Greetings Netizens!
Hello Netizens! I am still around, just a bit overwhelmed
But I want to get back to reasonable hours so I can work on personal stuff and study
I have been buried with work lately
Hello World, long time no seen
@ice it feels really good to have full control of a device. :)
Off to sleep now!
Posting from my PinePhone through command line. But I am very sleepy, so I'll post more details tomorrow...
Hello World

It is weird to realize that a good part of what people really need is other people to cheer them on.
But this is often exactly what people need, even the mighty.
If you are not a brutal critic to yourself, then you have achieved an unhealthy level of surety.
When you know someone that needs that boost... give it to them.
Be mighty for them.
Be kind.

There is no funnier activity than untangling xmas lights to put them away... #sarcasm

Hashtags can be difficult for blind people's screen readers, because the reading software may have trouble telling the words apart in the tag.
✅ You can make hashtags screen reader friendly by using "CamelCase", where each word in the tag begins with a capital letter.
For example, #DogsOfMastodon is fine but #dogsofmastodon may cause problems.

@ice I had heard of this book then forgot about it somehow. Thank you for suggesting it - I have put it in my wish-list for now (my birthday is in February).
I'll get it for myself if it doesn't come by then from a friend or relative.
@ice I am almost done transferring last year's notes, and I hadn't realised until now that I have reviewed them how useful journaling has been.
It definitely helps keeping"your eyes on the target" with short and long-term goals.
The concept of "You are the project" comes from a book on stoicism that contains daily meditations and exercises, called "The daily stoic" by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselmam. I highly recommend it.
I will definitely add it to the resources in my garden once I am done with transferring my notes.
I am glad I journaled consistently last year as it allowed me to put a lot of introspection into my next goals and in this note to myself https://garden.melyanna.net/notes/you-are-the-project.html
Sorry but I do not have it in me to start 2021 with any optimism
Got my kakebo for 2021, in 2020 it really helped me with saving money.
My workout today was very satisfying!
