True story - I moved from Scotland to Perth when I was 6. A few months later I visited Tranby House, one of the oldest buildings in Perth at around 1830. I remember thinking to myself that our house in Scotland before we moved was older than that (circa 1800)
I prefer Lemmy over Mastodon for the same reason I preferred Reddit (pre-APIpocalypse) over Twitter (pre-Musk) - the ability to subscribe to specific communities with similar interests. Try as I might in Mastodon with selective subscriptions to certain posters I still find myself scrolling through stuff I have no interest in hoping for a nugget of interest.
I was playing with Silverblue but had to switch out because it didn't have DisplayLink drivers or a flatpak for VMWare Horizon which meant I couldn't connect to work
Electric Mountain bike - i am over 50 and had not rode regularly since my teens. I borrowed a MTB from a friend last year and struggled to make any progress until I picked up a secondhand e-MTB. Since then I have been averaging around 150km/week and my stamina has notably improved.
PC - been a PC guy since 1989 and could not picture life without one. I'm an inveterate tinkerer and have built and rebuilt dozens over the years. I currently have a gaming desktop dual-booting Ubuntu and Win11 and a laptop running Ubuntu plus a couple of servers.
iPad - for years I was an Android guy but a couple years back I traded a spare laptop to my niece for her iPad (she wanted to learn coding) and was blown away by the user experience. Since then I have gone all in with iPhone, apple watch, and an old Macbook Air.
I use calibre to manage my collection. Calibre creates a folder per author and a sub-folder per book. I also have separate Calibre libraries for fiction, non-fiction and comics.
Impossible Mission on the Commodore 64. The running animation was mind blowing for the time
