RobotZap10000 , to KDE in Disable Discover launch on start

I had the same issue, I went to Session settings and disabled session saving. I can't remember the exact names of them but I think that you'll find it.

theunknownmuncher OP ,

That did it! Thank you!

My solution:
Desktop Session - System Settings > Session Restore > Start with an empty session

I could probably alternately add the Discover app to the Ignored applications list, but I prefer a fresh session on start.

RobotZap10000 ,

Glad I could help! I only found out how to solve it today. Funny that I could use the knowledge immediately too.

I worked shifts as an operator in a chemical plant. Took the opportunity to work days about 15 years ago (was about 35 years old then), never had a problem with it. I didn't make any less money because of it, because the 9-5 job was a somewhat promotion. Pro's were for me being all weekends off, like all the people I know. cons were less off time between. Biggest pro; get to be around my kids at more regular times. But it really depends on the jobs.

A daily exercise routine is my key to controlling my own circadian rhythm and working a 9-5.

Bruh how many different accounts do you have?

You want the ability to remote power cycle everything and to get a quick status. Get a single board computer and use it as a jumping off point. From there you can go get some smart plugs that can be connected to the single board computer.

DmMacniel , to KDE in Elisa playlist alphabetical order
@DmMacniel@feddit.org avatar

The Sort drop down doesn't have any alphabetical order option?

Caua OP ,
@Caua@lemmy.ml avatar

No, only most frequently Played frist and least requently played.

sirleonelle ,

It's a "recently played" playlist, sorting it alphabetically kinda defeats the "recently played"'s purpose. Other playlists should have alphabetical option available.

Caua OP ,
@Caua@lemmy.ml avatar

But even in the normal playlist there is no such option

sirleonelle ,

I see, I've got confused since what you're showing is not a playlist view but a library view.
If you do mean sorting your playlist by X, then I'm afraid this cannot be done at all, the playtlist view has no sorting options at all.
If you mean sorting you library view (i.e. in a "recently played" view), some views (for example, "all songs") have this option.

Kethal , to Home Improvement in Should I insulate my garage attic?

I have an attic that gets direct sun until the afternoon. It gets quite hot. I had easy access to the rafters so I used radiant barrier, and the difference is very big. As you're putting it up you can tell that it's blocking the heat standing in an a covered vs uncovered area. In subsequent days when it was all up it was obviously cooler. It's still hot but not unbearable.

Radiant barrier is more expensive and fiberglass probably would have worked just as well in this situation, but I didn't know enough about air flow in that space to tell whether fiberglass would impede anything,so I used radiant barrier and left a gap at the bottoms and tops. It is very easy to install. Fiberglass wouldn't be too hard either, but the barrier is daed simple and there's less volume to move around.

In general, my experience say it's going to help, and whether you do fiberglass or radiant barrier is up to you.

Are the gaps between the bricks there for a reason? I would have thought the support for the arch would have come from them touching more then just the mortar.

morgunkorn OP ,
@morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Oh yeah good question! That's not staying like that. According to the building theory books I read a jointing in an arch can be anywhere between 5mm and 10mm of mortar inside (1/4' to 1/2') and up to 25mm outside (1 inch)

The empty space will be filled completely with mortar next week. It was a huge mess when laying the bricks vertically against the wooden formwork, we noticed how ugly it looked when moving it off after laying the two first slices.

The plan is to use some kind of piping bag and inject the mortar precisely in the gap, then smooth it uniformly. There are different shapes, we haven't decided yet which one we will use:

We ordered this device to inject the mortar:

and some powdered iron oxide to give a darker tone to the mortar, we like it better with the color of the bricks. When all this arrives, we can continue

Stunning.

Hope the mystery signed brick will go in along with your own plaque to future humans.

Most definitely!

Using the UniFi WiFiman app on a gigabit fiber connection from my phone to a U6 Long-Range access point (802.11ax, 40 MHz, crowded suburban area, channel scanning each night with auto-select enabled), I’m getting 321 Mbps down and 402 Mbps up.

For anything for which I care about getting the most speed within my network, I use Ethernet.

Cobrachicken ,

Would you share why you only scan at night? I think currently I have autoscan enabled to switch channels every hour, day and night.

Zachariah ,
@Zachariah@lemmy.world avatar

Every night is still probably overkill. My neighbors’ APs rarely/never change channels.

Vinny_93 , to homelab in Optimizing a WiFi Network

In a very cluttered neighborhood and I get about 300Mbps up and down on 6E 5GHz. My fibre connection allows 1Gb. I only reach those speeds wired.

AlternateRoute , to homelab in Optimizing a WiFi Network

I get 550Mbps on 5 ghz (80Mhz wide) with my iPhone 13 and I get 800-850Mbps on an iPad pro on 6Ghz (160Mhz wide). When in the same room as the AP. When not in the same room speeds are a bit all over the map.

This is via the speedtest.net app on a 1Gbit fibre connection.

I am using new U7 Pro Wall APs.

@667@lemmy.radio avatar

I worked rotating shifts for a few years, and currently work really odd shifts for ~3 months at a time.

After the rotating shifts, and in between the odd shifts I work now, I transitioned back to a regular day cycle pretty quickly; usually within a few days.

If you can take some PTO before starting your new role, consider going to sleep shortly after sunset, and leaving the shades up so you can wake with the sun for a few days. Try not to use bright house lights in the evening, and try to not to use an alarm clock to wake up, just use the sunlight.

Doing this gives your circadian rhythm a hard reboot which makes it much easier to transition back to a more socially common day life.

If you can cool the garage, insulating the ceiling will help. Even if you run a fan to pull in cool air at night and then try to hold it in, it'll help.

I hated shifts, I was constantly switching from days to nights, 9-5 is much better for me!
