Geez, that sucks. I have a similar problem in my room back in my hometown pretty much every rainy season. The other side of one of my walls is in the outside and completely unprotected, and since my house is located in the second floor it's not exactly trivial to clad or paint it. It always gets wet and attracts mold. I've had to sleep in the couch in the living room several nights waiting for the rain to stop and my wall to dry so I could solve the problem. It turns out breathing in mold while you sleep is pretty damn terrible for your throat and lungs (I've gotten sick several times because of it).
I feel you. I had to deal with mold some months ago when I was sick because of it (I suspected I was actually infected with COVID because I got some symptoms - thankfully it wasn't the case). What I did to get rid of it is to buy a can of chlorophyll specifically for mold and rub it against most of my room's wall. It vanished after a while, and for now it didn't return at full force, even with our ongoing rainy season and my home being mostly humid, though I'm still on the lookout should it be an issue again.
We've struggled quite a bit with mold ourselves in our old flat. In large parts due to negligence on our part, I'd say.

In our new flat, I don't think we have any issues with mold yet. It's a passive house which basically generates a constant air flow, and I think that greatly helps with preventing mold, even with us still being pretty negligent. I dunno, there might be something in the cracks of the shower door, since it's quite dirty and black and hard to clean, but it could also just be random dirt. Anyways, we try to clean it with chlorine whenever we get the chance, and it seems to at least partially come off.
Feel free to visit my website/blog - it's updated rarely, but it looks pretty cool!

Probably cuz no one posted anything controversial. Not that I advocate for that just for the sake of engagement.
Seems like when you post something you feel passionate about it barely (if at all) gets responded to, but as soon as you post something controversial that someone disagrees with, suddenly you get dogpiled, but that's more of an "internet in general" kinda thing, not just this forum specifically. Almost like ppl would much rather respond to negativity than positivity or things that are not strictly negative.
The definition of insanity is posting in my own hack thread(s) over and over and expecting a different result.

Cause there are less and less real nerds and thus forums are slowly dying[citation needed] So that means your job is getting less and less important.

thank god theres less real nerds now. take a hike guys!
I think public comments on the internet basically should consist mostly of arguments, and therefore be highly negative (although obviously not any old negativity-spreading post is good).

A useful standard for communication in general is that some message you send (be it on a forum, face-to-face, the front page of the New York Times or whatever) should (at least) be informative or important. An informative message would be one that contains some idea that the audience is not already familiar with; an important message would be one that the audience has some reason to care about even if the ideas in it are familiar. In public commentary, simple agreement will usually fail on both counts. If you agree with somebody, that basically means your ideas are similar to theirs, so it's not likely agreement will make for an informative post. And being a public comment, most of the audience are functionally strangers to you and it is probably not important to them whether you personally agree with them (note that this point doesn't apply well to private or personal communications as a lot of people would think it's important to know whether their friends/family/etc agree with them about some topics).

I bring this up because the structures of most social media websites seem to promote disagreements which are uninformative and unimportant, and in combination with the prevalence of social media and the fact that it's basically unpleasant when somebody disagrees with you I think this has resulted in an unwarranted prejudice against disagreements in general.

Furthermore I think the internet has a comparative advantage as an environment for disagreements, meaning that if you are going to have a disagreement with someone it is better to have it online than in some other environment. I could make a lot of long arguments for this point but probably the simplest convincing reason I have is that it is more difficult to escalate an online disagreement with a stranger to violence than it would be if you were just physically talking to that person, since in the latter case you always have your fists. Since internet comments don't seem to have comparative advantage in much of anything else (at least nothing as widespread as disagreements are), this in combination with the usual facts about comparative advantage suggest that most internet comments should be about disagreements and many (not all and probably not even most) disagreements should happen through internet comments. Note that this doesn't extend to all forms of internet comment; Twitch chat, for example, is a pretty bad place to have a disagreement, as are many social media websites. But if you website isn't good at hosting disagreements it's giving up one of the key advantages of the internet and many websites which are not good for disagreements seem to me like they do not make up for it and simply should not be used.

Or, for a ruder way of putting all this: it's not actually a problem that people online are mad at each other all the time, even for those people. If you don't like that, go outside, or talk to your friends, or read Epictetus, or try yoga, or...

Discord pretty much replaced this thread as means of conversation in the community, but since I'm not there right now I figured I'd use it for a quick life update, so you folks at least hear about it.

So, my master's degree has begun today! I am currently 2100 km away from my hometown, sharing an apartment in a small-ish city in the interior of the state of São Paulo. We arrived a week ago and spent this time before classes putting our place together (we had no furniture at all).

This is my first time living away from my parents and I hope to survive, but things seem to be looking up for now. Expenses haven't been low tho and I'll have to endure at least a couple of months with no income, savings only. lol. But I think I'll be fine

I thought no longer having a job would give me some extra free time to be around but I'mmmm not really sure "master's student" and "free time" are such matching statements. We'll see, I suppose. I might just keep being sporadic.

bit late on this but congrats!! and also, hopefully your time going after the master's degree goes well + hopefully you don't run into a running out of money situation

if you need help with information on how to handle living alone in this state i might be able to help

i myself will say, after i get my technologist degree (it's one step below bachelor's degree) i am done with the education system. had a good run, not interested in more XD

got WAY too many activities to do right now and am actively looking to knock things out of my to-do list, not add more (i guess smwc kind of got de-prioritized for me so uh, yay inactivity [note: this is likely to continue])

i've heard the interior of this state can be much more chill to live at than the metro region or the city itself, but it's also more difficult to land a job unless it's like remote work. hopefully the people there aren't too nosy or well, let's just say it legitimately surprised me when i found out that in a city not even that far into the interior over here, there were families that still operated the "old way" (for example a married couple where men were only allowed to talk to the husband and women only allowed to talk to the wife, and by talk i mean share any singular word)

as for me: i live on my own, have a job, trying to finish college, am saving up money, managing life. that's the most abridged way i have of explaining how my life's been, basically.

Hi thank you! Things have been well so far. My savings have kind of evaporated in the process of moving lol, but I'll be able to survive... I think. Thankfully I'm not living alone, I share an apartment with 2, which cuts a lot of expenses. That said, I absolutely need to get a better grasp of my finances, and even then I don't think I'll be able to save much in the near future. Living is expensive I found out, especially here I bet.

I've never been to São Paulo city (unless passing by its outskirts counts), but the city I'm in is pretty chill, yeah. It's a very academic city, so the younger students can obfuscate the sheer amount of conservative old pricks that inhabit here :P

Not a fan of the cold though, not at all.

Life's a ride - hope you've been able to make it a fun one. All the best to you!

hi (or not, I guess this isn't used anymore lol)

idk why the site decided to log me out, but I didn't really mind it since there wasn't a lot of interesting threads anyway
The site automatically logs you out after like 30 days. I wouldn't make a big deal out of that LMAO. I'm just used to it.

I've got the romhacking itch again, so might as well login and post something.
In the few years since I've been active here, I went back to college and finally got one of those paper thingies that unlock a bunch of jobs. I was immediately thrust into a sysadmin role and it's a bit overwhelming at times, but it's fun to figure stuff out! #smrpg{haha}
We're currently rebuilding my front porch and I'm pooped. Doesn't help that I bought shoes with a strong arch in the sole, while I've got flat feet. Hurts like a bitch if I stand up all day (which is the case right now).
