There is no trick. This will require active repragramming from you for months.

I couldn’t find a quit method that took the fight out of my addiction. You have to want to quit more than your addiction. That’s nice but doesn’t mean much.

I found in practice, this equates to action in meeting cravings with determination. Even if you don’t really feel it. You’re used to feeling anxious/angry/sad/sorry for yourself when you can’t have a cigarette. Take back that moment, that feeling. Redefine it. It’s a battle you’re choosing, and the best thing you can do is practice fighting it.

The plus side is, the battle will change as you fight it. So you won’t get bored!

The first two weeks are the hardest.

You already know the first fight, if you’ve ever had to wait for the shops to open to buy some cigarettes or tobacco. You’ve just got to raw dog that. It’s going to suck, but it will at least suck with purpose.

After about 4 days, I started getting spiky, intense cravings that passed after about 30 mins to an hour. Several times a day.

By week two, I only struggled when I was around smokers, saw it on tv, read about it, had a drink (it’s still hard).

There was a resurgence in cravings in month two. I felt I’d earned a puff or two. This is a trap. Notice it, it’s a useful trigger to double down on deciding not to smoke

I’m now a year in off of vaping and cigarettes. It’s still sometimes hard, but mostly I don’t think about it, except to be glad I don’t need to go for a smoke. I don’t miss things at parties anymore. I don’t miss moments with my daughter. Plane rides are way easier.

Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

Having kids makes you think differently. It makes you think about longer term plans, and immediate plans. It makes you yearn for stability. It makes you more succeptible to scare tactics. It makes you less likely to rock the boat.

It made me personally accept shittier situations personally (work) for the percieved benefit of ensuring stability for my baby. You can imagine how that extrapolates across an authoritarian society.

Even knowing it would probably be fine to advocate for myself, to push for what I deserved; knowing that it was purely biology pushing me to make the choice, I still picked percieved stability. I just couldn’t bring myself risk being fired.

Counter-intuitevely, we think of parents as being primed to defend their children from any and all attacks and threats. That works monkey to monkey, but at scale, it breaks down. Being parents makes both men and women more vulnerable.

As for immediate effect: I’d be a lot easier to coerce if you had access to my family.

Edit: It also makes you busy as fuck. Ain’t nobody got time for nothin’ when they have a kid. Certainly not for uncertain outcomes, like resistance groups or political disident work

Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages

He could do with a few more.

How does that work for broadcasts from your device, designed to prompt beacons from dorman aps you might have joined before? Once you join it provides a random mac, but before then?

When my daughter was 10 months, she wriggled off the sofa and bashed her bottom lip. I rushed to pick her up to make sure she was okay, and as I did, a tiny trickle of blood welled up from her split lip.

She was perfectly fine, made loads of friends at the hospital. But in that moment, if there was a cliff next to me, I’d have jumped off of it.

If someone else hurt them, or dropped a bomb on them, the whole world wouldn’t be safe. I can’t imagine what’s that guy is feeling.

ketchup, mustard and relish, mixed in a 3:2:1 ratio is a fair faximilie of the sauce on an A&W’s Mama burger.

It’s my go to now for every burger!

And if you know how to ride without even falling off

Buster’s slightly concerned he’s about to be replaced with bookworm

Let me introduce you to an interesting theory.

My friend and I tried this with sevtech ages. Too heavy, too much, too slow.

We switched to life in the village with iris shaders, and we’re much happier!

So I’ve implemented Obsidian Git, and it works really well. The only trouble I’ve had is on iOS (I’ve got m it on android, fedora, debian and windows) where it’s bot supporting merge changes.

I’m considering moving to logseq and implementing the same.

The other alternative to self hosting is ‘SyncThing’. After I introduced my dad to obsidian, I saw how he did his synchronization with it, and it looks like a lot less overhead - fairly compelling

Happy to share some notes on my setup and his if you like

It changes up two to four days.

Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.

Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan

This is also true for UDP and ICMP connections, in case anyone reading wasn’t sure. This is how you’re able to ping stream and browse from behind your regular firewalls

Your feeds look like my feeds. I approve

No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.

Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.

DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.

In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:

I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

$1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.

I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.

Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.

48 port Ubiquiti

The lady in my ear just told me that “Bluetooth Disconnected,” but she knows I’ll be back soon.

Same. There is also a handicap rail through my sternum.
