It’s important to actually give them attention when they want it, and make sure they are adequately played with so they can power themselves out; Feliway diffusors can help smooth over tensions if the fights get out of hand, and make sure you have at least 3 cat toilets (1 per cat +1 is the rule) and enough spaces where they can retreat to (ideally somewhere farther up so they can see their surroundings)

If they aren’t fixed yet, get it done; they tend to become more amicable afterwards (can take a few weeks).

If the aggression gets out of hand, there are hormone-chips that are normally used to temporarily (6 months) sterilize cats, which also make them more chill. We have one cat that was massively jealous, attacking the others out of the blue, where we had to take this measure. It stabilized the social order and now he doesn’t need them anymore.

At the end of the day, you can’t stop it completely, only lower the intensity. Cats use those conflicts to define the social order. As long as they don’t hurt each other for real (a bit of fur doesn’t count) it’s pretty normal.

ooooh that’s nice! i love this threads, my shell gets soo much nicer! thank you all, you are great!

My Nobara installation has those commands mapped to pageup/down by default, so it’s probably a default in other distros too if anyone wants to try it out without editing first

Thanks for that, thats much more comfortable!

I’m surprised that stuff stays on the wall - my cats would have ripped half of it down already while trying to bury their business.

One of my cats once escaped out of a window at ground level (he managed to dismantle the netting while i slept, it’s the only time any cat of mine managed to do something like this), and the big explorer promptly got scared and hid in the insides of a car parked directly outside. He didn’t get hurt (except his ego), but was full of oil and dust from the breakpads. That’s the only time i thoroughly bathed him (and paid the blood price). You are right of course that bathing isn’t something you should do just because, but if the cat is actually full of very unhealthy stuff, i want to prevent him eating all of that while he grooms himself.

I’ve seen discussion of this occurring in other communities too (can’t remember which tho, sorry), and stumbled upon a few of those posts too where post and user were gone (i’ve always got a tab with piefed open, and don’t always refresh the page when it’s been not too long, so i still see the post as active when in reality it’s been deleted already), so i can attest to this happening.

eta: the content seems to be divisive, and it’s definitely every day, but i can’t make a good estimate of the amount of this type of post happening

I don’t think the first shot was aimed at the head, but at the upper body area, while multiple people were wrestling him down. There was no need for usage of lethal force in any of this.

And i’ll just add that with jackett integration into qbittorrent discovering torrents is very comfortable.

This is a board of corruption and has nothing to do with peace.

Depends on the type of snail, there are male, female, hermaphroditic and parthenogenetic types. Since they wrote “his reproductive organs”, Jeremy is probably a hermaphroditic snail.

Be meticulous with the cat toilet, and since he has issues with respiratory infections, make sure the cat litter does not create too much dust. Other than that, keep weighting the cat on the regular, since weight loss is an early indicator for issues. A yearly blood count, serum biochemical analysis, and urine analysis can catch issues early.

Thanks for taking a FIV+ cat in! My mother’s two cats were FIV+ (she was helping out a shelter with harboring FIV+ cats, and those two stayed in the end), and they lived for years without major issues with regular screening and early prevention if issues popped up.

Not even a real hard drive, but an eMMC with a horrendous I/O speed, plus that low performance CPU paired with 4 GB Ram and the windows 11… I’m sure that thing needs 30 minutes get to the desktop - if you keep your autostart clean

In earliest year started it’s gonna be minecraft, got it in beta and set up a new Stoneblock 4 instance up 2 days ago. In total hours pLayed its tied between Grim Dawn and Dead Cells.

I can also see a lot of use in general for gaming! There might be a future where game assets are generated on the fly, dialogue and storylines are without artificial limits, no invisible borders in game worlds. The technology is useful, but not in the way those fools want to force it.

You can’t even exfiltrate data reliably from a LLM - storage can be deleted, RAM is volatile anyways. No need for destruction at all, the compute itself is useful. There are so many science projects that currently don’t have the funding to get access to exactly the hardware that’s in use there.

That’s mainly Grok, since Elon did never even bother getting approval for the shitton of Gas Turbines he placed which wreak havoc on the air quality in Memphis. I think xAI is the only Datacenter running on 100% fossil fuels, without permission from any municipality…

I have to agree, even if i have no issue with GenAI itself. No one needs that many datacenters as they are planning. Adoption will crash as soon as they try monetizing it for real. Even if they try using cloud gaming as a load in those centers - not one person i know would trade their local PC for something that’s dependent on a fast internet connection without data caps and introduces permanent 100ms+ delay on all games.

I swapped my 3070Ti 8GB to a 5070 16GB, if i sell off the 3070TI the upgrade cost me 300€ (but i tend to keep it as a backup), and I can run my local GenAI and LLM without issues now, I don’t need datacenters, i need CDNs so i can get my content i run locally. and TBH if they really try to kill local compute in gaming: i have enough games here to last me for a decade or more without getting bored, and i can play all of that while sitting in a mountain cabin.

We suffer together! At least my semicolon is still safe.
