You know how we spend ungodly amounts of time on the internet?

2016-10-04 at 12:31 AM UTCI do that.. I love the internet for the availability of knowledge. I spent my teenage years homeschooling myself and learned about a lot. Mainly animal husbandry and practical medical knowledge. I'm a person whobstruggles to learn a concept without a reason for it.. That's why math has been difficult for me (that and I'm dyslexic with numbers). I need a way to apply the knowledge for it to sink in. I often find myself just asking stupid questions (like how are .onion hidden services set up... How does it work ect. Just being curious) and then I learn a little bit but some flies right over my head so there I am off on another search about whatever to understand the first question and then I see something interesting and then I'm off on another trail.. Oh, and all because you got me interested in Python, Sophie, I downloaded a video off YouTube to watch in my spare time: Learn python through public data hacking. It was very interesting to say the least.. But I decided to check it out because it taught in a way that's good for me: an example of use and what can be done with skills acquired. I have a lot of shit I've read and gone over but I usually lack the application side which makes it hard for me to keep things I learn or to learn them from go. If I can't apply it it never sticks.. But sometimes I walk away with little did bits. I don't have internet now so all I have ATM is my phones data or when I to find WiFi but I think I've always did more as far as educational entertainment than just fucking off. Here is the place I fuck off the most. I'm a jack of all trades yet master to none.

Anyway, I do very little learning via internet these days. I'll play the occasional game of wiki golf but almost all my reading is physical format. When programming I use dash for refrence material and anki works offline so there's no real need for an internet connection for productivity (I usually get more done if I have no internet connection or am on mobile data or something). Most of the time I'm in a browser on the internet I'm shitposting and/or in some cringy internet argument -

Cool, i am glad to see i could interest you in python. What is nice about learning to code as well, is that you can do it from the comfort of your own computer/chair even if you need to apply what you have learned to assure retention. Have you gotten around to installing the interpreter and messing around a bit with simple scripts by running them from the command line? Also if learning with real world examples is your thing i imagine you would enjoy the programming book Grey Hat Python as well. It's a detailed introduction to information security related programming with python. With examples, and projects for you to try your hand at. It's structured in a good way as well. For instance if you're going to be working on a networking tool the book will start off by explaining the basic principles of networking to you, then it is going to expand by giving you some code snippets that perform small networking related tasks and small assignments to try out what you have learned, all the way building up to writing a packet sniffer in example.

To be fair and to stay with the compsci theme we got going on, there are a number of ebooks that i have downloaded that i use to learn with as well. I got an interesting one on Linux and Bash, a couple of python and infosec related ones as well that i like to peruse. I find that a combination of ebook and google always works well, the ebook for the main info, google for gaining a better understanding of something not adequately described in the ebook. Also yeah dude, as long as you are at least also learning stuff, whether you read on or offline at least you are improving your skill set in your free time as well, which i think can never be a bad thing. -
2016-10-04 at 8:23 AM UTCI section off my time, usually. "For the next hour I will shitpost here, after that I'll eat my lunch and start doing research on this thing, then its time to hit the gym and when I come back I"ll watch tv for an hour, etc" I actually plan my whole day out this way, usually never going more than a few hours in advance. I write it down too, its a useful log to have. I also log any drugs I take and what I eat. When I get drunk this all goes out the window, but otherwise this keeps me pretty productive and on track. It's not so strict time wise as much as it is "then I'll do this, then this" but entertainment I do try to keep to my limit.
The only caveat for me is videogames. I get sucked in too easily and end up compromising for extra time. -

Ha, yeah if and when i get a cool new vidya i tend to get absorbed into it as well. But keeping a schedule like that is a good way to plan your day, i personally don't keep a schedule because i like to be able to adjust what i am doing throughout the day but like i mentioned in the OP i do try to divide my time evenly between entertainment and learning cool, interesting and useful things. -
