I think this post is your first step, so kudos to this!, I think philosophy books help, you can read some basic philosophy, pause and write down what you think, instead of internal voice, you can make texts as a bridge between your thoughts and yourself.


Have you been checked for ADHD? I think this is a common problem for people who has ADHD, I got diagnosed in college, that's when I realized normal people don't have that much thoughts usually.


Haha yeah, diagnosed recently - almost 30


Very interesting and fun read! thanks for the post, when I saw the public restful api endpoint I immediately tried to see if I can make request just to see the "NICE TRY!" message, haha, then I kept on reading how you managed this issue.


I know that my colleague runs proxmox on this, you can do many things with it, my company is currently running proxmox and set up many vms as kubernetes nodes, I always appreciate people who set up their own lab, that colleague of mine somehow has enterprise grade storage server, nics... and many more inside his house just to have fun


I really want to try factorio, but now I usually see games as non-productive activity (that's my problem and I know it, in my defense, I've already spent way too much time gaming in college and did nothing), I wonder if factorio can make my software skill better in terms of designing and critical thinking, if that's the case, I would love to have fun and practice as well


Factorio is definitely good for your brain - it rewards focus, refactoring, problem solving, linear thinking... But yes, in the end, it's non-productive in any physical sense.

A weekend of watching movies/shorts feels way worse than a weekend growing the factory. It's definitely a step up, but the best would be to get out of the house more often besides going to the office.

One day at a time (recovering from a lot of past emotional pain).


It's a great game but if you play it you WILL get addicted. Approach it with the care you would have when trying a new recreational drug.


Non-productive activity time is a Good Thing that improves everybody's life when done in moderation. At least Factorio is generally better than drinking, doomscrolling, or gambling in terms of social responsibility.


Thanks for the writeup, very interesting and detailed! and the effort of digging through the browser code to find all this is fantastic!


It always fascinates me how people can do this!! Would there be any write ups about how this was made, I'd really appreciate this.


I feel this so bad, I used to make little software that solves my problem, now whenever I want to build anything I think about "is it going to be useful for my resume?" instead of fun things and I always quit because it then put lots of pressure on me for building "useful but not fun" projects.


I think comparing to other system vulnerability such as "if you make X library do Y thing(...10 more steps skipped), you can do RCE", this is fairly understandable for me, at least I know how it works, i guess this also means this exploit can be easily accessed?


thank you for the repo, I've been wanting to learn haskell but I didn't really know what can I build with, i might as well build some similar things like this since I've been trying to make my own blog server, now i get a chance to learn haskell and finally get up and build this.


There is also [Learn Haskell by building a blog generator](https://learn-haskell.blog/) - that might be interesting to you.
