so, anybody who pays attention to my activity on here can see I've been less active lately, I have been having problems, that's just how it goes when living a life like this near the bottom of the economic pile. nevertheless I'm grateful for the assistance I receive and know there is room for improvement in how I cope with bullshit.
chatting with a friend about it, I had this observation: the other nice thing for me is that I've put so much work into rebuilding the system that keeps me aware of what to do, that it's all right there waiting for me after every time I fall on my face, so I can pick back up much faster and forget fewer important things (like the appointment I would've missed 2 days from now if I didn't have this in place)
...this is all built on free software and set up to be resilient and cost almost nothing to maintain, including the hidden cost of adapting to pointless change and selling out your behavioral profile if you do the same thing with Google. it took me years to get as far as I've gotten with it, and it's good to be here. big shout out to the Tasks.org guy (who'll never see this), I've sent him a few bucks in XMR lately. still planning to do a video on that app, it's a lifesaver with DavX5 and a CalDAV storage backend of one's choosing.
