That's why I always bring a laptop with me even on a holiday. So I could hack or learn something if I got stuck at the airport. The last time I didn't bring it was when my flight was delayed twice (total 12 hours) at the Frankfurt airport.

Beautifully explained. You remind me of the first lessons when I learned meditation.

Still grinding ToTK (90 hours in). I haven't finished the main story yet even though I bought the game on the release date. I'm taking it slow and enjoy the journey.

Decision paralysis in a nutshell. If we choose something, there is always a better thing (that we think there is).

Arch, with a lightweight desktop environment. If you have time and dedication, obviously.

Thanks for the tips. In Helsinki, my friend actually just buys the disc version of PS5 and rents the discs for free in the library. We have to finish a disc in 2 weeks though (unless we can extend it).

Playstation 4. Huge money went into buying discs and digital games.

Same. I'm using betterfox and liking it so far.

The good thing is every configuration is well documented so I'm confident to make the changes myself (like enable back account sync - it's super useful but I don't know why it was disabled in the first place).

insert Thanos stone meme.

We self host an instance to share knowledge about self-hosting that instance.

Wow you're self-hosting a password manager! Don't you feel scared if something went wrong?

I'm also running Adguard as my DNS-level adblocker on my Pi 3. Feels way more content than Pihole.

Could you list some of your "stuffs" that you run on your k3s? I'm curious.

I read in "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" that Linux was not that revolutionary (it reused code and ideas from Mimix) but the collaboration of the entire talent pool from the Internet to develop the kernel is. Massively respect for Linus.

It's not that hard. I utilise Pomodoro techinque to set aside four 25m-40m sessions. Now it's just the matter of discipline. I block all distractions (emails, texting, entertainment, etc.) and coalesce them into a period of time.

Officially, it should be 7 hours a day. But normally I work 5-6 hours. The rest are wasted on distractions and context switching. But deep work (i.e. actually getting things done) is normally 2-3 hours.

I also count meetings and chatting with colleagues are actual work. Those sessions might seem superficial but the way we collaborate with others is also important.

I'm curious, what are you considering moving into?

I think that more or less relates to FOMO (fear of missing out). Some really scare to slowly digest something because he thinks he would miss the vast information out there that keeps churning indefinitely.

We keep getting shorter and shorter materials (looking at you, 15-second shorts/stories) so our attention span adapted.

Well, obvious reason: you can't edit an outdated video with easy effort. But with text you can.

But for a tech talk or demo, I'd still prefer a video than written text.

Well, bash scripts are infamous for being arcane so commenting abundantly is better than nothing.

Actually this is a good practice. If you don't know where the program is or if the source is not open, you shouldn't install blindly.
