  • IMO, the fix isn’t a pill or treatment. The fix is for society to learn to be okay with people who need to live on a different schedule. I am hopeful that the work-from-home evolution will bring about different attitudes. In job interviews, I offer to work a west-coast schedule, which would match my needs quite nicely. Too bad schools feel the need to start at zero dark thirty, or I’d be on my way to somnial bliss.






  • I don’t torrent much, but my NZB and torrent clients both get throttled on a schedule. I have no need for my automations to go fast or fill up my NAS overnight (slight hyperbole but I do often get 50MB/sec on well-hosted downloads, which is not sustainable in terms of storage cost.)

    I pause during the day for work, low throttle (500KB/s) during non-work hours in morning and evening, and at night once we’re asleep a moderate cap (5MB/sec. ) I also have some mild traffic shaping QoS on the router so the kids streaming won’t affect my Zoom meetings, for example.

    Things added manually go straight to the top of the queue, and sometimes I’ll un-throttle for a particular download that I’m waiting for.
