if I hadn't encountered the teaching of no effort

how else could I have gained this life of leisure

  • Do you use poweroff or suspend on your Linux systems? Why?

    Jump

  • No, I dislike the small rumblings too even if the fans aren't spinning that much, thanks though!

    Jump

  • I use suspend on my desktop every night at bed time. Running Pop. Could never be one of those with a 24/7 on desktop, too much noise.

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately it's still trial and error. Check out e.g Ovpn, Astrill, Mullvad though. You can always email and ask different providers as well. Though it's best it you set it up before visiting China. A HK sim through Airalo or similar also works.

    Jump

  • Yeah, I've heard Shanghai for example has zones where the GFW is much more lax?

  • It's better to pay for a VPN provider that is verified to work in China. And no, they won't kidnap you for using a VPN as some people write here. It's a non-issue just to bypass the GFW. The issue is when you write to a Chinese audience things that the CCP do not like.

  • You don't have to set up your own VPN. Many public providers work.

  • It's crazy that this is an opinion that people really have. I don't like authoritarian states and I have a lot of issues with the CCP, but this isn't true at all. Loads of native Chinese living in China uses a VPN. They don't care about it.

  • Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?

    Jump

  • They have. I don't know what people are talking about in this post. It's bypassable easily, and the CCP won't kill you for it. There are so many Chinese using aVPN themselves to bypass GFW

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

  • I run 2x 1440p monitors at 165hz and 144hz fine

  • What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves?

    Jump

  • Crazy that there's an instance about Ascendance of a Bookworm. I've just been reading this!

  • How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Great comment, agree!

  • How do you not feel overwhelmed using Mastodon?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I think I agree with you tbh

  • calibre 8.0

  • One of the worlds greatest wonders

  • Back with an update on my FOSS calorie tracker!

    Jump

  • Cool. I'm currently using MacroFactor. How does this compare?

  • If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?

    Jump

  • Yeah the Anglocentrism is super unfortunate. Speaking as an European. Though I don't really like hanging out on the internet with people from my country though lol

  • If you still use reddit, do you feel bad for doing so?

    Jump

  • Trust me, I'm trying! But still, it doesn't cover everything.

  • Multiple Lemmy Accounts?

    Jump

  • Love your nick lol

  • How do I stop thinking about how many hours there are left on the weekend?

    Jump

  • Yes, fully agreed! Yeah at the moment I need to save money, but working less, like 80% seems like a great thing. If one works 80% then one can rotate the days so every other week is a 4-day weekend. Luckily I have no co-dependants at least

    Jump

  • Thanks for the book rec but as I mentioned in other comments, I know that there won't be a job which I'll enjoy doing 8 hours a day for the rest of my life. I even enjoy my current job sometimes, but I still rather be without it if it was possible. And I've also tried different sectors already... Either way, I'll check out the book.

    How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?
