They are speaking for themselves.

The UK is known for rain, so it's unexpected to see the UK missing rain.

Like, you objected to.. ^ that. Confusing.

Off-topic starts here. There is no need to be hostile at a benign comment as there are plenty of dumb people who have earned that hostility.

How you reply to other comments will let me know which you are, given this comment it's not looking great.. but I have hope it's a one-off ill moment.

Re-reading your comment, I think you may be letting your anxiety get to you. Calm down, take deep breaths, then close your eyes. Breath and count the passing breaths, focusing on the rising and falling of the body. If a thought comes, let it pass, focus back on the breath.

Your anxiety may be justified, but I believe that your aim is off, don't let it shoot random bystanders on your side. Better yet, become aware of it through meditation and mindfulness. Wish you well.

    Lots of folks are bad writers, even the ones who use writing as their primary medium.

    Small rant, I work in a technical field and the amount of technical people who do not realize how much more effective they'd be if they treated their communication as seriously as they treated 'network communication protocols' is far too high.

    It is quite disheartening. Then again, it took me until my late 20s to understand this.. there is hope for everyone. I hope.. 🤣

    qbittorrent cli project (programming.dev)

    I've been working on a small project to remote control (via ssh mostly) my qbittorrent client. It's going well and I've already taken care of the basic functions I set out to create.

    pause all
    resume all
    set default parameters to all torrents
    sort priority to mirror dl_limit
    shutdown client

    Obviously I'll add more.

    Thought I'd stop by and ask if anyone knows of a similar project. I'd be open to sharing the code but for now just the question.

    I Reached Plat 2 :) (programming.dev)
     

    In 2s and 3s, 1s I'm still gold 3 for unknown reasons. Guess I'm just not consistent enough yet. Sometimes I drop as low as silver 2 in 1s which I don't understand at all.. but I'm done being upset. It's such a fun game.

    Nothing else really. I'm just very proud of my ability to adapt and improve beyond gold. Back when I initially bought the game in 2016, I used to rage at every loss and I'm sure my blood pressure was thru the roof. I'd forcibly uninstall the game at the end of every play session.. yeah, super unhealthy.

    So I quit for a few years, came back in 2023 having been regularly meditating, and talking openly to those friends who would listen about my struggles, and I'd listen to theirs. I talked out so many rage issues and found that my anxiety and potential autism would cause me to release directionless rage at innocent bystanders.

    I brought that to an end. I'm not sure how good I actually am, I still regularly dominate matches at plat 2 so who knows, the sky is the limit!

    Final note, 1v1 is the only game mode where my rank drops massively. But I don't mind, they're slowly teaching me techniques as I get owned and I try to copy them. Thanks smurfs :)

    I have a healthy relationship to my emotional state now, and this allows me to enjoy and improve in RL in a way I never thought possible.

    I realize this post may be silly, but it makes me happy to share.

    I love RL!!

    Share Your Stories of Accidents and Annoyances.. (programming.dev)
     

    So I was thinking of silly things I've done that pseudo-broke my system, or made me think I had a broken system. Like the time I put the cmd :

    exit

    in my ~/.bash_aliases file and I had to open a text editor to fix it because that broke all the terminals on my machine.

    I'm curious what other silly things users have done to confuse themselves.

    Automate Backup of Factorio Saves (programming.dev)
     

    I found this Python script a few years ago, it is simple enough that a non-programmer could understand 90% of it. I just remembered it had been running as a scheduled task all this time when I thought I had lost some saves.

    Thought I'd post it here in case anyone can use it. Minor things are hard coded but they are few and easy to edit.
