Most of the stuff listed sounds like bs no one needs.
Who needs a special container for cut onion, unless you are running a food truck? Cut the onion when you need it.
Who needs a gadget to squeeze a toothpaste tube unless you have mobility issues?
Etc
It would be nice to have a simple way to block the user base too
Or run the raid 5 or 6 separately, with hardware raid or mdadm
Even for simple mirroring there's an argument to be made for running it separately from btrfs using mdadm. You do lose the benefit of btrfs being able to automatically pick the valid copy on localised corruption, but the admin tools are easier to use and more proven in a case of full disk failure, and if you run an encrypted block device you need to encrypt half as much stuff.
as long as your a minor enough criminal for no one with resources to bother tracking you down using the public data on the chain
It's all the bad idea of regular digital elections, with the additional stupid of being more public, complex and wasteful
Only the NFTs didn't do anything of the kind, unless backed up by actual legal contracts in which case the NFT was pointless, and you could just have had the legal contracts
The only reason it had a brief flash in the pan was that it was an attractive grift for speculators betting there were greater fools, and when the fools ran out so did the NFTs
The blockchain is always "gonna become crucial" in lots of things, depending on whatever looks popular at the moment, yet it never does because it is obviously a bad idea.
It's a grift, and if you're not an active grifter, you are the mark
You get pretty far with just clone, pull, add, commit, push
Not voting for Harris was indirect support for worse genocide. Choosing to stay on the couch is still a choice, and this time that choice gave us Trump
Yeah, let's blame the people actually supporting Harris for her loss. That's a great idea. Let's all just keep falling for russian psyops or stay quiet to not "divide" us again
Great plan
Well, enjoy your new president then
Not a book, but an article
What worked for me was the realisation from articles like that, that I wasn't lazy or unmotivated, just in a loop of: some reluctance to get started → distraction → feeling bad about not having started yet → distraction → feeling even worse → distraction → ...
It was pretty much an emotional management issue rather than a motivation of focus issue.
The solution wasn't to try harder, be more disciplined or structured or anything. The solution for me was to learn to identify the feeling and take a moment to go "I am feeling reluctant to start this and want to do something else. I'm feeling bad which is ok. Now I'll just get started anyway until the feeling goes away" and usually once I got going I felt a bit better
Pretty much I dissociate for a little bit, which sounds bad but it really works for me. The bad feeling for me is mostly at the start, and once I'm actually making progress, that feels good
Longer term I have learnt ways to make getting started easier
The more I do these things, the less bad feelings I have about these tasks
Everyone is different and your tools might end up looking different, but there are probably ways you can get past it
