Thanks for the unappreciated ELI2
In the 90s during the first “mild hype”, I had Suse for quite a while, twice. Same problem with unavailable software though, I remember PGP Disc not being available back then. I remember the cool kids talking about Red Hat and Debian, you must have been one of them.
Probably going back now, since my 2011 hardware won’t work with Windows 11.
Pretty good for your money is the Corsi-Rosenthal Box mentioned already. As for things that don’t require assembly, Trotec beats all prices in Germany, e. g. the 250E or 350E: https://de.trotec.com/shop/design-luftreiniger-airgoclean-250-e.html That would provide more than you need for typical home use already. For a single room such as your bedroom, you can get something really decent for less than $250.
The ones that are below HEPA standard are not as bad as somebody mentioned, imo. Against many things, such as dust or allergens, they should be fine. I’m buying only HEPA filters myself, though; doesn’t really save much otherwise.
Get your hands on Metformin or paxlovid
I came to a very similar conclusion recently: https://lemmy.world/comment/11880279
Let’s hope that Brazil creates a mass-movement that makes it easier to follow. Aren’t they even like the world majority in Portuguese?
I remember the “big movement” when Twitter turned into a right wing cesspool.
At first, the biggest problem was that there were TWO main alternatives: Mastodon and Bluesky. So those who left split into two groups, ending up with a dead timeline, missing out on news. (I and my “bubble” use it to keep up with Covid vaccines, politics, safety etc.)
I joined the Mastodon group, because it solves the problem of a single crazy billionaire potentially buying & enshittifying it. But I fully admit that it is not user friendly at all. People who are not in IT just want it to WORK, like Twitter used to. They don’t want to “educate themselves” about servers, fediverse and networks. The user experience clearly hasn’t even been a thing. It’s techies writing software for themselves. What it needs is a full analysis of the experience from the start: Who are you, user, why are you considering Mastodon, what are your expectations, what are the experiences in the first 30 seconds after entering “mastadon” (oh, you misspelled it?) or “twitter alternative” into a search engine, etc. “pick an instance” is already the passive-aggressive demand nobody wants to hear.
In the end, my instance was shut down without a fair warning, all the reconnected and new contacts lost, no option to move. Trying Bluesky now, but many stayed at Twitter (now X), moved to Mastodon with or without success (most onto my dead instance), or gave up on microblogging.
I think we need something simple again. I remember what SUSE did for Linux in the 90s. Linux users were all like: Only debian is even somewhat useable, but if you should really do LFS. Non-techies willing to switch for “political” or other reasons were hit in the face with “Pick a distro!!!”. SUSE has been called “the Windows among the Linux distros” by those people, but it did the right thing. It provided exactly the simplification we needed: “This is Linux, you simply buy it on CD in a retail store like your other software, you run the installer.” It was a good thing.
IRC is the one good old thing that still works great. When they tried to enshittify freenode, we just moved, collectively. Many non-IT channels & servers died after 2010, though.
Just my last two orders:
I will stay there for now though, because it’s still a great software, easy to use
Everything here points to a hardware problem, yet I had a similar issue that also was “fixed” by keeping a game running in background, and it turned to be out 100 % software. (Not fixed by putting the SSD into an entirely different system, but fixed by complete reinstall.)
Also found this in my bookmarks, but it didn’t help back then, and OP never got it solved either: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/pc-freezes-when-not-playing-games.3731029/
My freeze did not have your odd reset problems. Its own oddity was that often it was a semi-zombie-freeze, in that I could sometimes even type text into an open editor and open menus, but nothing ever happened, saved or executed.
By the way, I also made a program that keeps one CPU core only busy at 100 % in a lowest priority thread. IIRC, it worked.
public class Busy { public static void main(String... args) { int i = 0; Thread.currentThread().setPriority(Thread.MIN_PRIORITY); while (true) { i = (i << 3) ^ i; } } }
(With a JDK installed: javac Busy.java && java Busy)
I used to have a very similar problem also with freezers that do not occur when a game is running even in the background. I also followed dead ends such as CPU state issues and so on.
The biggest breakthrough came after several years when I took the entire SSD out of the laptop and put it into a desktop PC with entirely different hardware and booted the same Windows there. The problem still occurred!
A complete Windows reinstall fixed it for good.
Well pet me like one of your dogs

Das war eigentlich eine relativ einfache Zeit; Anträge wie die von OP sind meist direkt, selten mit einer freundlichen Nachfrage durchgegangen. Wahrscheinlich waren “red flags” in der Begründung, von denen es leider dutzende gab, z. B. früheres Interesse an Zeitsoldat, auf das nicht eingegangen wurde. Bei einigen ist auch der Haken in “Bereitschaft zu Auslandseinsätzen” irgendwie in das Formular bei der Musterung geraten, z. B. indirekt durch “wenn es unbedingt sein müsste, dann Marine” oder ähnliche Bemerkungen. Das war alles kein Problem, solange es erklärt wird und nicht widersprüchlich begründet wird, dass man schon Jahre vor der Musterung total dagegen war. Mit Rechtsmitteln wäre es nach erster Ablehnung sicher durchgegangen.
Es war deutlich schwerer, wenn die Einberufung zum Wehrdienst schon da war; dann immer nur mit Vorladung zur mündlichen Verhandlung, was aber auch mit guter Beratung geklappt hat.
Ich kenne aber auch Leute, die sich geweigert haben, die Begründung an die Rechtslage anzupassen und unbedingt ehrlich bleiben wollten. Verständlich, aber bei bestimmten Gründen dann garantierte Ablehnung. Auch in der einfachen Zeit musste erkennbar sein, dass aus Gewissensgründen bewaffnete Auseinandersetzungen zwischen Staaten immer und grundsätzlich abgelehnt werden, wie bei OP.
Siehe auch meine Antwort auf OP.
Juristisch nicht perfekt wasserdicht, aber ist ziemlich sicher ohne Nachfragen durchgegangen, oder?
Gut gemacht!
Imagine someone was stopping a police car with a gun and robbed them. Would he get just two years? And he would not abuse any given power or authority.
Me too; it’s BECAUSE I’m so old that I appreciate a general rooting what this is all about.
