ADHD memes

This is part of why I self-host things. I have a lot of projects and project ideas, and Trello - while great for what it is - is slowly becoming enshittified, so I run a Planka instance instead. I also have a Nextcloud instance, Immich for photos, and a bunch of other things that help me stay organized. It took me a decade to figure out how to organize my homelab services and hardware, but now I have it set so all I need to do is check github/gitlab for updates and breaking changes for any particular service, log into any of my Dockge instances (all 4 of them are linked), and click the "update" button in the relevant stack. Yes, I know there are automations for that, too. One thing at a time.

This is great. I'm saving this.

This is Pinterest basically.

Set a script to automatically delete them once they're a week or two old; if it's something important, you'll copy it somewhere else.

Actually, Apple’s AI has made this pretty useful these days. It’s become yet another extension of my brain since i can now search them. But, yes, for a long time they were just more clutter. And, the benefit may still be quite marginal due to the fact that they are using energy in perpetuity as long as they are stored in the cloud. lol

In my case, I straight up forget they exist.

Tabs. I need more open tabs. Currently at 67.

This might be one of the most hurtful things here I've seen 😭

From my screenshots folder (Psycho-Pass Episode 2).

I have a Project Ideas folder that would choke an ox, as my dad used to say. The only time I ever look through it is when I'm adding something. But tbh I do find items in there that I've actually done.

Can't count the number of ideas I've lost simply because I can't remember to jot it down when it hits

You know what moment brings me true joy?

Whenever I accidentally close my main browser window but have a second window open so that the browser forgets all my open tabs.

That's when I'm able to live in bliss for a few days.

Backup your bookmarks and then delete all of them. The backup is for peace of mind "just in case I ever need one of them" (you won't)

In the immediate future, the screenshot archive becomes unmanageable.

In the long term future, it becomes the modern equivalent of what your parents and grandparents got out of keeping a scrapbook or photo album.

I've been chronically online since 1997. Going through a scrap folder which I held onto when decommissioning an old PC or phone brings back all kinds of memories. I even find that noting the changes in my meme taste can be really useful for identifying points where I've grown as a person. That, in turn, leads to reprocessing old memories and identifying ways in which I brought something to the table which facilitated some of my own bad experiences. That helps me heal.

Saving this

Ouch, this hit hard.

I just woke up and I'm being called out like this?

Jokes on you, I just keep tab groups on my phone. Only 3 groups of 500 tabs are hanging out and it's it's own overwhelming problem...

disorganized information is kinda indistinguishable from this 'entropy' stuff. it's very inconvenient. we should change that. does anyone know where to change the server settings here?

Me when I try to put all my reaction pics in one folder

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Not just screenshots. I have literally hundred thousand photos of which about 50% are neatly in the correct folders and the rest are a complete mess that I don't even want to look at. If I spent like 5 minutes each day organizing them I'd sort it out in no time but I just can't get myself doing it.

F u four calling me out like that but also thank you for validating my feelings.

Stop attacking me!

Then you forget or misremember the name of the site or idea, and it’s just lost in a sea of broken dreams.
