Another thing I love: I have a zillion pairs of headphones, ear buds, every different name there is for things that push sound into your ears. Some of the things I have are super high quality. Some less so. I have all the Apple things. I have at lest two things that are very high-end and have amazing sound.
But here's what I use almost every single time: #Shokz #OpenRunPro2 (https://shokz.com/pages/openrunpro2). I use the nice ones, but they're all good. You could spend under $80 and still be perfectly happy.
They're good, they're comfortable, they stay on, they let me hear what's going on around me (if I don't want that, I can just add ear plugs), they last a long time on a charge, they work with my phone (and the sound of my voice on the other end is great), they don't interfere with a hat, they're very resistant to water and dust. It's not the amazing sound of $1,500 in-ear monitors, but it's great sound and plenty good enough for me.
Everybody's requirements and likes are unique and when it comes to things like this, very very important. These might not check enough, or maybe even any, of your boxes. But maybe you didn't know they existed, and now you do.

I just switched from #Comcast to #Metronet. Fiber instead of coax. Still 1G down, but now symmetric. One third the price. And the people are all nice. Of course Comcast didn’t want me to go! I couldn’t cancel through customer service, I had to speak to a "retention specialist". She tried to get me to stay by offering exactly what Metronet is giving me for exactly the same price, but adding in a mobile line (why would I need that?)
I was kind, but I pretty much ended the discussion with this: if you give me twice the bandwidth, symmetric, at half the cost of Metronet, I’ll consider whether that makes it worth putting up with your poor reliability and customer service.
They had their monopoly, and now they don’t.

Yesterday I drank a profoundly bad cup of #Coffee. My wife asked what was bad about it. The taste! She asked if it was bitter. It wasn’t. It just tasted bad. It didn’t taste _like_ something else I could compare it to. It was just awful.
The roaster is terrific. I’ve had many different coffees from them I absolutely loved. It was this specific batch. I will continue to drink coffee from #Anodyne. All my coffee comes to me through #TradeCoffee. I highly recommend them to fellow coffee drinkers.

1/2 I played the alto #Saxophone growing up. Originally it was about being in band where all my friends were. I chose sax because it they had one and it looked easier to carrier than everything else. I sucked for at least a year. To sit next to the second chair player (a cutie) I needed to be better: move up the ranks. #Mania helped a lot. Over the summer (leading to high school) I practiced all day (meaning at least eight hours, maybe more), everyday. I played from songbooks. I played to the radio. I just played. When placement for the high school bands rolled around I ended up first chair, ahead even of the seniors. She also ended up first chair … of the concert band. I was first chair of the symphonic band. We weren’t even in the same class. (I won’t go into sitting next to the first chair French horn player, who was kind enough not to notice my crush).
During this time I moved from playing just to manage where I was sitting to playing because I liked what I was making. The music and sound became more important to me than anything else. There were saxophone players I wanted to play like, but that’s not what I wanted to sound like. I wanted to sound like Annie Lennox, Aretha Franklin, there are new names today. I wanted to sound like a French horn. But I did want to play like some of my saxophone heroes. Near the very top, if not the top, was #JayBeckenstein, the front man for #SpyroGyra. I was well under twenty but saw him at Blossom Music Center at least once, possibly more. My friend and I devoured their music. He made me want to play the saxophone.

Got #Fiber installed. Still have #Comcast until I’m sure of everything. #Metronet Is my new provider. Everyone there great so far. Installation: A1. One hiccup: they are Carrier Grade NAT. That means I don’t get to control anything on the ONT (the fiber equivalent to a cable modem). Therefore, no port forwarding. Therefore, I can’t just SSH in like I’ve been doing. Just learned about other options from @jammcq research for our latest episode of @RuntimeArguments all about VPNs (and related). Installing Tailscale on my Mac was nothing. Maybe three minutes total. Tried at least three different ways to get it running on my 24.04 Kubuntu system but I still don’t have it. Jim said it was easy for him but the two of us couldn’t find any meaningful difference between our two systems. I’ll try more tonight maybe.

I have used the #Kinesis #Advantage360Pro for at least a couple of years now. It is without question my favorite keyboard. I love everything about it. I love the separation. I love #ZMK. I love how I've programmed it. This is a great keyboard.
But somehow, I use it wrong and I can't seem to fix my bad behavior. I lean on it in a funny way that hurts my left wrist. It's not carpal tunnel. It's some kind of tendonitis. Yes, I've seen a doctor about it. Strangely, typing on a nice flat keyboard (like the Apple Magic Keyboard with TouchID) does _not_ hurt.
I know it's me. I love this keyboard so much. I don't want to switch; but I haven't been able to change (or even positively identify) my bad behavior. But I think I just have to put the Kinesis away and move back to the Apple keyboard full-time.
This makes me _so_ sad.

I learned from a video my friend @jammcq sent me (https://www.facebook.com/share/v/16ycMqFSBe/?mibextid=wwXIfr #DrRachelBarr) that there are things they can do for you, possibly, if you have #Parkinsons (The video isn't about Parkinson's. It's just mentioned.) One of the possible treatments is #LDopa.
Evidence points to me having medication-induced Parkinson's (I'm not an expert, so this is not a diagnosis). Possibly related symptoms include shaking hands, poor balance (some related falling), a few other things. The shaking hands is very annoying. Worse for me, even, than the balance issues. The shaking absolutely affects my typing, especially typing passwords; and interferes greatly with other activities that are important to me. I don't drink (especially since being on a GLP1), but I'm kinda terrified of being pulled over and given a field-sobriety test (Probably unrealistic as I haven't been pulled over in decades).
Months ago I scheduled an appointment for myself with a (new to me) #Neurologist. That appointment is finally coming up. Hopefully I will have more answers then. Boy it would be fantastic if my hands stopped shaking.

#Atuin is working great for me (especially with a few configuration tweaks) everywhere and in every #Shell except in complex commands (i.e., commands with pipes and or sub-shells) in Git Bash for Windows #GitBashForWindows. My problem here probably has something to do with the Bash preexec hook or whatever it's called; and it might be fixable.
Here are my tweaks:
```toml
store_failed = true
invert = true # I think this value is a change from the default
search_mode_shell_up_key_binding = "prefix"

I have a #Caldigit TS4. I researched. I (want but) do not need a TS5+. Yes, my Mac has Thunderbolt 5, but it just doesn’t matter. Beautiful. A shame I just don’t need it.

I have added #Atuin to my list of "always installed extra tools". It was suggested to me by @LovesTha and I think @b0rk mentioned it but I can’t seem to find the reference. It works in all my shells and on all my platforms. It’s better than what I was doing before. Does everything I have been doing and more. Is fast. Doesn’t get in the way. Has a good, maybe great, UI. Does a job that is incredibly important, at least to me, that I do very very often. (Finding and executing a previous command)
I do still need one thing though (and I’ll figure it out or else submit a patch). I often go straight into using my favorite editor on the selected command rather than just having the insertion point on the command line. I do that with fc. Which leads me to a problem in #Zsh unrelated to atuin. In #Bash, Esc-V took me from the command line into $EDITOR ( #HelixEditor for me ). Zsh doesn’t use #Readline. I don’t know how to do that and I really want to.

@tshepang For shells, my daily driver has been #Bash for decades. I try to always be using as modern a version as possible. I still use Bash especially for shell **scripts**. My #Dotfiles are set up to use either (https://github.com/wolf/dotfiles. In particular, see the `shells` directory). Git Bash for Windows, of course, forces the issue for me at work. During my Bash time ) and now) I occasionally try other things. For instance #Xonsh (which just wasn’t for me). Shells can do amazing things but understanding shell scripts is a rarer skill than understanding more popular languages. That’s one reason why, if a shell script gets too complicated, I’ll just write it in Python.

My friend @jammcq and I are very different (you’ve heard us together on the #Podcast @RuntimeArguments), though we both do roughly the same thing: we’re both #Programmers. A big difference between us is the kinds of #SoftwareTools we use. I’m constantly trying new things to see if they might help. He generally sticks to the tools that already work for him, and upgrades only when something new is "better enough".
As an example: I use fd, rg, and exa. For him, find, grep, and ls are plenty good enough. And I agree! I get something out of the extra features of these tools, but they’re just not "better enough" to make a difference in his workflow.
Usually the new things I try aren’t even "better enough" for me. His bar is even higher. I have sold him on a few things, here and there. Now he uses #Git, #1Password, and fc; maybe others. We both want the same thing: we want to get more work done. We both project when thinking about the other’s style. He thinks I’m wasting time trying all the things I try. I think he could be going so much faster if he had some of the extra powers these newer tools give me.
It’s hard not to see things through your own lens. A neat thing about our relationship is that I can try things, and then if they pass muster with me they can sometimes become a possibility for him. And every once in a while, they **are** "better enough".
P.S. Some things I’m trying right now are #Zsh, the #HelixEditor, and managing my #SSH (private) keys in 1Password. I’m almost certain Helix is not going to become a part of his workflow! #Xonsh, #Zed, and #Kakoune weren’t better enough for me. I never even considered suggesting them to him!
