Eat for 4 hours.
So in one day, do not eat during 20h period, then eat during a 4h period.

Es ist Wieder da or Look who's back.
I liked the movie very much, although it's not for everyone, I imagine.

Antennapod can do that. You can define the sort order per show.

Agreed, being spread out isn't the best way forward. I'm subscribed to this one and the one at kbin.social at the moment, waiting to see which one takes off the most.

From what I remember is that the bias reports themselves are quite biased. I believe to favour pro-semitic media's, but I'm not too sure about it.

I just paid $10 to print 2 black and white pages. What printer should I get to never do that again?
I print at work, a printer is not coming near my house. I try to avoid owning demon machines.

In English, I personally listen to and can recommend 99% invisible, no such thing as a fish and stuff you should know.
99% invisible: started as a podcast explaining small design /architectural choices which you never noticed before but are everywhere and why they make such a difference (like marks on windows where it is a good place to enter a burning building with a ladder lift), but is now a bit broader than that. American made so a bit american focused as well.
No such thing as a fish: factbased talk with 4 hosts, most of them comedians, based around facts, from the team who created/creates? the questions for QI on the BBC. Always good fun to listen to.
Stuff you should know: two men explaining random stuff which you probably have heard of but don't know the fine details about, like how vaccines work, how gerrymandering works, ... American made so focus on America again, and quite heavy on adds, so keep that fast-forward-button of antennapod nearby! ( I've had antennapod configured to that pressing next song button skips 20 seconds, makes it very easy to skip commercials in the car or on bike.)
Those podcasts all are still active, I've also listened with pleasure to a couple of series which were just a number of stories:

Not sure where OP lives but in Belgium it's common and I think the default for new installations.

Question: Linux desktops for programming
Fedora with XFCE on a Thinkpad T14, which has official fedora-support.
We develop our own php-based CRM and host on redhat-based OS's so having a similar local environment helps.
The jetbrains-IDE's work flawlessly on Linux here and I think they cover almost all languages by now.
There's no guidance on the DE in our company, I simply preferred XFCE when I installed my system. I think I'll be trying out KDE on my next system.

I currently use newpipe on my phone, from which I can share YouTube-movies to bubbleUPnP which can stream to my television. Somehow that results in no ads on the television. It's a great way for longer videos. For shorter it's not that good as you can't simply go to the next movie.

What to do when a MySQL/MariaDB database gets too large for a single host?
At work we use maxscale, which acts as a proxy delegating traffic to multiple mariadb-nodes, with a single node acting as the primary handling the writes.
The other nodes are eventually consistent, so if you need to do write+read to the same node, things need to be wrapped in a transaction (or a hint needs to be added to the query specifying which node needs to handle the query).
We don't manage this ourselves, as we use a managed service for this, so no idea how complicated it is to manage.

46% for 42 minutes of background use is pretty wild though.
I've also had some high usage from antennapod, not sure if it is still happening. I've seen some threads online about but I'm not sure if it was fixed by now.
