  • Do you have any idea what your hardware is actually pulling from the outlet? Maybe it’s not that bad after all?

    Mine is pulling around 55W from the wall in its “normal” state. Meaning two 3.5" HDDs spun up, and a bunch of light services running. Which is squarely in “not great, not terrible” territory.

    Apart from flipping the power saver switch on the mainboard I haven’t done anything to save power. I haven’t checked if that’s doing anything either. It’s a 3rd gen core i5 iirc, which isn’t great at idle power consumption, so maybe that switch is doing something…

    I also haven’t had any luck with getting the drives to spin down reliably anyways, and afaik it’s better for them to just stay spinning so I haven’t bothered much to change that.

    Das ist tatsächlich der allerbeste Zeitpunkt. Habe aber oft keinen Bock nachm duschen.

    Alternativ hilft es einen Waschlappen mit heißem Wasser nass zu machen und den vorher auf dem Bart/Wasauchimmer zu drücken.

    Das geht ein wenig in die selbe Richtung.



  • Lots of thoughts on this, but text is a really difficult medium to convey them, for me at least.

    I think I’ve been/am in a similar situation, and honestly, it’s not easy. Idk even know what to write my thoughts are a mess too.

    Usually this stuff takes time, and I often had to relearn things, both of these things are very frustrating… Communication is key though, and super hard, especially when emotions get involved.

    It helps to keep in mind that emotions aren’t rational and we don’t choose them, so don’t blame anyone. And needing distance is a very reasonable thing. I don’t think it discounts your love, but it can be very hard to give space when you miss someone terribly.

    What I also had to relearn a lot is:

    I can’t solely be responsible for someone else’s wellbeing.

    I can help ofc, but I won’t be able to if I disregard my own needs while trying to do so.

    That’s my unorganized 2 cents :D

    edit: also best of luck for both of you.
