 How a Phone Cured My Phone Addiction 
 I’ve been fighting a phone addiction for the better part of six years at this point, and only now can I proudly say that I managed to rewire my brain in such a way that I no longer reach for my phone at every free moment. All I had to do was get a new phone! Of course, it’s not just a regular smartphone, but an E…

 
 
 
 
 In my posts, I try my absolute best to always have some unique take, or at least a new perspective. I don’t see a point in writing a rephrased copy of an existing article. If I write, I want to make sure that it’s at least slightly new. I’ve been meaning to write an article about Nix ever since I started my blog, but it’s only now that I’ve finally found something…

 
 
 
 
 Title inspired by [Luke Smiths video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unqsQJaECv0&pp=ygUNbHVrZXNtaXRoIGR3bdIHCQnrCQGHKiGM7w%3D%3D) on the same subject. -->
 Out of all the window managers that I’ve tried, DWM really sticks out like the dumbest one. It has nothing built in and is virtually unusable when not patched. The real beauty of DWM is revealed after…

 
 
 
 
 I once had a conversation with a friend about the habit of short daily reading. While I greatly advocated for it, my friend was not exactly convinced. He tried doing it a few months before the conversation and found out that he retained none of the information from the book. 
 A few weeks after reading any book, you will remember only 3% of the information. In…

 
 
 
 
 Stop falling back to the easy-to-use “does it all” solutions. No matter how much you use those apps, you will never get a true state of flow in them. I find it extremely important to make sure my tools are truly mine, and work for me, not against me. 
 If you work with any type of text, learning the Vim shortcuts will not hurt you, in fact, it will…

 
 
 
 
 Get yourself bored. And I mean completely bored. No phone, no pc, not even radio or music. Nothing. Push through the struggle and the urge to go online and start scrolling a mindless feed. Forget about the existence of your phone and all the things you “need” to do on it.
I wanted to learn Hugo for many years now, so when I realized how important it is to have your own website, I already knew the right tool for the job. This website is based on a modified version of the risotto theme, which I chose because of its minimalist aesthetics and its design being inspired by a Linux terminal rice. 
 Of course, the first thing I did was change the theme to Nord and make…
What is RSS 
 Let’s ask AI: 
 
 RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is a web feed format used to publish frequently updated information, such as blog entries, news headlines, or podcasts, in a standardized format. 
 
 Yeah, that basically covers it. 
 You can think of RSS as a way to get notifications from almost any website and put them all into a nice organized feed…
I recently finished reading a book by Tiago Forte - “Building a Second Brain”. I instantly noticed the complete disregard for user privacy and security when it came to choosing the right note taking app. So here I will share some better options that actually respect you. 
 NOTE: Some of the apps are mentioned on the official website of the book, but there is no emphasis on them…
I used to think that I’m a big fan of hard copy books, but I always found it hard to pick the book up and start actually reading it. For some reason it already felt like loads of work to even physically pick up the book, let alone actually read it. 
 This completely changed when I decided to purchase an e-ink tablet as I instantly realized that personally, it’s so much better to…
