I’m a software engineer by day. I play games casually. I’m married with 4 kids, a dog, and 2 cats. I don’t like sand. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

    Yes, the about site needs a lot of work. The demo site is using the Lemmy frontend but Java Springboot backend. The whole intent of the first milestone release is to be a drop-in replacement for Lemmy. It’s after that where we will differentiate with things like better moderation/admin support, etc… The federation service will be built in Golang. And yeah, we need to do a lot more work on outlining what work needs to be completed in the form of issues. Those 8 for sure are things that need to be done though.

    Hi @synlogic@toot.io appreciate it, but we have no budget for paying contributors (we aren’t even covering base costs let along paying ourselves). This is an open source project where we don’t have any plans to monetize the platform itself (we might consider building things down the line that are paid add-ons, but nothing that would be essential for running your own instance self-hosted)

    I don’t know how you feel as I’ve never personally experienced losing a job, but I emphasize with what you might be going through. I’ve had friends and family that have gone through it (or going through it now). You are not your job. You are sooo much more. Losing a job may suck, but you will recover and be better from it (even if it takes time).




  • Hmm, the stack/heap approach IS interesting. I might try giving that a try.

    Re: exercise, it wasn’t what I was asking about but it’s still a good reminder. I try to take daily walks, but I could be better at other exercise in general (I paid for a sit/stand desk and always forget to adjust it to stand mode so I end up sitting all day)


  • The restaurant pagers is sheer genius. I can already envision the “why is that thing blinking? Oh yeah I need to do X” trigger. Unfortunately I doubt it would work for me because of the time predictability requirement (probably a big reason I struggle with planners in general I imagine), but still… my mind is blown on that one

    Also, to answer the question:

    • I fixed you 😊
    • I was able to make sense of activity-pub enough to start working on a federation tool
    • I got all our “memory” boxes put up either in the attic or in the garage. I know it doesn’t sound that impressive, but I’d been procrastinating on it for too long.

    ADD is not a medically valid term anymore

    Hmm, I’ve heard/read that in ADHD forums also, but this doctor used the phrase “ADD, not ADHD because you don’t meet the criteria for hyperactivity”. Perhaps they said it that way because of my age (assuming I would understand ADD vs ADHD because there was previously a distinction). I can ask for clarification at my next visit.

    I like what you are saying on the Executive Function Disorder. I know that when I used to hear “ADHD”, I used to picture a kid I knew back in high school that would literally bounce off walls when he was off his meds. That is definitely not me. I do struggle with impulsivity a little though and I would argue I have an “attention deficit” problem as I can be staring a person in their eyes as they talk yet not hear a word they are saying as my mind is somewhere else entirely. I can also struggle with paying attention in meetings as I just want to get back to some other task I was working on (no matter how important I believe the meeting to be).

    I’m 44. I’ve worked remote for a number of years and I think that’s helped me cope as I was able to break my work time up with “life” stuff when I had trouble focusing on work things. However, I’ve struggled with personal projects where I will have times that I can sit and make a ton of progress and then other times where I will stare at a computer screen or the mechanical keyboard I want to build and my brain will simple refuse to allow me to get started. I’ve found Inflow to be informative and I’ve been working with one of their coaches on implementing different tools to help with focus during work meetings, etc…
