๐Ÿฅ‡ Switched to Arch Linux

๐Ÿฅ‡ Created Macro.py

Following on from some of my other projects, I wanted to create a general purpose macro program. The program has 2 modes, record and playback. Once record is activated any inputs on mouse or keyboard are logged with a timestamp and location in a .csv file. When the file is ran in playback mode all inputs will be executed in the same location and time. This is useful for automation and allows me to spam check the RSA.ie site for Driving test appointments. (this may seem unethical but there is already hundreds of bots out there doing the same, if you cant beat them join them)

๐Ÿฅ‡ Applied for Driving Test

Finishing all my Lessons means I can finally enter the long long long waiting list to get a driving test. Should be able to pass by the time it comes around if I can learn how to reverse around a corner without demolishing the curb

๐Ÿฅ‡ Switched to Linux Mint

My growing despise for Windows made me try something new. Despite the websites Windows 95 theme, I hate how slow Windows is, I hate how it forces me into updates, I hate Onedrive, I hate Edge and I hate waiting. Switching to Mint was super easy and I still had the option to boot into Windows to play games with kernel-level anticheat. Setting up keybinds made the whole system feel responsive and instantaneous. Without touching my mouse I could open Google Classroom, Firefox, Terminal, Spotify and more in seconds. So glad I made the switch, never going back as long as I can help it

๐Ÿฅ‡ Built own PC

A lengthy and stressful process, But it was fine. Having watched Linus Tech Tips I was basically an expert on PCs and the computer posted first try. One minor hiccup was putting on the CPU cooler wrong, Monitoring my temps the CPU was reaching 95C and throttling, This was quickly fixed. Currently using a Radeon 6700XT, Intel 12400F and 32GB DDR5 RAM (Looking back on it im glad I bought the RAM while I still could)

๐Ÿฅ‡ Jellyfin Home Media Server

Having a Home server already in the house from QNAP systems, the setup was relatively easy. I had all of our movies, TV, and music running on a local IP accessible by anyone on the Network. Mother was a big fan of this. Bosh
