I believe.

@Berrybunchfamily @StevenBerry I was wondering how you were doing, glad you're not feeling too bad. Thank God for modern medicine!

@mary and I watched Flight of the Navigator last night. I loved that movie growing up and is is still good! Tonight we watched Life After the Navigator and it's about the life of the child actor after the film...People, don't treat your kids like adults, know where they are, and keep them as far away from addictive snares as possible. It was a sad story about Joey Cramer's fall through the cracks, but he has gotten up and we're rooting for him and everyone else in his shoes!

@Big_Diggity Should I give it a listen?

@badbede Essential for what?

@bjtitus I have a Starlink and loved it, but the antenna got broken by hail. That isn’t covered by the warranty and I haven’t bought a new one. When I cancelled the service, I got a confirmation, but I kept getting charged. There was literally no way to contact a human. I just disputed the charge on my card and they finally stopped. We use Starlink on several construction offices, it’s easier to setup and move, and much better than cellular data.

@heycitizen They stopped and thought that they should.

@christopher That’s pretty extreme! I dabbled in barefoot in 2003, but only was able to run 2-3 miles before my feet hurt. It was a really weird thing to do then, but now looks less crazy. That’s a shame about your back. Don’t underestimate walking. I’ve had back injuries that hopefully won’t stop me. After such a long hiatus from running, it occurred to me that I might lose the ability if I didn’t act now.

I swapped out Linux Mint for Devuan today on a couple of displays in the house. Mint was getting kinda bloated and I needed very few of the packages that I saw in updates. Not a fan of systemd either. Seriously though, I haven't missed fooling around with wifi drivers. Between those and a problem with the USB installer, I wasted more time than it was probably worth.

Since I started training for a marathon, I've been transitioning to minimal/barefoot shoes because there is a convincing amount of evidence that suggests that modern shoes increase injury. It reminded me of the 2000 year old Roman shoes that were found in a well. Wow.

@N3VEM I use Telnyx and like them. I don’t do anything fancy, just run a landline and Librem 5 with them.

@deutrino There is something similar with NomadNet now…

@mary snapped a cool picture on our date!

Planning on running a marathon next September/October, wish me luck!

@sagt@ioc.exchange @Linux_in_a_Bit It’s really rooted in personal sovereignty. Americans value that. Anyone who has ever been powerless can probably understand why. Being able to own tools like guns, cars, Linux, and solar panels strengthen personal sovereignty. Right to repair, growing your own veg, etc. is in the same camp.

@paga4 This is John interviewing Nathan back in 1982. My understanding is that he helped a lot of people in his 50 years of practicing medicine. 77 isn't young, but it isn't old either. I think there's a lot of people who put their hope in diets, exercise, etc, but really, we're not guaranteed tomorrow. The best we can do is to learn, make the best decisions we can, and put our hope in God.
