Trash app. If you actually want to see all of your data and have it recorded accurately, just switch to the Garmin ecosystem. Garmin isn’t without their own set of issues and problems, for sure. However, if you actually want data and not AI slop summaries, stay a far away from Google Health.

Simply put, it’s designed for people who think that wearing a fitness tracker will improve their health and want a chat bot that will make them feel better about that.

I did. All the important things have time to gracefully shutdown now. (Except my for my rack of 4 DL360’s, which need something a little more robust than a Walmart UPS. They aren’t critical and only exist to handle weird one-off projects anyway.)

This happens, too. A burst of local brownouts killed an OPNsense firewall of mine once. (The hardware was fine. The data got wrecked.) The firewall would boot, or almost finish booting, and then another brownout would hit. After the third or fourth cycle, the poor thing was toast.

I should thank the power company for free resilience testing.

Memes, mostly. Lots of memes.

Things looked bleak for Joe, but they were even worse for mankind.

As Joe and Rita lay dormant, the years passed… and mankind became stupider at a frightening rate.

Some had high hopes that genetic engineering… would correct this trend in evolution.

But sadly, the greatest minds and resources… were focused on conquering hair loss and prolonging erections.

So a Lemmy shitpost is just a reddit cross-post? The actual OP didn’t give any context to the images. Even if this isn’t a bot post, it might as well be one.

Not yet.

I think there is a much higher probability of oil prices being manipulated in the short-term.

You should be ok, even if you touch 750W every now and then. Corsair PSUs are generally decent and can likely hold over 750W for short periods. What you are sacrificing is PSU efficiency, but if it’s temporary, whatevers. Don’t overclock the CPU and under volt the GPU and don’t run heavy and continuous compute loads for long periods of time.

While the power management is likely a hair different with my flavor of 7900XTX, it has always behaved well under heavy load and benchmarking and it rarely spikes to max power unless all the OC knobs are pushed to max.

Unfortunately, I can’t speak to how the 7900XTX is managed under Linux. If I am not mistaken, unless you are purposely overriding power profiles, you should be fine with whatever the stock settings are on the card itself. (7900XTX’s do come in non-OC and OC variants or have a switch for a dual bios for either configuration. Manufacturer OC settings can still be quite timid, IMHO.)

Depending on your specific components, the system may crash before it hits a power limit in some cases. If the PSU can’t handle the power draw requirements, the power rails might sag a little during a burst and crash the system. I have only seen this a couple of times, but it’s still worth mentioning.

Ignoring all of the above, just run some tests under different power loads, and in this case, aim for the lowest power settings you can, just to be on the safe side. While not perfect, invest $20 in a kill-a-watt power draw monitor for system testing. At a minimum, you will get a rough idea of total system power draw, which is good enough here. (I have seen ~+/-5% skew between different kill-a-watts, which isn’t an issue unless you are seriously working against a strict draw limit.)

Peak shitpost. Well played.

August Landmesser (German: [ˈaʊ̯ɡʊst ˈlantˌmɛsɐ]; 24 May 1910 – 17 October 1944) was a German man who is suggested to be the man appearing in a 1936 photograph conspicuously refusing to perform the Nazi salute.[2][3] Landmesser had run afoul of the Nazi Party over his unlawful relationship with Irma Eckler, a Jewish woman. For this, he was imprisoned and eventually drafted into penal military service, where he was killed in action.[4]

(Not to be confused with monkey hangers/ape hangers/monkey bars, which are also terms for excessively tall handle bars on motorcycles.)

Who the fuck calls french monkeys? Frogs maybe, but not a monkey. It’s slightly derogatory in some cases, but not the way I think of it, and for a very good reason. (I still probably wouldn’t go out of my way to call a French person a frog.)

I learned the French being referenced as frogs from Art Spiegelman’s Maus when I was a kid and it was in a positive context. The way he used animals in his books was brilliant. While the trend obviously started from cats and mice (Nazis and Jews), the use of other animals was super interesting. It kinda flipped the meaning of the terms in a very somber way.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, or even put words to it, but expressing the slang as actual characters is something to take very seriously in its underlying meaning. Regardless, Spiegelman didn’t pull any punches when it came to showing how nasty people could actually be.

May 19, 2026 3:00 PM _Meta Employees Are Scrambling to Use Up Benefits Ahead of Ahead of Meta’s latest round of mass layoffs tomorrow, some employees are deserting offices, abandoning their work, and loading up on perks they might soon lose, several people at the company tell WIRED.

Two employees describe a widespread rush to use up an annual $2,000 flexible benefit, which can cover a variety of expenses including health and wellness activities. A separate triennial credit of $200 toward the purchase of audio gear has led to a scramble to purchase Apple AirPods and other headphones. Another source says Meta offices have been largely empty this week, as people prioritize polishing their résumés and gather offsite to commiserate with friends for what may be their final time as colleagues. Employees are variously “paralyzed,” “coasting,” and “panicked,” sources say.

Meta plans to lay off about 10 percent of its nearly 80,000 employees on Wednesday, with notices going out to affected workers’ personal and corporate email addresses at 4 am Singapore, London, or San Francisco time depending on their location, according to a company-wide memo sent on Monday. The cuts are coming at a time when the social media giant behind Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook is enjoying record-high profits.

But CEO Mark Zuckerberg insists that the company must free up cash to invest in AI data centers, and that Meta can perform just as well with fewer employees because of AI technologies that augment human labor.

Are you a current or former Meta employee who wants to talk about what’s happening? We’d like to hear from you. Using a nonwork phone or computer, contact the reporter securely on Signal at peard33.24 and ChaoticGoode.12. Meta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment for this story. The company has undergone three previous large rounds of layoffs since 2022, including as part of Meta’s one-time “year of efficiency” drive in 2023. But even though the latest round is smaller than a couple of those, it is drawing widespread scrutiny because it comes at a time of societal anxiety about AI’s impact on jobs.

Inside Meta, the imminent cuts are among several concerns that have sunk morale to unprecedented depths, according to 16 current and former employees who recently spoke to WIRED. Employees also have been frustrated by being “drafted” onto a new AI team without any choice and the rollout of surveillance software that tracks US workers’ laptop use to train AI models.

Meta also plans to internally restructure as it conducts sweeping layoffs, transferring 7,000 remaining staff to “AI initiatives” and converting more managers into individual contributors. That would bring the total number of those affected—either laid off or placed in a new role—to 20 percent of the current workforce, Reuters reported on Monday. WIRED independently confirmed this reporting. Some parts of the company have been told they won’t be affected at all.

But in recent days, employees who are bracing for changes have shared checklists internally about benefits to take advantage of, and are saving documents such as performance reviews and pay stubs, according to one worker. Some teams are meeting up at bars and restaurants near Meta offices in New York and Menlo Park on Tuesday and Wednesday to eat and drink away their sorrows, several employees said. Management has encouraged employees not to come into offices on Wednesday.

Update, May 19, 11:40 PM EDT: WIRED corrected the time zones when layoff notices will be emailed. _

A minor one and a component of Vitamin B12.

Have a normal, balanced diet if you aren’t extremely active. So yeah, just eat a banana. :)

I run a lot and a sweat a lot, so my electrolyte loss is fairly high. (You can see the buildup of salts on my gear after it dries and before I wash it.) Electrolyte supplements are great for athletes that can’t practically make up the losses with regular food intake.

But… To say that Gatorade and other electrolyte drinks are overused by people who aren’t active is an understatement. Many people simply do not need the extra boost of sugar and salts and it’s just going to get pissed out anyway.

The reason I am a bit vocal about this is that 1. People should actually eat a decent diet just to get these basic salts and 2. Electrolyte supplements are awesome, extremely basic but extremely overused. They are extremely important, but not in the way marketing departments say they are.

Sodium chloride is not the only electrolyte the body needs. It’s fairly important to keep a healthy balance: https://medlineplus.gov/fluidandelectrolytebalance.html

Horses, generally, really like apples.

Electrolytes are electrolytes. Your horse gets a fuck ton more salt and no sugar, but it’s basically all the same shit at similar ratios. The electrolyte compounds all need to be bioavailable so there shouldn’t be major differences there. The biggest difference is likely purity and contamination tolerances. (Contamination would be things like insects, small rocks or sand, etc: Things that would still be non-toxic, but generally reduced for human consumption.)

Edit: Still don’t drink the stuff. The ingredients are scaled for an ~1100lb animal so it should be a no-brainer to get the Gatorade instead.

The turret on those things will fall straight up, too. The engineering on T-72’s is absolutely astounding, but why they put the anti-grav plates on the turret is beyond me.
