Kipf then “infiltrated” other states’ death registry systems using credentials stolen from other people to infiltrate private businesses, government and corporate networks (allegedly the booking systems of a number of hotel chains), and then tried to sell access to the networks to potential customers online.
Because my new intel integrated graphics cause Wayland to run like a slideshow.
Yeah I know. Never said different.

I expect nothing less from someone whose profile picture is an anime child smelling feet.
It’s definitely a crutch for me. I’ve used exercise several times recently to give myself an attitude adjustment.
There’s someone at my work who really needs to see this…
People will spend hours learning things that save them seconds.
Check out gear by GL.iNet. They’re pretty cheap, albeit low specced, but they come with OpenWRT flavor preinstalled. They’re an unbelievable value proposition and I’ve been running mine with no noticeable issues since September. For you I would look at something like their GL-AX1800. Poke around on their store, but that AX1800 is just shy of $100 in the US.
I got mine specifically because of my home lab set up and them being recommended by my work’s cybersec manager.
We have also seen the budget range improve in quality and affordability. There will always be cheap junk TVs and overly expensive TVs, but that midrange, where most people buy, has become rock solid. There just isn’t much region to upgrade at the moment.
I can’t believe just how called out by this post I feel. There are lots of good tips and recommendations throughout this thread, but this one in particular seems to sum up not only my behaviors that I described above, but with a lot of oddities in how I do things. In particular, these are some notable items you mentioned that I do on a regular basis:
I really appreciate this comment. It’s one of the few that are really emphasizing that these are habits that seem more design, subconsciously, to pull me away from true feelings. Some feelings I tend to experience in connection with these episodes lack of purpose, imposter syndrome, hurt, etc. I’ve been responding to commenters throughout that I think therapy and mindfulness of these behaviors is my most logical next steps, but I’m really appreciative of the recommendations and personal experiences you’ve shared with us. It definitely makes me feel like I’m not alone in this world.
A few of my coworkers swear by it but I’ve never given it much attention. I’m going to download it this morning and play around with it - see what all the hype is about.
Thanks! I really appreciate seeing that. I try to be as kind to myself as I can, and to others. Cheers.
I think this is a really good point… I have been struggling a lot lately with purpose. I bet that’s a component to all this. I’ll be taking some extra time to evaluate how I’m doing.
Thank you, I plan to do just that.
I’m a little curious about what you do
I don’t mind! I am a data scientist at an academic research institute. We have almost complete freedom with our technical devices due to the policies in place by our university’s IT arm. We don’t even have to domain our machines if we choose not to.
I was having a chat with another commenter and this sort of behavior tends to arise when I have a slowdown at work. Luckily it hasn’t tangibly affected my output, but it has a dramatic effect through opportunity cost - where I could be learning something that would improve my output and skillsets.
OS across team members (about 15 people) vary widely by project, but most people have permanence with MacOS and Windows, with the former being the bulk. We also have several team members who only use Linux operating systems (they’re also good friends which likely increases my FOMO). So our surface is relatively mixed.
My current strategy is to just get focused. Today my plan is to work on my Windows machine and not think about the operating system at all. Staying plugged into this vibrant comment chain on this post has been immensely helpful in grounding me.
Thanks for chiming in on this. Your perspective actually feels the most accurate to what could be going on. A lot of this switching behavior comes out of times where work is slower than usual. When I’m actively engaged throughout the day this sort of thing doesn’t cross my mind. I’ll be taking your request seriously about researching ADHD.
Thanks! Yea, I’ll go ahead and look around for something like that.
Thanks for that perspective. I definitely feel like operating systems are a fixation for me. I love understanding their nuances and making them do things that aren’t typical. This is the crux because an operating system in a work environment is where I need the most stability.
How does one even go about exploring an official ADHD diagnoses? Is that something done through a therapist? Another commenter suggested seeing one and I’m taking that thought seriously.
Checkmate, consumer.
