I'm assuming this is a semi-common setup but I'm not getting exactly what I need from google. I'm by no means an expert in the Linux space and would consider myself knowing just enough to get myself in trouble.

I currently am running a Windows 11 machine with 5 drives, each of which have Bitlocker (full disk) enabled. I am planning on installing Bazzite on one of my drives, dual booting, and continue using the existing drives for storage.

I've done some looking around and it seems that you can mount Bitlocker volumes with dislocker, but is there a better way to do this, like an OS agnostic encryption solution or anything?

As the title says - I'm pretty new to making my own "original" builds, usually I find a skill that I like, find someone else's build here or on poe ninja, and then tweak it. That really isn't working for Armageddon Brand though, I'm not seeing much of anything. Can someone point me in the right direction or give some general advice for building brand builds? Thanks in advance.

Both of my cats (both female and spayed, ~2 years old) have puking up some of their food, and I've been seeing a good amount of hair in their puke. They've both gotten hairballs in the past (maybe ~1x a month), but it's recently been happening almost every other day. One of them has black fur and the other white, so I can tell whose puke is whose and it's been pretty evenly split between the two of them.

I'm assuming they're shedding more because of the warmer weather, but both of them hate being brushed. What should be my next steps? Forcefully brush them, or something else?

Hey all, I've been on the shot since around November and have been pretty successful so far, down 65lbs at time of writing. I've recently gone up to 12.5 and the side effects are starting to get worse, mostly constipation. I know I'm not taking in enough water, so I'm working on that, but I've felt pretty bloated the last two weeks or so. I'm still having regular (daily) bowel movements, but it's been less consistent.

Tomorrow's my day I usually take my shot and I'm not really feeling all that enthusiastic about it, which is a first. I've seen people safely skipping dosages; should I do that, or should I drop my dosage for the week instead? Or continue to tough it out?

Thanks!

Did a search for this topic and was really surprised this topic was never brought up in relation to Red Button/Blue Button

There's a well known paper written by Peter Singer, "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", that posits that "if it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it."

He then concludes that every moral person should therefore be compelled to donate all of their money up to the point, and only keep enough so their basic needs should be met. "it follows that I and everyone else in similar circumstances ought to give as much as possible, that is, at least up to the point at which by giving more one would begin to cause serious suffering for oneself and one's dependents"

I think this bares strong resemblance to the argument for pressing the blue button of "what about babies and others who press blue randomly"; except this is real. There are thousands of reputable charities or charity work that need your money. So I ask you, blue button pressers: have you donated all of your wealth to charity yet? If so, why not? As Singer says,

"The argument would be sound if the conclusion were: if everyone in circumstances like mine were to give £5, I would have no obligation to give more than £5. If the conclusion were so stated, however, it would be obvious that the argument has no bearing on a situation in which it is not the case that everyone else gives £5. This, of course, is the actual situation. It is more or less certain that not everyone in circumstances like mine will give £5. So there will not be enough to provide the needed food, shelter, and medical care. Therefore by giving more than £5 I will prevent more suffering than I would if I gave just £5."

Edit: If you have no interest in engaging in the discussion, please don't leap to insults.

Let me start off by saying that I'm relatively new (1.2k hours) and absolutely love this game.

I some issues with my vision that make it very difficult for me to play most older games. I have a hard time discerning objects and colors at low light. I actually tried getting into PoE around 9 years ago, but at the time it was so bad that I wasn't able to play for more than 10 minutes at the time without getting motion sickness or eyestrain.

Now thanks to some improvements into my vision and modern Nvidia settings, I'm able to crank up things to a point where I'm able to enjoy the game for maybe 80% of the time. A large majority of the maps are so dark and so washed out that I need to bump up my monitor's brightness settings to the max to see anything. Running deli in any map just makes things worse.

Color contrast is abysmal. What prompted this post was going through lab for the xth time and realizing for the first time that there are pressure plates on the ground in some places. But I also can't really tell where some of the traps are in most places.

I know people already have a problem with clarity in this game, but as someone with vision issues it feels extra horrible. Please do something. I would even be happy with native brightness settings.

Please stop getting baited by twitter trolls who post things to get a rise out of you. Please stop making every post about the game be related to a manufactured twitter war. PLEASE just ignore the trolls and discuss video games for once in your life.

I used to frequent 4chan, and this behavior is just as insufferable as the people inventing "muh SJWs" to criticize every game. Cmon people, you're better than this.

I just finished my 100th Breach/Beyond map and I have nothing to show for it. I went basically neutral currency-wise, and got a few levels out of it. I do understand that this is a jackpot strat, but I really struggle to see how people are getting the 20+d per hour that they claim they are.

My setup for most of the maps was the following:

T16.5 map with maven avarice chisel (164c, 82c after splitting the map)

2x instability scarab (~2c)

2x wisps (~3c)

1x bloodlines (475c this morning, ranged all the way up to high 500s during testing).

40%-80% deli depending on what I wanted to try (55-110c, double if one of the good deli orbs)

Using astrolabe for an average cost of ~20c per map

So in total, around 690c per map, or just about 2d at time of writing.

Maps were rolled with minimum 100 quant and 140 currency

In my 100 maps, I dropped two dust t0s, averaged 2 raw div and one valdos per map. Best map was 6 raw div. Many maps gave close to nothing.

Maps were always full cleared, breaches were edged, breaches were overlapped, and I'm getting around 14k kills per map.

tl;dr, breach beyond is the most streamer luck strat of all time.
