  • To things that helps no mater your skill level the tab key is your best friend and man pages are great but if those are overwhelming install the package tldr then you can use the command tldr and the command you are trying to run to give you helpful examples of how to use that command.

    Also old users don’t remember long commands if we use a command more than once. You save it to your bash alias file to create your own commands.



  • This is 100% true and well said. One tick I use with myself and tell others is think of something embarrassing or bad about yourself.

    Then come up with something embarrassing you remember about someone else you in the last 5 years. 9 times out of 10 they can’t remember anything. It shows the world is too busy reliving every mistake or rejection about themselves to even register anyone else.

    Then I turn it around can you remember the last time you told yourself you did a good job. Then ask if they remember a time someone commented them or got called for doing a good job. Normally it’s the complete 180 on answers. If we took the time to call ourselves out for being awesome more and stopped holding on to those mistakes we mad when we were 20’s or hell 10s. We would believe a lot better off.





  • Cool yeah also note it’s not like a once a day thing. You could be out and about at the grocery store. The idea is to remind yourself like set an alarm if you have to. To just pause for a moment the idea is you are trying to take in the sights , sounds, and feelings in that moment and store therm in long term memory. Internal narration helps draw a more vivid picture for long term storage. That way the year does not fly by. When you go from task to task.


  • It’s interesting you bring that up i think the star trek instance are one of the fewer instances that get federation right. They carved out their niche and stuck to it. I kind of wished we would have gotten more of them like that.

    Like the comics instance or the retro tech instance. Like you would go to the retro tech instance to the C64 community. So it would be logical how everything is broken out. Like old school forms for different subjects but they can also blend by talking to one another.

    So many just want to be generic catch all’s and it could be so much more.








  • Well good on you for your effort. I know it sounds silly but one of the things I find helpful to live more in the moment is to take a moment to describe the world around me.

    Like i am in a 10’ by 13’ room that has a bookcase on the far wall. The walls are painted light blue. I feel the slight breeze from the fan. Also describe how you are currently feeling.

    It’s really hard at first as the vocabulary for those feelings are hard to come by but it gets easier the more you practice. Most people that are on autopilot don’t feel anything so trying to describe how you feel and describing where your environment. Breaks you out of autopilot.
