Granted, there are countless workout and pomodoro timers around. However, if I liked one, it still had a feature missing that I really liked from a different one. Ads and paid apps…

Too bad, I tried to buy that domain some years ago as soon as I got my first fritzbox. Back then, I did not find a registrar and did not invest much time in finding one. I am runni…

Glad you mention that, fully agree! One of my primary goals will be quality - I am a perfectionist.

Good input and compliments for your project! Sometimes, deadline for private projects are necessary and for some projects they could be completely irrelevant. Also, it is a matter …

I meant this purpose in the sense that an activity brings joy, the purpose is pleasure. Doing something while procrastinating may be enjoyable. But along with it often comes guilt …

Not sure what you mean with your comment, but 'keeping yourself busy' should not be confused with procrastinate or simply passing time. Procrastination, passing time, doing nothing…

Cool that you are seeing your progress! Improvements are an important aspect. They are simply changes to goals and the scope. In terms of finishing projects, it is crucial to defin…

Nice, congrats to your successful projects :) Good point about being happy with the results! I think this could be added to the definition of success. Some results can not be impro…

Nice article with interesting thoughts and I appreciate the quotes - but I respectfully disagree that 'finishing a personal project you’re doing just for yourself is impossible' I …

Exactly this. I have been using KDE as my only DE for over ten years, including some years for work. Previously used Windows and currently, I have been forced to use Mac for about …

Really nice work! After trying many different ones, I created my own. I use it for HIIT and Pomodoro: https://tools.adrium.dev/timer.html Features: Landscape/portrait layouts, conf…

It is irresponsible to use (let alone to hardcode) those addresses in the first place. But in any case, fortunately, software can be patched and it has been done so already in 'tri…

240/4 was reserved for future use more than 30 years ago. When is 'the future' if not now. Furthermore, reservations for 0/8, 127/8, and 224/4 seem mostly useless at this point. Al…

Hmm... Yes, but I am only aware to use it for unlocking the computer...

I have a similar experience: Some hosting providers / AS host shady stuff and I understand that VPS ranges end up on block lists quite easily. I only block AS 4134 and AS 4837, som…

I have been running my own mail server for two years on my private ISP and have less problems than expected - even with the dynamic IP address (in practice, it changes once in 6-12…

Does it really come as a surprise that apps are exploiting the clipboard? TLDR: Drag and drop sensitive stuff. If necessary, copy only part of sensitive information, enter the rest…

I just tackled that recently myself - mainly to publish my music library. Glancing over the blog post, it almost feels overengineered. Conveniently, the Chrome Bookmarks file alrea…

Used KeePass and pass in the past. KeePass is nice, but has much more features than I really need. I wanted something lighter and simpler, so I migrated to pass in 2015. Even thoug…
