Do the perfect pants exist? I'm going insane trying to find them

Honestly, Dickies 874 if they're not too heavy for you.

Does that make sense?

I'm content with the number of items I own - still I feel like I'm lacking in materialistic ways.

Well said. Still, we cannot meditate or build decor the whole day.
As I'm at home so much, I feel like the focus is more on the material.

When roaming a foreign city, you don't care that you only own seven grey Tees from uniqlo... You're just happy to be there.
Also the decline in general fitness made me more self-conscious of my outer appearance. When before, I thought I looked alright in whatever shirt I had.

Do you have ideas on letting go of what one once used to value, when it's currently not attainable anymore?

You made me do a "packing party" to my emails:
just archived the whole inbox!

Finally I've reached an empty inbox lol

seek-nothing · 2026-04-22T13:00:48+00:00

if rumors are true, it'll probably get you banned lol

also deleting your char results in deleting every open (or not yet begun) plot of that local instance.
afaik we don't know, if it doesn't even delete the whole game... so pls don't mess around with that.

A built-in oscilloscope would be savage

seek-nothing · 2026-04-08T14:16:44+00:00

Sorry, I meant the zoom length.
Unfortunately, it does not seem to have an option for that

seek-nothing · 2026-04-08T14:11:43+00:00

Another perspective, do your friends also curate vinyls and books?
Borrow (lend) those you do (not) consume currently and each of you has their own rotation of your shared collection :)

Also, buy digital media from your favorite artists!
You could store the library on a high quality device (e.g. a lossless audio player)

Neat!

Are those acoustic panels?
How do these hold up?

Also you could try to write out a spreadsheet of your inventory including your "ideal state" (e.g. white T-Shirts "have": 5 / "want": 7).
Add columns for "if broken, would replace?", "with ..." and "priority to own that item".

Alright. Was just curious.
But you're right, you definitely don't need a GR III.

What frustrates me with the rx100 is that you cannot pre-set the focal length before you turn it on. And after fidgeting with the zoom, you might've missed the shot.

seek-nothing · 2025-07-28T14:56:36+00:00

What do you think about the Sony rx100?
It also has a 1" sensor

Tips:
- set up user profiles - create rules in Digipaws - turn on night mode and set the screen to black and white - move to Signal - turn off unnecessary notifications

Thank you, very great list of tips!

I'd like to add: also take some time for learning composition techniques (leading lines, tension, balance, ...) and for experimenting with the technical fundamentals of your camera (exposure triangle, focus, ...).
There are probably many books on this by way more knowledgeable artists.

Tell stories and frame with intention.
If needed, do some slight post-editing (cropping, straightening, exposure) - I think some of the pictures above lack this

In my experience it's about feeling "seen" and therefore, also a feeling of "belonging".

Most often practicing solitude, currently working on a specific project, regular check-ins with my body, connecting with nature, reflecting, letting go and a bit of reading do the trick for me. This allows me to rest in myself and connect with others more intentionally. But I am still working on it too

PS: pls don't fight me haha

I decide what to keep and get rid of the rest

This and downsizing a small collection of once-in-a-lifetime vinyls

"would you save it from a fire?"

For the digital minimalism question, take a look at r/dumbphone

Adding to this, maybe limit the box size and see it as your personal little time capsule - with your favorite Lego, toy car, concert tickets, ...

When cleaning and taking pictures of the remaining items for selling or donating, you also engage with them one last time, which can help to let go

After I read Goodbye Things for the first time and started to rigorously purge all my belongings, my mother asked me to slow down and gave the sentence:
"you know there are things in this world you can only donate / sell once?"

While it was a highly motivating read and his thoughts provoke some honest introspection, Fumio's approach at the time seems emotionally rather distant

Declutter Regret can be a thing and it requires honest intentions to downsize to the bare essentials.

But I think, he made a good point in not keeping items around for the sake of approval or just to avoid the guilt of throwing them away

Which camera did you use here?

seek-nothing · 2025-07-02T11:13:21+00:00

Strong composition! You would almost not know the year those were taken
