I joined a climbing gym after learning how to climb, belay and rappel for a week. I love learning knots, so that’s fun, but also all the terminology and techniques. Plus there’s a whole social aspect to it (climbers tend to be pretty friendly). Turning out to be a healthy and exciting new hobby!

Also @fool I remember learning to whistle as a kid–my dad was slightly annoyed he had shown me how to do it because I wouldn’t stop whistling the main themes from Indiana Jones and Star Wars

I’m glad to see this is still around: https://exercism.org/

helped me learn when I was starting out 7-8 years ago

Don’t know if this will help assuage your fears: https://www.techradar.com/news/mullvads-no-log-policy-proven-after-police-raid

I’ve used Mullvad for years, and from what I know, they store almost nothing – only your randomly generated account number. If you are paying using an anonymous method that’s even less to go on.

Endless Sky for me

Neovim Is a highly customizable, modal text editor program. Probably no what you’re looking for as far as terninal emulators go, but I use it daily as a near-IDE on desktop. Look into LazyVim for an easy way to get started.

I can second KDE connect–use it between my phone and Manjaro. Can’t speak to the other applications because I don’t have a use-case for many of their functions on a smart phone myself.
