  • I play computer games at night - before I was on Mounjaro (okay, not Ozempic, but I guess it still counts) I would have loved a beer or two with that almost every night. Had one once or twice a week.

    Now… no more desire at all. Sometimes, when out in a restaurant I still enjoy a pint - and I also sometimes ejoy getting a bit drunk. Way less often than before.

    I feel liberated. I feel I make the choices now - before I was constantly fighting the cravings.



  • The pricing is absurd. In Denmark it’s like $80 for four weeks. in USA it starts at $1000. But medicine in USA is a whole other can of worms.

    In Germany it starts at $300 (2.5mg/week) and goes up to $540 (15mg/week). But then if you get a 15mg/week prescription and happen to only need 5mg/week (possibly supported by taking it more often than once a week), and also make use of the 1.3 (my guesstimate) extra doses that are in the syringe (but a bit difficult to extract) you pay like $120/month. This is what a proper gym costs in my area. And honestly, you safe on food, too. And on your weight watchers subscription!



  • I believe it was slackware. it was gifted to teenage me ca 1994, was on the CD of some magazine.

    I wanted to try it, so went dual boot. it (or I?) partitioned my 800MB hard disk into a 300MB and an 800MB partition. stupid young me thought this was great and I just gained 300MB. when I noticed date corruption, stupid young me started to copy over important data to the assumed good partition. things didn’t end well.

    I took a two year break from Linux afterwards 🤣








  • I’m mainly on Linux for over 20 years (still have one Windows Box for VR and some games, hopefully I can migrate this to Linux with the next hardware iteration). I was on Suse, Debian, Mandrake, Gentoo, Ubuntu, QubesOS (which does not self-identify as Linux-distribution) with Fedora+Debian Qubes. I never had those installed on my main machine, but also worked a lot with kali, grml, knoppix, dsl, centos, Redhat and certainly a bunch of others.

    The absolute best for me, as working in it security and with different customers, is QubesOS. Sadly my current laptop is so badly supported by QubesOS that it burns 6h battery in 25 minutes and sleep/suspent does not work at all, so I’m currently on Ubuntu (which I hate for their move to snap and being Ubuntu in general)
