  3. 🎨Hay quien piensa que a partir de cierta edad uno ya tiene que sentarse a verlas venir, pero qué gran error.
    La pasión es como un motor que, si lo mantienes bien engrasado, te da años de vida extra.
    Da igual que sea meter las manos en la tierra para que crezcan unas flores, perderte entre pinceles o estar tres horas dándole vueltas a una jugada de ajedrez.
    Lo importante no es lo que haces, sino esa chispa que se te enciende por dentro.

    Es una maravilla cuando encuentras algo que te hace perder la noción del tiempo.
    Ese momento en el que el reloj deja de existir y solo estás tú con tus hilos, tus fotos o tus libros.
    Esas ganas de levantarte por la mañana porque tienes un proyecto a medias, un capítulo por escribir o una planta que está a punto de brotar.
    Eso es lo que te mantiene joven de verdad, y no las cremas milagrosas.

    Al final, la pasión no entiende de años ni de jubilaciones; solo entiende de curiosidad y de compromiso con uno mismo.
    Porque mientras tengas algo que te apasione, siempre tendrás un motivo para seguir adelante con una sonrisa.
    Y tú, ¿ya has encontrado ese "algo" que te hace olvidar el móvil y disfrutar del ahora?

  5. Time for a fresh #introduction.

    They tell me I’m chronically #trusting and #optimistic 🤜 🤛 . It’s a weakness I feel no need to address.
    After the first 10 years my wife said she wasn’t going to explain my jokes any more 🙅‍♀️ , since I didn’t seem to care if anyone laughed anyway. That was a while back, and our #kids now have the same policy.

    Professionally I’m what happens if a #scientist 🥼 looks at themselves and asks what that’s for. Spoiler: it ended up being about people, and how #technology can make our world better 🌍.
    My last ricochet took me from #digital #economy to the one place that hasn’t been corrupted by capitalism: #space! 🚀 🛰️ 📡 .

    I've become a delocalised European 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇪🇸 who rarely sleeps five nights in the same bed these days. Not even for the fun reason.

    But I came here in the Great Relocation of 2022 to escape from all that, and to hear about your #pets 😻 and #hobbies 🧶
    It’s quiet here, away from the road noise and the shouting. You can hear the birds sing 🐥 🎵

  12. Here are two very different subreddits that I created and administrate.

    This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

    reddit.com/r/OldOpera/

    If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

  17. Roasting coffee again, this one I'm really excited about: this is a gesha variety from the same crop in Peru, one batch dry (also called natural) processed and the other wet (washed) processed. I tried roasting them about the same (as close to City as I can with my clunky drum roaster), so the main difference will be in how they were processed.

    See alt text for my initial take on how well I roasted the two batches. They need to rest and degas before I can brew them and do a side by side tasting.

  20. How to set Inkscape’s default document format to US 8.5x11

    1. open inkscape
    2. Menu: File > Document Properties
    3. Set ‘Format’ to “US Letter”, then close dialog
    4. Menu: File > Save Template
    5. give the template a name, any name will do
    6. check “set as default template”
    7. save

    … and that’s how I decreased the steps in the process of converting parts of midi files into sheet music for great highland bagpipes and tabs for diatonic dombras.

    It’s good to have #hobbies :)

  21. Random insight: Reframing a hobby as a failure because you didn't achieve mastery is like calling a good meal a failure because you eventually got hungry again. #hobbies

  22. So I am making a stamp collection of historical British colonies.

    Its going to contain British colonies but only up to the year that they break off from the British and became independent.

    So Canada will be included but only up to 1874 and Hong Kong will up until 1991.

    Which kinda raises several questions..

    Do I order the folder alphabetically OR in the order that they broke off from the British? 🤔🤔🤔

    because the software is for to say gee
    yt dee ell pee

    It's yt dee ell pee, a good and faithful friend.

    YT continues to up the ante. For "yt-dlp" to work with YT, you need "deno" or a comparable engine now. You also need to redirect through a foreign country [sometimes].

    I'll review the video that you ID'd at a later point. I'm occupied with moving possessions presently. However, I'd be quite interested in videos or channels that should be archived.

    The S/N ratio on YT is low, but there *are* important or entertaining videos of all types. People who see this post are invited to offer more video IDs [or channel links]. Let's save what's worthwhile before AI gobbles up the platform.

    Note, BTW, that a license which you supposedly agree to just by visiting YT isn't #copyright law.

    I'll add that a single low-price USB-3 stick with rotating connector [both USB A and C] can hold literally thousands of videos and it'll plug-in to a Smart TV, a phone, and/or a PC. All in high-resolution. It's quite a change from the VHS tapes of 40 years ago.

    I've been working on such a stick for 2 years now. It has nearly every movie on it that I care to see again, ditto for songs and music videos, and famous or obscure shorts that shouldn't disappear. All in a form factor that is scarcely larger than a thumbnail.

    Illustration: Two of the shorts on my video USB stick, a science video from YT and "Khang's Malt Liquor", which I don't think is on YT. Depending on your web browser, there are multiple ways to expand the image to fullscreen [or 1920 pixels wide].

    Note: If anybody would like to U/L the "Khang's" video to YT, I'll post a link here after I'm settled in to a motel or a new residence.
