My go to is counting backwards from 100. I typically time the counting with my breathing, and I try to slow my breathing. Most nights I’m usually out by the time I hit 80. If you find your mind wandering, try to bring your thoughts back to your Breathing. I started doing this after I had been meditating for a while, so it felt fairly natural. If you’re new to meditation, do some basic meditation training to get the idea. Most meditation trainings start with learning how to focus on your breathing.

Easy solution, just delete the Patreon app from your phone. There’s really no need for it anyway, just use the website.

Been using it since before public release. I loved the news reader mode. It was so clean and simple. The news curation algo is solid. I will miss Atifact.

Very nice, thank you.

I’m in. Looking forward to trying it out.

It literally had “meth gators”. 🙂

Termination Shock was such a good book.

I love my Synology NAS. It’s the DS920+. I’ve had it for a couple years. I upgraded the memory to 8 GB and use Portainer for a docket UI. I have 24 containers running on my NAS now, including sab, radarr, sonarr, deluge, joplin, piped/hyperpipe, youtubedl, jellyfin, pihole, and lemmy. 8gb of memory and about 45% used. Plex also runs as a native DSM package.

What did you install it on and with instructions did you use? I installed it on my Synology NAS, which took about 30 minutes using this guide. I was honestly impressed with how easy it was to install. https://mariushosting.com/how-to-install-lemmy-on-your-synology-nas/

Cats, both domestic and feral kill between 500 million and 4 billion per year. More people need to keep bells on their cats if they let them outdoors to give birds a chance.

Apple Mail on Mac and iPhone, because it’s simple and it works well.

Funny what happens when companies are driven by ego and the almighty dollar.

I knew modern console games were expensive to produce, but man, that’s some serious cheddar!

Me too!

Plex is amazing. I got a lifetime sub 12 years ago and have no regrets. Hoping they can line up some good revenue streams and keep the great development going! I also use Jellyfin, for my my questionable content. 😄

I think the reason you stated is probably the main reason for most of the hate. I’ve been a Nord user for years and have no complaints. However, I am currently considering switching to Firefox VPN because I want to financially support Firefox development and that’s one of the best ways to do it.
