I worked rotating shifts for a few years, and currently work really odd shifts for ~3 months at a time.

After the rotating shifts, and in between the odd shifts I work now, I transitioned back to a regular day cycle pretty quickly; usually within a few days.

If you can take some PTO before starting your new role, consider going to sleep shortly after sunset, and leaving the shades up so you can wake with the sun for a few days. Try not to use bright house lights in the evening, and try to not to use an alarm clock to wake up, just use the sunlight.

Doing this gives your circadian rhythm a hard reboot which makes it much easier to transition back to a more socially common day life.

Ensure you have multiple layers of ad blocking. A winning combination blocks first at the DNS level, then at the browser level, and finally at the element level.

AsGuard DNS, uBlock, and ABP.

I virtually never see ads.

This is just on the outside edge of A Clockwork Orange.

They make money on the penalty default rate. They know what the average rate of default is, and they know how many people they plan to sign up. On average they make money. The 0% is to draw large numbers of customers in knowing that some percentage will default and of that percentage they will be able to collect on yet another percentage. This is why the default rate is like 24.99% or something silly like that.

You have such a way with words.

Are you always like this, or just today?

AHAHAHAHAHAA

Best you can come up with “no, YOUR mom”

Get help.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Your mom is calling you, your tendies and hunny mussy is ready.

Good bot.

Been running AdGuard for years once mobile DNS profiles became available. Hardly see any ads, and (on the rare occasion) when I do, they’re jarring and out of place.

Not quite packet radio, but there’s a huge community for FT8 (very very limited communications bandwidth), there’s also JS8Call, but it’s sort of slow right now (on 20m at least). You might be interested in SSTV; there are various bands of activity, some on 20m (14.230Mhz and 14.233Mhz) and certainly other bands as well. The advantage of SSTV is that the more popular platforms (MMSSTV, BlackCat SSTV, and fldigi) can take audio input from your sound card and convert it to the SSTV broadcast.

Pair that up with any WebSDR and you can get nearly any broadcast within reach of your browser and the WebSDR in question.

This is what notification profiles were built for. Set it to work/school/whatever and select who you want to get through and notifications are delivered, all else are silenced.

I even have one called “Blackout”. Nothing gets through, no one is approved, everything is silenced—for when I absolutely must not be disturbed.

I would be willing to bet Buckminster Fuller probably tried it.

It’s a delightful image, I love the texture, and the the technique is innovative.

Here go the price of eggs again.

I can imagine a focused lens projecting onto a white sheet on the scanner bed, then scanned. Pretty neat imo

Thank you! haha, this situation was resolved ages ago, I appreciate you tho

Best I can do.

FaxSalad. I also have needed to send a fax when I have virtually zero paper, or even when I do have paper I still have no fax machine.

You can even send it as HIPAA-compliant which they don’t (or are not supposed to) keep a server-side copy.

Computing without databases is like going into a grocery store and all of the items are in one great pile. Sure, given enough time (CPU) and resources (RAM) you could find what you’re looking for, but it’s horribly inefficient.

Instead, things which are similar are grouped together, like the baking aisle (tables) and if you have to get most of the items for a cake, you know it’s on a specific shelf.
