One thing I observed is that the more you keep yourself tech free (phone, internet, tv, etc), the rest of the week flows much better. I skipped my phone on Sunday and just did my hobbies and the week was much MUCH more productive.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity.

TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. πŸͺ„

Deleted social media apps today. I was already done with #facebook and #instagram (took me most of 2024 to get off). I will be deleting #reddit and #youtube which are the hardest for me.
Keeping #bluesky to document my #digitalwellness journey though I have severely trimmed my feed ✌🏾

Skipping phone during breakfast was a success. Small start to #digitalwellness. Now stepping into the new week, I am fasting from #socialmedia and my phone on the work hours.

I have created work mode in my #iphone so that I only get notifications from my immediate family.

One MAJOR benefit of #digitalwellness and my #socialmediafasting was that I had some extra time on my hand. My work was completed on time, did not drag till late.
So took this opportunity to volunteer at #cat shelter.

πŸ“΅Weekly sunday report πŸ“΅:

Goal: No phone at working hours

Monday, Tuesday went perfect.

Wednesday on lunch i had an important call to make. But I also used the phone some time after.

Thursday was very bad. I had my phone with me throughout the day.

Friday was again good.

Data persistence for Amazon EC2 instance store volumes Instance store volumes are attached only at instance launch. They cannot be detached from one...

Beware! ⚠️ Data in EC2 Instance Store is temporary. Lost on stop, terminate, & many recovery scenarios. Only persists on reboot. Instance store-backed AMIs are the exception.
