  • Ahh man, I’d almost missed my appointment with the psych’ recently. At least my new one is local and easy to schedule with, get along well and are happy to trial Dexies’ (been on Ritalin for ~1yr)

    Previously I could only find someone to prescribe me remotely, I’d spent ~10 months waiting for an appointment for the Psych’ to quit that clinic. Waited another 6 months and landed a script.

    For me it’s been a significant improvement to my life, just took me until I was almost 40 to get diagnosed.







  • NM has been a marketing gimmick since Intel launched their long-standing 14nm node. Actual transistor density depending on which fab you compare to is shambles.

    It’s now a title / name of a process and not representative of how small the transistors are.

    I’ve not paid for a CPU upgrade since 2020, and before that I was using a 22nm CPU from 2014. The market isn’t exciting (to me anymore), I don’t even want to talk about the GPUs.

    Back in the late 90s or early 2000s upgrades felt substantial and exciting, now it’s all same-same with some minor power efficiency gains.












  • Really depends on what you want out of the system, what you can spend and how much time you want to spend on it.

    My old z390 itx system has a 16x PCIE to 4x m.2 card - leveraging an m.2 to 5x SATA adaptor with the built in SATA adaptors has given it plenty of space.

    Considering I can grab m.2 to 6 SATA adaptors and fill the remainder of the slots that’s a decent chunk of drives from a single PCIE x16 slot.

    Software is another kettle of fish and a good way to timesink, I’d rather not give too much of my personal experience as there are so many ways to skin that cat.
