So I realized that I have never made my Music Blog Post, which was Original Planned to come out in Conjunction with the Music Page. So it's now long overdo for me to actually talk about how I manage my Music.
So recently on the Reject Convenience Forum I discovered The human.json Protocol by Beto Dealmeida. A way of conveying your Website's Content is made by a Human. And more Importantly Vouch for others that theirs are too. The way it does it is not by and complicated measure, but by a good old Trust System, which means that you trust one or multiple Pages that they are Human. And in turn they vouch for others. And the more Degrees a Page is away from the Trusted source, the less trusted it becomes.
So it has been a while since I last Posted. As you can see the website has Changed again, and to my RSS Subscribers I am very sorry for marking all my Items as New again for the 4th time.
So we completed Week 2, and it went well. There wasn't anything to Complain about really. I read a lot which I am happy about, and I was able to keep up with my Documentation, unlike last Week. But of course it wasn't Perfect, I wasn't able to get into my Projects as much as I wanted too, and I was a lot on Discord over the Week which I didn't track but still noticed. So yeah for Week 3 I am going to try to reduce my Discord Time.
Well we have reached the end of Week one, and it went well! While I did struggle with the first few Days, because I just put on myself too much of Documentation burden, once I cut back on that It was smooth sailing. But yeah as I said I had to cut back on thing, primarily the Documentation of general Computer time and Reading / Writing time. I just struggled to keep track of all them and even Differentiating between Reading and Writing in Context of Forums and Co. So I decided to cut them out and Focus on the Media Consumption. But that won't mean I won't keep an eye on it, it just means I won't have as many concrete Data Points to Compare. And this may Change again during the cumming Weeks as I will continue optimizing and Automating my Data Collection.
Because I started the Challenge as a New Year's Resolution too I had a tiny bit of the Last Week of December added on to it. So these few Days were primarily spent setting up tools and figuring out approaches for the Challenge.
I discovered this Program a long time ago, but have recently rediscovered it for the purposed of the YouTube Challenge. What it does is it runs the Background and Collects Activity on your PC with its Watchers. Technically the Watcher can collect anything, depending on the Watcher. But the Watcher I Use is AWatcher and the Firefox Watcher, so the Data It collects is Browser and Window Activity.
If you don't know what I mean with this Challenge I recommend you read my Previous Attempt on it and read Sergio's Attempt. But in short, I will Attempt to reduce my Use of YouTube, but also other Content Platforms. And disconnect in general a bit. Last Year went really well, and it caused a long-lasting effect, but I have returned to my Old Habits of watching YouTube passively again, tho way less than before.
Today I wanted to share my Current Setup to host my Website including my Webserver, Analytics and Rendering of my Site.
Servus, Today I am trying something new, a Web Journal. "But what is a Web Journal?", you might be asking. Well a Web Journal is a thing I read about Today on the Melonland Forum. It's basically the Idea of a Dream Journal but for what I did on my Computer / on the Interwebs. I found it a very fun Idea to try out and similar to what I did with YouTube Challange back in February. So I am going to try it out.
I am writing this Post because of the Facination of these two tools. So if you don't know mpv is a Video/Audio Player you primarily use inside the Terminal. It has all the Features you need, like Hardware Acceleration and Switching Audio/Subtitle Tracks. While graphical side of things the Player is very bare bones mostly hiding its features behind key binds, it is a very good tool when working a lot inside the Terminal.
So this Week marks of the End of this Challenge, but I will continue on my Journey of Media reduction. While maybe not Posting every week anymore I will continue writing about my Progress and feelings. Similar to Sérgio I also want to write a Blog post on Project I have been doing, or I want to do.
So I know this Check In is very Delayed, but it was initially written at end of Week 3, I was just busy remaking the Website, that I didn't Post it until I was done.
This Week was a bit harder. While keeping Track of my TV watching habits compared to YouTube, I was able to reduce that to. But that didn't stick well. Saturday and Sunday were especially bad, as I completely Disregarded to track them. Ending with only Estimates which even then are bad. My Assumption is, the Reason YouTube withdrawal was so small the previous week, was most likely because of the amount of TV I was watching substituting it. I also still feel quite Unproductive. I still can not Motivate me to do some Project. There is most likely another Block in the way of doing those.
So this week went pretty well. To the end of the Week it got harder, but that is unrelated to the Challenge. Most days went overall easy, but I also had an out of ordinarily Busy week. Which distracted me from YouTube. But every Day I at least once tried to access YouTube out of Habit which is terrifying that that is. Something I also noticed is the amount of TV I was Watching. For Next week I am definitely going to keep track of that. But I also got things done, that I have been putting of for a while, which was fairly nice. I also feel overall more Productive.
So I got the Idea of this Challenge by SergioEduP, and he suggested trying it myself. While January is over and we are already a week into February I am doing it a week shorter, but my Goal is to see a Permeant Improvement anyway.
