  • Yes. Every single time. Even if it is just walking around the block at a swift pace a few times a week (light to medium exercise). Usually the depression reduces after the 3rd or 4th time, sometimes sooner: fewer negative thoughts, less anhedonia, more motivation, less negative attitude, etc. If I keep at it, usually I actually can find myself in a good mood. Why the hell do I stop exercising then? I’ll have to get back to you on that.




  • That’s what I’ve started doing. Blu-ray and DVD are pretty cheap (for now) at the local thrift stores and eBay. Totally worth it for our favorite movies.

    It would be technically illegal for me to burn those movies and put them up on a dedicated Jellyfin server running Linux on a 4th gen MicroFF PC where we could stream them from the local lan, kinda like rolling your own totally offline Netflix with slick UI and cross platform support (Mac, android, Linux, windows). It would be cool and I’m sure it would work brilliantly, not that I would know.

    I’m not sure of the legality of putting all my CDs on there as well along with copies of e-reader compatible books.

    I haven’t left the dock and hoisted the Jolly Roger but I totally understand why one would. Last time I sailed I was not an adult and couldn’t afford all those great C64 games. With the bullshit streaming companies are pulling they deserve what they get.




  • Load average of 400???

    You could install systat (or similar) and use output from sar to watch for thresholds and reboot if exceeded.

    The upside of doing this is you may also be able to narrow down what is going on, exactly, when this happens, since sar records stats for CPU, memory, disk etc. So you can go back after the fact and you might be able to see if it is just a CPU thing or more than that. (Unless the problem happens instantly rather than gradually increasing).

    PS: rather than using cron, you could run a script as a daemon that runs sar at 1 sec intervals.

    Another thought is some kind of external watchdog. Curl webpage on server, if delay too long power cycle with smart home outlet? Idk. Just throwing crazy ideas out there.
