What did work was “if I can study for 20min, I will have studied enough for today.”
I’ve had mixed results with this approach. On one hand, the constant interruptions don’t work at all for me. But it’s an uphill fight to really feel like that 20 minutes (or whatever) is “enough.” I often feel like if I start, I have to finish, or else I risk not picking it back up again. It’s frustrating and makes me want to put my head through a wall.
Ayup, just couldn’t think of a witty caption so I invoked the Spirit of the Meme.
Thanks for the heads up. I don’t have any personal beef with the instance but it’s good info.
(problem with ARP tables or something)
If I had a nickel for every time clearing the ARP tables fixed something, I’d have a shitload of nickels.

I have a bunch of screws laying around somewhere, that I intentionally put in a “safe place,” that I need to reassemble my weed whacker. It’s been like 4 years.
The good news is that you’ll probably find your crochet hooks long before then. Probably.

That’s the kind of industrious thinking we need!
Not just loudest, but able to operate continuously for the full thirty minutes.
Take what someone else can use (not sell), chuck the rest in a hole in the ground in the middle of the woods.
Well that sounds perfectly horrid.
What kind of heathen downvotes CGP Grey?
I wouldn’t touch Reddit’s all with someone else’s ten foot pole. But there’s hardly any posts in my subbed feed (niche interest ghost towns for the most part), so Lemmy’s all is where the content is.
I can’t speak for everyone, but if I’m not dead in the next 30 years I’m going to be extremely disappointed.
I am also not a fan of super growly vocals. There’s a lot of stuff I love musically but the vocals put me right off. I’d listen to bands like Opeth and Beyond the Buried and Me more often if the growls weren’t present.
If you’re looking for metal with cleaner singing, I second the suggestions for Unleash the Archers and Nightwish. I can also recommend Blind Guardian, though the singer’s voice is polarizing. One of my favorite metal singers is John Bush from Armored Saint. He also did a few albums with Anthrax in the 90s.
For instrumentals, I can’t recommend much aside from guitar virtuosos like Steve Vai. Occasionally bands will release instrumental versions of their songs as B-sides, bonus discs, etc. Might be worth checking into.
I stopped once I ran out of hours. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
I think I got DSL in 2000 or 01.
