ShadowAether, in e-reader or tablet for reading academic paper

I ended up using a vertical monitor + Zotero for note taking (allows you to highlight text and write comments). My ereader is small enough to be convenient but too small to read papers well. My tablet, I hate writing on screens and it’s also too small

Today, in what was your first video game/system you played or remember playing?

I had an off-brand pong, then got an Odyssey game console. Then got a Commodore 64 and played BC’s Quest for Tires for hours.

My first video game system that I ever bought was a NES. I got it back in 1986 I think.

Curate your feed better.

jcit878, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

for me, yes, when cycling. its a form of meditation to me and you can always back off if it gets too hard or exhausting. im working on my climbing now which is definitly challenging me but its also good for building that mental fortitude of ‘head down, just peddle dont think’. its done wonders for me mentally, as well as physically

Kalkaline, in What password manager do you recommend?
@Kalkaline@lemmy.one avatar

I use LastPass because my company pays for it, I also export to all of my browsers because LastPass doesn’t fill or save passwords right on some sites and the browser auto fill works better. Sometimes that means I have to search a bit for the right password for an account, but the system works and I haven’t had a compromised password that was my fault in a long time since I use autogenerated passwords. As always 2FA the important accounts.

przmk, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

I’ve been going to the gym 2-4 times per week for about a year now. It’s a massive chore every single time and I don’t enjoy doing it but I do it for health benefits.

For me there is no greater endorphin rush than listening to some really good bassey music and really pushing myself on a cardio machine

Rum & bass + rowing machine really got the adrenaline going for me, was actually comparable to being high for a period of time

Lifting weights is different but feels very good to see yourself in the mirror lifting something heavier than you’ve ever done before and you get addicted to chasing that feeling

I think part of the mindset is getting yourself to embrace the physical punishment and actively seek it out, couldn’t tell you exactly how to do that but for me a lot of the time knowing it’s going to be difficult will get me more excited now

momentary, in What's the hottest and coldest temperature you've ever been in?

The hottest I’ve been in was 117°F (47.2°C) when I lived in Las Vegas. Was actually slated for a 10 mile run that day, but it was mercifully cut down to 4 miles.

Coldest without windchill would be -35°F (-37°C), just a couple of winters ago. I’m surprised it’s not lower, not too far from here a city set the state record at -60°F (-51°C) not too long ago.

szlwzl, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Yes, I now love taking exercise in most ways but I came to it quite late. Today for instance, as training for a sprint triathlon I’ve decided to to, I ran to the swimming pool, swam the required distance and then ran back. It felt great to be able to do it. Some bits of my body were sore but not in a bad way, just a reflection of the fact that I worked hard and accomplished something if not done before, it feels great.

I used to play this RTS called Dune 2000 i think. It was my first ever RTS and it was mindblowing.

cmoney, in Does anyone actually enjoy working out?

Recently bought a rowing machine, gotta say I enjoy taking my frustrations from the day and putting that energy into rowing.

jagoan, in What password manager do you recommend?

If you’re comfortable around *nix stuff: pass. Open source, free forever, you can “host” it with Github private repo.

wuddupdude,

Love pass. Been using it for years. Although I’m not sure how you would get it to form fill and stuff, but I don’t need all that.

jagoan,

It has browser extension for Firefox and Chrome, iOS and Android app. On Mac it can even unlock the master password with touch id.

Personally the android app could be a lot better, although I’m not sure if it’s the app problem or just how Android handles password input from another app that needs fixing.

I recently started and I fucking hate it. I need a ‘reason’ like playing a sport. So for now my motivation is my daughter. So I can keep up with her. And I’m going to try join the local soccer club next year as a carrot on a stick to aim for.
