How to get Blurays to play on Manjaro

Mit mentale sammenbrud

Jeg havde brugt 3,5 år, på at uddanne mig som pædagog. Jeg blev færdig med gode karakterer, og en god mængde praksiserfaring gennem praktikker og vikar arbejde. Men der gik ikke mere end et halvt års tid, og så blev jeg ikke forlænget mere, hos min tidligere specialpædagogiske arbejdsplads.

Min historie, del 1

Jeg har i mange år tænkt over hvor jeg kommer fra, hvem jeg er og hvorfor jeg er som jeg er.‌‌ Jeg har søgt svar hist og her, uden egentlig at finde ud af noget reelt om mig selv. Er jeg psykisk syg eller bare anderledes i forhold til andre?

Charlotte

Jeg ved en del om min mor, af det hun og andre har fortalt mig, og selvfølgelig det jeg selv har oplevet på første hånd. Der er dog også en del jeg ikke ved, fordi hun har spillet med kortene tæt på kroppen og et godt poker-face. Jeg ved at

Tidligere generationer, samme historie

Min tipoldemor, Stefania, som kom fra Polen, arbejdede med roer på Falster og fik to døtre. Gurli, fødselsår ukendt, og min oldemor Esther, 25. juni 1925, med min tipoldefar. Jeg ved ikke noget yderligere om dem, men jeg fik at vide fra Anni og senere Lars, at Esther heller ikke

Min mormors skygger

Efter min mormor Anni’s død, arvede jeg en del koge- og bagebøger, samt husråds udklip fra magasiner, broderi projekter, sysager, knapper, lidt fotos, og en masse artikler som Anni havde revet ud og gemt. Det var her at jeg, gennem timevis af sortering, fik en anden fornemmelse af hvad

Det der blev den endelige begyndelse

Den 18. Januar 2021, står jeg midt i min største sorg. Min mormor, Anni, er døden nær efter et langt år med kræft for tredje gang. Hun var ikke til at genkende da vi så hende en sidste gang. Hvad der kun føltes som 10-15 minutter varede i mere end

Ryzen 7 2700 + RX 560 vs. Ryzen 7 5700G

I just got a new APU, because I wanted to switch out my old setup for a new CPU, that is more energy effecient and a fan that makes less noise. I read online that the Ryzen 7 5700G would be a great way to do this, for my current

My Home Server setup

My Home Server setup

I have been running a home server for about some years now. And no, it's not an Intel dual-Xeon or anything crazy like that. My home server has actually always been an ARM box. The first one I ever did, was with the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B with 512

Igang igen

Næsten 6 år er gået siden jeg sidst satte mig ned og fik delt mine inderste tanker. Nu har livet bud mig på mange glæder og udfordringer, især det sidste år, og nu er tiden moden til at jeg igen kan dele mine refleksioner på livet. Jeg har de sidste

Farvel og alligevel ikke...

For nogen går tiden i stå når de vinder i lotto. Andre når de står overfor dem de elsker. Sådan er vi alle forskellige, men lige for mig er det når én der stå mig nær, dør. Polle, en kær og nær ven af min familie trådte af på sin

Godt nok er jeg ikke på vej i seng, men…

Livet er stressende, og den kan fjerne jorden under benene på én, så man falder langt og lander hårdt. Jeg fik en knytnæve lige i kalenderen som har rystet alt planlagt for idag og imorgen. Jeg er som sølvfisken på badeværelset hos en person der lider af insomnia og næsten
