  • This has really made me lose faith in a defederated system like this.

    @Anyone: please let me know if I’m wrong about these and if there’s a solution, but as far as I can see:

    • I can’t export my account (most importantly all the posts and comments I’ve saved).
    • It’s difficult to find where a server is based.
    • Some instances seem to be solo hobby projects. I don’t want to pick another instance that is at risk of being killed.

    That’s not the point they’re making at all.

    The point is when a website password breeds needs to be changed, then it won’t conform to the system anymore. Now you need to make a new system, or remember this particular exception.

    I had a system with a number in it. Any time a password change was needed then I would add 1 to the number. I might have to try two or the times to get the password right if I’ve changed it for the third time.









  • If you’re looking for a “life hack” to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that’s really not going to happen.

    But you sound like you’re motivated to start exercising so that’s great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

    1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)

    2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)

    3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don’t sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I’m not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I’m already ready when the time comes).

    4. Add something else that’s really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I’m in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I’ll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)

    5. Make this routine (once you’re habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)

    6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn’t matter, you’ll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)

    7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)
