Here is how I did it https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/online-hygiene/src/branch/master/index.js namely a local NodeJS Web server tracking my habits.
You can see the default configuration at https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/online-hygiene/src/branch/master/index.js#L52-L65
In retrospect I should make available outside thus work on my mobile too when I’m not on my LAN, created https://git.benetou.fr/utopiah/online-hygiene/issues/3 accordingly.
Anyway what is fascinating IMHO in term of minimalism is that… I’m NOT actually using it anymore. Why? Well because the habits is now, roughly, ingrained. I don’t use it because it became mostly pointless.
That’s I’d argue what one should think of in terms of minimalism. Namely one provides a scaffolding that, yes, as others pointed out, might initially look like MORE work or tools than the typical situation. Yet, this only showcases how terrible the “normal” situation is. Once new habits are formed then remove the scaffolding and enjoy minimalism in a way most people expect, namely visibly less.
The problem though is that until that final step, it looks like more, BUT during that final step, it looks obvious to others, whereas they entirely miss the process that lead to it.
Yep. Learning anything new or even just changing habits takes effort, time and mostly a sense of responsibility for yourself. A lot of the non-mainstream things we do in pursuit of privacy really aren’t much more complicated than their mainstream counterparts.
