A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying "have taken up farming" and the github page for neofetch has also been archived. Good for him I guess.

Woodworking is very popular among techies for a reason. As are playing music and climbing (bouldering)

    I'm an avid hiker personally

    Especially in the local wilderness where I don't get cell reception

    It's nice knowing that literally no matter how important somebody thinks their problem is they can't reach me no matter how hard they try AND no matter how much my reflex is to check my email for "important" things that need taken care of I literally can't check it.

    This past weekend, I picked up a little wooden craft kit. All the pieces were pre-cut and I just had to glue and fit things together. I put it together yesterday and I can confirm, it was the most satisfying thing I've built in ages.

    Woodworking and rock climbing scratch the problem solving itch in different ways, on top of the creative (in woodworking) and physical exercise (rock climbing) itches common in most people.

    I never understood techies that do climbing, how are their wrists not completely fucked adding that kind of exercise to the usual tech problems??

    Climbing usually builds strength and helps to reduce chance of repetitive strain injuries. Finger injuries, however, are super common but fortunately don't typically hinder typing.

    Interesting, I still weight 116kg so climbing isn't an option for me but I would have expected it to make the wrist injuries worse

    If you’re saying you think you’re too heavy to climb: while that may be true now, you could consider using that as an activity target. That is, you want to be able to do the thing, so you can figure out a plan (which might involve a doctor - I don’t know your situation) that gets you on a trajectory such that you will be able to get into climbing in a year or two. It won’t happen overnight, and it will likely not be easy, but you can get there!

    Fwiw: I recently lost about 10kg and am doing well with keeping it off, mostly with just conscious lifestyle changes (portion control, forcing myself into more active habits, being more judicious - though not puritanical - about my food choices), and the difference in my average energy level is frankly remarkable.

    Exercises using wrist strength actually help with those problems. I haven't done climbing, but I do tend to include wrist related stuff in my routine.
    e.g. nunchuck exercises are good for shoulders and wrists. Quarterstaff spinning has also been useful.
