Today I learned about TCXO.

If anyone else are curious, that component cost about $2 per piece.

"Life" is also a skill that needs practice.

But what will happen is that I use my working days writing code/producing software, evenings to make dinner and be with family, and nights gaming with friends.

Weekends are for recharging.

And that is completely OK.

It is a healthy balance between getting stuff done, recovery, and enjoying life.

To avoid burnout again, I take a day or two off whenever I feel like I need some time off.

As a developer, I'd never thought I'd like to solve for getting off the planet, fighting monsters, building trains and tracks while trying not to pollute too much.

Sometimes the tasks are too large, and will easily take days to complete, which puts me off. Sometimes the tasks are too small, and I do them there and then. Sometimes they are right-sized.

When the tasks are written down, they become 'not important' and 'I can do it later', also they are easier to stow away out of sight :).

Not to mention there are also a couple of hundred open tabs of various stuff I'd like to research... but most of them can be probably be closed.

When it's routine, I've got no problems doing stuff like making dinner, vacuuming, exercising, getting groceries and so on.

But when it comes to projects, and publishing, I feel there is no more juice left.

Thanks Rob. It's been a long time since I wrote this much for a 'human' and not for a 'machine'. I'll try to continue reviving a couple of drafts.

My interests are many, maybe too many.

In tech, I'm interested in native systems programming, at the moment with C++.

Outside of tech, I do quite a bit of "long" distance running, swimming and e-biking.

When out on a run, it leaves lot of time available for listening on podcasts, mainly technical podcasts.

At the same time, when exercising, I want to publish tidbits I've learned, do projects with raspberry pies, arduinos, make statistics over time series (power consumption, electricity price, internet usage++).

When I'm home, I'm thinking I'll do it later :).

What I'm most curious about, is how people, and I, can stay organized. All information feels like a mess :)

Working as a consultant, but no extra energy or will to create anything outside of work.

Kids are getting bigger, and I have time.... but no will, or maybe it's just fear, to start anything.

PS: the phone tried to autocorrect "boredom" to "Boston". Any truth to that? :)

RT-AC5300 is End of Life, but there are other wireless routers that are also EOL mentioned in your link.

And it does seem like it's not supported by OpenWRT either?

Other two cents; when installing Windows, to skip Microsoft account creation / setting up ann internet connection, use shift-f10 to open a terminal and in the command window use the command oobe\BypassNRO.

Currently I'm happy with Icebug shoes; https://icebug.com/no/shoe-finder?usage-area=running&terrain...

What path should go into gitdir if the repos are at S:\Repos\ ?

I paid for stats for a while, but it was depressingly low. But I'm chugging along for myself, like a public notebook.

Anyhow, lately the consensus on HN has been "some is better than none" and "hit that publish button"...

At the moment I'm transitioning from WP to Hugo, trying to retain content from the old blog to the new one. It is a joyful journey, which has lasted about 2 years give or take. It's not the top priority, but it has been chugging along.

Most of the time has ended up in tinkering with Hugo and partials/shortcodes, than to migrate and create new content.

The "new" blog is at https://studiofreya.org and the old one is at .com

The .org one will probably become .com when the perpetual tinkering is done.

It is possible to reject consent instead of blindly accepting them with IDCAC... and also the Avast thing

I thought it was a story submitted before on HN, but it was a comment.

Now it is submitted and when I'm searching for it again, it'll be here.
