When you don’t know what to do, do nothing.

It’s okay to not stay busy.

secret301@sh.itjust.works · 22 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I'd like to make sure people understand doing nothing is doing nothing. Not scrolling on your phone. Not watching a movie. Take a moment to just sit and be there. Being bored is important for us

Was that your comment I read? I didn’t save the post. It had really good advice.

I'd say go one step further and meditate.

Get a bidet

Oh there's a few:

  • use FreeTube

  • Switch to Firefox and use uBlock

  • Toast your muesli

  • A nice list of recommended anime to watch, I'm going through it

HappySquid@feddit.ch · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Could you elaborate on "Toastyour muesli"? What do you mean? Do you put it in a pan?

Mothra@mander.xyz · 5 pts · 2y

Yes! A pan is an option. Another option is on a tray in the oven, low heat. Another option and my preferred one is add some water to make a paste, and bake as clusters.

So far nothing really but I'll offer a big one here:

Don't let perfect be the enemy of better.

Well, there were a few people I should have listened to earlier about defederating a certain instance.

It's just a podcast, no thanks

Zikeji@programming.dev · 9 pts · 2y

A bit of advice I received prompted me to change my resume and start non hunting again. Also helped with the imposter syndrome some.

Switching from Cloudflare DNS to NextDNS.

And probably other stuff too, but I don't remember.

regalia@literature.cafe · 3 pts · 2y

Nah swap to dns.adguard.com . Has all the benefits and built in ad/tracker blocking.

Sailing7@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Whats the reason that made you move away from cloudflare?

user224@lemmy.sdf.org · 1 pts · 2y

NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.

Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it's enough for personal use.

However, where DoT or DoH isn't available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).

That I shouldn't even watch Danganronpa wallpapers on the web, since those can really easily spoil major parts.

Yeah, you brought that one on yourself. Next time don’t make an ignorant and bigoted post if you don’t want to be called an ignorant bigot.

HunkyBrewster@lemm.ee · 18 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Hey now, don’t be like that. Cis people think you’re an idiot as well.

You consider that "the most hateful kind"? Internet responses, really? Toughen up buttercup. Other people can run their mouth just as much as you. Don't be so fragile.

Die mad about you bigotted shit stain.
