This is the correct way. I wish hetzner had a storage box size between the 1TB and 5TB version though.

It's also a good way to never actually getting the ball rolling on a new hobby, and instead obsessively research what the "correct" way of doing xyz is and then be too overwhelmed by all the opinions to actually get started yourself.

I think this somewhat depends on how tech savvy the people you want to give editing access are. If they know how to handle git and write markdown, I'd go with a git repository with (for example) mkdocs and setup CI/CD to automatically deploy to Github Pages. This would be free. If they are more like the typical MS Word andy, I'd go with a self hosted instance of bookstack. You could host it for example on fly. Unfortunately bookstack does not (yet) support sqlite so you'll also need mariadb, which will make hosting it on fly slightly more expensive (but probably still far below $10), because you'll need 2 machines in total. One of which you can't scale to zero. There are probably other cloud providers where its going to be cheaper though.

My setup is simple:
- Pictures: I don't take many and rarely look at them tbh. So they just sit on my laptops NVMe
- Music: I only ever use cmus for listening to music => Therefore music is also only locally on my laptop, managed with beets
- Movies/Tv Shows: I have jellyfin running on a raspberry Pi 4. For single user use this works fine (even transcoding DVD quality works). For multi user or higher resolution transcoding this probably won't work.
- Backups: One off-site backup at a cloud storage provider using restic and one backup on a USB hdd I simply plug in every other week.
My recommendation is: Keep it as simple as possible. In the past I created the craziest setups, but it turns out that in every day life I have neither the time nor motivation to maintain that shit.

[...] script something that does this.
Theoretically this pandoc one liner already does it, but depending on the website the layouting is going to be trash.
pandoc -i 'https://the-website-your-rss-items.link.to/' -f html -t epub -o out.epub

Might not be for you if you are not a TUI person, but I like newsboat. I also use it to watch youtube and listen to podcasts (with mpv). For pdf/epub export you can probably script something that does this.

Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yaos. I was expecting a nice fantasy story with dragons and shit. But the romance part of it was just so annoying. "Oh look that dude is so hot..." at every. single. occasion. I could've known beforehand that this book is more targeted towards female readers, but sometimes I just like to go to the book store and buy a book based on the blurb. Since then I made the new rule to keep my distance to books that mention TikTok or #BookTok on the cover.

Surprised to see jellyfin here tbh. The docker image needed literally zero configuration to work perfectly for me.

Even with an ad blocker it's insufferable though. Every time a page ask me to sign up for their stupid newsletter I want to punch a hole in my screen.

I should print this out. I really think this may be a big part of the problem.

Well, yeah it sometimes does happen even if I'm not googling, but it's nowhere near as exhausting. But I feel like forcing myself to stick to methodically approaches still great advice.

Sub-brain will obey forebrain, I am not offering any choices or debate on the issue. We are standing up now and the feet are walking, the decision is final, now stfu.
I like that. Never really thought of it as a willpower thing. But yeah I think you are right.

I think you are making a good point. For private projects I do in fact programme a lot in go. Sometimes I even pull the plug on my router and use just devdocs.io to get things done. And this does make things at least a lot more bearable. Before I started the post graduate programme I'm currently in I did full stack development for a living in different projects. Usually Spring Boot + either vue, react or angular for frontend. And I 100% agree with you: Spring Boot is just madness. My personal arch enemy is Hibernate though. It's awesome when it works, but at some point it won't and then it is absolute hell. Problem is that where I live go jobs are scarce. Virtually everyone here is doing Spring Boot.

I think sometimes I do enjoy bug hunting as well, but only if I didn't write the bug myself and only if there is no research outside the editor involved. Fixing my own bugs feels like "not progressing" to me. So tell us your secret.
*This is about programming specifically, but I guess you can experience similar things with many other activities as well. So if you can even remotely relate your thoughts are very welcome.* Alright so, every time when I sit down to programme it tends to start out great, I feel relaxed and kind of looking forward to it. However, at some point there is going to be a bug in the code or some library does not work as I expect it to. I then start googling; try something out; doesn't work; google some more; try more stuff; still doesn't work. While this is of course just what coding is like, during these "google, test, repeat" sessions I tend to go faster with every iteration and at some point I am in such a rush that it feels like I hardly remember to breathe. Needless to say that this is freaking exhausting. After an hour of this my brain is just mush. Of course, the obvious solution to this is to just take a break as soon as I notice me speeding up. I will try to do this more, but sometimes it feels like I can't. This unsolved bug will sit in my mind so that I can't stop thinking about it even if I'm not at the keyboard. "It must be solved. Now". Of course it doesn't, but that's what my mind is telling me. In a few months I will probably be working as a full time dev again and until then I have to have solved this problem somehow if I want to do this any longer than a couple of years. Ideally I want programming to be a meditative experience and feel refreshed afterwards instead of completely drained. This might be illusionary, but at least I would want it to be draining more like I've been on a good run, instead of feeling like being hit by a truck. Anyways I'm wondering if any of you can relate to this and maybe has solved this in some way. Does this ever happen to you? What do you do to prevent this from happening? I appreciate any thoughts you have on this.

A friend of mine has had a Tuxedo laptop for about 6 years now. Afaik she is rather happy with it, but personally I don't like it. The fan is extremely loud, the build quality feels rather flimsy and a small 1 foot drop broke the plastic covers at the hinges. But then again, this device is like 6 years old, maybe they are better now.

Well, of course you are right. The problem is that for many people (including me) it is hard to use it in a way that actually brings value, because it is just too easy to spend hours on there without getting anything in return.
I also think that it is highly subjective what can be considered "good" or "bad" content. When it comes to educational content, I also would consider it a waste of time. Sure, if I have a real life problem and the solution happens to be described in a youtube video, there is nothing wrong with watching it. But often times I was just like "Oh, this could be useful at some point in the future" and at the end of the video I could hardly remember what it was about. I also don't think that "mindless" content is inherently bad. If it helps someone to relax, go for it. I always felt worse afterwards.
Saying youtube would be a big waste of time in general is indeed reductive, but I think for many people it actually is, because it is just not designed to be used to bring you value. The only objective is that you spend as many hours on their platform as possible.
>I lost my token – what do I do? > >If you lose your token, it may still be possible to reset your password, provided you set up a password recovery method BEFOREHAND. If you did, then it will be possible for you to reset your password by e-mail or text message, for example, after which you can create a new password. **Doing this will also disable two-factor authentication for your account**: You will now log in using only your newly created account password and can access all features of your mailbox.org office as usual. Well, the 2FA implementation at mailbox.org is already pretty weird, but isn't it rendered completely useless by this?
