> Matrix works almost entirely over HTTPS What do you mean, "almost"? The client-to-server API runs entirely over HTTPS port 443. The server-to-server API is also HTTPS, but on a different port, but that's not a concern for the client. Source: I'm running a small Synapse instance.
I'd imagine the 'almost' here is that VoIP defaults to using SRTP and STUN/TURN (WebRTC) rather than HTTP.
See friends, exercise, and if the issue is serious enough, do not put off seeing a psychiatrist or another health professional. Strangely enough you do not see an Ask HN: what are you doing for your T1 diabetes ? -- people will just see their doctor and inject insulin. Yet we do not treat mental health that way.
I’ve started going to Meetups (via Meetup.com) about anything vaguely interesting looking (especially the non-technical ones). I think it’s good to get out and meet new people, and talk about things which don’t involve programming or technology for a change. I’ve also stopped eating fast/oven food and started properly preparing my meals. I know very little about cooking so it’s a good learning experience (Youtube is…
Making food for oneself is such a wonderful way to spend time. It lets us focus on what we put into our bodies. It’s amazing to do this for yourself if you have time. Prepared foods are proven to be as bad for us as smoking but it’s not well publicized by the mainstream media. https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/world-health-organization...
Definitely! It's just so damn relaxing.

In addition to Facebook, I stopped consuming refined sugar/corn syrup, refined flour and coffee.
My cognitive resources are clearly increased. Now I need to stop HN, Reddit and Twitter ;)
My girlfriend is one of the least technical people I know. Spending time with her makes me almost completely forget about work.
Me too. I think asking couples how they met is a good idea to find out about friendly communities in an unfamiliar city.
Not working more than 35 hours a week, like my parents used to. Continuing my refusal to have email/slack/$other on my phone. Telling people that if they want impossible target a, then they need to let go of target b, and then walking off to let them figure shit out. Deleting people who are unable to tweet politics objectivly/first hand (ie anything other than non specialist journalists)
How are you employed? I'm doing the 43h grind (+ travel) to boost my career a bit, but plan to reduce that a lot as soon as possible :) Sadly it's a bit more difficult as a product manager. Simply being around for anything that comes up is very valuable in that position. I might need to plan the jump to consultancy some day.
So someone having issues on the system is frankly worth shit all compared to feeding/bathing/putting to bed my children.
I'm a sysadmin/sre/devop (delete as appropriate) so I do _occationally_ work out of hours. However I make it clear that I only expect to be called when there is a buisness level event (as in, if this doesn't get fixed we are going to go bankcrupt)
I am honest with my potential employer. I say I have to be back at my children's nursery by 18:00 of it'll cost one pound for every minute I'm late. Once I am home, I'm off the clock, and unless they are going to pay me _at least_ double time, I'm not ever working out of my contracted hours.
My rational is this:
In england, people have literally died for workers rights. I will not undermine other by "going above and beyond" The contract pays me for x hours, and thats what they get. Would a company expect a SaaS contract to offer 30% free funcionality? no, thats what contracts with SLAs are for. Why should employees be any different.

I spent the time to find a company that understands what its like to have a family. My wife is a doctor, so she works all hours, this means that I am looking after the kids.

Less social media, more in-person interaction
