Haha yeah I guess when you tldr it that's what it boils down too. Though when you're seeing things that don't exist, if covering your eyes didn't work... I guess it's time for a hospital trip.

Also, thanks I'm glad I figure it out too.

Yeah it was crazy scarry. I also had a lot of stress in my life at the time and I didn't realize how much stress and burnout had built up within me. I'm sure that helped contribute to my sleeping situation more so than scarry movies. The sad truth is the boring day to day of real life is more horrific than any horror film.

I was either experiencing this or something similar to it. I was waking in the night and seeing things in the dark that I was sure was there. Really terrible things. A person standing in the corner of my room, something crawling on the ceiling.

I did some reading on the subject and decided to try a sleep mask for a few days. The whole time I wore it I never experienced the visions again. So after that test I decided to get blackout curtains because it was the light bleeding in from a streetlamp that was contributing to the hallucinations.

Yeah, I ended up just tossing another $15 at Parted Magic. It really just has all the tools you want on in one place. Great for recovery or destruction.

I'll second ventroy. It actually just works.
I have a 256GB usb stick loaded with various install isos. It's great being able to just copy over the iso instead of having to image them every time I need one.

I'm one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it's nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.

With this announcement I said to myself hell let's try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that's it's always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.

I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who's curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.

I'm going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.

Oh, nice. Thanks.

Is that app tracking protection a newer android thing?

Reminds me of this classic gem...
