I assume, then, that a lot of these tasks are generated by your tools? If that works for you. None of my tasks are generated, though.

It's helpful to remember the GTD "two-minute rule" as well. The underlying reason the 2-minute rule exists is because if a task only takes two minutes, then it's not worth your time to write it down and track it. Just do it in the moment!

So that same principle can apply a little bit in how granular you go with your tasks. If you get too specific, you risk spending too much time writing, organizing and reviewing. On the other hand, if you get too general with your tasks (e.g. "Spend quality time with son") it won't be actionable enough to execute when the moment arises and will cause you to re-think through its meaning each time you see it, which is inefficient.

I think of tasks less as steps from an IKEA manual and more as prompts. I stay concrete and actionable but also I only write down what is necessary for me to know what to do without "thinking" about it. In some cases, this means adding a lot of details, though. Like "Call insurance to start refund for broken TV" might need extra info like the specific phone number, the product number and serial number of the TV, the date of purchase, etc. I will do all the leg-work to get that action item prepped during a daily or weekly review so that when I have time to execute on it, I have all the details necessary to be successful.

So if what you're doing keeps you "in the driver's seat", go for it. Nobody can really tell you if that's true or not but you.

The answer is subjective. It comes down to whether or not you, personally, find this useful and productive.

Go back to the core principles. And the primary question being "Are you appropriately engaged with your commitments?"

If this kind of activity is keeping you feeling fully in control, not overcommitted and leaving the day with a sense of worry-free and guilt-free productivity, then you're probably doing it right.

If, however, like most of us, you got yourself over-committed and your going to burn out because of it six months from now, then its time to renegotiate your commitments and start learning to say "No" or "Not yet" to things.

Now, for me, "hundreds of tasks a day" is too fine-grained tracking. I could never do that. If something is already a routine or already on some list somewhere, I don't bother putting it in my system. Because I already know I'm going to do it and I have appropriate prompts, I have no reason to track it.

Take something simple, like buying toilet paper. I wait until the natural prompt arises, which is that when I'm getting a new toilet paper roll I notice the stock is almost gone. THEN I'll write "toilet paper" on my shopping list, which is under my @errands context. Done. I didn't need an extra app that tracks my household consumption habits with AI and alerts me when it thinks I need toilet paper. It's way easier and better to allow the natural prompt to take its course.

Or doing dishes. I never write that down either. Why? I'll see the sink full and that's my cue! Same with anything on my calendar.

Habits are best done either through specific apps or using something like the "habit stacking" method, where you chain habits together over time. Either way, I keep that out of my regular TODOs. And, for me, things like exercise and such are based on how I feel. Has it been a couple days since I did a job? Oh, well, then I guess I need to do one today. No reminders. No tracking. Just taking a few minutes a day to be aware of my own self and my state of being.

What things? Amnesty is wrong about the DPRK. It's not so much if it's technically true that the government "restricts" "freedom" and "access to information" (because that's true for all states, including the USA), it's the fact that it exaggerates these ideas and uses bad sources to paint an narrative that the DPRK is repressed, which it isn't.

EDIT: well, not internally repressed, but the country is definitely repressed by the West. For example, it is true that citizens are banned from travelling outside of the country. But they aren't banned by the DPRK government, they're banned by the international order outside of the DRPK. Amnesty is calling this "restriction of movement", which it technically is, but that has everything to do with the "West" and nothing to do with whether their government is repressing them. But, of course, they're not going to mention that level of detail.

Always read Amnesty International with a large degree of skepticism. They are generally pro-whatever-the-US-wants-them-to-be. For example, they love how the US broke international law (which the US created) and kidnapped President Maduro for a sham trial.

They sometimes do good work, of course, which is how they're seen as legitimate. And I'm not saying they're a direct mouth-piece of the US government or something. I don't think they are. Just that you need to remain skeptical.

Most sources for what is believed to be happening in the DPRK are fabricated sources. We should not ignore that the US wants to overtake the country and that the DPRK has not provocated anything. And there are $millions spent per year on using "soft powers" (i.e. propaganda) to weaken the government of the DPRK.

Words are important too. Is the government of the DPRK "controlling" or is it really just the case that the people are united together against foreign aggression?

There's YouTube channels that go to the DPRK and talk about how they're "followed" and "watched" all the time and stuff. The idea here is that this is how they treat citizens. But it's not. It's how they treat dipshits that would love to cause problems so they get more clicks on their YouTube channel. And the government there knows that the USA will use any incident it can as an excuse to escalate to a military conflict. It's all shits and giggles for the Western YouTuber but they know that this could spark an international incident that could get thousands or more people killed. OFC they're going to keep an eye on these nitwits!

Just use your head, that's all. The DPRK propaganda is one of the easiest to dispel because it's so outlandish and ridiculous. The reason most give it a pass, though, is because the USA also suppresses any information that goes against its narrative. This is a tactic as old as civilization.

Same! I think that the proxmox webserver (pveproxy) already does redirection to https and uses its own, self-signed certs. So in a reverse-proxy situation, you should not be trying plain http at all but go straight to an https connection to your server from the reverse proxy.
