Right there with you. I’ve seen the school photos my parents keep: at 13 it’s a normal photo, at 14 I have deep grey shadows under my eyes. I haven’t been able to sleep “normallly” since then. I was diagnosed a couple years ago at 35; getting on stimulants improved my waking life immeasurably, but the messed up sleep remained. One of the Drs recommended melatonin; this is the only thing that has ever really helped. It kinda short circuits my brain’s intention to stay awake until 4am looking for who knows what, and when I fall asleep I really sleep. Still only manage a few hours of sleep when I’m getting up at normal o’clock for work, but at least I’m getting up.

I don’t have real advice, this is mainly for solidarity. I’m tired too.

Do 10 tomorrow

The IP address you’ve used as an example would not work. That is a ‘local’ address, ie home address. If you want DNS to resolve your public domain name to your home server, you need to set the A record to your ‘public’ IP address, ie the external address of your modem/router. Find this by going to whatismyip.com or something similar.

That will connect your domain name with your router. You then set up port forwarding on the router to pass requests to the server.

I’ve run into this when one person on a network is using Linux or Mac, and another Windows. They have different filename rules.

Merci

Triggers. Absolutely. If I have something to do, I write a reminder. If something important happens, I make a note. If I have an appointment, it goes in the calendar. Everything else just becomes dust in the wind.

When I was first diagnosed, it was my daily to-do list that kept me sane: breakfast, shower, walk, exercise… etc. Not so much that these were requirements as such, but as a reminder that these were worthwhile activities.

Personal choice. When I was first diagnosed, part of the ‘adult diagnosis program’ was looking at how to use a journal as ADHDer, rather than as a NT. As a result I spent a year or so with a handwritten journal, keeping notes on anything and everything I had the focus to write down. As I transitioned back into full time work, this quickly fell by the wayside as my free time reduced.

Now I mostly take notes digitally - at work using a variety of tools at my disposal, privately with obsidion for quick notes on my phone, or more complex topics on my nextcloud.

What to write down remains a struggle - as you say, the first bugfix gets a detailed description, then suddenly I realise I’ve fixed a half dozen points and written nothing…

I try to imagine future me looking at this issue, and how frustrated I would be without decent notes to describe it. That helps me to focus on what is valuable and what is not. Subjective and not perfect, but so is life.

I try to remember, to write anything is better than nothing, and only the act of trying allows any potential for improvement.

Take notes. It’s the only way I’m able to hang onto specific information and concepts ( ie code syntax, structures, processes ) in any reliable way. Your own notes are infinitely more valuable than any textbook(or blog or forum or whatever). Your own notes will be in your thought patterns, meaning when you read them later the information is ‘ready-to-eat’. Textbooks written by someone else provide information which first needs to be wrestled into shape before you can use it.

I have a self-hosted nextcloud server. I spent weeks learning how to set up apache, SSL certificiates etc. Then when 3 months later something broke, I had to learn it again from scratch - which led to me writing ‘guides’ for myself for all the stages of the process so the next failure would be easier to recover.

If it’s worth remembering, it’s worth writing down.

All the best! New languages (human or machine) are always difficult, but incredibly rewarding.
