I have a love hate relationship with this man. He has spearheaded some of my favorite games even if they came nowhere close to what was promised. It's so weird to come back to Fable and enjoy it more than I did when it came out.

I did it for a few months and really enjoyed it. At the end of 3 months, I realized I could achieve nearly the same thing by turning off all notifications except messages and calls and uninstalling all social media. I realized... if I have the willpower to use a dumbphone I have the willpower to keep the distraction off my smartphone. Phone usage is now 100% intentional with the right setup.

Just the type of mod I want!

Dad programming jokes are the finest there is.

It's so nice to feel like tech isn't running your life anymore. If I'm in an app doing something, it's because I made the choice to do it. I still gotta work on that doom scrolling tho, YouTube being the biggest culprit. I think I might try setting some time limits.

Everyone should try disabling ALL notifications and then working their way up to understand which alerts are worth getting interrupted for. Everything you do on your phone ends up becoming more intentional and your battery life goes up too because your screen isn't constantly getting turned on from the barrage of notifications. To date, I only have 1 notification turned on and it's when my significant other messages me.

I think it's done like that on purpose so that their Canes sauce does a lot of the heavy lifting.

There's this fast food fried chicken chain called Raising Canes, used to serve massive strips. Now the price is 50% more expensive and 50% less chicken. They're extremely tiny, never going back again... yet all the zombies who love that place are relentlessly spending their money there anyway.

Edit: grammar

There's one called the Light phone and the battery life is below average. The screen is definitely a hog but cell radios can just as easily chew through the battery.

Can this work with the "off the shelf" mesh routers.

Akira x Barbie, very cool.

Please tell me ya'll actually talk to your ducks? Just me? Alright...

Yeah but can it host PiHole?

We have so much computing power at home and the chances you have good reliable Internet at home are better than before. I revived 5 year old PCs and it's way too much computing power for my self host needs. I'd have to pay $200+ a month for the same compute power in the cloud. Even a Raspberry Pi with 8GB is capable of running quite a bit for fractions of a penny in electricity.

There's so many services where I'm like, wow what am I even paying for? Email is one where I know exactly what I'm paying for.

Sync is $20 to remove ads no? Where is it $100?

Update: nevermind I see it here for sync ultra

This one triggers the entire spectrum of human emotion.

Does it support syncing photos from your phone? That's the only thing I need to get off Google Photos, I love how seamless it is.

I didn't realize how broken SearX was until I switched to SearXNG.

Does this game suffer from the alpha gamer?

Just... make... it... fun and I'll play and don't make me sign up for a service or give away my data.

Likely because the apps need access to the host and the policies were likely blocking it since it's non-interactive.

You can secure your tunnels using the Access menu and then adding an application. It should be somewhat straight-forward but you're basically looking to create an access policy and then adding the rules you want. For example a simple one is to add an allow rule for certain emails. When you enter your email an access code will be sent to you before you can access the application resource. That's just one of many ways to secure it using their application config and access policies.

If you're comfortable with using Cloudflare, you can use their zero trust tunneling and setup an application layer that adds auth to those services. I have mine protected by my GitHub login.

Python is not very good at this. TypeScript with prettier will very often add missing commas or semi colons for me. I never have to worry about whitespace before the formatter comes into play.

Python's whitespacing felt nice in the days when there wasn't a ton of tooling around auto formatting but now it feels like a burden.

That's for idiots who don't look at the amount of interest they are paying... but sure, the monthly is lower.

I went the unmedicated route. I read a book that changed everything for me and taught me to think differently about my anxiety. It basically destigmatizes the idea that anxiety is a bad thing which actually made my anxiety return to manageable levels. Eventually I stopped worrying about my anxiety and things just kept getting better and better. Every now and then I'll have a bout where I'm more anxious but I'll just remember that it's normal and it never escalates beyond that. I feel like I have a healthy perspective about anxiety now.

Check out the book Dare and see if it clicks with you.

I just tried arctic char for the first time because they were out of salmon and I actually prefer it to salmon now.

I've got acronyms!

No apologies needed! Cheers!

Are you comfortable in command line? There's psql or there's https://www.pgadmin.org/

Oh yeah, not meaning to hate on your suggestion, just giving a fair warning to those who are looking to take the plunge. I consider myself advanced and librewolf drove me crazy for a few days but stuck with it and found a balance of settings that I like.

The biggest example of this is YouTube. Sometimes it runs fine but sometimes videos just don't load or freeze.

The default settings of librewolf would drive the average user crazy. I'm not a fan of Firefox and use Librewolf myself but Firefox has sensible defaults for an average user that would be a net positive coming from Chrome. Just an FYI thinking of making the switch.

For additional context of those curious, Librewolf is very hardened by default. When you close your browser all site data is wiped (this can be turned off). Most people don't mess with their browser settings though... there's also a lot of little things that are disabled by default that will make people think the browser is broken e.g. canvas requests are silently denied by default, it's just not realistic for most people to use librewolf.

I closed my laptop when it asked for the Wordle of the day.

Have you tried logging in with a simple postgres client?

Damn just when I was about to try it out. Is there another game engine that's open source and simple to use for beginners?

Look under the Zero Trust category and then once there you'll see another menu item called Access. There you'll find Tunnels, in addition to Tunnels you can add an Application in the same Access menu to create policies that only allow certain clients to connect.

If you only need public access to things like HTTP or SSH you don’t necessarily need to run dynamic ip and just setup Cloudflare Tunnels. So far I haven’t needed to put anything public that doesn’t run on the provided tunnels.

This is how I got a career in Software Engineering, literally had a strong motivation to build a clan website for my Counter-Strike 1.6 crew and I just ended up learning by maintaining self-hosted websites, forums, and voip. Kept doing it over and over by building other projects and then realized people pay for this skill...
