One of the main learnings in a meditative practice circles around this, and actually even more so in MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), an 8-week evidence-backed programme of approaches to life stress / pain. The common misconc

Yeh, came here to say this. I love RSS, it is such a nice balance of enabling me to keep up with stuff but under my own terms and at my own speed. It feels very much like an alive protocol to me, and more in need than ever before given the

I'm probably alone in thinking home automation is a tremendous waste of time. I think there's maybe one exception, and that's being able to switch on heating remotely, which is actually useful. The rest is IMO gratuitous nerd

Agree. Live life as you go. You could be dead tomorrow. Be in the moment, don't live for a future goal that will a) probably never happen anyway and b) is likely to kill you from stress and overwork along the way

Bugs me when people use divs to do tabular data display when there’s a perfectly excellent <table> tag. Copy pasting div based tabular data from a web page into a spreadsheet or document is made nightmarish. For layouts, sure, use f

Congratulations are indeed due, so ditto there. I have to say I have the same response - dammit, not another one - but I'm rather more interested in our complete fascination with these tools. Like - I have my note taking / knowled

The other easier option (although doesn't solve the sunshine problem..) is moving out of cities into rural areas. Very few cameras where we live in Cornwall.

I've not had any trouble moving it - in fact the folder system works perfectly. I can even point MD editing software like Obsidian at the network share I use for Dokuwiki and edit directly. Dokuwiki is clever enough to show when a file

Interesting. I use Dokuwiki but with a couple of MD extensions, so it stores and I write in MD. Works well.

Someone once told me: "square peg, round hole" as a way to remember this and it stuck ever since. Hope this helps you too :-)

Hey, glad my ramblings were of some use! Sounds like you're making a move that makes sense. We loved London when we were there but for family I think there are better places...

My context: 49y/o. Salary: we have a 2-person husband/wife micro-business so "it's complicated" but I pay us £5k GBP ($6.3k usd) p/m so that's ~$80k take-home p/a. Working hours: absolute max 40 (alth

I've taken a different angle. I work in a non-aggressive sector. It's very niche - my sector is museum technology - but I'd imagine it holds true for other non-profits. Sounds weird that I can generalise like this but I'

Yeh, agree in theory. In practice (sadly) I don't think most local groups care about privacy or security...

Really great perspective from a community point of view (if you want a good read, check out the 20-year-old "Design for communities" book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Design-Community-Derek-Powazek/dp/0...

I run a tiny (2 person) digital agency, so we don't actually have developers. I mean, we outsource lots of work. Also my sector is non-profit, so the skew on big tech is a bit different (it's less about profit and more about engag

Good advice and thoughts, thank you - much to think about!

Thanks, but I'm not sure that's either true or a connection that is always entirely valid. For starters, my use cases are often driven by my clients. I don't necessarily have the choice to "not use Google Analytics"

For me, very definitely. But. I've also turned off all search history etc so am probably shooting myself in the foot...

MBSR teacher (well, learning!) here. I would also be skeptical based purely on the sample size, but MBSR as a treatment is pretty well researched and documented. It's been around for 40+ years and there is fairly extensive supporting r

~ sigh ~ Sir, hat off to you, you seem a master at making erroneous assumptions. Needless to say: no, obviously that's not the case.

That's just not true. The reptile brain is a thing, yes, but you absolutely can counter it with practice and logic. It's comfortable to delude yourself that you have no free will in this instance but you do. When I'm not work

"Do you suppose I can go wherever I want, and do whatever I want whenever I want to?" ..no, and I didn't suggest that. But you can make choices. Mobile phone use is absolutely under your control. How and where you work maybe
