  • Is there something like an easy migration script, which would take packages and settings from my current install?

    Ok, settings are mostly in my home anyway
    Packages I can generate a list, and the manuals throw out the Manjaro stuff

    Hmm…I’m having a laptop and a workstation running Manjaro and I really would like to make the switch, but can’t tolerate much downtime, because both are machines for my work

    So I’m looking for something to quickly setup everything as I had, without the need to remember everything and do it manually…


  • Are you sure about the IQ?

    You’re writing very well structured and without errors - at least none that really stick out of or I’ve seen

    Sure you’re not just putting yourself down too much?

    And anyway, everyone has the tools we’ve got.
    Make the best of it. That’s all one can do anyway.

    Do what interests you. Do what brings you joy - and do something that brings some income that you can live off.

    Don’t overthink the IQ part. Many high intelligence people are having major issues in their life. IQ isn’t everything and really working for what you want, can cancel out many handicaps

    And I still don’t believe, that you have such a low IQ.
    IQ tests often overvalue performance in time.
    If you’re insecure already, you’ll have second thoughts about your answers, lose time and get a lower score.

    Edit: and to add to that, a good friend of mine always had A’s in every class in highschool, but scored really bad in IQ tests, because he wanted to do them perfect. While I just went through them as fast as possible. He was like 86 points. But he went on to study theoretical physics.












  • I was growing up with my grandparents, who still had a few pigs, chickens and I always had cats. I was always outside and in the forest, but I’m still allergic to pollen of grass, flowers and trees, also surprisingly to cats and dogs - and, which is more shit - to bees, wasps etc…

    Although from young on I just ignored the allergy regarding cats and dogs. Now I’m still having a cat (a rescue, who lives in my apartment) and besides some heavier reaction to scratches, I don’t have any problem with cuddles and sleeping in bed with him.

    I think my overly concerned mother (young single mother) just went to the doctor with every little thing I had, and all the antibiotics I’ve got, have fucked up my immune system.

    With the pollen thing I’ve got syringes as a child, so at least I got rid of the allergic asthma. And the older I get, the better it seems to get.

    But with cats and dogs, I was just stubborn and it seems it worked out ;⁠-⁠)

    Still, I was always outside playing in the dirt and still got a shitload of allergies…


  • Maybe instead of 1-dimensional number scales, we should move to something like 4 quadrants, where different movie qualities are represented?

    Because rating a movie isn’t just like shit - meh - ok - great, but should be much more detailed.
    This could represent something like how well it was done in different scales in one view, and I can choose what matches my mood.
    Really good rated movies are sometimes also hard to follow/process, and a movie with a light mood won’t get those good ratings, but would still be exactly the thing I’m currently looking for.

    So, I haven’t really thought this through, but if we create a more dimensional rating system, it would be maybe easier to find, what I’m really looking for.

    This is more or less a shower thought, but I really think, that the problem lies in the one dimensional rating system, which cannot represent the multitude of experiences I want from a movie


  • Hm… Strange I was very much of the opinion that I had the option, when I bought the laptop, but (at least on mobile) I can’t see it now.
    Because I remember, that I was so happy to be able to choose CoreBoot

    But checking my BIOS, it’s from insyde
    And I’ve no idea what exactly those guys are and what they build up on - or if it’s a completely other UEFI BIOS

    That’s a bit of a bummer now, actually

    Edit: or maybe I’m mixing it up with the StarLabs StarFighter order, I had to cancel.
    That would make at least sense, and my memory is just scrambled, but not completely creating fictional stuff ;⁠-⁠)
