All I wanted was a Pepsi
Just one Pepsi
*Diet Pepsi contains sucralose, not aspertame, so I guess I'm good (for now)

I learned a long time ago to take control of my life, decide what's important to me and what's not, and plan things out including time to relax/vacation/disconnect (by which I mean everything from taking an hour break at lunchtime, to deciding to go out for a hike on Sunday, to taking a three-week snowboarding trip). The biggest problem will always be others trying to manipulate you to do things that they want you to do; you have to learn to be direct and say "no". You also have to learn to deal with "doing what is expected of you" / "doing what is socially acceptable" / "keeping up appearances"; you have to decide what you're going to do and not let these things drag you down.
Sorry... that isn't really advice, or five top-tips for organizing your schedule, or how-to-deal-with-demanding-people... its just a bit of a harsh statement to f*ckin' take control of your life and be confident in your decisions.
Walking/balancing on curbs, retaining walls, downed trees in the forest - pretty much anything.
KeePass, synced to my VPS. The key file on exists on my phone+tablet+laptops. Its biometrically authenticated on the phone+tablet - unfortunately, its just password-protected on the Debian laptop. The VPS is automatically backed-up to a completely different cloud service every other night. In the case of catastrophe on the VPS, there'd be cached copies of the vault on my devices and I can fairly easily retrieve a timestamped copy from the cloud server.
I also use a 2FA autheticator app on the phone+tablet. Its similarly biomentrically authenticated and backed-up to the VPS/Cloud.
The latest Jerboa update has been occasionally/inconsistently sorting by subscribed/old for me... but I haven't yet found a reliable way to replicate it in order to submit a bug report. Maybe this is happening to others, they're replying to old posts, and the posts are moving into "hot" because of the activity.

Oh c'mon... nothing holds a candle to Reddit. What other public forum can harrass, downplay, and degrade its contributors while 90% of them remain ignorant/uncaring of what is happening around them?
My phone was updated via the Play Store to 0.0.35 about 18 hours ago.
I have no idea if it's forced staged rollouts or if it's just the lag syncing new apps across goggle's servers globally, but it always seems to take 2-3 days for everyone to get a new update for any app in Google Play.
I'm currently using a T580 (i5-8350U). The refurb model cost me $440CAD. It has a 15.6" screen, backlit keyboard, came with a 512GB NVMe drive and 16GB of RAM. It charges with a 65 watt USB-C cable. It also has dual batteries (one is internal, the other is hot-swappable) and together give me 10-14 hours.
I've been using it for 8 months now and its been absolutely fantastic and no laggy performance or thermal issues. Zero driver issues on install. I run Debian/XFCE.
The admins have shown that they are not going to flinch so easily. If mods shut down subreddits then the admins are simply going to reassign the subreddits to more compliant mods and reopen them, and Reddit will resume operation. To casual Redditors, it will appear that the site is 'back to normal' and the interruption to their endless-scrolling-dopamine-hit is over.
The r/pics and r/gifs mods see that this is going to be a long game, so they've gone for malicious compliance. The message of dissent will continue WITHIN Reddit's walls, and the awareness campaign will continue.
The final battle will begin at the end of this month when the API is restricted and 3rd-party apps stop working. The awareness campaign will drastically redirect the casual Redditors ' anger/outrage that their favorite app no longer works from the apps' creator ("my stupid Apollo app stopped working") directly to spez.
It appears that spez thinks that Redditors will smoothly switch to the official reddit app... but I think that he drastically underestimates how resistant people are to change of any kind. It will be interesting to watch things unravel. Hopefully, this will be epic, but I suspect that it'll be more game-of-thrones.
eh... It doesn't matter, I'll probably get hit by a car anyway
