10 hour project that's interesting vs doing the laundry
This is me with selfhosting. I can manage my server for one minor issue all day but having to write kills me.
I for sure spent a solid 15 hours trying to sort out which game mods were causing a problem after adding ~50 at once..
Turned out to be the runner I was using through lutris.. just not quite right.
I can do that, sure, but cleaning cat boxes which takes all of 10 minutes? Making myself food, from the freezer? Loading the dishwasher? Nahh, can’t do those.
My download and upload bandwidth rates are not equal.
I can handle an info dump, but if you try and tell me about your day I'll fucking kill myself.
Just drop into screensaver mode. You don't actually have to retain what they say. They will enunciate keywords to remember. Just nod and think of samurai pizza cats or whatever.
Or communicate that you aren't listening. I would want to know, as the speaker, that my words are going in one ear and out the other.
