Heavy lifting is the only thing that's stuck for the way my brain works. I used a program called 5x5:
- only 5 different lifts to learn, each full body so there's no fiddly minmaxing
- more or less timeboxed. 5 sets of 5 reps 3 times with about a minute between each rep and set. To improve, you add more weight, not spend more time
- consistent, once you get the routine down, and you know roughly how long it'll take, you can just let your body take over, coast on muscle memory and motor neurons, zone back in in an hour when you're done
- numeric satisfaction as your weights increase in fixed increments.
- immediate gratification because functional strength is neat and comes on surprisingly fast
Downside: So hungry, all the time.
It's been a few years since I've been active. I used to live in an apartment directly above a gym. Now I live in the boonies and need to convert my carport into a garage before I can buy a weight set.
I've seen some active instances die due to admin neglect (not paying the bills, for instance), and I've wondered how those communities have fared since, since they'd have to start over elsewhere, and without all the content and history from their origin server. Same goes with user accounts too.
It's like a weaponized grade of whatever they made CSS in JS out of
Just read a thing about how persistent usernames may work better than actual ID. Of course, I don't have a link, and I'm not finding anything on Google right now, but as someone who uses the same handle across multiple services, which makes my activity traceable, but not necessarily to my real identity, I definitely think there's something to that.
I would love to see the test suite
Slowly starting to see usb ports become more common on wall outlets. The spec currently maxes usb c to 5 amps, but, maybe some day...
On Castle, no less.
Voyager was a bit jank last time I used it, I'll give it another go
Liftoff was the closest thing I could find to reddit is fun, in terms of muscle memory, hopefully I find a replacement
Boilerplates, or solutions to really weird one off problems that require a bunch of synthesis across different, unfamiliar domains (ie, as a web dev, how do I install imagemagick on an internal, stripped down rootless RHEL container with microdnf)
"foaklies," we used to call them
