I found an auto-generated feed someone made here https://dyn.tedder.me/rss/farside/daily.xml that I use. I don't remember how I found it.

Definitely, at least in the modern day. I was surprised to see Jane Austen do it a few times in Pride and Prejudice but I don't think it had quite the same connotation back then ๐
Next they'll eliminate the stripe and put up share-the-road signs with the stick figure
Tree style tabs, which gives vertical tabs that you can arrange in a hierarchy to keep related ones together
Simple tab groups, which lets you have multiple sets of open tabs you can switch between (can you tell I have a problem with too many tabs?)
Unstick!, which when clicked removes any sticky elements, i.e. parts of the page that stay on your screen while you scroll. It's great for removing all the bars and obstructions to reading that pages like to put in your way. For some reason I have to click it twice for it to work
Read aloud, a good text to speech extension to read pages or parts of pages to you. It can be used with cloud based neural voices from Google and Amazon with some setup
Consent-o-matic, which gets rid of the cookie consent popups for you and it's configurable as to which types of cookies it will refuse or consent to for you
SponsorBlock for YouTube, which can auto skip sponsor reads and various other kinds of segments you select to be skipped
A few short months ago I would have said RES but, well ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I'm not on meds now. I didn't like adderall back when I was on that (being on adderall felt like going from the adhd being in control to the adderall being in control instead, and I'd also get amphetamine crashes every evening and weekend), and before that ritalin made my an emotional wreck. I'm able to manage better than before I was on strattera; granted I was in a hole of depression at the time and I'm not now; I do think the strattera helped me to climb out of it. All I take now is vitamins B and D and they seem to help a little with focus.
I also had trouble sleeping when I first started taking strattera. I switched to taking it around noon to 1 rather than before bed, and that seemed to deal with the issue after a few days. I didn't take it earlier than that because I drink coffee in the morning and I found that taking it within a couple hours of caffeine would give me heartburn or nausea. The intense focus lasted a few weeks and then settled down, but it was still quite helpful for the next five years or so. It eventually seemed to lose effectiveness after about five years and I'm not on it anymore. Regardless I'm in a much better place now than I was before I started it and I do think the drug can be given a good part of the credit.
I do remember having the same thought as you though, is this what it's like to be neurotypical? You just decide to do something and then do it. Wild.
One thing to look at if you're going this route is whether your router supports NAT loopback (a.k.a. NAT reflection or NAT hairpinning). This feature means that you can access your server via the external IP (and therefore via the ddns domain name) even from within your network. It's really useful for phones and laptops that might be on your home network at some times and off somewhere else at other times, so you don't have to change configurations on e.g. the Nextcloud client, or remember to type in different addresses inside and outside the network. Some routers just do this, some don't, some it's a setting you have to turn on. The router built into my ISP-supplied cable modem didn't support it so I got my own router and put the ISP one into bridge mode.
When I first learned that Reddit would be pricing out third-party apps I was angry and upset, but I still entertained the notion of maybe continuing to use old.reddit on the desktop (until they inevitably killed that). I like many of the communities there and didn't want to give them up.
But then came the AMA and the leaked memo and the crushing of the protests with threats and strongarm tactics. Everything spez wrote dripped with contempt for the community and the moderators that had made the site what it was through their unpaid labor. The message became clear: "Let the little users cry it out. They'll have their little tantrum and then they'll settle down and accept that the reality is that we can do anything we want to them and they have to just accept it. Their communities, their conversations, their culture, it all belongs to us, not to them. We have everything and they have nothing".
I'm not going back to that.
Shhh no one tell spez there's still RSS feeds
My list for my raspberry pi 4 (4 GB):
- Nextcloud (synced cloud storage, like Dropbox; it can do more with plugins but this is all I use it for)
- FreshRSS (RSS reader)
- Wallabag (read it later, like Pocket or Instapaper)
- Gitea (git project hosting like Github; admittedly I don't really use this one much)
I never stopped using RSS even when it supposedly "died". Right now I have FreshRSS running on my raspberry pi since I like subscriptions and read state to sync between my machines but don't like to depend on some company for that. I use Reeder for my iOS devices, which can sync with FreshRSS. For all folks say RSS is dead, I find a lot to fill it with. Blogs (yes I still read blogs like it's 2005), webcomics (most comics with their own site offer one, and webtoon generates them for its comics, though it looks like tapas doesn't or at least I can't find any feeds there), tech news sites, scientific journals, lemmy and mastodon generate feeds for users and communities, even YouTube still generates feeds for individual channels. There's a lot of feeds still active out there.
I ran into just this problem literally yesterday ๐ . It turns out that many Linux distros (not sure which ones exactly but I'm on fedora and it does this) will ignore the suid bit on shell scripts because apparently they're too easy to exploit for privilege escalation. Sure enough I tried it again with a c program instead of a shell script and the suid bit worked; I was able to write to a file I didn't have permission for normally. I'm not totally sure exactly which kinds of executables are allowed and which aren't; it might be binaries only.
