Third day. Still on the reverse proxy issue. Apparently my agent changes the #nginx config, restarts nginx and then assumes that all is running fine. It’s now ME that needs to prove that nginx cannot start because of a faulty config. My #agent apologises, creates another broken config and tells me he fixed everything.
In the meantime I have spent hundreds of M #tokens (that goes fast) and still no Mastodon server. So it’s not only #unproductive it’s also very #expensive.

"There was yelling in meetings. It was emotionally charged and #unproductive". Agency officials' concerns that #Boeing could drop out of #NASA's Commercial Crew Program influenced officials' decision-making on #critical mission issues. If previous Admins had done same, #safety & public #trust would be higher," #LoriGarver said of #Isaacman's decision to release the report https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/nasa-chief-slams-boeing-agency-failures-botched-starliner-astronaut-mission-2026-02-19/

The Luxury of Being Completely Useless
Daily writing promptDescribe your most ideal day from beginning to end.View all responses I wake up without an alarm because alarms are tiny corporate whistles and today I don’t belong to anyone. No phone. No news. No checking what the world broke overnight. The sun does its thing without asking me to participate. I lie there and stare at the ceiling like it owes me money. It doesn’t. That’s fine. I don’t get up right away. Getting up implies intention. I refuse intention. I drift. […]https://ericfoltin.com/2026/02/05/the-luxury-of-being-completely-useless/

Reading Time: 3 minutes
It’s the twenty fourth today, and people who have been good will soon get things, and those who haven’t will get a lump of coal. Given enough pressure that coal could become a diamond. At such a time it’s interesting to take stock of how productive, or unproductive the year has been. One tool with which to do this is timetagger. Timetagger is either a free app, if you set it up on a local machine, or a paying app if you use a cloud services version.
What makes this app interesting is that it allows you to keep track of tasks by title, and tags. Imagine that you’re writing a blog post. You can use writing, blogging and relevant terms to make finding all time spent working on a specific topic quick and easy.
Resume
An interesting feature of this app is that if you work on a task, and then get interrupted to make coffee or for a fire drill you can pause the activity, and then return and set a second start time. You can count the same task and keywords more than once. If you have a task that you do on a regular basis this saves time.
Simple to Use
To start tracking you press play. It doesn’t matter whether you’re looking at yesterday or another day. It will automatically start “today”. You then press stop and you’re done.
At the end of the day, week, month or quarter you can see a report for specific tags in isolation, or relevant tags. It’s quick and easy to use.
So far I have tracked twenty hours but by this time next year I will have tracked several hundred. I find that by using this server based app I don’t kill the battery on my phone as fast as before. I start the timer and know precisely what I have been working on. I know by title and tags.
If you’re tracking for yourself then you can add as many tags as you want, but if you’re tracking for a client then avoid using more than one tag, unless requested to use more. I experimented with reports and you can select to see all “linux” time, but you also see secondary tags. This might look less professional if you use this app to track time spent professionally.
If you’re working as a freelancer you can use the name of a client as the tag and log the time you arrive, and the time you leave. Even if you don’t need to give a time sheet you can double check it to make sure that the hours are correct.
A To Do Variant
For a while I was playing with To Do apps. You give yourself tasks that you have to complete on a daily, weekly or other basis and you just tick that you did it. Time tracking is taking the To Do list a step further. You’re actually tracking the time that you spend on a task, daily fo weeks or months at a time. It’s important to account for the time you spent, not just what you did.
It’s a good habit to have, whether you’re being paid to track or not. If you get into this habit, in your free time it will be able to do this automatically when you can justify your hours. This app only allows you to track one activity at a time. You can start a second activity but it will pause the first. You can’t track “Time spent in the office”, and then “time spent on a sub task”, at the office.
Self Hosting vs Paid Solution
Self hosting is free but you need to configure the app, and make it accessible when you’re away from the server. With paid solution, for three francs per month you have access from anywhere.
And Finally
With this app you can track the time you spend filming an event, and then you can track the time you spend ingesting footage, logging and more. You can track the time you spend editing and then the time you spend exporting the video files. You can then track time spent on modifications. The application is highly modular and you can start and stop timers with ease, and tag tasks.
The beauty of self-hosting on your local network is that the data is private. No one can use it, other than you, and those you hand reports to. Other solutions may use AI and other tools to quantify the data you give them.
With TimeLogger you could track “learning Linux” or “Learning German”. With this you can track “learning ‘irgendwie’, ‘irgendwo’, ‘irgendwas'” and more. It’s as modular as you want it to be.

CW: TW: Broken world, injustice (BOOSTS NEEDED) 2/4
My Norway crisis made me realize one particular thing about the systems of power. Even the most civilized ones. They have no soul. But humans do. Even those who choose to lock their souls behind their badges.
This post I wrote a week after getting back from so-called vacation and it doesn’t matter how this information got to me. But matters when. Exactly in the middle of my own mental crisis.
I’m not sure if the universe got the first push right because the person I’m talking about is STILL NOT FREE
Yes, this is also a good #example of how #unproductive is #helplessness. No likes. No #boosts. I wish I could phrase it better that day. And I wish it would get half of the attention that my nudes got here.
Not trying to shame anyone btw. Just stating. I didn't know what to do at that moment either.

“What I do easily and naturally I can no longer do if I order myself to do it by strict and express command. … I do nothing without gaiety.”
That's the #NYT quoting #Montaigne to try to decide whether #lazyness and the French refusal to have minimum #retirement age moved to 64 is necessarily #unproductive ... or not.
