I use MX, and it’s very good, but technically it’s based on Debian.

I went on a vacation trip last week. We took the ferry fron Connecticut to Long Island, rode our bikes from Orient Point to the Hamptons, took the train to New York City, hung out in Brooklyn for 4 days. No car the whole way. It was awesome. Brooklyn is super cool, biking in NYC is the best way to enjoy the city. I am full of ideas for the next trip.

I did. It was perfectly fine, got a new condition, slightly older model phone for about half price. Unlocked.

Hario Skerton, use one every day.

Specifically, good things on the World Wide Web: research. The amount of good information available is incredible, compared with pre-Internet times. Weather forecasts, what the space telescope is looking at, what’s happening in other parts of the world places in their own voice.

Sure, there is misinformation as well, and some people will cast doubt on anything they don’t like or try to drown it out, but get past that, and this is a golden age of knowledge.

Pushing a tricycle around the yard. It was too big for me to ride. About 3 years old. I know it’s my real memory because it’s very sensory, the grass was tall and tickled my legs, and the trike was rusty and squeaked. It feels slightly alien, I can’t quite understand 3 year old me.

All of the above. Depends. Speakers for when I want to share with others, or no one else will be disturbed. Noise canceling headphones when I want to isolate myself from the surroundings. Ear buds when I want to be portable.

OMG this is awesome, thank you. Except it’s going to consume way too much of my life noiw

I do. I do it every day, at a public gym/pool. It was originally a way to maintain or regain “ability” (don’t call it “fitness”, I’m still old and fat). After a while, you start feeling better, and some time after that, start noticing things are getting worse if you don’t do it.

For me, doing something fun, out of the house with others, helps a lot. Spin class, circuit training, water aerobics, having others around doing the same thing is motivating. I worked with a trainer for a while, they helped come up with things I like, for example, one of my favorites is tossing a medicine ball. Don’t ask me why, but I like that.

If you don’t enjoy it, try something else.

The first time I did a web site that was any use to other people, was exactly like this.

I don’t necessarily agree with everything they say either, but I do believe that diversity is good, and big, opaque media run for financial gain are not my personal favorites.

Yes, I’m one too. That’s why I am here. The channels are generally relevant to me, and I can communicate with people, and not disappear in the mob, or deal constantly with low effort smart ass comments, trolls and bots.

Only on a VM. Like a lot of less common OSs, drivers are a problem.

Red sports cars and sex with younger people are traditional…

Ask one what’s their favorite flashed device…

Gene Cafe roaster, Hario hand grinder and brewer. I usually do pour over, I do own a French press. If I want espresso, I’ll go out for it.

Roasting and brewing the best coffee I possibly can.

Installing open source operating systems or firmware on every device I can.

I did, recently, with a couple of high school buddies.

One, I left a voice mail, they never returned the call.

The other, I got in contact, I went to visit them, we had some drinks, dinner, chatted a lot, it was great. We have continued to be in contact since.

Overall, I’d say it was absolutely worth it.
