This was my thought as well because the problem resolves itself within a matter of minutes. However it doesn't make sense that OP would have the same problem for multiple instances, and could access each instance in the browser without issue. Also, our instance showed 100% uptime when I initially checked the post so I'm not sure it's that.

My biggest hurdle to making the switch is that it takes effort.

Thats pretty understandable honestly. If my old netbook wasn't so bogged down from Windows, there's a chance I wouldn't have switched to Linux. In a way, I'm glad for it, but it woulda been easier if it just came with Linux preinstalled <3

The biggest thing I remember was driver support being awful. I guess it's a lot better now?

In my experience drivers have been pretty solid... except for NVIDIA. People seem to either have 0 issues or tons. Fingers crossed the upcoming Nova+NVK driver combo brings a more consistent and stable experience for all :)

I'm not sure, but I think the windows progress bar thingy includes the time spent actually writing to disk, whereas on Linux (or i guess cinnamon) only shows when it gets to disk-cache. If you are full on RAM or tried shutting down immediately afterwards it should take a bit longer since it has to actually write it to disk

Thats my guess anyway

Cool, thanks for sharing. Maybe I'll take a look. I don't know a lot about i2p's protocol though.

There's another i2p router in rust I'm aware of but it hasnt been active in 2 years it seems. Maybe it's a useful reference to you https://github.com/str4d/ire :)

The other logic I've started trying to apply is using words that repeat letters.

That too. I did this a couple games ago when the word was CARRY. I had ⬛️🟥⬛️⬛️🟥 and was able to use MAMMY DADDY NANNY SASSY. I think these are the most optimal types of words because it lets you bypass the requirement of needing yellows to pad space, and as a consequence the yellows don't bully you into a corner as quickly. I guess thinking in terms of information, it does good at keeping the set of possible words as big as possible. (In normal Wordle, you want to pick a word which halves the set.)

Yellows (and reds) seem good because they slow down how fast you go through gray letters. I'm not so sure the best starting word is the most obscure word. Good ones seem to reveal a pattern of "rhymes," which is what I was going for with the ⬛️🟨🟨🟨🟨 pattern. Unfortunately I already used quite a few letters by that point :(

Disclaimer: I played this round alongside my dad so I did have an advantage in knowing where some letters were. More realistically I'd have gotten 9 or something :)

Thats a good observation. I would think I use Ctrl more frequently than Alt, so it would make sense to have Alt where Ctrl usually is, and Ctrl where Shift usually is.

Interesting, I'll have to check it out. I've been passively wanting to leave brave on iOS for some time now. Thank you!

Nope. I use left shift for everything.

Even if you do use both shift keys correctly, it still feels awkward to me since you have to sacrifice a pinky from home row and shift your hands.

It's why I've been curious to try a layout where Shift and Alt are swapped, that way you can use your thumb to press shift and keep your fingers in place.
