I actually opened slashdot.org, first time in like 10 years, probably. Still there...

I checked in there a few months ago and regretted it. It's like while I'm now ten years older, it stayed the same age (well, those commenting).

Same, but I'm now 20 years older.

Wondered how HN might best implement mandatory offline periods during the day. I’m thinking something like it’s offline for an hour every other hour so only a total of 12 hours uptime a day.

On the off chance you haven't seen it, that's what "noprocrast" does in your profile: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

While looking up that link, TIL about what "delay" does, too, so thank you :-)

Almost the same for me. It's for sure 10 years ago, but when I do the calculation, it's 20. :'(
