take a nap a few hour sbefor eyou log into wow if you can

drink black coffee but not too much too fast. maybe 1 large cup depending on how often you drink coffee normally every 3-5 hours. otherwise if you drink to much too often you will get a buzz, get jittery and anxious, adn then literally fall asleep standing up after about 4-6 hours when teh coffee wears off.

or alternatively drink a few redbulls spaced out by a bout an hour and it will be hard to fall asleep until like 4 am.

oh i realized you want to stay up even longer than my suggestions make sense for . i dunno 60-% pure coacaine or methamphetamine maybe? :laugh: ;)

why are you staying awake all monday night? that would be the best time to get some extra shut eye for extra long grind sessions all week or until you hit 85. go to bed early and wake up late if possible and then stay up for as long as you schedule permits.'

edit: oh wait 2am tuesday MONRING? just go to bed early tonight then take a nap when you get home from class for a couple hours if you can. then make a pot of coffee around 10pm monday night or buy an 8pack of redbull and drink 2 and save a 3rd or 4th one til the servers go live.

keep your energy level high

eat multiple times throughout the day. eat food that is healthy for you, protein, fibre, **** like that. no mctrash, bk, jack in the box, sonic burgers, etc etc

oh, and no hardcore drinking or you'll just be ****ing everything up and pass out

Don't do it. You'll feel horrible in class and won't learn anything. It'll take a few days before you fully recover. All in all you'll be sacrificing a lot of quality, productive time for a few extra hours of WoW.

sleep you plank, seriously you're life cannot revolve around one game :blink:

Go to church if you want to preach. Nothing wrong with a major play session every year and a half when a new expansion comes out.

What I would say is to catch some sleep before the release. Are you picking it up at a store or do you have digital delivery? If you are doing digital, just sleep til 1:50, wake up, play WoW. If you're picking it up at the store, sleep til just before 12, then go buy it. No sense in waiting in the line to buy it when you can't play til 2am anyway.

Here on the east coast, its 3am. Stores open at 8. Much better decision to get the night of rest, pick it up at 8 and then rock out until you pass out from there.

stick needles in your eyes, and anywhere else you can think of, that way you will stay awake. Either that or wait until you wake up naturally and get it then. NO GAME IS WORTH STAYING UP FOR IN ORDER TO PLAY!!!

    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      Why would any self-respecting intelligent person follow any recommendation by Donald's GOP administration? With almost two years of fabrications, deceit, and blatantly illegal behavior, why believe them now? They had best be gone after the November 2026 election, so we'll wait and see.
    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
