    Why’d you switch from i3? If it was for Wayland support, in case you didn’t know, the Sway window manager is basically a drop-in replacement for i3, but for Wayland rather than X11. You can literally copy/paste your i3 config into ~/.config/sway/ and it will only need a few minor tweaks to get fully working!

    I just made the switch this past week. The one caveat is Polybar doesn’t work correctly with Sway, so I had to configure Waybar instead. Waybar has some cool features though, like being able to place the tray anywhere you want, so it was worth the effort to switch.

    I noticed! I appreciate it! I subscribed to cyph3rpunk@infosec.pub, but the posts aren’t loading for me for some reason :/ I checked https://infosec.pub/instances and it looks like infosec.pub is linked with waveform.social, so not sure what’s going on there.

    I’ll check back in a day or two to see if anything has changed. The sidebar makes me think that it’s a community I would greatly enjoy. I’ve been considering writing some guides on a few things cypherpunk related, and that seems like a good place to post them.

    !hardcore@waveform.social

    A community I created for the discussion of hardcore punk.

    r/hardcore is the only subreddit I miss, as it was pretty much the only subreddit with a soul. Working on rebuilding a similar community on lemmy. We’re growing, I think we’re the biggest hardcore community on Lemmy, but these lazy mfs don’t post anything lol.

    If you wanna discuss hardcore, post your band’s music, post info about a show, link to resources for finding shows, link to your band’s merch store, feel free to subscribe! I’m a big fan of the DIY mentality in music, so if you’ve got something, share it mother fucker!

    Sure! I used to hate doing the dishes and would let them pile up until I had no clean ones left, so then if I looked at the sink and saw that there were dishes I didn’t want to do, I’d do them anyways. When I wanted to stop, I’d just keep going until they were done. Even if my back started hurting and my hands were soggy, even when I was so bored I wanted to tear my eyes out, I’d just keep going until they were done.

    Making your bed is something you can do every day to build willpower. You don’t HAVE to do it, and usually probably don’t want to, but it only takes like 5 minutes and makes your living space look nice, which makes it a good exercise.

    Idk how old you are, but I’m old enough to no longer live with my parents. They’re like almost an hour away. When they call to invite me over, my knee-jerk reaction is to stay home, but I know they’re not gonna be around forever and I should see them every now and again, so I’ll force myself to go visit.

    Going to the gym, or going on runs also helps. Working out is hard, and staying consistent is even harder. Lifting weights/getting exercise is just as much a mental battle as it is a physical one. 4-5 days per week, 5 exercises per session, 3 sets of 10 reps. It’ll take about an hour to complete. There are more efficient ways to work out, but that would be a good starting point. Alternatively, run/jog for 30 min, or go on an hour long walk 5 days per week.
