Pro tip: throw out any "norms" that don't help you.

I was taught to brush my teeth standing up, but after I became very ill and fatigued a few years ago, I dragged a chair into the bathroom and sat down.

And it's so much better. Not only do I not waste energy unnecessarily, but I don't rush through brushing my teeth, I do take the full two minutes to brush them, because I'm more comfortable and get less tired.

People look at me like I'm a weirdo when I tell people this, but seriously, find what norms you follow in your life "just because", and see how you can change them to make your life better.

the Internet is not a library. it is just computers screaming forever and hoping to be seen. the Internet is ephemeral oral tradition performed by machines. the Internet is a verb stuffed into a poorly-fitting “noun” suit

i've spent so many hours on this and i'm nowhere closer to getting it to work. is there an openvpn for dummies

i had a working openvpn setup and at one point it broke and now no matter what i do it doesn't work anymore

also the oculus was bad because the optics are such that if you move your head even a little out of alignment it gets really blurry. we tried my old google cardboard which was wayyyy better on that front (but bad for other reasons), so I assume lower FOV means more forgiving optics

was thinking of getting a FPV headset for tetra so she can still browse the internet while she's stuck in bed due to various body problems. anyone have any experience with this?

we tried using the oculus today and the assessment was "would be pretty ok if it didn't do head tracking"
