@fluxusnerd we're talking everything from function signatures to editor key bindings. Could be I'm just getting too old for this s**t.

I _cannot_ retain _any_ information anymore. I don't _learn_ anything. If anything, I've developed the ability to find a piece of information that will help me _right now_. I can't recall anything. It's frustrating and I hate it.

There are days when the keyboard just feels like a couple of bricks cemented to a plank. Feels like I've never used it before. All flow gone. Fingers simply not finding the right keys. This feeling is fixed by smashing the keyboard against the wall. Repeatedly. Violently. Expensive solution.

I've been a professional programmer for 25 years. This year, I hope to learn how to program properly.

I've just switch my display setting in MacOS all the way to 'Larger Text'. It means I'm old, but I'm happy.

@Zoeswipe I haven’t played 7 Wonders in a while.

You need a hand?
Sure, take mine.
You’re not strong enough?
It’s OK, neither am I.
But we are.

we're all doing the best we can, except for me, I'm absolutely phoning it in

TFW it's 12pm and the cursor hasn't moved in your editor since 9am.

@OpinionatedGeek @mo I'm contemplating a single-user (i.e. me) homegrown (i.e. hacked together) instance. You'll get another follow if it works.

@mo Except it isn't because I refreshed that machine when I bought my new one :( Some days I depair for past me.

@mo the key for which will be on my old laptop ... which I'm booting now to check.

@mo ahhh ... that's what all those emails are about when someone joins the instance. I need to take my responsibilities a little more seriously.

@OpinionatedGeek VaultWarden is a good shout. I'll have a look at that.

@OpinionatedGeek I keep going back to an experiment I thought I’d run at some point where I’d get a group together who would agree on what protocols to use to talk to each other then each member would build their own clients. -lazy-dont-care

@d3z Running VaultWarden has been great - if you need/want a password manager, it's really good and works flawlessly (as far as I can tell) with Bitwarden clients. I run Nextcloud too, and it's handy (but slow on a Pi). Haven't felt the need to run other services (or haven't found good enough services to run). Yet.

@OpinionatedGeek I wish I had some stories. I need to start thinking about doing something taleworthy.

@OpinionatedGeek I go through periods of thinking that I should just host all my own services. Even write my own and dogfood them. Then it goes back to that lazy and caring enough thing.
