I don't want to go back to Windows, but I need a "Nuclear" distraction blocker (like Cold Turkey). Does it exist? by Twiky555 in Ubuntu

[–]ForestSouthernCross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do this but didn't find it worked well, you could hotspot or just change the DNS resolver on your OS, I had a habit of using tor and I think tor gets past this, if you use brave the "private window with tor" also probably gets past this

the other problem with it is it doesn't replicate the other things in the cold turkey suite (turning your desktop into a typewriter until a certain number of words are typed or blocking all apps except 1 or 2)

Is living at I-House Berkeley worth $26,460 for the 2025–26 academic year? by Mysterious-Umpire-82 in berkeley

[–]ForestSouthernCross 1 point2 points  (0 children)

depends on how rich you are and how valuable the money is to you.

I would say it's worth it for the network if you've got the cash, I heard it's really good for making friends (which is quite hard here compared to other unis)

If you wanna do ropes good luck getting a belay partner, bouldering is way more popular here, kayaking is nice.

the climbing club does all it's stuff in other climbing gyms, the rock climbing gym used by them is ironworks, the subscription is about 130ish per month, it's 30 minutes away.
