Welcome aboard #nautical.social, the digital haven for everyone who feels the call of the open water. From weekend paddle-boarders, novice #boaters, liveaboards, seasoned #sailors, to old seafaring legends, we've dropped anchor here for you! This is your safe harbor in a much larger #fediverse.
"The reason I'm so confident is our savings - one-and-a-half tonnes of fuel per day. Get four wings on a vessel, that's six tonnes of fuel saved, that's 20 tonnes of CO2 saved - per day. The numbers are massive."
It is good to be independent -- far, far better than being a follower or acolyte. But I believe we achieve our best results when we pool our resources and skills, as independent, strong individuals, and work together in friendship.
🌟🤝 Special post dedicated to ALL those facing hardships 🌸💪
🌊🚣♀️🌅 Sail the river of life towards new — and unknown — horizons.
Don't let problems, which will always arise, stop you.
Keep moving forward, leaving the past behind, and facing life's adversities.
Don't be held back by your limitations — be it prejudices, uncertainties, or doubts — but surpass them, proving to yourself every day that you can conquer any challenge.
Sail the river of life into the unknown. 🌍✨💪

🗒️ "Waiting for a moment that you think won't come
Belief is no illusion but you must go on
The heart is like a temple, one you cannot see
Inside this world's discovery
From the desert to the ocean a revolving sun
The journey now has just begun
The heart is like a temple, one you cannot see
Inside these walls just you and me"
When you can't outrun the storm, you have to deal with being in the middle of it. And the more practice you have with difficult situations, the better off you'll be.
🌊 The thrill of navigating towards new horizons fills me with overwhelming joy! 🌅 Embracing the unknown, I'm ready to dive in headfirst and discover amazing opportunities that lie ahead. 🌈💫
🗺️ Charting my course through unexplored paths, I'm fueled by enthusiasm and curiosity. With a heart full of anticipation, I can't wait to uncover hidden treasures and create beautiful memories along the way. 🌺🌍💖
🌟 Join me on #nixorigin about this exciting journey as we leave our comfort zones and embrace the beautiful unknown. Let's embrace the challenges and celebrate every milestone with open arms. 🎉✨
🌠 Together, let's embrace the joy of stepping into new chapters, forging new connections, and making our dreams a reality! 💪💙
When I was a kid, we had a calendar with the holidays listed in red -- red letter days were celebration days. This painting is a red sail day -- a celebration day consisting of a group of friends getting out into the water, enjoying the weekend, together.
#shade#sail experiment so far. It's not a large amount of shade (12x12x12 triangle), but it IS strategic. Keeping morning sun out of one room and back patio is pleasant instead of searing. #heatwave#adaptation
#shade#sail temporarily mounted. Attempt to reduce sunlight hitting one side of the house during these heatwave, and to maybe make that side of the #patio usable in the morning. #heatwave#adaptation
We need to talk about fish.
Now that there are no longer plenty more fish in the sea, boats go further and stay out longer to hunt their catch. It takes over half a tonne of fuel oil to land one tonne of fish.
That gives fish a bigger carbon footprint than most foods.
The fishing industry emits more CO2 than the aviation industry.
Maybe we need to stop flying and stop eating fish.
I've been giving #fish a try on a periodic basis every 6 months or so.
The pattern is always the same: I read an amazing article on how fish makes feature X easier/fancier than bash/zsh, I install it again, I spend half a day trying to export my two decades of bash/zsh customizations, and eventually I just give up overwhelmed by the amount of required work.
Fish is a great shell, but I don't know why they decided to go all the way and completely break the compatibility with anything that POSIX has produced over the past four decades.
I won't rewrite all of my shell functions, aliases, if statements, for loops, string concatenations, and/or conditions and environment variables to comply with a shell that is only compliant with itself, sorry. And I don't know why they decided to go the nuclear way and break compatibility so hard where they could have at least guaranteed a back-compatibility layer with (at least) zsh. Reinventing the whole wheel to make it look exactly the way you want, while disregarding compatibility with everything that already exists, is probably the biggest violation of the UNIX philosophy.

Some terms date back to the late 1950s MIT Tech Model Railroad Club, a very early progenitor of #hacker culture.
