There’s no real “finish line” on this whole building a healthy lifestyle thing, but I’m finally at the point where the immense amount of work put in feels worthwhile. I can now bike again, which feels incredible. After putting it off for some time I finally got my old bicycle (lots of sentimental value there) repaired. I spent many years very despairing that I would never ride again. Major Milesto...

It has been a while since I’ve published one of these off-the-cuff walking monologues. In short, I’ve been worn down from the disappointment of continuing to reach higher, and feeling punished when minor injuries accumulate into feeling trapped again. Progress remains steady, but I still have a long way to go. Biting off more than I can chew When I think about what’s been troubling me lately a gre...

I really appreciated the chance to have my solo debut on Geopolitics & Empire , which is one of my favorite podcasts that I’ve been listening to for many years.

It really wasn’t that long ago that I even struggled with walking, but I am thrilled to share that I have gone rollerblading for the first time in a long time. A lot of great things are coming together this Spring and I am eager to make the best of it. Last week I made a new low of just a hair below 289. Lately I’ve been looking back at just how hard-won my newfound mobility is and reflecting on h...

Reposted from Gabe. Rocks | Reply via Fediverse Lately I’ve been wrestling with a quite familiar terror brought on by world events. With escalating wars and energy shocks I find myself reminded of the dark days of the covid years. Since then I have learned that the problem isn’t fear in difficult times, but being ruled by it. One of the most frustrating things to see is how during the chaos, peopl...

You can taste the palpable salty feeling from the US Federal Government having to tell citizens they should use encrypted communications. After ages of fighting citizen’s right to private communications from the very beginning, it seems that desperate measures must be taken to prevent foreign adversaries from having access to sensitive information. This is a radical departure from the top-down mes...

GrapheneOS writes to Unplugged: (Emphasis mine) No, you created it to make money. You do not believe in anything beyond making money. You’ve marketed your products with highly inaccurate privacy and security claims including claiming it’s impenetrable. You are scamming people , and spreading misinformation about an open source project further contributes to it. The past history of many of the peop...
