A shiv

So if you’re “disconnecting” and you spend the first few days just sleeping or staring at the TV, that’s pretty understandable. You’re paying off a fair bit of “rest debt”.

This is actually a very solid point, thanks!

One suggestion: instead of regularly turning off your phone, just permanently put it in silent mode.

These days, I even set it to flight mode and vibration only for notifications, and I usually never check my phone during working hours.

I love to read but have a really hard time choosing a book over television.

Have you tried audio books or podcasts? I usually switch off my screens around two hours prior to sleep and tend to listen to podcasts and audio books until I fall asleep. Important to remember is that the voice of the narrator is super important, so make you get one that make you feel comfortable.

If your energy peaks at a particular time of day, that’s when you should plan to exercise.

This is very sound advice and I can’t believe I didn’t think of it.

I’m going to go with Leopold II of Belgium because of the atrocities this fucker unleashed upon the democratic republic of the Kongo.

Kissinger also come to mind, but he’s not been dead long enough to be brought back yet, I think I’ll leave that fucker to a generation that doesn’t get hypertension just hearing the name.

Thanks for sharing this awesome resource <3

The nostalgia is strong in this one, I love these discoveries.

Any purism product, overpriced, outdated and their hardware basically breaks when connecting it to external devices.

Actually really few instances of jerry rigging, but I do remember during my distro-hopping days where I used a binary gcc package to compile a more optimized binary of gcc. At the time, that felt pretty weird, but looking back I see why.

Honestly I got started due to curiosity and well, it turned out Linux was a rabbit hole and so down I went.

Oh sweet lord, I required therapy after installing that garbage once.

One thing that helped me to minimize my digital life was to uninstall a bunch of apps from my phone and only use my computer to check on those sites. The key here is that I’m too lazy to go get my laptop just to scroll through endless feeds and instead I do other things.

None, I subscribe to the ones I want and occasionally browse all to see if there’s anything new I want to subscribe to.

Sweet, maybe I can roll back all the way to windows XP now /s

The death penalty, because that shit is barbaric.

That is a case I had not considered, thank you for the suggestion, and thank you for the correction concerning glibc.

My reason for not using Chimera as a daily driver is because I am a developer and there are still packages I need, that require libc still. My only advice would be to look through their packages and make sure you can find the things you need in there. If not, you need to research if the package you want is available through some other source and can run with musl instead of libc.

Not so much a niche distribution, but I would like to recommend Chimera Linux, because it combines musl with BSD userland.

I’m not sure of the specifics you refer to, but it sounds a bit like walled-garden-thinking that there’s a central authority that can enforce rules. Lemmy is very different in that regard, every instance is subject to its owner/admin and as long as mods operate within what the operator finds acceptable, it goes.

We have a similar saying in my family, but it translates into break one generation at a time, meaning you allow the kids to be lazy while the parents work themselves to death. It is usually used as a dig when someone younger is lazy.
