Managing emotions in the face of change (fedia.io)
 

Hi all, not sure if posts like this are allowed here but: I'm a dad to a 7 year old on the "less severe" end of the spectrum (is that the right way to phrase it?) and while he generally lives a pretty normal life he's recently started having trouble dealing with emotional changes. Things like:

  • adjusting to changes in his schedule (like a school lesson has to be changed)
  • having a disagreement with someone
  • when he or a group he is part of loses at something (he takes board/card games too seriously and holds himself personally responsible for losing)

Things like this cause him to get immediately frustrated which quickly moving into anger and screaming and some cases violence. Obviously mum and I are trying to help him understand and manage these feelings but I'm worried the way we're trying to help him with it isn't the way he needs.

Does anyone here have any experience with similar situations or advice on helping him to manage these emotions? Thanks in advance.

I think you want to look for Project 4k77 stuff, I seem to remember that was restored from the original reels or something

Not sure how much it lines up with your specifics but I've used Neutron for ages and it supports WevDAV, SFTP, UPnP/DLNA amongst other things and sounds great (to my untrained eats anyway)

Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Thanks for the input everyone, I think I'll go with rolling apps and OS into one drive as that seems inescapable and using fstab to mount my games drive inside /home/USER/ with a media drive left as just a drive. That leaves me with my smaller drive for Windows and a spare OS agnostic drive for both OS's to access.

Advice for a newbie - Multiple drives setup (fedia.io)
 

Hi all, I've had a trawl around but can't quite find the answer I'm looking for. I'm currently on Windows with 5 separate physical storage drives with different purposes - OS, games, media, apps, random bullshit.

I've been trialling Linux on and off for ages and I think I've settled on Garuda for now. I'd like to have a similar style of separation under Linux if possible - in case I fancy a change of distro etc.

I'm assuming I can just leave my media drive as just a drive. My understanding is that apps/games are installed in the /usr/bin folder?

Is it possible or even worthwhile specifying a /usr/bin/apps and /usr/bin/games folder and pointing each folder to their respective drive? Or as both drives are the same make/model would it just be better to use them both as a single virtual volume?

Thanks in advance!
