New phone is here. Setting it all up was *tedious*. I hope this lasts me at least 5 years.

A while ago I wanted to turn my RasPi into a small server to host my projects, web site, etc. but I have kind of abandoned the idea now. Sure, I would own all my data and be in control of them, however I'd still depend on a domain provider and internet provider. I think I have now concluded I am happy to abandon the idea.

I wish Astrobotany had an option to delete messages. I have few that I don't really want to see anymore, but I don't want to give up my account. It feels like something too small to bother an admin and I don't have a GitHub account to make a suggestion. I wish I could code, I'd work on a solution myself and push it.

I haven't been distro hopping for several years, however I am thinking of swapping Arch with something else on my laptop. Perhaps just plain Debian? Pop!_OS? Back to Manjaro? I would like to go for something I can settle with again for a long time. Before Arch, I'd hop from distro to distro every week. I am not planning to do that again for sure! But I need a change.

What client do station users use to browse Gemini? I am using Lagrange on my phone and it's amazing. I'd be interested in a terminal client that I can use on my headless RasPi that does not have vim-inspired key mappings (I expect most programmers over here will cringe reading this, LOL).

Today is my last day off work, and it's so warm that an extreme heat alert has been issued. I wish I could rewind time and go back one week to enjoy a few more days of cooler holidays.

And landed. There was some disruption earlier this morning in Frankfurt due to a protest organised by climate activists, however my flight was not affected.

Going back home tomorrow. Sad to leave Germany and go back on my own (my partner will hopefully join me again soon), but also looking forward to be home.

We went to the Gutenberg museum today. It was amazing. Also I did not know that there are so many things to see in Mainz. Maybe I will have a chance to return one day.

I finished reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy yesterday. Beautiful book, very painful to read. It immediately went into my list of favourites.

The next part of my trip to Germany involves staying at my partner's family and getting some R&R. We do have a couple of potential day trips planned - including following your suggestion @bavarianbarbarian , but we'll see how we feel and what the rest of the family wants to do. I have some thoughts around me being here as a guest that don't fit here (too wordy XD ), maybe I will put them in some diary entry in my capsule.

Morning visit to Herrenh盲user G盲rten before we embark on a long train trip back to the Frankfurt area, where the family of my partner lives. The weather has not been able to settle between scorching hot and rainy/cold-ish. Looks like we are getting a cooler morning today.

Quick visit to the Elbphilharmonie and Alter Elbtunnel, then off to Hannover on a (greatly delayed, feels like Italy) train.

Day 3: boat trip, naval museum, some food was had. Went on top of the Feldstra脽e Bunker. Now trying to avoid the football fans and go back to the hotel. The museum was *way* bigger than expected. Overall a great day again.

Day 2 in Hamburg: breakfast in a cat caf茅, walked around the city a bit and walked into a triathlon competition, spent the entire day in the Kunsthalle. The William Blake temporary exhibition was amazing.

Leaving Berlin to go to Hamburg today. it is currently raining. Hopefully it will clear up a bit as travel in dry weather is more comfortable.

Went to Checkpoint Charlie today. I was 10 years old when the wall fell but I remember it well. I felt a really strong sense of melancholy and sadness looking at the pieces of the wall being sold: the world felt so much different back then, like I could actually feel optimistic for the future. It's a mix of innocence lost and the current political events now making me so jaded and sad.

We walked more than 35000 steps today! The first day here was great but also really, really, really warm.

Landed in Berlin! My train to Milano to the airport was 20 minutes late and my flight to Berlin landed 20 minutes early. Funny it all balanced out though it was basically faster for me to go from Italy to a different Country than it was to travel between cities in my Country.

Two more days here then it is time for holidays! I am slightly anxious that I need to pack, tidy up the house and do one more full day of work, but I will manage (it's not like I have an alternative). Worst case the apartment will not be so tidy.

I sometimes have these very clear, realistic dreams that have no relation to my actual life. One time I dreamt of an entire film, titled "The flock", starring Owen Wilson. It was a horror movie involving werewolves and some corn fields in the US. It is really funny how my brain made up a whole movie while I was asleep.

It has been ages again. My personal life has been almost completely eaten by work. I am OK. I feel a bit better. I will be on holiday soon, which is great! I have a trip to Germany planned for my vacation and I am really looking forward to it! First stop will be Berlin, then Hamburg, then Frankfurt, maybe with another stop in between.

Hei Hei! Long time no see. I have been working really hard and barely have any time or energy for my personal projects. Also I am currently in Finland and the darkness here makes me want to sleep. I know I need to find a better work-life balance, but somewhere in 2018-19 I forgot how to. I truly am a binge-worker: my job is where I go to hide from life's problems. And with no family of my own it's just too easy for me to look at work stuff during my free time.

I was walking home earlier and I was ramdomly stopped by a stranger, an older woman wearing a lot of makeup asking me where I bought the shirt I am wearing (which is just a plain blue shirt). I told her I am not sure as it must have at least 10 years. And she went: "Wow it looks new! You kept it so well!" then she just walked away before I could finish saying "Thank you". I guess it was nice, if not a little puzzling? I do put a lot of effort into making things last and avoiding fast fashion...

i just had bad news. No one is in danger so in that sense it's OK. However it does hurt and I am a little scared. If I ask myself "will this matter in one year, or five years?" the answer is probably yes. But maybe I can't think objectively.

Ah, I was supposed to take part to a charity run tomorrow (Wings for Life World Run, for spinal chord injury research), but there was a big fire at a manufacturing plant in the area and outdoors activities are now forbidden for at least one day. This is quite sad, both the cancelled event, and the consequences of the fire. At least my donation is still valid even if I don't run, so my contribution to the cause is still there.

I am sometimes nervous about posting here: I love gemini, but I think I am in a smaller group of people here with no programming / technical knowledge, so I wonder if my updates are really just kind of boring or uninteresting for people in this space.
