Boot bananas work amazingly well for me, but I'm only doing 1-1.5h per session, so YMMV

Sounds very familiar. I've been tracking symptoms (vertigo, headache, tinnitus, nausea, stress and weather changes) for almost half a year now as after half a life of misdiagnosis (BPPV etc) I'm currently suspecting it being a vestibular migraine (got a migraine history) & want to get another check.

Yeah, it sucks. Have had it for 25 years now, mostly it doesn't get in the way/I've got it under control, but there are shitty days sadly.

Finally dared to go #bouldering again but halfway through the session had to stop 🙄 My chronic vertigo has been acting up the past weeks now thanks to weather & stress, and got triggered by the climbing movements. FFS. But at least I got *some* routes done again.

I'm currently learning #Popochiu to create my own adventures in #Godot and I'll have to see how to replicate that control scheme there!

Gina Häußge @foosel.net · 01/09/2025

Also, I played it on the #SteamDeck with the controller input scheme instead of the usual mouse controls and I have to say that was one of the most interesting and well working controller based input schemes I've ever seen in a point-and-click adventure!

Just finished The Drifter. What an amazing point & click adventure that was! Graphics, sound, atmosphere, music, UX just clicked & the story got me hooked instantly. If you like the genre, I can really only recommend getting and playing this, it's worth it! store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/...

I've now created myself a set of custom #Steamdeck action buttons as well, and also went through the steps to make a custom d-pad too. So now my Steamdeck has a nice set of shimmering green buttons 😊

It's Friday, which means I went #bouldering again this morning! Some new routes again, and even though I was extremely tired I managed to get a good workout I think 💪

Still in recharging mode (this vacation really was extremely necessary and almost too late it seems) but still went #bouldering this morning! My arms ended up fully pumped way too early for some reason, but still managed to do some that required grip strength 💪

Hah, that's awesome! If I ever find myself in The Hague I'll definitely have to check out Nirvana! 😊 Just this year a new gym opened up in a repurposed church about 45min away from here, Boulderchurch: maps.app.goo.gl/8LGESeZWqVZT... Haven't been yet though, it's still on the to-do list ^^

That was a really nice catch there and I love how close you keep your hips to the wall! 👍👏 Also: is that gym in an old church or something? That window there in the background looks so fancy 😅

I've posted some of my pictures from #why2025 over at my Fedi account: chaos.social/@foosel/1150... This was the first event like that where I took a proper camera with me (Lumix GX80 and a couple of lenses) and it certainly won't be the last.

Still recovering from WHY and work, but still went #bouldering this morning. Ooof, what a heat in the hall, even at 7am! 🥵 But I still managed to get some routes done, some old, some new, and it felt good to work out again!

I'm still in full blown recharging mode, but I want to share that one of my (admittedly many) personal highlights of my past few days at #why2025 was meeting @erikaheidi.bsky.social in real life and nerding out about climbing and 3d printing! 😄

Thanks everyone for the kind words words when I was laid off from GitHub in May. I promptly shut my computer and took a few lovely months of vacation ☺️ Now I’m back and starting interviewing! So if you’re looking for an expert in building community-first programs, now’s the time to let me know ☎️

To WHY!? Omg, if so we need to meet! My buddy and I will bring our data gnomes (datagnome.de) and deploy all 10 across the camp site 😄

Vacation mode: on Some desperately needed time off is starting now. Looking forward to @why2025.bsky.social and some rest before and after 😊

My home office just got an upgrade I've been thinking about for more than half a decade 😬 I can now not only stand while working (electric standing desk bought back in 2015), no, I can also now WALK while working thanks to a shiny new walking pad 😊

Gina Häußge @foosel.net · 25/07/2025

And another #bouldering session has been done! 💪 As this year so far has been extremely tricky with regards to minor injuries, vertigo and such, I'm proud of every single one I manage to do!

FINALLY back on the wall! Thanks to some injuries and EuroPython it's been three weeks since the last #bouldering session, but today I finally made it back. Very happy with the session too, of 18 routes I topped 16 😊 Probably will fight the Soreness of Doom this time tomorrow though 😅

I just swapped the batteries in my Aranet4 CO2 monitor for the first time, not because they ran out, but because I have a conference coming up and didn't want to risk that happening THEN. I got that device on October 27th 2023. So that means it made it almost two years on one charge. Impressive AF!

Gina Häußge @foosel.net · 04/07/2025

Vielen Dank für diese liebe Nachricht! 😊

Absolutely, feeling the same.

I'll think about it, still plenty of time until all of this is ready anyhow 😅 So much testing and error handling needed... And maybe I'll just have to get backwards incompatible anyhow and then it's clear ^^

A buddy suggested that too, but I'm still unsure about it since "look at this, cool new features" isn't really a reason for a new major version under semantic versioning (which OctoPrint follows). I might still have to become backwards incompatible though, and that would mean 2.x. We'll see :)

100

Once done and shipped with 1.12.0, this should enable compatibility with plenty of the new printers on the market, and the changes I've made to OctoPrint will also allow the development of additional connector plugins for other printers with so far incompatible protocols already on the market.

120

This went faster than expected thanks to all that refactoring that I started shortly before x-mas, and I'm incredibly happy that the architecture approach I had worked so well & actually makes adding support for a different connection type this easy! Plenty of bugs to fix ofc, but it's ALIVE!

Gina Häußge @foosel.net · 02/07/2025

Have been spending the week so far working on a plugin for #OctoPrint's new comm layer that will be part of 1.12.0 & as of earlier today I'm able to print on Moonraker enabled Klipper based printers😁

Even though today is probably going to be a way to hot day, I went #bouldering this morning as it finally worked out again that I'd have a bouldering buddy. The gym was quite warm already at 7am, but I still managed to top some new routes.

✅ #Bouldering session (despite having slept like crap and fighting with my chronic vertigo) Slipped and fell off a route I had already done in the past, just as I was reaching the top. Still annoyed by that 😅 Nothing hurt through.

There was an interesting route around the globe that I went for (and topped), and my buddy Romses decided to climb up on the top of the globe first to greet me with the camera, which is how the second picture happened. It's now the picture of our group chat 😬

Today's #bouldering session went better than Wednesday's, somehow I had more energy even though I have a busy week behind me now. I still need to be careful with my finger pulleys, avoiding crimps where I can, and the elbow is still annoying, but things seem to get better.

I just had to adjust the registration guidelines of OctoPrint's plugin repo to explain that a vibe coded plugin that the "author" doesn't understand themselves can't be maintained by them and thus doesn't belong on the official plugin repo, and I really don't like our reality.

Another #bouldering session down, after yet another forced break. This year is really not the best when it comes to my health in general between chronic & other crap - frustrating AF 😒 But I do my best to make it to the gym whenever my body and head play along and consider every session a win!

Foldable backpack! Currently that's a Deuter Wizard Light that's roughly the same age as the Farpoint. Fits a 14" case, so I can also carry my laptop in there. Wouldn't want to go on a hike with it, but for a conference (or carrying sports stuff to a gym) it works great. Folds down to a hand full.
