  • I spent about 4 years traveling the world working remotely, as a digital nomad you might say. Before the name was popular

    Put things I didn’t want to throw away into long-term storage. Had a laptop. Flew from place to place. The most important thing was securing a good internet connection in a place. If I couldn’t get a good connection move on to another place, or back to a known good place.

    Libraries, coffee shops, hotels, co-working spaces, all viable options for internet requirements.

    Mail digitized through a mailbox service, and emailed to me.

    Google voice for an international phone number that just needed internet connection

    The day to day living was pretty cool. You could stay in a place as long as you want, you could leave as quick as you want. Finding people was fun. Sometimes you weren’t sure about where you would be, could you book the hotel for more time? If you couldn’t you had to find the next place. So you always had a plan of where you are, and where you want to go next.









  • I know you’re being extremely sarcastic. But identifying you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Knowing you are a way that you don’t like being, is great, now you can form a plan on improving it.

    Let’s take the easy example, if you know you’re a very negative person always putting people down. You can deliberately try to find something nice to say everyday. Maybe not a lot, maybe it won’t change the trend, but being more mindful and having an objective is a way to improve. So yes flip the switch. The switch will be very rusty, it’ll require a lot of elbow grease, and you’re probably going to have to wiggle it a bunch. But flip the switch, because you want to flip the switch.

    If you just decide, I’m an asshole and there’s nothing I can do about it, then you’re just going to be an asshole. But if you’re trying to be a reformed asshole, you’re an asshole with a heart of gold



  • Reminds me of bash.org RIP https://bash-org-archive.com/?top

    • “Where ever you go, there you are”
    • “We have just enough fuel to make it to the crash site”
    • “Ruh-Rouh”
    • “Deny, Deny, Deny - Until you believe!”
    • “A Rule without Enforcement is just wishful thinking”
    • “When life gives you lemons- BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD”
    • “Ignoring a alert is the same as normalizing alerts, if it’s important, don’t ignore it, if it’s not important don’t alert for it”
    • “Follow the money” - Gripping Hand I think
    • “Premature optimization is the root of all evil” - Knuth maybe
    • “Once you know something is possible, doing it becomes a exercise in persistence.”
    • “Science isn’t what other people say, its what YOU can observe”





  • Immediately and constantly apply updates.

    Very, very, rarely have I ever had to roll anything back. Newpipe I rolled back once.

    — After some thinking

    • MacOS - Minor changes Number.minor I update ASAP, Major Changes Number+1.1… I wait until Number+1.3… Apple has a history of breaking the ecosystem on major changes, give them a month or two to sort it out
