I started reading and got distracted by reading and signing up for The Starfire Codes, following up on others, and I'm finally back to say thanks, Gabe! Nice to have so many different perspectives.
Well I was on my home page and your stack came up as four minutes long and I had five waiting in between other events and now that I’ve read your round up, I see that I will actually be spending close to an hour following up on all these juicy morsels. 👊
Awesome round up, Gabriel. I need to get deeper into your posts on Digital Anonymity.
When it comes to tech, I'm realizing the importance of archiving the work we do, like PDF's offline. Anything we want to keep for later, should exist out of reach of the censorship based systems. Thanks for your work on this topic ------ Nef
Hey Gabe, two thumbs up for your efforts toward weight control! If you need even more incentive to persevere, DO IT FOR US! The world needs your mind and its creativity, so don't deprive us of that. As a lifetime swimmer, I can tell you first-hand that consistent swimming exercise does marvelous things for maintaining health and good physique. (I'm on the other side, and need to exercise to keep weight on.) If my only experience with them is any example, just staying in a typically frigid Canadian swimming pool for 30 minutes will burn off an entire meal's worth of calories, LOL. Seriously though, three times a week would be excellent. Change takes time, but you will notice improvement within a couple months -- and it doesn't need to be a painful, suffering process. Any tools that keep it fun are to be enlisted -- masks, fins, dumbells, whatever. It DOES get easier (and more enjoyable/satisfying); keep at it! My first year on the high school swim team (50+ years ago) I thought I was going to drown. Eventually though, my stroke smoothed out, and I also noticed I was building muscles. (!) I sincerely hope you will notice even more physical improvements (like those you mentioned), soon. It does motivate!
Also, congrats on caffeine rejection. Diet is the other half of the equation, so forget your mouth and just keep typing -- or working on any of the other projects that keep you busy. (Feel free to eat as many tasty, nutritious -- low calorie -- VEGETABLES as you want.
You bring sorely needed ideas to the world, so take good care of the biological ediface that makes that possible!
I'm off to the gym right now, to be followed by a few hundred yards in the pool. You do your part, too. ;-)
