Bme280 is actually just as cheap if not cheaper than the dht sensors. But its a fair point trying to keep the cost down. I definitely like that philosophy, but if the quality suffers too much it’s just not worth the trouble. Keep up the good work. 😎

Those dht11 sensors are garbage tho. Best case they are wildly off on their humidity sensor. Worst case they keep breaking and shows nonsense readings. I would recommend bme280 sensor instead. If you read about them you might see people complain that they are reading too high temperatures, but in my experience its because they are misconfigured. Default settings have a very high sampling rate of multiple samples per second that heats up the sensor a tiny bit giving you the offset. Lowering the sampling rate or turn the sensor off completely in between readings gives really precise measurements on both temperatures and humidity.

It’s just the truth 😂 and they are paying me for it 😎

Awesome idea. There is actually one of those time timers at work that noone uses. I’ll steal that for my WFH days. I used to use it at work myself before I was medicated and it helped me a lot but I forgot about it completely because while at work I don’t really need it anymore now I have my meds.

I might steal this.

Memes always cheer me up

Actually i couldn’t care less about wasting company time, but also wasting my own time I could spend on enjoying stuff I care about makes me sad. The weather was nice today and instead of going outside in the sunshine and walk the dog I just wasted 3 hours watching crap YouTube

This actually does work sometimes but not every time. Especially if I’m tired. As soon as those 10 min is up i immediately shift my fokus away from anything work related. I guess sleep will help, but going to bed in a timely manner is hard when you have low will power.

I’m an automation engineer so this is literally my job. I’ve automated everything I can but since it’s my job it literally never ends.

Alarms actually does work. I use it for taking my meds and it’s working really well. I should maybe use it more for work as well. Thanks

If I do indulge in 15 min distraction i have no stop button and i keep going for multiple hours and its so bad. I can only win of i don’t ever start, but it’s so hard.

Awesome idea… But you won’t believe how good I’ve become at holding 😅

Taskception

Rule number one about taking medicin. You can absolutely decide for yourself if and how much of the medicine you want to take. If you feel bad after a dose you can just stop. If you feel 30mg is better for you just do that instead (split pills or ask your doc to give you 10mg that you can dose up and down yourself). NOONE IS FORCING YOU TO TAKE IT. If your don’t feel safe about it absolutely just don’t take them. This medication is not dangerous to quit on cold turkey (unlike some antidepressants) so do what makes for feel good and talk to your doc about trying other variations of the same meds to find the right thing.

Well all i can say is that every time my bike was stolen it was locked with a heavy duty chain, or in a locked basement, or in a locked cage-room in the basment so the thieves have no chill. My biggest mistake was probably that it wasnt locked to an immovable solid pole in the ground but you cannot always find that whereever you need to park, and a thin bikerack that is the only thing you can find in the city is so easy to cut open for thieves that they’ll cut that instead of the lock so no lock will help here either. Thieves are lazy so making it look like it’ll take hours to make the bike resellable is the only true option together with a heavy duty chain like the abus city chain x-plus

This is drastisc i know, but it works: lots of electrical tape spray paint, coffee grounds, sawdust and more spray paint. Be sure to tape/paint over all brand names and emblems so the bike looses its identity. Put random pieces of ducttape on a few cables and gear changer. Never wash it and always leave it a bit dusty. Basically make it look like garbage and not worth the effort. It should look unsellable. I did this after having 3 bikes stolen within a year. Now i can hopefully have it a bit longer. Protip: use foil paint /plastic dip so its technically reversible.

Hey, you are okay as you are. Thanks for sharing because that’s a really important skill to have.

You sound depressed or maybe just a moment of weaknes is flowing over you, but in any case it’s always good to talk to your doctor about it. If you don’t like your doctor get a new one. I have before stayed too long with a bad doctor and it was a revelation when I moved house and was forced to change. Having a good doctor to talk to about depression, ADHD and mental health is just so important, and a great help.

I hope you’ll feel better soon. Stay safe.

I love using Trello. Its cross platform. It really helps organising my work. I have a few boards for diferent types of work and it is so far the tool I’ve stuck with the longest compared to many othe apps and paper note books I’ve used. Its free tear plan is plenty for home use and you dont need the pro plan. I love how you can automate things you automatically move, create, color or delete tasks. If you need tips on how to get started let me know and I can show how I do it.

What’s on my USB stick you ask… A bunch of random shit I haven’t touched for 8 years so I have no idea what it is and it’s probably outdated, but I’d be damned if that usb stick is not In my keychain because “I might need it one day”

Here’s an idea. Use a mikrotik router board. They are super cheap and support VPN natively. I use wireguard but it should also support openVPN as well. Maybe more I’m not sure. The small hap series are super cheap and works great.
