Awareness is only one part of mindfulness, you already got that, which is great.

The other part is equanimity, being aware of things, but not reacting or judging.

When you practice mindfulness, try to set a time goal of how long you want to do it and stick to it no matter what. If there are suddenly loud noises, or you suddenly feel very hungry, or you suddenly remember something important for work, just stick with the time you set. It'll get easier over time.

Doing it frequently definitely helps with hyper-vigilance and being overly aware of things.

For those that don't know, this is from 'The Sad Bastard Cookbook'. It actually contains some good simple recipes when you are feeling too bad to cook.

I feel the same about multiplayer games without gated progression and LAN server hosting. (Or local/splitscreen)

These days I can't even play a multiplayer game with friends somewhere with shitty internet. And because of progression you have to force yourself to only play together, but never with different people or by yourself because then you will get ahead.

Spammers would love this feature. they'll even pay for a subscription that makes your phone automatically pick up.

In the future, actual hacking will just involve social engineering corporate ai systems ( aka prompt hijacking )

Looks a bit like mangosteen. But mangosteen is black with white fruit.

Something in the same family?

Using a language server like nixd also helps a lot with auto completing packages and options in your config.

Apparently people are also working on the nickel configuration language to address some of the nix limitations and difficulties.

notify-send 'command finished!' works pretty well

Try Readest, open source, works on android, ios, linux, etc. Has syncing of books and highlights/notes. Still in active development though.

Keepassxc for storing/managing passwords. Also supports 2FA, which is great. I can just copy my password db over to whatever device I need it. Or sync it with syncthing

I'm currently using an old charger like this:

It's great. Easy to carry with me, uses a two-pin cable so I can easily buy a cheap 2 dollar cable in the country I'm traveling. It's light, and I use a few short (30cm) cables to charge my laptop, phone and other stuff.

I would like to get another one, but it seems like they are no longer sold from the original manufacturer.

I'm searching around online, but the only alternatives I find seem to be very bulky and not easily carried with you. Or they are wall chargers, which is very inconvenient, needing 4 long cables to reach your devices, and often taking up multiple plugs because they are so bulky.

Anybody that knows if these are still sold anywhere? This one is 65W, but with GaN tech, I expected to see more of these compact chargers with the same weight and thickness outputting maybe 100W. But I can't find anything

I've been thinking about how LLMs like ChatGPT change the expectation that at any time, anywhere, you will have the information you need at your fingertips.

It seems useful to cope with some difficulties in life at the beginning. (Similarly to having a smartphone with you at all times)

But over time it seems to increase anxiety because you feel dependent on these tools to be able to handle certain situations.

Every time I avoid using these tools but instead try to use a simple notebook or just think things through in my mind (When possible of course, definitely not when overwhelmed) . I feel like my capacity to do so slightly increases in future situations.

But when using these tools, even though it's easier and requires less effort in that moment, I feel more anxious in the future. (Especially when I don't have internet connection or my battery is running low)

Does anyone else have similar experiences?

I remember something about Pop!_OS offering the option to install proprietary nvidia drivers out of the box with no issues. But in the meantime that applies to a lot of distros actually.

I personally use NixOs for gaming and it works perfectly for me.
