    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).

    Making burritos. I’ve taken to adding in a bit of salsa and sour cream, and then finishing it in the oven with a layer of cheese on top and drizzling some hot sauce afterwards. I’m currently figuring out side dishes to go alongside them, and then i’ll move onto the next dish that catches my attention.

    Swimming, I used to swim in high school but I’ve been out of practice for a couple decades, I got back in the pool a couple of weeks ago and struggled to swim 500 yards which is something I used to do in 6 minutes so I’ve been going a few times a week and pushed myself to 600 yards the last few sessions, anyway I want to try for 1000 yards by the end of the year.

        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!

    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.

    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.
