In-game photography. It's something that doesn't seem covered on Lemmy yet. But Linux works too. Hope to see you posting that fastfetch with an Arch logo soon

Once heat is in your house, it's hard to get out. So, prevent it from coming in by keeping you doors, windows, curtains, and best of all shutters closed

cassiacow , in how's your week going, Beehaw

I finished my honours thesis and I've honestly been feeling kind of... bad about it? Bit weird. Work's been super hectic too!

BUT I also booked flights to Canada to see my sister, which is really exciting so things are looking good.

I'm a fan of my fan

Taking a shower, not too cold

kessleragain , in what’s your favorite way to beat the heat?

I switch my schedule so that all chores are done in the morning or night. If it’s really bad, I rinse off in the shower lowering the temp slowly until it feels too cold. Lots of water and crystal light. And I snack on cucumbers.

mine is actually something I learned about in therapy. wet a washcloth with cold water, then put ice cubes in it. there are various places you can put it to cool down (inner part of your elbow, neck, lower back, etc.) but the first one I was taught was actually the pulse point under your chin, because it also serves a purpose of calming you down. if you're angry or anxious, it might help, on top of cooling you off.

a second thing that I've done is, before bed, putting my comforter and/or my pillowcase in the freezer. only really works depending on size of the freezer and comforter, though.

krimsonbun , in What do you think should be the demonym for Beehaw users?

Lemmings. Beehaw is lemmy.

Gamers_mate , in what kind of discussion do you like to see?

I am also a fan of Linux so that is something I would like to talk about. Also non commercial gamedev I like the old days where people just experimented and made games for fun community gamejams to see what other people made regardless of skill level.

Go ahead!

Less experienced is fine. Questions is how chat and discussions start.

Beehaw has too little content. Be bold and post.


In both cases after inspiring Videos, I bought good cheap:

  • Mini MIDI piano thing with a Joystick for modulation
  • Knife sharpening utils

I’m recently dipping my toes into linux

welcome aboard :)
Linux communities sometimes tend to be a bit "elitists" but they always try to help so don't be afraid to ask even if you think it is a stupid question, 99% of people had the same problem in the past probably

as an additional question, somewhat related, but is there a new hobby you’ve recently gotten into?

Plants, i do not why but working with plants is very relaxing

ps. it's my first post on beehaw :)

welcome to beehaw!!

thank you for letting me know. reddit was my first exposure to linux communities and I did get that vibe. but people have been nice here (even when I was talking about my "baby's first self hosting" experiences) and I appreciate that the community is usually good about answering questions. as soon as my desktop is back and functioning, I'm going to be installing a dual boot with linux and windows 10.

what kind of plants are you working with? I have a couple of my own, and I've found the planting and gardening community here very friendly too. I currently have lavender (most recent addition), aloe and haworthia.

@EvilSarracenia@beehaw.org avatar

Thank you :)

I have some random succulents and cacti people gifted to us or born from cuttings (aloe and haworthia too) but my favorites are carnivorous plants, they are very strange and particular. Unfortunately here there isn't a real gardening community (especially about carnivorous plants) so I'm trying with online communities, mainly on facebook. Some years ago my parents had lavender and they used to dried it and put it in small paper bags in the wardrobe as perfume, it's very nice

Nemo , in what kind of discussion do you like to see?

I personally am interested in seeing more of wild theorycrafting.

DreamyRin OP ,
@DreamyRin@beehaw.org avatar

for video games, I assume? correct me if I'm wrong! if so, I really enjoy seeing people do off the wall stuff myself, even if I'm not terribly good at it anymore. I've been delving into Caves of Qud recently and seeing videos of people doing different builds is really cool.

Nemo ,

I like videogame lore theorycrafting like r/TESLore but real life theorycrafting is fun, too. You would see it sometimes on r/DankChristianMemes, r/Stoicism, and lots on r/etymology. r/C_S_T was devoted to it.

comicallycluttered , in how's your week going, Beehaw

I feel kind of bad.

I really don't like killing things, but ants have literally invaded my home, so I've had to do something.

Sprinkled some diatomaceous earth today. Watching a few stragglers just kind of meandering and basically not knowing what the fuck to do while they dehydrate and succumb to death has depressed me a little.

On a basic level, the way it works, it's just cruel. Yeah, they're not "sentient", they're mostly drones, etc., but still. Seeing this lonely ant kind of just... slowly dying and not knowing what to do is a bit heartbreaking.

i know how ya feel, but sometimes you gotta look out for you!

cassiacow ,

That's rough... I always find death (in all forms) really heartbreaking to witness too. You had to do it, but that doesn't always make it easier.

I've had ant infestations in my bedroom window. I understand completely how you feel, it is awful indeed.

along_the_road , in what kind of discussion do you like to see?

I think there's always interest in more technical posts on beehaw/lemmy

One thing personally I would like to see is more "Ask reddit" style posts. It was interesting to see what different people had to say.

DreamyRin OP ,
@DreamyRin@beehaw.org avatar

I had a lot of responses to one of my more recent posts asking about linux distros, which was really nice and interesting to see what people said. I'll keep that in mind for future posts, thank you for the reply!

what kind of discussion do you like to see?

Ones that are respectful and kind.

feeling a bit insecure about what would be interesting to post about here on beehaw.

I'm sorry that you feel that way. My unsolicited advice would be to engage with the subject matter that interests you the most.

DreamyRin OP ,
@DreamyRin@beehaw.org avatar

it's not honestly a beehaw issue, if that helps! I'm just a very anxious and insecure person in general, and I very rarely have engaged in online spaces. beehaw has been the first place I've felt safe enough to start trying to, after a series of bad discord servers.

y'all have a lovely place here, and I'm happy to be along for it!

Especially underprivileged and minority individuals. On the 22nd of this month you will be a one year old Beehaw user and we are happy that you are here.

DreamyRin OP ,
@DreamyRin@beehaw.org avatar

thank you so much!

I really appreciate the admins for making such a good space. and for you saying that, I really enjoy being here. I'll be making some new threads soon!
