That's awesome!

[@ThatOneGib]

Thank you!

Nicely instructive. You may want to invest more effort into better computer posture if you feel your neck protesting, though; sometimes it's a small change, like lifting the screen up a bit and/or applying adequate lumbar support, and the results can be surprisingly nice.

The screen is actually already too high up, i know some rules and tricks to achieve those rules when it comes to workplace ergonomics, i used to study IT so they taught us all that. It's just that i really don't have any money spare for such things atm

[@Hugmir]

@@ThatOneGib You can improv a decent lumbar support with a rolled up towel, though. It's handy-adjustable that way, even! For me the absence or presence of that one small thing determines whether my lower back is happy or not in a pretty huge way. Experiment and improvise! :p
...and also exercise, of course - I owe a bit to Bob & Brad's youtube videos on physical therapy and always recommend them as cool repository of practical fixes. (not to imply you're not exercising, I'm just projecting my own deficiency of it in my dialogue, I guess)

[@ThatOneGib]

@@Hugmir I am in fact not exercising a lot of the time, unfortunately. My life doesn't really allow me to, i need to take care of mom and work for the living :/
But thank you for the tips nevertheless, i'm gonna try and see if something works
