Engineer, trying to kick the habit by doing humanities and science; doesn't really work but I like it. Not a specialist to "follow" for a single subject, but I might know how some things are connected. Very high Reading-to-TV ratio. Ardent #cyclist. Attracted to #complexity through the lens of #philosophy, e.g., #cognition #history #ideology #life #linguistics #logic #neurology #phenomenology #politics #psychology #semiotics #sociology #stochastics #technology #truth. Relapse to #selfhosting.
Happy Winter Solstice everyone! A friendly reminder: as it's usual at this time of the year, what bothers you will last for a while. My advice is to enjoy the things you like about the season. Change will be noticeable in a month from now, and change will appear to be the new normal around Equinox. #solstice #winter
We have a cold spell in Germany, it's more like January than like November. During my ride today, the air was colder than yesterday, down to -3.5 C (26 F), but most of the time it was sunny, and cycling in the sun was nice. Today, my face and my feet were better protected against the cold than yesterday. Anyhow, I decided that 65 km (40 miles) is enough. Another thing: today I surpassed 25,000 km since January 1 😄 #cycling #bikeTooter #winter #frostpendeln
Waldenburg from the Hohenlohe plain. During my 100 km ride today I had stereotypical fall weather: quite strong wind, in the hills with gusts, rain and some sunshine, temperatures between 6 and 9 degrees C. Much slower than under better weather conditions, but in a few weeks today's weather will be what I'll call good weather. #cycling #fall #Germany #Hohenlohe image
I own a miniature "netbook computer", the best selling type of computer from 2009 to 2011 (I believe) that's been unused for 8 years. Unlike the last generation of netbooks, with larger screens and normal sized keyboards, my Eee-PC 900A is a real 1st gen netbook: the keyboard is the right size for touch-typing toddlers and the 8GB flash is, like, small. It has a 32bit CPU; Bookworm is the final #Debian release supporting it. It now runs the latest Firefox ESR. Slow, but it works. #netbook image
