Thanks for the warm welcome.

Well pretty much, but I used to try and journal (like write down how the day went and how I felt) but after a few weeks I would just skip it, which meant my journal was starting to become a empty notebook dotted with filled in half pages. I then tought to work the same as you, write down quick notes and add them up but found the workload too much to start.

When I found out about interstitial journaling, it pretty much fit in with my way of thinking and the fact I can add tasks and to-do’s between it all makes for a very compelling journalling.

I use capacities.io right now, and it also allows for some easy markdown syntax so it usually looks a bit like:

08:00 - Woke up feeling rested, but not fully refreshed. Today is a big day at work and I have to get ready [ ] Prepare the desk for the new hire [ ] Take out the trash when coming home 10:12 - Met the new hire, he seems very hopefull and I hope I made a good first impression as I will be supervising him. I think I’m going to go for a lunch and … 22:00 - in bed, I should be sleeping but today is keeping me up. Overthinking again. [ ] Do more breathing exercises (for the next day)

So whenever I have a break or think about it, I just @now - write down what I think, did, will do and I can add [ ] checkboxes for to-do’s. Whenever I complete it I check it off, or at the end of the day I do a big review and check it all of. Often during slow moments I spend time cleaning up or adding more to previous days to beter convey what I meant at the moment. I find it helps me a lot to include everything, ups, downs, things I like, things I don’t like.

I also have a whatsapp bot set up with it so I can just send quick whatsapp chats to add to my journaling and clean it up later.

The reason it works for me is I think because I always have a running tasklist in my head, and every time I check my tasks means I have a break, thus time to journal. While if I actively think about journaling, in which I sometimes can get very lost, seeing my tasks reminds me of the things on hand.

It’s like a combo-deal and makes me feel more efficient, beter organized and I forget a lot less because it’s been written and reviewed multiple times.

I tend to write down postives and negatives. Otherwise I feel I get a glam’d up version of my past.

Blessed (and cursed) with a memory that can remember everything it sees, journaling helps me with my anxiety of waking up and not remembering.

Wouldn’t you change the past to be able to add even more good stuff?

New sub here after seeing it on fedigrow.

I do interstitial journaling as part of my PKM.

To answer the questions:

Would I? Even tough my mind feels a resolute “nope!”, I would say yes, such power would just be too much to not use. (Or try). I would put small experiments first to see what can, and what the consequences are of changing the past.

What would I change? I would try to alter small events that caused me great grief later on but not the big things. I feel those have made me who I am, good or bad.

What I’d rather try to do is change the timeline to skip certain parts, like fast-forwarding in a movie. Go from my ex-gf to my now wife (without the rebounds and akward flirtings).

Change which friends I would meet sooner, so I’d have more time with them. Knowing friends come and go, the ones who stay… I wish I could add years to those friendships.

Also change little habits that would improve my health down the line so I can live longer.

And maybe I would try to change my career, so I could have started where I am now but younger so I didn’t burn-out on an ex-job. I do feel the burn-out forged me, so I might leave that in.

Tl; dr i’d change nothing big, just adjust the timeline and leave out everything that didn’t change or add value to me as a person. (In a way I would Marie Kondo my past but keeling everything that made me feel, and dropping everything I’m indifferent for.)

I’ve been using https://purrse.app/ lately, it’s from a very small (one man I think) parisian dev.

Works for me and the wife, we just need a way to split costs (a bit like splitwise but without the bloat)

it is a nice concept but to me it sounds like centralized defederated media.

Considering how big sneaker culture got in my country and Nike’s covers that a lot. I am thrilled there is even a downtrend to notice. Air jordans haven’t been selling harder.

As an aside, anyone has a good recommendation to replace yeezy’s? (They where a gift, before the whole Ye bullshit)

I love the shoe, by far my favorite summer shoe. Skechers never last me, and those have been going 3 summers.

So knitted sneakers european made? Maybe not as ugly as yeezy’s. I’m dad-age, I’ll wear comfy over looks anytime but would value not looking like a clown.

Elon’s kids names already sound like robots so they’ll fit right in.

There is a way, and it might already be somewhat of a trope but you can use fruitpits to extract amygdalin which can be then refined with a homelab to a cyanide like substance. Although not pure or concentrated enough, but it could be added to food by a wife on a very long period of time and make the Victim very I’ll with fatal results.

Amygdalin is extracted from almonds or apricot kernels by boiling in ethanol; on evaporation of the solution and the addition of diethyl ether, amygdalin is precipitated as white minute crystals.

I wish you great succes in glorious city of Amsterdam!

Cool Find, wouldn’t have tought it would be a coffee thing if I saw it.

I’m fascinated by the myriad of ways there are to brew coffee, started a small-ish collection of ways. My favorite find is a vintage Mukka Express.

Damn, thanks for the suggestion. Jaune Toujour is like an artist I didn’t knew existed but was longing for.

I had for the longest time my old HP gaming pavilion 690 that hosted Proxmox and a ton of other services, Home Assistant and managed a lot myself.

Since the first day I am on board with cosmos-cloud.io, and when the standalone version dropped. I put it on baremetal on a HP elitedesk G9 they discarded from work. So free Homelab server with an intel 12th gen CPU which is just… robust. 2nvme’s and a 4Tb drive suits me just fine for Arr stack, Nextcloud, Home Assistant and some other tidbits.

One group I already avoided. Just because they are the plague of the luxury world.

The numerous brands they reduced to marketing while cutting out any quality. Forcefully taking over and shady deals.

Recently they outbid Rolex and some other luxury brands for F1, taking over nearly your whole screen.

The show Emily in Paris shows some of LVHM’s crimes but in reality there are so many more.

I like it but it’s pretty broken and seems abandoned
