  • Exactly.

    Sure many ADHD traits are occasionally experience by non-neurodivergent people,

    They key is "occasionally" - for someone with ADHD these traits are pretty much constant, never go away. Medication and practice may reduce their impact, and you may find ways to mitigate/compensate, but the underlying trait is always there, waiting for you to become complacent.

    A neurotypical person rarely understands how much effort is put in just for something mundane.

  • Nope, I don't use the home screen - it's such a terrible idea.

    I use folders on every device*, using the same structure, that way all software/tools are categorized the same though they're different on each OS.

    *Except iOS because it sucks from a customization standpoint.

  • Losing weight is shockingly effective.

    I've seen it in my whole family. We've talked about it. Snoring for us follows a clear pattern - gain weight, snore more. Lose weight, snoring goes away.

    Drinking - same thing.

  • Complaints have trended in the opposite direction, I'd say -- without a case, some phones can be so thin and slippery that they're hard to grip securely.

    PLASTIC is the answer. Give me a plastic-backed phone like my S4 had, something with texture. I have a 4 year old Moto with a plastic back and I have no problem gripping it without a case. And it's really thin too.

    Also, bring back some interesting designs like we had in the mid-late 2000's.

  • Interesting.

    Seems again, that this won't affect enterprise systems because of things like user rights (users don't run as admin) and GPO that controls the AV.

    No admin, it's not getting changed. GPO means even as admin, it probably takes an additional confirmation.

    If it gets past both of those...

    For the average home user, this is why you don't run as admin. That's 98% of the reason you don't see stuff like this on Linux: defaults have the initial user account not have root - you setup a root password during install, and a separate user account.

  • Start with one thing you want to do, the most important thing.

    Enumerate the requirements of that thing (machine to host it on, the kind of OS it requires, network connectivity, etc).

    You're doing what I've always heard as "solutioning" - getting overwhelmed with potential solutions before clearly identifying the problem (e.g. Requirements).

    Solve that first thing, then move on to the next thing.

    Odds are you can get started with something much simpler than jumping feet first into solutions like Proxmox (which has nothing to do with your stated goals, it's a storage/redundancy/virualization system). Forget about all that - if you eventually come to a point where you need those capabilities, you can deal with it then.

    I would start with redundant local data and a cloud backup. Three local drives with data sync'd or mirrored is much easier/cheaper to get going than spending time setting up a NAS that you don't know you need...yet.

    Or, if you know you need a NAS, then start there and get that established, stable first. Then start your sailing efforts. Pretty much all NAS solutions today support some kinds of virtualization/containerization. I don't recommend Proxmox as your start.

    Edit: I've run different flavors of Linux on a laptop for this, with an external drive that got sync'd to a second external drive and to a third external on another laptop. That mostly protected me from local/drive/system failures, at least.

  • You can always add your own router between the cable company and your network. This is, after all, what the entire internet looks like.

    I currently have 2 routers downstream of my cable modem, because I had them and it was easier than setting up a business class router.

  • You could just as easily (well, almost) copy them.in Windows.

    There shouldn't be any in-use conflict issues with files you're trying to copy, that only happens with open files, and protected operating system files (which you shouldn't have to copy).

    I use Robocopy every few days to keep about 4TB of data in sync.
