When you don’t know what to do, do nothing.

It’s okay to not stay busy.

    I'd like to make sure people understand doing nothing is doing nothing. Not scrolling on your phone. Not watching a movie. Take a moment to just sit and be there. Being bored is important for us

    Don't care about other people's opinions but when presented with facts, consider them.

    I would add to this to consider facts but context as well, facts can bring a misrepresented reality when they are presented as an argument without taking into account the whole background that produces them.

    So far nothing really but I'll offer a big one here:

    Don't let perfect be the enemy of better.

    Well, there were a few people I should have listened to earlier about defederating a certain instance.

    A bit of advice I received prompted me to change my resume and start non hunting again. Also helped with the imposter syndrome some.

    Switching from Cloudflare DNS to NextDNS.

    And probably other stuff too, but I don't remember.

    Whats the reason that made you move away from cloudflare?

    NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.

    Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it's enough for personal use.

    However, where DoT or DoH isn't available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).

    That I shouldn't even watch Danganronpa wallpapers on the web, since those can really easily spoil major parts.

    I looked up your comment history and saw the comment in question.

    Changes in the anconym may not be meaningful to you. I don't keep up on it either, to be honest. But to the people it does include, it's very meaningful. I think this is one of those "put yourself in their shoes" type things. You shouldn't be dismissive.

    I don't condone hateful replies towards you either. It doesn't help anything.

    That's the problem with these people though, they can't put themselves in others shoes. They can't see past the end of their own nose to try and understand what life is like for someone else.
