I have lots and lots of calendr events in my tablet, and sometimes need to delete events. It would be great if I could use a task to delete upcoming events, but i cant seem to find that functionallty in tasker.

Is there a way to use tasker to delete an upcoming calender event?

I downloaded the calendarTask plugin, but that always spits out google play errors. Usually "google play error 6" I think.

The error goes away and everything works if my tablet is connected to a wifi network, but that is not a fix because I functionally do not have access to any wifi. Is there a way to get around this problem in calendartask?

Ideally a 3X3 widget.

It feels like I should not have to spend more then an hour looking for a large timer widget that does not have invasive permissions or ads. Is there one on f-droid? I cant seem to find one in either the playstore or f-droid.

Are you disorganized, or maybe hyper-organized? Are you interested in improving your productivity? Do you keep several spreadsheets and checklists tracking your productivity levels? (no? just me?)

If so, feel free to join us this sunday for a casual chat about improving productivity. Its a lot more fun then it sounds, I promise.

Last Sunday we had the first improving your productivity meetup. Me and two other redditers got together had a really interesting chat about productivity, email, task management, and goal setting.

It was a really interesting and engaging conversation, and I hope to continue to have weekly casual meetings like this in the future, as well as a bigger monthly meeti

No matter where you are in life, it is helpful to have people to talk to about your goals and the methods you use to reach those goals. Sometimes you never think about why you work a certain way untill you talk about it with someone.

That's what I hope this will become. We get together, chat about our goals and maybe update each other on where we are, then talk for a bit about a particular subject. Maybe

I like being productive, and I want to be more productive. So I thought I would start a group dedicated to discussing productivity and self improvement in general. We could talk about things like checklists, calendars, goals, systems, so on.

If your interested in meeting up, leave a message or send me a PM. I'm going to be at the West St. Paul Caribou coffee at noon tomorrow. I'll be the guy wearing sandals with the gigantic old looking computer.

This is probably a really silly idea, but I figured I might as well thro

These series of videos called Extra History imply in the series on the formation of the confederacy that the ideals behind it influenced some of the founding fathers.

Some preliminary googling seems to indicate that congress at one point thought this as well. At least they did in 1988: https://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/hconres331.pdf

But Im not so sure. Ideas often arise independent of each other, and from what ive read the founding fathers drew most of their inspiration from the enlightenment writers. Is there any writings to indicate some of the founding fathers drew inspiration from the Iroquois confederacy?

if I change the filters to block a website (reddit for example) will reddit know that its being blocked? Will other websites be able to see im trying to be more productive?

For that matter, could ISPs or other snoopers? Im trying to decide if a loss in some annonmity is worth increasing my productivity.

I block out my workday by tasks I need to complete, and use timers to make sure I stay on schedual. But somtimes I just need another 10 minutes finish a quick paragraph or look somthing up.

What would be ideal is a feature on a timer app that lets me set up a nudge (ideally a smaller vibration) for every 2 minutes (a come on hurry it up man kinda thing) that would continue without me needing to do anything untill, after the 10 mintues are up, Theres another strong vibration sequence and I can decide if I need another 10 minutes or if I should dedicate another whole work chunk to the task.

I have a bunch of other different ways I want to use timers, but thats the big one. I havnt found an

So, ive gone through all the steps outlined here and have edited the hosts file so that it should block reddit.com, but its not working.

I have followed the exact same steps with my ubuntu distro, and there it works fine and blocks reddit, so there must be somthing diferent about tails thats preventing it from working.

Does editing the hosts file even do anything in tails? Are there some other steps I need to follow?

All of this is an attempt to block reddit (without installing an add-on that would potentially break my annonmyoty) and thus boost my productivity, so if you have a different solution that would be great too.

Hey all, anyone know of any good minnesota news focussed podcasts or radio stations?

I work a job in the very early hours of the day (think 2am-8am) that lets me listen to stuff, and I normally just tune to 91.1 to listen to the news.

But latley Im getting tired of listening to 91.1, in the morning its mostly just the BBC and international news, and when MPR finally starts up Its great at first but I end up hearing the same stories repeated two or three times, with too much enphisis placed on national news instead of MN news.

I have about 2 hours of boring work in the early morning that I want to fill with news (once MPR starts repeating itself), any suggestions?

so after posting a bunch asking about blocking urls, it was reccomended that I edit the hosts file. So, I followed the instructions here:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/modify-manage-hosts-file-linux/

but its still not blocking reddit or any website I add in there.

Steps I follow, I open up the root terminal and run sudo nano /etc/hosts

then I paste in 127.0.0.1 reddit.com

click cntrl x, click y, click enter, and that should be it, right? But nothing seems to change. I can still acess reddit.

But the hosts file is definitly changed, when I go to look at it normally this is what it looks like:

127.0.0.1       localhost amnesia
::1             localhost ip6-localhost 

So, when I am working on my laptop I somtimes find myself reflexively typing in reddit or fivethirtyeight into the url box and distracting myself.

This happens often enough that it has a measurable impact on my productivy, so rather then spend mental resources constatly refocussing myself, is there a way to block my tor browser from accessing reddit and other potentialy distracting websites in a way that does not comprimise my anonymity?

I do remember reading that addons are fingerprints that can potentially used identify distinct users, which defeats the whole perpuse of using tor.

Any addon, script, or workaround is acceptible (as long as it does not break annonmytity), even if its a p

Hey all. So I get this error when attempting to mount my backup drive

"Error mounting /dev/sdb2 at /media/user1/Backup: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,errors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb2" "/media/user1/Backup"' exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat' (udisks-error-quark, 0)"

Ive tried auto mounting and using Disks to mount, and both spit out that error. When i try to mount in the terminal following the instructions here I get
