(Cont) If you can, take a brief cold shower every few hours and really focus on those 'hot' zones to cool them down.

There have been days where I've had to spend two hours in a cold bath with a book to keep cool enough to not get a migraine. Drought & water restrictions here mean baths are out of the question now so I've had to ramp up all the other things.

Ooh, also, suck on ice cubes. :)

I hear there's a bit of a heatwave in the UK right now. As someone from the UK who's been living in South Africa for almost a decade, some things I do to deal with the heat:

* Feet in a bowl of cold water
* Ice pack wrapped in a damp tea towel (especially good under your feet in bed at night)
* Damp tea towel around neck
* Spray bottle to spritz self with water

Keep your 'hot' zones cool; armpits, under boobs, crotch, back of knees. Having cool feet and neck helps immensely too.

Due to article comments getting repeatedly derailed by people talking about how they pirate games, we've hardened our rule on it. Site rules can be found here any time: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?module=rules

Are you the sort of person who is worried about standing up for yourself? Don't want to complain about being mistreated?

Here's the weird thing, you CAN do it, and once you ARE doing it, no-one will ever tell you that you can't.

No-one will turn around and say "You aren't the sort of person who does this, go away". People only ever deal with the situation you present to them.

Once you're doing it you ARE that sort of person and people accept it immediately no questions.

Been tethering internet at my house today 4 hours. Phone is not hot, the battery is holding up pretty good, and every site, connection, and video I've loaded has been near instant.

Why again am I gonna pay $40 a month to have internet hooked up separately to the apartment?

Our sister distro needs to upgrade its main server. Thanks for any help!

Is it possible to do a Masto to Pleroma migration? Posts and follows/followers?

What do you get when you cross a d20 with developer excuses? A pocket developer mini game!

I need a pair of these in my life.

Just randomly spotted this #ubuntu "bookazine" (collection of magazine articles, guides & how-to) in WH-Smith (newsagent). :) Nice to see.

Webtorrent (Bittorrent over WebRTC) is absolutely amazing: https://webtorrent.io/

I was wondering how Peertube (https://joinpeertube.org) could hope to scale at all; this is the answer. For popular content, this will work.

The long tail is harder. But this is a HUGE step in the right direction. Very cool!
