I just dove into this project [0] and like these tui libraries. I need to spend more time building here, as i don't know rust much

I'm not able, not interested, in doing nothing, but I'm interested in ways that help me look at the world differently, and in the case of the blog 's intent, i feel my approach has validity, albeit in a different way.
For lights, we leave bathroom lights on, but turn off lights and leave it that way. We go so far as to either have switch covers or tape to prevent accidental state changes.
For the most part, we don't turn anything on or off. It stays in it's state. The water heater or furnace have their own systems they abide by, and given they aren't alive, they aren't required to abide by the rules of the Sabbath. This goes for any autonomous system: timers for lights, crock pots, utilities, servers, answering machines, faxes, etc. We don't cook food, so either everything has to be prepared in advance, or we eat cold stuff.
We also follow more strict rules that are beyond tech. Technology is just one thing we avoid (long story short is we are prohibited from making a fire, sparks generated but turning something on is conceivably a distant, but related spark, thus we avoid turning on things). We don't write (no pen/paper) and as adults we don't usually play with chalk, but our children are less contained by this nuance. We don't chop wood. We try to even avoid making plans for after the Sabbath during the Sabbath.
We don't drive cars, do normal work, run errands, do chores (sweeping, cleaning up, etc are fine, but some people hold that even doing dishes may violate their Sabbath, but to each their own).
It's not always easy, and when there are holidays overlapping the Sabbath, making it 49 hours, that can sometimes be grating.
That said, we find fulfillment in long walks, community meals, board games, books, sitting around and lazing about, etc.
During these times, i do have amazing conversations (and arguments) with my family. And the space created for us is so rare these days. I can't imagine life with out our weekly ritual.
Life seemed to move slower here, nobody was up in arms about timelines to sell products to new customers for lower advertising costs, and though annual budget processes were mundane, that was for the directors to deal with.
The commute was the worst part. But the people and work made up for it.

Jon Oliver talked about debt last week (1) and how infrastructure is paid for. But if I've learned anything in my life, it's that our government is mostly show, and most of these decisions are made behind closed doors, everything else is just posturing for their base.
