    I switched to arch on my main PC, so probably better at managing Linux. Ramping up my road biking workouts, so I’ll probably be faster (I normally do a 500mi riding event from Christmas eve to new years and hoping to crush that this year).

    Deno2 and typescript. For no particular reason the release of Deno2 has prompted me to build a web app in my spare time. I mostly a sysadmin, I haven’t written anything but APIs and utility scripts for at least 5 years.

    Hopefully my hobbies and mental health. Hopefully…

    I kinda hate doing my hobbies as they were “talented” ones and just about everyone in my life was toxic competitive about it. I was seen as “good” and everyone competed with me. But then they see I’m not good and still hate me for being “better” despite being not good. So improving and unfortunately actually becoming good is just triggering now.

        Depends on the skill level that you are starting on. If your are starting more or less new then I cannot overstate how useful a teacher can be in getting things right from the get go.

        Generally speaking you want to start out with training basics like correct breathing and how to create a tone correctly. I’m the end singing is a very physical thing. You learn to use the muscles in your mouth and throat properly.

        Also things like hitting the right pitch and rhythm are a thing. Depends if you have a musical background otherwise.

        And very important: If something hurts die out after singing, you’re not using the right technique. It will occur that your do things wrong while practising but listen to your body and don’t overdo it.

        I can warmly recommend Catherine Sadolin’s Complete Vocal Technique. It is a fantastic book especially if you don’t want to / can’t get a private teacher.

        I hope this was somewhat helpful to you, cheers!

    Maybe I should do the things I’m planning to do all year.

      I remember my dad doing it and it brings back good memories for me: The smell, the sounds.

        If you shave, I highly recommend learning how. It’s completely transformed my experience of shaving from a task that I dreaded to an enjoyable part of my day.

      Safety razor is the way to go! Take it slow and let the weight of the safety razor do the work. It’s so much cheaper than the multi blade razors too!
