This Month’s Two Tiny Changes

Each month during 2025 we’re offering two tiny changes which may help improve your life. This month …

  1. Reduce consumption of ultra-processed food. Read the ingredients. Everything is full of emulsifiers, flavourings, colourings, humectants, stabilisers, preservatives, modified starches and sweeteners. If you don’t know what it is, you probably don’t want to eat it.
  2. Follow the “two-minute rule”. If you can complete a task in less than two minutes, do it without delay.

All these things I wanna do…

...but so many need money, energy, and some help... Moving house involves a lot of things! I've gotten the keys on July 1st last year, we moved my stuff in the weekend of the 13-14th of that month. And then... There was still so much to do... For those new to this blog, I learned in December 2023 that I was offered a small house. Totally unexpected, but exactly what I was hoping for! It was in a totally new area to me, so it meant leaving Cuijk after more than 20 years... And autism, ADHD, and changes.... Especially as I had never expected to be offered the house... I was not prepared! […]

@f @ai6yr @briankrebs I think it's less of a "#political" question but an act of #SelfDefense and #MutualDefense at this point.

Re: #TechIlliterates that are unwilling to learn, act like a "#BenevolentDictator" and enshure they can't harm themselves in the sense that they don't get #sudo or other administrative privilegues and can't do any #persistent #changes.

  • And if that means they get forced to use #Tails then that's a "necessary evil"...

After all, societies almost everywhere ban people from driving motor vehicles faster than 6 km/h by people who actively refuse to even take basic exams and classes for a #DrivingLicense.

  • And I'm convinced one can do more damage as #TechIlliterate with a #PC than a single-cylinger two-stroke engine driven motorcycle...

Observate, adapt, adjust

After several months being in the new place, I kinda have a routine. It's not ideal yet, but it works for now, and I need to find a way to make it work even better. So, I've been observing my current routine, I've been focusing on how things go now, and what I could do to make it better. Or, what I think will be better, as I won't know till I've tried. I want to go back to the schedule that I had in Cuijk, as it seemed to relax me a bit better than my current routine does. Especially when I wake up way before the alarm is set to go off, and I can't sleep anymore... I get to the gym too early, it's still too "crowded" for my linking. The roads are still busier. I get hungry earlier, making it harder to resist snacking during the day. So I needed to write out my current schedule and then see if, and how, I could make adjustments to improve it. I know that this won't be easy, as somewhere this year, I'll also need to have surgery, which means that I have at least 6 messed up weeks where I can't do anything properly at all... […]

As a result, tendencies are emerging in #society that strive for fundamental #changes and alternatives. Perhaps this is exactly the window of #opportunity we have been given to rethink and reshape our #civilization before #nature forcibly reclaims its space and before our brains and minds are so weakened that we can no longer achieve this feat and die out as a civilization. According to all current indications, this window of opportunity is only one or two generations wide.
