New blog post: "About my chronic vertigo" 👉 foosel.net/blog/2025-09...

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.

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 💪

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!

This has definitely been also a highlight of my experience at @why2025.bsky.social , lovely to meet Gina and find out we have so much in common 🫶🏻 already thinking about next camp!

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! 😄

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 😊

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 😅

Together with my travel buddy Timothy I'm now also on my way to @europython.eu! For now some waiting at the gate is in order... #europython #europython2025

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!

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.

Dear Every Company: STOP CHARGING PEOPLE FOR AI BULLSHIT THEY DIDN’T ASK FOR, DO NOT WANT, AND SOMEHOW CANNOT OPT OUT OF. Your bad choices are not our problem. Just stop it. Backtrack. I promise we won’t make too much fun of you. FFS. Stop it.

✅ #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.

Well, I for one know which T-Shirt I'll be wearing when I go watching this 😊 youtube.com/watch?v=kdlF... #Spaceballs2

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!

For the past few days at @pyconit.bsky.social I got to hang out with Jacopo Tediosi, who has helped me a lot in improving OctoPrint's security over the past year. It's always great when something like this happens!

Travel donkey Timothy is having a blast at @pyconit.bsky.social and even got granted his own badge! Look how proud he looks! 😊 Huge thanks to the friendly staff at the registration desk who granted this wish, and to all the staff really for all their hard work! 👏💚

This #bouldering session was powered by @pyconit.bsky.social ^^

My strong genAI/LLM skepticism is slowly but steadily turning into full on hate the more slop and enshittification I see.

I've let a professional shorten my built-in gravity indicator 😂 Exactly two years of growth now since the last cut, it really was about time, it started to annoy me greatly.

On a more positive note, I went #bouldering again this morning. Halfway through the session I fell off a route and hurt my left wrist somewhat, but it's already much better. I was also able to still continue until the end. As my partner would say "Don't break Gina!" 😅

I got a small taste of the zombie apocalypse today thanks to a partial power outage at the supermarket* 😬 I have to say, taking care of my groceries with a flashlight was actually kind of fun 😄 * Coolers and POS still working, all lights out though
