A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying “have taken up farming” and the github page for neofetch has also been archived.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.

    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.
