LTO3 is a (relatively expensive) supplement that does not require any monitoring or checks. It's just a supplement. But it has been doing wonders for me: I have been free of brain fog for 3 months now (before it was always foggy).

It's not as strong as all the amphetamins but maybe it's useful to know about it :-)

Andijviestamppot met veel kaas en spekjes en op het laatst een paar teentjes verse knoflook :-) Yammie.

En bitterballen natuurlijk.

As other people said, getting the mail delivered is the hard part. Check if your mail is received by Google, Microsoft, because apparently they blacklist by default.

You can do everything yourself and then set up a relay for sending, so all mail is sent through someone else who can make sure it is delivered. Then you could get something like purelymail, which is 10$/year to deliver your mail. (I have no relation with purelymail, I am their customer, but it took me quite a while to find a mail relay that is not for sending bulk spam but for real people).

I'm not here to recommend a NUC (because I don't know), but a thing about the Pis: I have several, some have been constantly running in some form ore another for 10 years, and I have had 0 issues with overheating or SD-cards. Also I only use the official power supplies.

The Pi 4 and 5 have heating issues, so I added passive cooling to them (if I would do heavy tasks like transcoding I would add active cooling, but that is not my scenario).

They are reliable little machines :-)

(Also they are limited in CPU and memory, so I also have a NUC. It's an official Intel so not the kind you want ;-) )

If they would just display the actual drama instead of inventing it, I would watch it! :-)

Just curious ... what does this mean for signal - does the Guardian Project do funding / infrastructure / code? I don't really know them.

How do other people like it, so far?

I enjoyed unlocking all the colors, it was a fun new concept (although visually challenging, everything was ugly and weird visual artifacts everywhere).

.. het is vermoeiend. De hele tijd via de rechter proberen te voorkomen dat je iets aan het milieu moet doen.

BBB wilde toch met Europa praten over de gemaakte afspraken? Hoe is dat eigenlijk gegaan?

Yeah there are soooo many servers out there. Joining Discord is the way to find them (unfortunately).

Okay, sure, do fast. Then:

  • I'll add a refactor task to the backlog filed under "tech debt"
  • please confirm again that you know we are still behind on security updates and that you're ok with it because you are responsible for how I spend my hours
  • I'd like more time to spend on bugs before we lose customers.
  • Also I won't touch that buggy part without taking the time for a rewrite because we did it "fast" per your request and it's so hard to maintain now that it becomes a time sink on every minor change
  • I know we are under time pressure right now, but as a stakeholder I request we plan a few sprints for improving reliability of our product
  • It's not "fun" to work on our code. We might lose developers if we do not address this. We both know the good coders will have no problem finding a new job and you'll end up with the bad ones.
  • Either that, or plan for loss of personnel and the extra time we need for the hiring process and the loss of developer hours

Change management! :-)

Or, if possible, change employer.

(And I know we're in meme-land, but I always see it as a developer's task to inform of the trade-off between fast and good)

Thank you! I've looked into PARA, and ... Area's and Resources seem quite close? The difference is that Area's are driven by duty/responsibility while Resources are driven by interest? How do you divide the two?

I think I already have this division in my work-life. We have tickets that have clear targets (projects), we have a wiki for useful information (long-term).

I will keep it in my head while organizing my private life.

 

Hello, ADD-"enjoyer" here.

I think I am not alone when, typically, I am constantly overwhelmed. Too many thoughts and impulses. So I don't make a lot of decisions; I usually respond to other people's decisions or I let me guide by suggestions from the people around me.

Now I am in the situation that some things are changing at my work. I have actual influence this time, I could say "next year I want to work on X" and X might actually be my new job.

I have some ideas where to start thinking (start writing down random thoughts and see if I can make a list), but as I am always overwhelmed I am having trouble to "find the right mood". I always get distracted by other thoughts and I always end up doing things entirely unrelated (currently I am baking bread, collecting documents for my insurance, and I am almost ready to pick a new e-mail provider)

Does this feel familiar to anyone? Probably ;-)

I feel like I need the right circumstances. Should I start with some mindfulness-excercises? Walk for a bit? Find an empty room with no distractions? Find some good background music?

How do you deal with this? What works for you?

Thanks for your input :-)

 

How are you enjoying Secret Life until now? I've had a lot of laughs and I only watched Gem and Mumbo. Still need to watch Grian and Etho, they are always very good at being there with all the shenanigans. Anyone else I should watch this time?

(Also this is bad for my real life, so much stuff to watch)
