My email provider shut down, so I had to migrate off of it. Every account I had allowed changing emails, although I had to contact customer support about some.
I tried to run some software on my router. It kind of works, if it fits. Storage was the limiting factor. There’s an option to expand the FS to include a USB stick, but somehow it made something overheat, and the router froze every now and then.
I love my walks (2× 30 minutes a day, usually). So does my perambulated pooch.
When they got home, they were so hungry that they actually consented to eating soup!
By the way, it’s totally possible to ride on level ice, if careful, but some trails have this compacted ridge in the middle which makes them convex.
A bit late to the party, but I took my kids out for a bicycle ride (into the nearest bog, so we walked part of the way). The bits where the ground was still covered with ice were the most fun.
Play video games - Cataclysm:DDA or Dwarf Fortress (tho I stayed on the pre-Steam version as it’s lighter on the CPU).
Learn a new programming language at https://exercism.org
Read a book - tons of free ones around the interwebs, legally or not, as you desire.
Install a new operating system. Try Haiku or OpenBSD. See if your phone is compatible with PostmarketOS. If not, Termux + SSH + port forwarding in your WiFi box, set up a webserver and publish something. Host a Gemini pod.
Learn a craft. Repair something that another person would toss. Start a sourdough culture - it takes a week to mature (read up on how to do this right), then bake a bread. Homemade bread is approx 16× tastier than run-of-the-mill commercial stuff.
Take a walk somewhere you haven’t walked before. Find the nearest forest lake and arrange a picnic. Take someone with you on the 2nd trip.
I’m running my email server on a POCO F1 ex-Android phone (running PostmarketOS now).
I wish I could get NixOS running on it, then I’d move other things also there.
I’m using VNC over an SSH tunnel. TigerVNC’s vncviewer
even has the -via
parameter you can use to make creating the tunnel seamless.
Most of modern music sounds horrible. Elevators and shopping malls would be better off silent than blasting this noisome garbage.
There are exceptions - there totally are modern composers creating quality stuff. It’s just not played anywhere in public places, for some reason.
Not saying my practice is the best one, but here’s what I do:
efibootmgr
.Simple yet complete. Efficient, and extensible - for example, now that everything is a subvolume, I can easily snapshot it, then create backups with rsync off the snapshot, to avoid inconsistent state between backed-up files.
What is the reason you bother with powder? I just lather some bar soap onto my noggin. Never thought of powdering my soap.
