What is your data format? I noticed that in different countries the data is exported differently and the app currently supports 3 different formats. If you give me a sample, I would be happy to update the tool.

Thanks!

YouTube can be a real time sink! Have you checked out https://watchlimits.com/ - maybe that could help you use YouTube better? I would be very interested in hearing about your suggestions about the tool! Please DM me on https://twitter.com/attilczuk or feel free to contact on justyna@watchlimits.com

No :), I'm not sure how hard would it to build it, but I haven't built it yet (also because I don't use Disney+).

Good for you!

This is very real. The time adds up and it's often not the best way to relax/learn. Not only you could spend this time being productive, you could also just be resting or sleeping or just reflecting on your life.

You might want to check out https://watchlimits.com/ (free extension, I built this), or some other tools I mention in https://watchlimits.com/blog/posts/more_hours_per_week/

I can totally see how this can derail your life. The algorithms are there to give you videos to keep you watching and the time can really fly by.

You mentioned going cold turkey, I think it's a good idea, but might be hard to implement as all or nothing approaches are prone to relapses.

You can use watchlimits.com if you are interested in setting limits for your watching, but still being able to watch some. For example youtube content is often useful in life, so it's good to have some access to it. Without a tool like this, just watching "one" helpful video could be cause a relapse to a whole evening watching.

attero··on How We Use Docker (And Why We Can’t Live Without It)
Author here, it's the first time I hear about ElasticBox here, but it sounds interesting - I see that it supports docker too.

Before Docker we used Vagrant with virtual machines. It's a decent tool, but it doesn't really help with deployment - you don't ship virtual machines from vagrant, as you can with Docker containers and with Vagrant - developer's machines tend to diverge.

We've chosen Docker because it's lightweight, portable and we've seen lots of potential in this tool. It's ecosystem grows really fast, but docker is pretty stable now.
