My grandma quit using a program that basically attempted to break your habits.

She did things like:

-if you normally have a smoke break at noon, wait til 12:30. Tomorrow do it at 11:30 instead

-If you normally use a lighter, switch to matches, tomorrow use a lighter.

-On Monday, Wednesday,Friday switch to a different brand of cigarettes … next week go the opposite days.

-Smoke, but every other drag put a pen in your mouth instead.

-Only allow yourself to smoke half a cigarette and then chew a stick of gum for the rest of the time you would normally smoke

-Alternate smoke breaks between smoking and chewing nicotine gum or using the patch (I don’t think she used the patch so I’m guessing on that one).

And just a lot of things like that that didn’t specifically stop you from smoking, but attempted to stop it being a mindless thing that you just do on reflex without much thought and made it so before lighting up she’d have to think about what the current rules are … at a certain point, the habit has been broken and you don’t seek it… it worked great for her. Was a 6 month or so process and then she never went back once she finished her last pack.

There was a whole program around it with those types of rules and things you’d do and time restrictions on certain days and stuff … sorry, she passed a few years back and I can’t ask her the name of the program.

Good luck! Just remember that even if you lapse, any length of time that you’re able to smoke less or stop smoking all improve your overall health! Even if you have a setback, any time that you stop is still a win!

Absolutely loved that one!

From their webpage … sounds pretty cool:

Sway is a tiling Wayland compositor and a drop-in replacement for the i3 window manager for X11. It works with your existing i3 configuration and supports most of i3’s features, plus a few extras.

Sway allows you to arrange your application windows logically, rather than spatially. Windows are arranged into a grid by default which maximizes the efficiency of your screen and can be quickly manipulated using only the keyboard.

I just installed it and it’s working pretty well.

OIDC/SSO was easy to configure and I was able to do so before even signing in. I was able to proxy it with NPM quite easily too without needing to do anything special.

The only real problem I’m seeing so far is that if you have OIDC set up, there aren’t prompts to actually use it in the Android app and Firefox extensions and it still prompts for username and password instead. I got around that by creating an API key instead, but you wouldn’t think that’d be necessary.

I even imported all my Firefox bookmarks just to see how it’d handle it and it’s struggling, haha, but I think that’s likely going to be the AI auto tagging and my poor little Ollama server that’s only got a 1060 rather than it being a Hoarder issue, but linking it to the existing Ollama server was also quite easy!

Thanks for the share OP, I’ve tried putzing with Wallabag (didn’t like that they didn’t have SSO) and Linkwarden (couldn’t get it to work with NGINX or NPM), so this was refreshing with how easy it was to get up and running!

ETA: My primary usecase for this is going to just be shoving things I want to remember to look at on it rather than sending myself links to things constantly.

Things I think could be improved, but am not (yet?) annoyed enough by to even open an issue:

1. The above mentioned OIDC issue
2. I’d like to see an auto tag for mobile [need-to-look-at or something similar] where I can later de-tag it once I’ve looked at it … maybe this is a usecase for putting it in a list instead (if that’s the case, a default list instead would be nice) … dunno, I’ll play with it more to get an actual workflow with it
3. In webui logs – right now, I don’t get much feedback on what it’s doing within the webui itself
4. Shared lists between other users on the server would be VERY nice (I saw that this has been requested already).

You’re Welcome! An extra safety measure might be to do a clone on all your repos to ensure you’ve got a local copy of them all and absolute worst case you’ll have a couple of levels of backup plans, but up until pretty recently they were pretty much the same app just re-skinned, so, I think you’ll be fine.

For me, it was literally as easy as (this is basically my upgrade process too):

`

systemctl stop gitea.service

cd /home/git/

wget https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/releases/download/v8.0.3/forgejo-8.0.3-linux-amd64

mv forgejo-* gitea

chmod +x gitea

systemctl start gitea.service

`

I did it soon after the “split up” though, but it was super easy since they were still basically the same applications.

Make backups, update the above to use your paths and the new download link you should be good to go. Mine is in a VM , so I was willing to just YOLO and give it a go since I could easily roll back.

sorry for the formatting. on my phone and did my best!

Interesting details. I’ve thought about Roku’s a few times and the app quality has always been the thing people seem to complain about, so I’ve just avoided them.

They have an ad plan and an ad-free plan for different costs. I personally couldn’t ever imagine myself paying for the privilege of watching ads (and I do pay for D+), but, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

D+ works fine for me on my old cheap Android box, my Nvidia SHIELD and our AppleTV, so I think the ‘slow and clunky’ part might be a Roku specific issue.
The app design choices though are a mess in other ways. There isn’t a ‘mark as watched’ option, so when it doesn’t mark that you watched something (which happens semi-frequently), it attempts to start you on an episode you’ve already watched and you’ve got to fast forward through it. It doesn’t have ‘continue watching’ so unless your show is brand new, you’ve gotta go through the menus to re-find the thing you’re watching. It’s “pretty” enough at first glance and looks good, but actual usability is not great at all.

Plex & Jellyfin definitely have the better experience, for sure.

Hell, emulation is a lot of what I use my switch for!

I also own all of the Switch games I play on Switch, but Nintendo digital purchases are a no-go for me since they’ll eventually turn off the servers, so I only buy physical and only play them once they’ve been ripped.

hahahahaha, in my case, I’ve been lucky that the places I’ve worked we actually have always bought the accidental damage coverage!

I also practically start the conversation with this info so I don’t get lied to initially.

if I suspect something was spilled, I always let them know that we have accidental damage coverage and things like spills are covered and that makes the truth come out a bit smoother.

Thats how I’ve done mine.

pfSense has an updater built in so that’s handled my home.mydomain.com entry for me for a long time and has handled updating duckdns too, even though it’s basically only a backup at this point.

If you’ve got a domain, no real reason to not just handle it yourself and avoid the headaches.

Same, I have a Smart3 and Max3 and both have been great! The Smart3 came first and it made me absolutely hate my other printers because it just worked without me needing to mod it or fiddle with it.

Same for me, there was a temporary sidetrek to lemmy land, but like 'bin way more and deleted that account.
