Mulling getting back into #cycling after many years away from it, but the idea of throwing several thousand euros at a decent bike is harshing the buzz. Still have a 1998 racer with Dura-Ace that got a dinged frame when a car knocked me off and broke my foot in 2015, the last time I rode.
There's no such thing as progress in #taichi / #qigong without your mind also getting rewired and transformed, but the mind-body aspects don't cause changes in each other. They just both change and blur together.
Sad to see the #Nix Foundation drive out (or at least fail to retain) one of the top project contributors. Keeping excellent people engaged in a healthy, supportive OSS community is more key to long-term success than having events sponsored by any particular organisation IMO. https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/306702
Helped a big-brained colleague solve a frustrating problem simply by hanging out on a call to provide moral support. A huge part of success in software work is calm determination and not getting demoralised or dopamine-starved.
@cms@sanityinc Second vote for the Håg Capsico. I got one at the start of the pandemic for working from home, and it's really good - especially if you're taller. I'm almost 2m and it works really well. Not cheap, but if you get on with it, you can use it for decades.
@sanityinc seems like a lot of that is only possible on an electric guitar. i'm starting to think i should get an electric, just to mess around with the pickups
@kellogh Electrics are great. Tory has a very specific setup and style. I've only ever played electric so I suspect I'm overdue an acoustic phase, because that's mostly what I'm delighted by these days.
