This is absolutely my life and it can go fuck itself, think ive had about 10 new potential careers this year.
When you go off the burn though it may aswell not exist.
hello fellow ADHD homelab homie
rn I have some time off so I’m attempting to force all my random code project repos to use the same structure. Paying down the tech debt at last
Did that earlier this year. Ultimately not a huge difference at the end of the day. Decided to go back to pihole but I don’t think you can go wrong with either.
Why do those little pieces of skin keep sticking up next to my fingernails. (Not cuticles / hangnails, the skin next to the nails)
I tend to bite them and tear them off hoping they don't act like a zipper and all of me will pour out
Just clip theme as close to skin asyou can and move the heck on. No good can come from further engagement
Reminds me of this

Just embed directly ;)
Never bothered to learn how, now I know. Hopefully I will remember it too.
For the curious:

] (urltoyourpic.jpg) but in one line and without any spaces and words
I'm also too lazy to look up how to escape special characters so Sync doesn't format them to interesting other things.
Fuck this
Hang-skins
Art I make (and what tempts me to make it)
The first one reminds me of this guy from Disenchantment. https://disenchantment.fandom.com/wiki/Me-Flavored_Water_Salesman
My phone's home screen.
I'm not obsessed with it, per se. I have it dialed in and don't think about it much. But I use a special launcher and organize the app icons carefully. When I get a new app, I put time in to consider where it goes and where to shuffle things around. I'm very deliberate about the widgets I keep around. I'm proud of it and I've shared my layout and the apps I use on Facebook. So I think this counts.
Mind showing your home screen layout / config? I'm still using Nova Launcher bc I haven't liked any of the other launchers I've tried.
EBay deals and thrifting. I can spend hours just looking at different things, seeing how much of a deal it is and not buying it
Corals.
Specifically reef keeping. I will spend hours browsing coral on aquarium sites, looking to find the perfect one for my tank.
Do you have a favorite site to suggest how to get started?
I need desktop / homescreen wallpaper that is minimalist enough to not be distracting and yet is more complex than a flat color or gradient. And a single one in place will bug me after a time, so I borrowed a bunch of powerpoint tech backdrops.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy this fact about you.
Simulation theory.
It's like every few months developments happen that makes it even harder to ignore.
Ooh, care to link to any of your favorite things? I love simulation theory.
I have a few links in the community !SimulationTheory@lemmy.world
But for me personally it's the thing I mention in this comment that's most compelling. It just seems really unlikely that our world lore has something so ancient that's also so specifically discussing things tied to the emerging picture of tech. It's almost to the point of being heavy handed.
I’m obsessed with Astro Vans. I love them. I can’t get enough of them. And I own one!
This year, mostly GURPS. It's such a delightfully comprehensive TTRPG. If you can think of it, you can do it, and odds are that unless you're thinking of something really out there, it's explicitly outlined in one of the source books. Even if it is really out there, you can probably find several forum posts outlining several ways to run the mechanics.
It's not a perfect reality simulator, but it's good enough for me.
Fun fact, the original Fallout was first using GURPS before they had to invent SPECIAL.
Mhmm! They had to invent it because Steve Jackson Games wasn't terribly keen on the level of violence in Fallout.
Another fun fact, their 3e Cyberpunk supplement was so convincing that they got raided by the US Secret Service under suspicion of cyber terrorism.
Math. More specifically, ring theory
What have you done? Anymore recommendations? This might become a new obsession.😂
A lot of things. But specifically this week it's the Lemmy v0.19 upgrade. I'm going through the github release, the various posts on the various instances, gathering every info I can find.
I would watch Over the Garden Wall over and over and over which reminds me...
Well now it's Infinity Train
In the winter, tinkering with my magic decks, or becoming obsessed with a video game if one grabs me.
In the summer, riding my longboard long distances.
Painting miniatures and then playing long swooping campaign games with them. Here’s Deep Rock Galactic: the board game painted up, mid mission:
Boxes. I love boxes. Like old metal ones or decorative stash boxes. Crazy about boxes. Nice ones though. no cardboard.
Mushrooms.
They're beautiful, adorable, and delicious.
I'll never be able to hold a candle to my grandma, but planting seeds and seeing the little seedlings poke out of the soil. It's really satisfying to know that I've done something right to be able to create life.
This week? Pre 2010 screamo.
Renovating my home is a hobby of mine, but I can't stand tiny imperfections like walls that aren't perfectly smooth, surfaces that aren't exactly level, and mail-order furniture which isn't quite the same color as it was in the pictures. Usually I can get things just right eventually, but sometimes I have to recognize that doing that would be crazy (i.e. it would require spending tens of thousands of dollars to demolish and rebuild something which everyone else tells me already looks great) and then I get really upset, give up in the middle of the renovation project, and never finish it.
The funny thing is that this level of perfectionism is actually just right for the sort of programming I do at my day job, so work ends up being less stressful than my hobby.
I used to have similar perfectionist perspective in my 20s but then i look at my own skill and reflect on it, it just that i can't reach the perfect that i wanted with my skill, or the situation on hand just doesn't allow that, so right now in my 30s i just do my best and finish a renovation project without second-guessing myself too much. No one gonna scrutinise my own work in my own home other than myself, that sort of perspective change is what work for me.
It's also help when the maker that inspired me also make mistake on camera and teach others how to fix/hide it.
Trains. Specifically Japanese trains. I lived there about a decade ago and often uses the trains to get to Tokyo or malls on weekend, and have grown to be obsessed with it. From regular passenger trains to Shinkansens (bullet train).
My biggest wish is to be able to live there again. I really miss those times!
That mix up with Holly Jolly Christmas and lil Jon.
Vtubers, I follow too many and sadly end up knowing about drama too.
Roller Derby skate setups
Trains, idk what it is, I don't even like travelling by train, I'm just oddly obsessed with them...
