Interesting writeup!

Today I learned about TCXO.

If anyone else are curious, that component cost about $2 per piece.

I guess that is a valid interpretation. I was thinking about tech and maths, not "everyday life".

"Life" is also a skill that needs practice.

I want to learn it all...

But what will happen is that I use my working days writing code/producing software, evenings to make dinner and be with family, and nights gaming with friends.

Weekends are for recharging.

And that is completely OK.

It is a healthy balance between getting stuff done, recovery, and enjoying life.

To avoid burnout again, I take a day or two off whenever I feel like I need some time off.

Fascinating and well written article!

ChatGPT will happily generate coloring pages.

What is the difference between this, and a LLM query like 'make a coloring page with a fluffy cat made of hearts'?

Factorio.

As a developer, I'd never thought I'd like to solve for getting off the planet, fighting monsters, building trains and tracks while trying not to pollute too much.

I haven't had any checklist for a couple of months, due to holidays and so on. Earlier I've tried various formats; post-it, small notebooks, notes, paper, trello, notes (iPhone) and keeping it in my mind.

Sometimes the tasks are too large, and will easily take days to complete, which puts me off. Sometimes the tasks are too small, and I do them there and then. Sometimes they are right-sized.

When the tasks are written down, they become 'not important' and 'I can do it later', also they are easier to stow away out of sight :).

Not to mention there are also a couple of hundred open tabs of various stuff I'd like to research... but most of them can be probably be closed.

When it's routine, I've got no problems doing stuff like making dinner, vacuuming, exercising, getting groceries and so on.

But when it comes to projects, and publishing, I feel there is no more juice left.

Thanks Rob. It's been a long time since I wrote this much for a 'human' and not for a 'machine'. I'll try to continue reviving a couple of drafts.

Thank you for noticing me :)

My interests are many, maybe too many.

In tech, I'm interested in native systems programming, at the moment with C++.

Outside of tech, I do quite a bit of "long" distance running, swimming and e-biking.

When out on a run, it leaves lot of time available for listening on podcasts, mainly technical podcasts.

At the same time, when exercising, I want to publish tidbits I've learned, do projects with raspberry pies, arduinos, make statistics over time series (power consumption, electricity price, internet usage++).

When I'm home, I'm thinking I'll do it later :).

What I'm most curious about, is how people, and I, can stay organized. All information feels like a mess :)

I believe I can do and build anything, but I'm out of juice.

Working as a consultant, but no extra energy or will to create anything outside of work.

Kids are getting bigger, and I have time.... but no will, or maybe it's just fear, to start anything.

If boredom is fun... is it boredom then?

/s

PS: the phone tried to autocorrect "boredom" to "Boston". Any truth to that? :)

Thanks.

RT-AC5300 is End of Life, but there are other wireless routers that are also EOL mentioned in your link.

https://www.asus.com/event/network/EOL-product/

It seems like RT-AC5300 is not affected, this time?

And it does seem like it's not supported by OpenWRT either?

Will OO-shutup stop this nagging?

Other two cents; when installing Windows, to skip Microsoft account creation / setting up ann internet connection, use shift-f10 to open a terminal and in the command window use the command oobe\BypassNRO.

I am Norwegian, and I use (running) shoes with ice spikes when conditions are icy, even though I'm just going to the store.

Currently I'm happy with Icebug shoes; https://icebug.com/no/shoe-finder?usage-area=running&terrain...

Does anyone know what is the equivalent for TortoiseGit in Windows?

What path should go into gitdir if the repos are at S:\Repos\ ?

I've got the same setup. SSG and free tier on Netlify. The only "free" metric is bandwidth usage.

I paid for stats for a while, but it was depressingly low. But I'm chugging along for myself, like a public notebook.

Not sure if I should publish my "blog" here or not. It's been in a hiatus the last 6-7 years due to life and because I don't "feel" qualified to publish anything.

Anyhow, lately the consensus on HN has been "some is better than none" and "hit that publish button"...

At the moment I'm transitioning from WP to Hugo, trying to retain content from the old blog to the new one. It is a joyful journey, which has lasted about 2 years give or take. It's not the top priority, but it has been chugging along.

Most of the time has ended up in tinkering with Hugo and partials/shortcodes, than to migrate and create new content.

The "new" blog is at https://studiofreya.org and the old one is at .com

The .org one will probably become .com when the perpetual tinkering is done.

Try Consent-O-Matic instead of IDCAC.

It is possible to reject consent instead of blindly accepting them with IDCAC... and also the Avast thing

I was searching for this (ironic) idea, and both DuckDuckGo and Google kept it well hidden.

I thought it was a story submitted before on HN, but it was a comment.

Now it is submitted and when I'm searching for it again, it'll be here.

The downside is you can spend 80+ hours tracking down a bug that results in a one line change (don’t ask me how I know).

We don't need to ask, we've all been there :)

I've been trying to get podman working with vscode and the docker extension for a while now...

Only to find out yesterday I had to downgrade the extension due to differences between docker and podman.

I remember changing the weight of some of the cars in the game, making Stella a 20 ton beast.

It was not fun when you played against the modded cars. I got totally crushed when I forgot to revert the changes

Is it just me, or does the site make Firefox on iOS go haywire?

It's probably because of the .xyz tld.

Your ISP may be blocking it, because it's rife with spam and other malicious activities.

Same here.

I also thought it was a new kind of bug somewhere in Alaska.

Presented with the words "bug" and "airplane", "bug" is mostly associated with the insect kind, not the software kind.

Same here.

On one side, it is "just ship it".

On the other side, "internet is so full of outdated advice".

This.

Port forwarding goes both ways.

I may, or may not, have used ssh forwarding and reversing forwarding to create a shadow IT tunnel(s) between my home and work when VPN was acting up.

Also, SOCKS proxy is very useful if you can puncture a hole home and your work requires a proxy to access the World Wide Web from the office location.

My first years as a software developer, I worked with gathering data from GPS, Glonass, BeiDou and Galileo for use in a DGNSS product. It's been a while since that time, but I remember implementing RTCM-v3 encoder and decoder, gathering signals from all around the globe, and general TCP/IP/networking to ensure high availability and so on. Oh the memories.

But the thing that taught me most about orbital mechanics, is still KSP (Kerbal Space Program).

Are there any C++-centric roles?

I seem to remember there were some previously, but I guess those has been filled?
