This may explain why I’m wearing a hoodie in the office in late June while most everybody else is comfortable or still hot.
But, I also do lots of outdoors stuff and acclimate to heat up to a point.
Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

Same place for me I’m betting, but three weeks on a longer “choose your own adventure” route. We chose to hike most of every day and cover as much ground as possible instead of stopping at the more “comfortable” areas that had facilities.
I forget the exact distance but pretty sure it was over 225 miles.
I cut my teeth on Linux when red hat was trying to make things “user friendly” with control panel like guis but they consistently couldn’t do what I wanted so I had to learn the terminal anyway.
25+ years later, I’ll use a gui if it works and it’s easy, but I still have trust issues that I don’t have with a config file. You put shit in a config file, it’s going to do what you asked (right or wrong) or sigterm trying… And I appreciates that.
That said, I do mostly gui config on my daily driver these days. Servers however… No gui, no problem.
At least you didn’t have to worry about Ruin manipulating it.
… Sorry, I’ve been reading the Mistborn series and just finished “The Hero of Ages”
This is exactly the comment I opened this thread to find. Thank you.
Don’t mind me, I’m just going to keep up voting these posts because they’re so well done.
Yeah… I should expand. The penguins are just my favorite part of those movies and it matches the Linux motif that I started with yet falls apart, you know, when I name a windows laptop rico-w
: P
Mine are named after the penguins from the Madagascar movie : Skipper, Private, Kowalski, and Rico.
Unfortunately there’s only four so I often supplement with a suffix. For example, I’ve got an old windows laptop kicking around that is “rico-w”
… I should really commit to a naming scheme with a wider array of options.
I don’t have kids, so yeah.
Edit: now that I scroll through the comments, I see this is a common theme.
Differs by company, of course, but the one I used to work for would wipe, reimage, and sell them to employees for $50.
I’d believe this in a heartbeat.
Now there’s too many gay people in the population to keep them down.
Well if we made more gay people, let’s just make more trans people. Problem solved!
Work on the chicken coop, work on the truck, and then see about hanging a solar Meshtastic node that I recently finished building.
I’ll find something else to screw up and cause it to break, don’t worry.
You’re not my supervisor!
Makes sense; people are stupid. Me included at least half of the time.
I remember a backpacking buddy talking about a tool for puncturing the (empty) fuel cans for “jet boil” camping stoves because they couldn’t be recycled without very clearly being empty.
Not sure yet, we’ve just been gawking at it and haven’t eaten it yet.
… I sense a follow up post.
Oddly, in the US at a local hardware store. I bought it specifically because it had metric on it and was small. Metric system, best system.
I already carried a flashlight in my pocket and now I have one on my watch. Phones are obsolete.
