Readit NewsI tried blocking Facebook on my phone using both the parental control option AND adding `facebook.com` to the deny list.
Somehow, the app is still chugging along totally unbothered.
On my laptop, I block undesirable websites using `/etc/hosts`. This creates friction and my lazy ass bails out most of the time from pursuing the desire to check on instagram.
On my tablet, none of the social media apps are installed.
These of course aren't bulletproof solutions but I think a little of willpower is necessary for any solution to really work.
I already cut my social apps usage to 2 hours per day, which is a huge success.
Now I want to stop myself from diving head-first into Instagram the moment I wake up. If only I can make these apps accessible only from 10am to 02pm.
Any suggestions?
(I tried parental control but it requires having only one logged-in account which I can't fulfill.)
After years of hearing about this "alternative" OS, I was horrified to discover a UI that's very close to that of Windows. It felt boring and not as thrilling as I expected.
Today, I still appreciate the courage of those who go off the beaten roads of OS Land; even those that aren't as fun as templeOS.
If you want to see how close to a non-ordinal 123456 a random generator can get, you also need to look for stuff like 923456 or 123956, etc.
Also, would 223456 be considered a closer match compared to 323456? (It shouldn't in my opinion because, again, these are non-ordinal strings).
Would you like me to register you a nicer domain name?
No, thank you. Even if you can find one (most of them seem to have been registered already, by people who didn't ask whether we actually wanted it before they applied), we're happy with the PuTTY web site being exactly where it is. It's not hard to find (just type ‘putty’ into google.com and we're the first link returned), and we don't believe the administrative hassle of moving the site would be worth the benefit.
I wonder if they changed their mind because Google ceased to be a reliable way to find them.
Nevertheless, I can't consider relying on probabilistic algorithms controlled by 3rd parties to be a wise strategy.
Also, these days, after decades of habit building and a rise in awareness about scam-related stuff, I think people expect to see the name of the project early on in the URL, not in 7th position as it is currently.
Chrome latest on Ubuntu.
Curious what will the long term impact of this be on the longtime viability of Basecamp and its sister/daughter brands.
This level of complexity would've been acceptable if this was about deploying one's own netlify type of service for personal use. Otherwise, it's just way too complicated.
I'm currently working on a Django app, complete with a database, a caching layer, a reverse-proxy, a separate API service, etc. and still much simpler to deploy than this.
