A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying "have taken up farming" and the github page for neofetch has also been archived. Good for him I guess.

Things made out of wood don't suddenly stop working cos you looked away for 15 seconds and Wood v2.1.4 is incompatible with Nails v4.0, but if you upgrade Nails you also have to upgrade Paint to v2.2 and they completely changed their API because the old API wasn't sufficiently cool anymore

Woodworking is very popular among techies for a reason. As are playing music and climbing (bouldering)

I never understood techies that do climbing, how are their wrists not completely fucked adding that kind of exercise to the usual tech problems??

Climbing usually builds strength and helps to reduce chance of repetitive strain injuries. Finger injuries, however, are super common but fortunately don't typically hinder typing.

Interesting, I still weight 116kg so climbing isn't an option for me but I would have expected it to make the wrist injuries worse

If you’re saying you think you’re too heavy to climb: while that may be true now, you could consider using that as an activity target. That is, you want to be able to do the thing, so you can figure out a plan (which might involve a doctor - I don’t know your situation) that gets you on a trajectory such that you will be able to get into climbing in a year or two. It won’t happen overnight, and it will likely not be easy, but you can get there!

Fwiw: I recently lost about 10kg and am doing well with keeping it off, mostly with just conscious lifestyle changes (portion control, forcing myself into more active habits, being more judicious - though not puritanical - about my food choices), and the difference in my average energy level is frankly remarkable.
