Did you get a huge flood of emails at the start? That happened to me one time and it was because one of my old passwords got leaked. Buried within the flood of emails was a legit “your password has been changed” email for an account.

I assume your project wasn’t based on ChatGPT? It feels like a lot of the AI hate is directed at ChatGPT and its current hype wave.

+1 for sleeping without an alarm. If you really need an alarm to get up every day, you might not be getting enough sleep to begin with. Some of that is unavoidable (noises, light waking you up at night etc.) but a lot of people think they can get by with like 6 hours or less of sleep and just get by on extra coffee.

Taking a week or so to just let your body wake up when it wants (even if it means going to bed early, ugh) will help you figure out how much sleep you need.

I remember hearing somewhere (probably some podcast) that it used to be normal for people to sleep for 3-4 hours, then wake up and do stuff for an hour or so, then go back to sleep for 3-4 hours again. Maybe to help keep watch while you sleep or something similar?

It’s about 50/50 for me. Sometimes getting up and reading for an hour or so will let me fall back to sleep instantly, other times I’m just wide awake at 2AM and then magically get sleepy at 6:30 right before work.

Same here. At some point I’ll have to try it out with a game that I don’t mind losing progress on. It sounded like you have to manually specify one or more save directories to get sync to work which sounds pretty flimsy to me.

Gog has cloud saves too if you use gog galaxy.

Definitely just download heroic. Lutris can be weird - for the epic store on Linux it literally just runs the epic store exe in wine and installs/launches games through it instead of directly in the lutris client.

But it is Linux and so naturally one or the other store will not always work right so it helps to have both.

Do you use cloud sync with heroic? It sounded somewhat beta/experimental so I use heroic for other storefronts but still use the gog galaxy since it’s sync works great and is built in.

I’ve recently noticed the same thing with cloudflare and Google captchas while using a VPN. I just use Bing instead while on the VPN because I never get past the Google captchas, or at least I give up after 2 or 3.

It also seems like the resolution of the browser has some impact with cloudflare. If I open a browser window in the corner of the screen, I’m basically guaranteed to get more cloudflare captchas, but if I open it full screen I only get one, maybe two.

Have you updated recently? A few weeks ago there were some changes to YouTube that basically shut down newpipe and other similar clients, but an update should have fixed that.
