How I use Kate Editor in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] 42yeah@lemm.ee 3 points 10 hours ago

I love Kate! It’s so lightweight compared to other heavy ass IDEs. Just hook up an LSP and you’re good to go. I use it to manage 3 simultaneous HUGE projects, plus a configured build & run command for them, instead of 3 CLions. It’s just an awesome editor all around.

What was your first Linux distribution? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

Installed Ubuntu back at 2012 on my Surface. Since then, I’ve hopped to CentOS, OpenSUSE, and Fedora. For now I’ve settled on Arch Linux!

There’s also the “drill, baby, drill” during the inauguration so I don’t really think so

How to go back to the hobby projects I used to love? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee

Thanks for the detailed and informative reply. One point really resonates with me, and that is cutting half of the computer/phone time. I guess I’ll try this, and cut half the transit YouTube time to something more meaningful. Also, I’ll try adding a bit of light strolling in the evening to see if things get better.

As for the “sleep early” part, even though I really love & want to feel that 4AM absolute silence, (and I have tried that before in uni!) I’m afraid that’s pretty much impossible because we usually work to quite late. Maybe I’ll at least conserve a bit of stamina instead of using it all up, so that I will still have the ability to enjoy things when I get back from work. Although I’m not quite sure about how to do that.

Anyways, this has been very helpful. Will be bookmarking this and come back from time to time. Love that you are doing something I can’t, that 4-8AM period must be so sweet, especially if you get to witness the sunrise through the window :)

How to go back to the hobby projects I used to love? (lemm.ee)
 

I’m working now (graduated for about one year) and I find myself lack the motivation to resume or start a new hobby project. Every night I get home I am just tired and want to have some me time. It’s probably due to the work culture here, but we leave the company quite late (however, we can go to work quite late as well). I can’t really be the one to change it, esp. being a new guy and all that.

One of my coworker friend recently told me that they were just like me once, until they decided to dedicate the whole morning to personal hobby projects since we’ll be working OT anyway. The idea is very enticing but it doesn’t really sit right with me.

So in conclusion, on one hand I really want to have fun making little side hobby projects again but on the other hand I find myself too tired to do them. This extends well into Saturday and Sunday as I usually go out with friends and family during sat/sun, and then I get tired from socializing. What should I do?
