Me ranting about my YT algorithm roasting me (with good reason) In my blog.
after getting way too addicted to the videos youtube was recommending me, I felt like I had to set some boundaries with the homepage and just block all the content from loading, so I would be forced to only see videos from my subscriptions page.
Chromium browsers have a content filtering section where you can block content from loading in, so I use it to block all HTML on the homepage and the /shorts page:
which makes the page look like this:

Work just hard enough to earn your pay. Don’t go above and beyond. Don’t work unpaid overtime. Don’t let your bosses bully you into commuting to an open-plan office to do work you can do at home. Don’t buy any rhetoric about collaboration, purpose, gratitude, or community from your bosses; always assume they’re trying to manipulate you. Don’t let your bosses con you into thinking the corporate culture is a real culture. Don’t attend corporate social events after hours unless it’s your union. Rent out your intellect, but don’t sell your soul or give away your heart. You’re there to earn a living, nothing more or less. So act your wage, and reserve the best of yourself and your greatest efforts for real life, your life outside of work.

I have stopped caring about 'work' or 'jobs' or especially 'having a career' at this point. Tired of employers and their nonesense, because it's never enough for them.
What I’ve found over the years is that your bosses don’t want you to give your best effort in every part of your life. They want your job to be your passion. They want you to find meaning, purpose, and community at work. They want you to give short shrift to friends, family, hobbies, faith, and everything else that makes a life worth living.
Not only that, but even the job they want you to delude yourself to enjoying, they want you to do it their way. Don't be too different, don't be too efficient, don't write a text document to help use as a reference or anything. Bet you're just wanting to slack off and not even working, or you think you just know better than them, huh? I've never had a good relationship with a boss, ever, which is why I've given up. I would rather die a NEET than live a serf.

If I was a bachelor and didn't have expensive tastes I'd feel the same.

currently struggling with this at my new job. I want to genuinely make the websites I'm working on better, but at the same time, the target audience are people who might log in to the site a few times a month if that. So really, there's no point in overworking. Especially because now basement community is a much better use of my time because I get to do whatever I want.
My typical plan when I start at a new job is work hard in the beginning so that you can establish yourself as someone who knows what you're doing, but slowly easy off over time

just wrote this guide on everything I personally do when spinning up a new server. Looking for some feedback on it to see if I missed anything important:
