til: they are selling dos 6.2 and windows 3.0 compatible x86 computers at aliexpress for 200 usd. there’s also windows 95 machines. newly built but with old architecture and bus systems. i am intrigued to get into non-old retro computing. i really just need a low energy consumption device that can run gemini and irc. anyone have seen similar devices?

spend a night in nature. a bit scary at times but also unbelievably relaxing and satisfying. nothing better than being woken up by the sun in the morning.

have a new video out. it shows me building a work bench in the storage container. yolo style. no plans. just tools and wood. this is meant to be the first base for the future off grid house building adventure. enjoy! https://youtu.be/KOT6-dYKBYI

felt so braindead after work yesterday. went to the maker space and practiced welding and plasma cutting for an upcoming project. that immediately re-energized me. can’t imagine what a lack of physical work would do to me. how do people live on-screen and on-line all the time? is that a special ability i don’t have, maybe?

had the chance to once again see how incentives drive behavior. not in a good way. some cities are so run down and somehow everyone seems to be ok with it. back to the mountain paradise for me.

i have a few thousand dollars remaining principal on my car loan which i got at a 1.5% rate back in the days of quantitive easing. i have saved up the amount and it is earning me 4% on my savings account. i know i should stick with the loan and pay it off as slowly as the schedule allows thanks to the hilariously low rate. but there is something in me that wants to be free of this debt and pay it off right now. why is patience so hard?

a extremely busy friend is no longer responding despite there being quite active chatter until about 20 days ago. last known appearance was her going on an aircraft a week ago after getting her flying license. should one be concerned? many reasonable explanations but our brains are wired to imagine negative outcomes to protect us. not helpful today.

last day of controlled burns to get rid of wildfire fuel for the summer. we burned three dead trees and we have more left. the remaining wood has to wait until rain seasons begins in late autumn.

til: powder nails. it’s basically shooting hardened steel into concrete with a charge, like a gun. also: 2d, 12d and 16d common nails and how there is no real system behind them but a lot of interesting history.

had another great day at our land. decided the storage container needs a window. next up: get my welding skills back up to snuff. been a while. also, any off-grid welding recommendations? shall i try generator-based stick welding? don’t wanna bring protective welding gases for mig or tig. keep it simple. hillbilly style :)

paper bags keep failing me more often than not. hate them for most applications. good fuel for campfire starting, though.

tina couldn’t sleep. she talked nonstop starting at 5:30 while i was half asleep still. usually i do that to her. sucks to be at the receiving end of one’s own bad habits. til.

we built an anti deer fence from scrap materials we found on our property. fun exercise in resourcefulness initially born out of the idea that it will be a temporary fix. we all know how long temporary fixes will remain in production 🤪 https://youtu.be/IrQbklcYPm0

this work week was mixed. at least i got some technical debt cleanup moving forward. what a drag! heading back into nature tomorrow. on that note, here’s my latest video in which i learn basic plumbing skills and make extra trips to the hardware store for measuring wrong: https://youtu.be/z60LK2nbVrc

current book: „the revenge of analog“ by david sax. can recommend. i love my tech job and i love technology, but for sure it can only be a stepping stone to happiness, not the only source of it. nature and tangible things and haptic creativity are similarly important to the true human experience.

our friend kordian visited and helped us clear the road from fallen trees (storm damage). got some nice cam shots out of that day. but also totaled an entire chain saw chain and had to accept that not everyone likes to wear as much ppe as i do. enjoy! https://youtu.be/koqBVnwog10

the universe is testing me again and again this week. so many fuckups, i hardly can repair them in time for the next one to appear. i underestimated how tough it is to survive an economic downturn. on the plus side, started strength training again to mitigate the stress. it works wonders! love it!
