> But I realized I have to learn when to take a break and go outside or something.
This is a big problem for me. I can force myself to step away sometimes, but more often than not I end up chasing a bug or trying to finish "just one more thing". Then I fall into a vicious cycle where I'm tired but keep going anyway -- which only makes things worse. Does anyone else have that problem? Were you able to fix it?
Do you have ADHD? Have you ever done any type of psychiatric evaluation with a professional?
I say this because I have ADHD And have had that "just one more thing..." hyperfocus until I'm practically pissing or shitting my pants.
A lot this mental health stuff is re-training yourself to break and avoid bad habits. Talk therapy is really a mental training session where your therapist gives you exercises and tips, then keeps track of your progress. So with that, you need to train yourself to break that habit. If you need someone to help motivate or remind you, ask a friend maybe.
One of the basic ways to start is setting a timer for 20-30 minutes. When that timer goes off - TAKE A BREAK! Doesn't have to be a long one, just get up and do something. Get a drink of water, go look out the window for a few minutes, use the toilet, whatever. Keep doing this. Eventually you will not need the timer and you will start to realize you are hyperfocused and need a break. I'm not perfect and still have hyperfocus stints but they aren't as long or frequent.

This is what I've been using, and it works most of the time, but I still get hyperfocus stints, as you say. I guess I have to keep at it.
Also, a longer break that includes a walk after a few 25-minute chunks is extremely impactful. When I come back from that, I am so much more effective.
Could you explain what problem you feel you're facing exactly. From my perspective I'm envious that you have enough drive that the only issue is you can't stop working, I want that so bad. Obviously i'm missing a key bit of info
Curious to hear what integration you are working on.
I am thinking about making this (1) into an integration also. It is an alternative way to visualize forecasts. It uses the dew point instead of temperature. I currently use a dashboard that shows the site on an iframe within Home Assistant.

What do you use that fits that philosophy and offers the basic functionality (NAT traversal, Magic DNS, failover relaying) TS provides?
I'm writing a minimal, educational WireGuard implementation to practice networking and cryptography: https://github.com/drio/miniwg. It's still in heavy development, but it's been a great learning experience. I've already been able to create tunnels between two miniwg instances and between miniwg and Jason's WireGuard from the Linux kernel.
Before that I wrote: https://github.com/drio/unboxing, a c/webassembly implementation of Danielle Navarro's beautiful IFS fractals.
For those using WireGuard directly: What techniques do you use to establish connections when behind network infrastructure that blocks all UDP traffic?
Unfortunately I cant find the pics of the build at the moment. It's a stock SGI 550 case so nothing special done to the case. I replaced the PIII Dual Xeon board with an Asus Threadripper board w/ 1920x CPU, 32GB ECC RAM, Radeon Pro W5700, 1TB NVMe, 10Gb NIC. Daily driver running Void Linux Musl.
The mod to the PSU was needed because the IEC inlet was practically at the edge of the PSU housing which is partly obstructed by the edge of the SGI case. I could have modded the case by cutting the steel but I didn't want to cut up a unique case when the PSU is easier to replace. So I opened the supply, unscrewed the IEC inlet, de-soldered the leads from the inlet to the board then soldered in a length of 18 AWG cord. I covered the IEC inlet with a piece of 16 gauge (~1.2mm) aluminum with a 16mm hole for a cable gland and two screw holes for mounting with machine screws and nuts. The cord is secured by a metal cable gland and terminates to an in-line IEC socket. NOTE: I did replace the X and Y caps across the factory inlet with new ones I soldered to the PSU board with the cord.
For the past few weeks, I've been annotating all the references I could find in the legendary Unix magic poster: https://unixmagic.net.
I'm happy to reach this first milestone, but I'm already envisioning future iterations. My goal is to transform this into a proper celebration of Unix – a system whose elegant simplicity and powerful design principles continue to inspire me. There's something deeply satisfying about connecting with this foundational piece of computing history.
Contributions are always welcome.
Special shout-out to @abetusk for all the support and enthusiasm with the project.
