    • Only lay in bed for sex and sleep, nothing else.
    • Make sure your screens are off or have an orange filter for nighttime.
    • Toke it up, if you want and it’s legal, about 20 minutes before bed.
    • Go to bed around the same time each night.
    • and the most important… INVEST IN A GOOD MATTRESS!

    Not affiliated at all, just a customer, but AmeriSleep beds have been the best beds I’ve ever laid in! They have just enough give in firmness to avoid hip pain while sleeping on my side, but support those pressure points evenly with your spine.

    To turn away from the “go hard onto Linux” tropes, try Windows Update Blocker (WuB). I’ve been using it to pick when my machine, as well as friends and families machines, update. Every month or so, you need to turn updates back on by using it and updating the OS, but it can be scripted to enable/disable updates at any time, if you don’t feel like thinking about it. It not only blocks if but protects from reenabling updates by that fucking medic service that will try to turn it back on when the machine is idle.



  • I’ve let non-verbal pets (my snake, for one) die because I knew I needed to feed them, but my task paralysis prevented me from doing so when I thought of it and my lack of time management meant they could always go one more day.

    Man, 2020 sucked major ass. I’m sorry Juno! You deserved better than me.

    It is exhausting to live like this. Now, I just have passive SI and am waiting to find out what cancer or terminal disease I have that will claim my life while I slowly eat and sit myself to an early grave.





  • If you figure out the motivation thing, give me buzz. For winding down, I found that doing mindless sorting tasks is good for relaxing. For instance, I build LEGO things, my son plays with them and takes them apart eventually, and I sort them back out. One time, I went through my son’s old clothes and made a list of what was in each box. I felt so relaxed after the clothes logging! It was a nice little Saturday!

    We are wired differently. “Winding down” doesn’t look the same for us. It’s just hard to find the right task to let our brains relax.






  • I don’t run my own instance, but one concern I see grappled with by instances, at some time in their existence, is how to handle image storage and embedding. I won’t pretend to know the options or have opinions on which to use or how to resolve the larger issues, but I see that as a large hurdle to mainstream, in addition to the points referenced by OP.



    • The Fountain
    • Schindler’s List
    • Idiocracy
    • This is SpinalTap
    • Saving Private Ryan
    • Monty Python and the Holy Grail

    Probably missing some, but these are the ones I can remember right now. I think Schindler’s List should be required viewing by everyone before they graduate high school. I remember when they used to air it on regular TV, unedited and uncensored, commercial free. I feel we were nicer and more willing to avoid wars back then.

    I ain’t ashamed to say it, I cry every damn time I watch it.
