec laptop.

    To help with this follow up, my specs are as follow:

    • CPU AMD Ryzen 7730u (8c/16t) - RAM 16GB shared with the iGPU (2GB dedicated) - SSD fast enough to not be the bottleneck - Ubuntu Linux 23.10 with xanmod 6.7.0 kernel - Proton Experimental (tested with GE-25 and GE-27, same results)

    Where were we

    Last time I posted, I could barely get stable 20fps using all low settings in fullscreen.

    Where are we

    Now I am able to get almost stable 30fps (locked, see next chapter) in fullscreen using all low settings

    The settings (aka how to play Palworld on low spec hardware on Linux, at least with AMD)

    Prerequisite

    • Install Gamemode and verify it works - (optional) Install Mangohud to monitor your performances - Ensure you have Gamescope on your system - Steam and the game either installed or added manually

    Installing the two mods we need

    • Install this mod (yes it works on desktop too); pay attention to not select the FSR2 version, instructions are included in the README
    • Then install this mod that supposedly enable FSR3; DISCLAIMER: I have no idea if this is effective or not, as theoretically gamescope only supports FSR1. Anyway, I have it on

    TLDR After modding

    If you are on Ubuntu

    apt install -y mangohud gamemode gamescope

    Else

    Install the dependencies manually

    Then

    • Right click on Palworld in Steam - Paste this in the "Launch Options" box

    VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr,dx11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 gamemoderun gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -w 1152 -h 648 -F fsr -r 30 -o 20 -f -- mangohud %command% -dx12

    Why and what is this

    That's the preset I game with. Basically, besides setting some tweaks for Vulkan:

    • It uses gamemoderun from Gamemode to ensure the system is optimized for games
    • It uses gamescope to forcefully set the internal resolution of the game to the values indicated by -w and -h (lowercase) upscaled to -W and -H (uppercase)
    • To do this, it uses fsr (specified as the -F option). The -r flag locks the FPS at 30, while the -o flag locks the FPS at 20 when the window is not active (win+tab for example)
    • The last command is optional, and is mangohud that adds its overlay to the game. You are highly encouraged to use something like GOverlay to tweak mangohud

    My settings

    My settings are tweaked for my hardware. Feel free to experiment. In my experience, the sweet spot for gamescope (which by the way is probably one of the most noticeable difference) is 1280x720.

    Conclusion

    You should see huge improvements in terms of performance with some compromises on the graphical side.

    If something breaks, not my fault.

    Happy penguin gaming!

    Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences
  • Also i am gonna to post an updated version of this report, you helped me a LOT!

  • Our shift ends in 10 minutes, dude. It's probably nothing.
  • If only the CEO of the Death Star had treated them properly, they might have been more interested in their jobs.

  • Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences
  • The funny thing is I play on Steam (🏴‍☠️), with steam recognizing the game as legit . I obtained (legit ofc) the 0.1.4 and with -dx12 (on 0.1.2 and on 0.1.4) the fluidity is way better indeed while the RAM usage still is almost too much for a 16gb laptop with 2gb shared vram. Playable tho. I will consider installing some mod to enhance performances if they does not look so lame, else ill just kill every other process except palworld and use the dx12 trick. Thanks!

  • Great news from 2023
  • On this i completely agree (although 9 days later)

  • Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences
  • You have literally 4x my ram, no wonder it works fine

  • Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences
  • Hello! sorry for the terrible delay! First of all, thanks! Then: do you use Steam to launch it? If so, you put -dx12 in the launch options?

  • Great news from 2023
  • Honestly Proton is great but Windows for gaming is still the best of the three main oses

  • FPS drops at random intervals [SOLVED]
  • Can we have the link?

  • Multiplayer Thread
  • Shouldn't we, like, decide a server to play on? Or how it works, I am confused about the mp in this game

  • Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences
  • Integrated, the 7730U has a AMD Radeon RX Vega 8 If i am not mistaken

  • Playing on Linux / MacOS: Proton | Wine | Steam Deck experiences

    As per title, I am currently playing on Linux using Proton GE Custom latest version (8.27 but also tested 8.25).

    My experience is the following.

    Specs

    • Ryzen 7 7730U (8c/16t) Laptop
    • 16GB RAM (14 RAM + 2 VRAM)
    • Decent performance SSD
    • Ubuntu Linux 23.10 (with Xanmod 6.7 x64v3 Kernel)
    • Wayland

    Experience

    • Could not test anything above Low settings due to severe stutter even in the menu and 95% RAM which lead to PC being stuck

    • At low settings with different resolutions (from 720 to fullscreen 1080) i have 80-85% RAM usage (starting from a 21% base load) and 25-ish FPS performances

    Workarounds

    • Once you get the game installed, add it to Steam as a non steam game pointing directly to the game .exe, compatibility forced to Proton GE or Proton Experimental
    • If it gives you some Visual C++ dependencies error, use ProtonTrick to install it in the Steam prefix
    • I did not find any performance tips and tricks

    Conclusion

    While being playable, I feel that the game can see huge improvements on Linux. However, I think there is also a lot of telemetry (local or remote) / logging in the mix as every pre-release version has (looking at you My Time At Sandrock) and probably the graphics part (especially the engine part) needs to receive some improvements too, so I bet in about 1 month we will see a steady 40-ish FPS with those settings

    Cheers

    Just an idea to make the Fediverse better, what do you think about it?

    I have this proposal for ActivityPub

    NOTE: This proposal is based on https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#authorization and https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/ActivityPub/Authentication_Authorization consulted on 06 January 2024.

    • Considering that the entire section on safety considerations is presented as non-normative
    • Given that "at the time of standardisation there are no strongly agreed mechanisms for authentication. " as per the above reference
    • Assuming that the ultimate goal is to have a decentralised, persistent and verifiable identity.

    Premise: The following proposal represents a radical and potentially disruptive change to the current ActivityPub specifications. In particular the following parts:

    • ActivityPub clients authenticate to a server using OAuth 2.0 bearer tokens.
    • Related OAuth considerations

    It is also important to note that the following proposal can coexist with current OAuth authentication.

    The proposed encryption algorithm (ED25519) can and should be updated in the event of a vulnerability or major upgrade.

    Suggestion

    I have no idea how to write a document like this correctly, and I am probably doing it wrong, but my only goal is to stimulate discussion.

    The proposal is as follows.

    ActivityPub clients authenticate against a server using ED25519 signatures In general, bearer tokens can be easily replaced by signatures in almost every aspect. Advantages:

    • Servers don't need to store anything other than a session token.
    • Authentication is decentralised and context independent
    • Your key is your identity: no server breach can expose your data
    • There are mature libraries like node-forge (for nodeJS and TS) and many others that allow easy implementation of authentication.

    I have tried to think about possible downsides, but the goal of this post is to stimulate discussion, please keep it respectful, but of course criticism and additions are welcome!

    Out of frustration after hours digging and finding them, I want to share with anyone that needs them the working drivers for all the (ones I know) Goodix fingerprint drivers, usually found on Lenovo IdeaPad (like the IdeaPad 3 Slim) but also on other laptops.

    The url contains all the info needed.

    The debian packages have been mirrored from either Dell's repo and AUR backdigging.

    It should be only for debian/ubuntu based distro but by extracting the .deb archives and copying the directory structure I am pretty sure they will work anywhere.

    Anyway, issues and pull requests are more than welcome.

    I did not find these anywhere else.
