I've spent the whole week walking through the forests, mountains and seasides. I took shower and washed in mountain rivers, swam in cozy bays, was chilling in hammock and reading a book, cooked on the tiny 25g titanium gas stove.

No rush, no tasks, no responsibilities. Found a water, found a place to sleep, have enough food left - good. I went through the memories, thought about past a future, lived in the moment. It was really good.

Studies, dayjob, competitions, someones birthday, whatever. I have never had time solely for myself. This one was for me.

I didn't get enlightened or something, but it was wonderful. I wish more people could have an opportunity to do the similiar things and live there lives.

ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 10 30th Anniversary Edition with Japanese Keyboard. This is a present from my mom for my 30th birthday.

Runs smoothly, however it can be hot in some situations. I've built 6.10 kernel and updated libcamera in Guix repo, but wecam still doesn't work yet. I've put 2tb ssd (a brithday present from myself) from my previous laptop into it and heavily customized the keyboard, swapped a few keycaps, moved right part of the layout 1 column to the right, added a few layers and remappings. It hugely reduced the pain in my wrists, very happy with it.

For the last five years instead of changing phone I just update the battery once in 1-2 years. During the one of such refreshes of the phone, the battery exploded and burned the screen. The repair foreman found a new display and now I have a white pixel3 instead of black one :) The full story is here:
