I did it for 3 months. I really enjoyed my time doing it and learned a lot about my usage. It was a cheap $50 experiment. After I went back to my smartphone, I uninstalled ALL social media apps. Turned off ALL notifications but left calls and messages as an exception. My smartphone is now essentially a feature phone. It's not 100% the same since the big screen does lure you in to use it but my usage is still way down and because I don't have any social media there's no reason for me to be on my phone around other people. I wholeheartedly recommend trying it for those curious.
There's this fast food fried chicken chain called Raising Canes, used to serve massive strips. Now the price is 50% more expensive and 50% less chicken. They're extremely tiny, never going back again... yet all the zombies who love that place are relentlessly spending their money there anyway.
Edit: grammar
Can this work with the "off the shelf" mesh routers.
There's so many services where I'm like, wow what am I even paying for? Email is one where I know exactly what I'm paying for.
Just... make... it... fun and I'll play and don't make me sign up for a service or give away my data.
You can secure your tunnels using the Access menu and then adding an application. It should be somewhat straight-forward but you're basically looking to create an access policy and then adding the rules you want. For example a simple one is to add an allow rule for certain emails. When you enter your email an access code will be sent to you before you can access the application resource. That's just one of many ways to secure it using their application config and access policies.
I went the unmedicated route. I read a book that changed everything for me and taught me to think differently about my anxiety. It basically destigmatizes the idea that anxiety is a bad thing which actually made my anxiety return to manageable levels. Eventually I stopped worrying about my anxiety and things just kept getting better and better. Every now and then I'll have a bout where I'm more anxious but I'll just remember that it's normal and it never escalates beyond that. I feel like I have a healthy perspective about anxiety now.
Check out the book Dare and see if it clicks with you.
I just tried arctic char for the first time because they were out of salmon and I actually prefer it to salmon now.
The biggest example of this is YouTube. Sometimes it runs fine but sometimes videos just don't load or freeze.
The default settings of librewolf would drive the average user crazy. I'm not a fan of Firefox and use Librewolf myself but Firefox has sensible defaults for an average user that would be a net positive coming from Chrome. Just an FYI thinking of making the switch.
For additional context of those curious, Librewolf is very hardened by default. When you close your browser all site data is wiped (this can be turned off). Most people don't mess with their browser settings though... there's also a lot of little things that are disabled by default that will make people think the browser is broken e.g. canvas requests are silently denied by default, it's just not realistic for most people to use librewolf.
Damn just when I was about to try it out. Is there another game engine that's open source and simple to use for beginners?
I did it for a few months and really enjoyed it. At the end of 3 months, I realized I could achieve nearly the same thing by turning off all notifications except messages and calls and uninstalling all social media. I realized... if I have the willpower to use a dumbphone I have the willpower to keep the distraction off my smartphone. Phone usage is now 100% intentional with the right setup.
