tracker port change, fourth internship day, sleep and bad habits

So I changed the port for the opentracker server to :7070 because :6969 seemed a bit to childish in retrospect.
Not that I don’t like it anymore. But I changed it anyways because I also want to be unique. (Now please someone send me an email with examples for existing trackers using port 7070.) The only downside is that right now I can’t connect to the stats page. I’ll have to figure that out sometimes.
Edit: I almost forgot it. The full new tracker url is udp://schmelle.me:7070/announce. Have fun with it.

Today was the fourth day of my new internship, or day nine in the long-running (three weeks) series “End of #Neet-Life”. We had an unemotional five day break there, it’s a very relaxing series so far. And today was no exception: I started at 7:30am and only got up to buy myself lunch, and then left at 16:30pm. I didn’t do very much inbetween because the hotline was very slow today, we didn’t really get any new tickets in. But thanks to my three-year apprenticeship I’m used to doing my own stuff in an office somewhere. Doesn’t really matter where that office is located. The only notable thing would be that I was able to arrange an interview with another company next week while on lunch break. I’ll keep you posted how that goes.

I’ve been doing sleep tracking tracking my sleep since two weeks. I started with just Sleep As Android, then shortly switched to Sleep Better before beginning to use both simultaneously. I like SAA more than SB because it seems to register my sleep better. SB has, on two occasions, told me I didn’t sleep at all when I definitely did. Maybe I didn’t sleep well and my sleep was often interrupted, but I slept and SB is lacking in its consistent capability of detecting that.
But back to the important part, the tracking: Sadly I don’t have complete data for the last 14 days with SAA. I missed the 22nd as well as the 28th. Both times I tried to see if running two sleep trackings apps is a thing my phone can’t handle (I use a Xiaomi Redmi 4a.) The gathered evidence suggest heavily that SB is the problem, not the phone. What follows is a short table of when I have data. (This will be expanded in a longer post some time later.)

I actually started tracking my sleep with Sleep Better on the 24th of February with the free version of Runtastic’s app. After Sleep Better didn’t track my sleep on the 28th I de-installed the free version and installed the paid version from an unlocked .apk I found on the internet for free. However I forgot to screenshot the results of what I had tracked and so I lost that data.

I’ll post screenshots of all my tracking on a different day. I have to go to bed now. And don’t worry, I’ll track it.

I’m not writing about bad habits today but I won’t change the title because that would be more work and I’m very tired.

Have a good night, y’all.

Second Life: End of #Neet-Life – The Second Coming | also: torrent tracker announcement

I’m doing an internship again. This time a bit closer to home, literally and figuratively. The target company in question is in dire need of hotline workers and I can sit at a computer all day and not get bored, so this is perfect for me. The internship started on Monday and will conclude on Friday next week (3/16/18). And I think this time I’ll do all of it and not abort after half of it.

I don’t know that for certain, though, since factors outside of my control (other employees, the boss) could still turn me. But since there are reasonably good chances I’ll get a job after the internship is over, my bank account really hopes that I’ll stick to it.

And if I’d do anything for anyone, it’d be doing this for my bank account. It’s very punished. It got drained dry and then I decided I needed to spent more money. What’s it gonna do, invent a giant shiny money tree to pay for my stupidity? No, no, no. That’d be enabling me, and it’s a good little fella, not an evil enabler.

I think I got a bit off track there.

Anyway, so far so good, the internship is quite interesting up until now. On Monday I was shown most if not all of the tools the hotline people work with, and how they use them. Yesterday I spent all day with one dude trying to figure outfiguring out how to add the newly required checks for the customer’s nagios system. And today I did my first bit of hotline work. And I got to fix up my new torrent tracker, so that’s great as well.

We’ll see what the next 7 days deliver.

If anyone wants to use my tracker to share files, just add udp://schmelle.me:7070/announce when you create the torrent. It’ll work like a charm. At least it should. Email me at sirconanad [at] cock [dot] li if you’ve got problems. Or email me if you don’t have problems, I’m very lonely, please talk to me.
