问HN：通过物理解锁设备来实现更有意识的计算机使用？
我很容易被我的笔记本电脑吸引。游戏、新闻、在线琐事，甚至工作。<p>一旦我将注意力从抽象的电脑世界中抽离出来——比如起身上厕所、开门、或者电池快没电了——我就回到了身体里，环顾四周，注意到待办事项，意识到时间。此时我突然更能有意识地考虑我想做什么。<p>也许我并不是每次都能做出完美的决定，但如果我能定期从虚拟思维空间中被打断，不得不站起来，比如去把电脑连接到楼下墙上的一个物理设备，至少我会有机会考虑我真正想做的事情。随着时间的推移，我可以锻炼这种能力。<p>我尝试过很多应用程序和生活窍门，但它们都太容易被我那追求快乐、迷失在电脑中的大脑所覆盖。<p>所以我想问HN：有没有类似以下的东西？<p>我希望我的电脑在使用X分钟后有效地锁定，直到我用一个物理设备解锁它（我会把这个设备放在楼下的门旁）？<p>如果我的机器锁定5分钟，那几乎就足够了，因为这可能会迫使我因无聊而移动——但有时我需要在不长时间中断的情况下继续工作（也许我正在开会！），所以需要一个较短的暂停，就像互联网闪烁了一下，或者我需要让猫出去一样。<p>一些额外的背景信息：<p>0. 我不介意将现有的构件组合在一起，但我在寻找一个可靠的解决方案：尽可能简单和可测试，以降低将我的机器变砖的风险。<p>1. 我需要锁定功能根据时间表和/或使用分钟数自动开启，因为否则我根本不会打开它。<p>2. 除了物理解锁设备外，锁定不能被绕过……理想情况下，它是一个克隆设备，这样就有了一个即时备份，或者有一个我不知道但可以“打电话给朋友”的紧急密码。<p>3. 一旦锁定，必须（a）能够解锁并使用我的电脑，但（b）这样做必须“打破电脑的魔咒”（即需要离开屏幕并身体站起来），这样我才能有意识地决定接下来要做什么。<p>也就是说，我不应该能够用鼠标点击“解锁”按钮（太简单了）。解锁也不能遵循严格的时间表，因为有时我确实需要在深夜继续使用电脑来处理工作或生活事务（这可能是上瘾大脑在作祟，但如果我能培养出一种有意识的能力，那就太好了）。<p>感谢分享你的想法和建议。

I get sucked into my laptop very easily. Games, news, online chores, even work.<p>As soon as I tear my attention away from the abstract computer world -- getting up to pee, answering the door, running out of battery -- I'm back in my body, looking around at todos, noticing the time. I'm suddenly better equipped to be intentional about what I want to do.<p>Maybe I don't make perfect decisions every time, but if I were regularly interrupted from the virtual mindspace, and forced to get up and, say, tap my computer to a physical device on the wall downstairs, at least I would have a fighting chance to consider what I actually want to be doing. I could grow that muscle over time.<p>I've tried lots of apps and life hacks, but they're all too easily overridden by my pleasure-seeking lost-in-the-computer brain.<p>SO I ASK HN: DOES SOMETHING LIKE THE FOLLOWING EXIST?<p>I want my computer to effectively lock up after X minutes of usage until I unlock it with a physical device (that I would secure next to the downstairs door)?<p>It would almost be enough to simply lock my machine for 5 minutes, since that would likely force me to move out of boredom -- BUT sometimes I need to be able to continue without a long interruption (maybe I'm in a meeting!), so a shorter pause is necessary, as though the internet blinked or I had to let the cat out.<p>Some extra context:<p>0. I don't mind hacking existing building blocks together, but I'm looking for a reliable solution: something that is as simple and testable as possible to reduce the risk of actually bricking my machine.<p>1. I need locking to turn on automatically based on a schedule and/or minutes of usage because otherwise I will simply not turn it on.<p>2. The locking cannot be circumvented except by the physical unlocking device... ideally it's clone, so there's an immediate backup and/or there's an emergency password that I don't know but could "phone a friend" for.<p>3. Once locked, it has to (a) be possible to unlock and use my computer, but (b) doing so has to "break the computer spell" (as in require looking away from the screen and physically getting up) so I can be intentional about what I do next.<p>That is, I shouldn't be able to click an "unlock" button with my mouse (too easy). Nor can the unlocking adhere to a rigid schedule, because sometimes I really do need to, say, keep using the computer late at night for work or life stuff (this might be addiction brain talking, but if I can develop an intention muscle instead that would be great).<p>Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas.
