Ask HN: How to turn off my desire to be seen?

Just for interest, I uploaded the script that I use to "talk to myself" here: http://ipfs.hobbs.cz/ipfs/QmTToAExveJ7cdR7oMShovunMmN8RtUC1L...

You need sox and python3 for it to run http://sox.sourceforge.net/.

You launch it with

./101things --delay=30

When it beeps, you start talking. After you have said 101 things to yourself, in between each track it will play back one of the things you said. I found it really boring to have a conversation with myself in the moment, so I try to say things that would be of interest to my future self, like 2 hours from now. It is a very strange experience.

Interesting that you're using ipfs. Didn't expect to see it in the wild.

I'll try your experiment with my phone's memo app.

I use ipfs, not out of some sort of edginess or hipness, but because it is literally the easiest way. I just run one command, ipfs add -w file/folder and it is online ;) Faster than scping something to the web server and having to enter the old password, remembering where to put it, ect. ;)...
