  • Check dat sleep apnea, study can tell you or latest Apple Watch claims to tell you too. If you sleep on your back try side/tumtum, avoids it better. Snoring is usually indicative of sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is your body lowkey suffocating and trying not to die, it’s a fight and your body ain’t good at fighting it. Info dump cause sleep apnea is bad for your heart, and you need it for stuff and things



  • 🅱️ruh that’s ducked up, try antihistmemes H 1 and 2 (H1 allergy: Loratadine; H2 tum tum: Famotidine) at the same time next time you’re going into a sitch that causes the welts. They’ll reduce select inflammation that might cover whatever the fuck that is 🤷‍♀️ seems long covid inflammation is related to H1/H2 receptors often

    Be wary H1 haves have major side effects, some (Zyrtec, Allegra) are addictive and you’ll have withdrawal symptoms. Loratadine/Claratin might make you depressed. All gen 1 will bulldoze your brain, light af touch with them.













  • Backup drive doesn’t need to be anything more than holding your (ideally daily) backup of your main drive(s). It doesn’t need to be powered up and spinning all the time, it can be in the same computer. Spinning up and down causes major wear on hard drives, but I think spinning up once a day for backups is fine and won’t stress it.

    For example, have 3 used enterprise drives in my computer case: 2 in BTRFS RAID1 (mirror) as a data drive and 1 with BTRFS as a backup drive. I use snapshotting to mirror the data drive to the backup drive. I then use restic to copy essential data from the backup drive to a remote cloud location (friend’s house with a 4th smaller hard drive - if I did not have a friend with a hard drive I would use hetzner most likely). My Linux ISO’s don’t go remote, but my photos do.

    Thus I have immediate redundancy (and bit rot protection) from the BTRFS RAID1 data drives, I have a local full backup with the BTRFS backup drive, and I have my essential stuff far away if the computer explodes or something.

    Edit: again, if I was going to save cash I would drop the RAID1 from the data drives and just get 1 data drive and 1 backup drive. RAID1 is never as good as an independent copy.
