How did you stop smoking? What was your motivation, and how did you finally do it? in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I wanted to quit but couldn't. I read Allan carrs quit smoking book and how they described what the nicotine does did it for me.

It helped finally understanding how the addiction works, and how I was constantly just trying to get to a normal baseline of living that non smokers just lived at normally.

Ive tried vaping, gum, lozenges, cold Turkey, everything. Almost a year free from nicotine now, no regrets, not missing a damn thing.

Police are not primarily crime fighters, according to the data in c/[email protected]

Really mind blowing how few crimes are actually solved. I've had real world experience of being a robbery victim and there was absolutely no attempt at solving it.

Someone told me if you have a problem and call the police, now you have two problems.

if you tweet on Twitter, what do you do on X ? in c/[email protected]

Bitwarden or Proton Pass in c/[email protected]

This is just one of the weirder comments I've read, like what did I just read here. Lol

Bitwarden or Proton Pass in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Nah, still a great solution if you like. That was my solution for years until just about a month ago I switched to bitwarden because it seemed easier to protect with a yubikey. I've liked it so far.

I took the opportunity to export all my passwords from Firefox, chrome, and KeePass, then spent about a day cleaning the whole mess up and removing duplicates, THEN imported the csv into bitwarden. Still getting used to not using chrome/Firefox for auto filling and storing passwords, but I like that my passwords don't feel so spread out across multiple browsers/dbs.

Best alternative to selfhosting email? E.g. email hosting provider for a custom domain in c/[email protected]

I've used runbox for I don't know how many years now. They do support a catch-all, as I make up email addresses on the fly with my domain and it works just fine.

To anyone that misses Reddit Slide; I may have a present for you soon in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Slide is all I've used for so long I can't even remember different! I don't go on Reddit anymore, but I've been hesitant to actually uninstall Slide. Love to be able to use it here!

I just deleted 12 years of content. Feels weird in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Ya, you know I haven't opened reddit since the blackout started. I removed "slide" from my phones home screen.

It's kinda sad, but I'm rediscovering RSS, now I've found kbin, and Im fine. I think not mindlessly scrolling reddit after my main interests have been covered has been nice for my brain.
