Time management. Between the job and three little kids, there hasn't been much time at all for any leisure time activity in 2023, unfortunately.

The best book I've read on the topic is "Four Thousand Weeks: Time and How to Use It by Oliver Burkeman".

I do realize the irony of recommending that you set aside time to read a book.

I was running with the dogs and fell forward and stress fractured both elbows (using hands to not land on face). That was a couple months ago, so I'm mostly healed, but I want to improve both flexibility and strength. At 40, I didn't think this kind of injury from a fall was a thing quite yet.

Go slowly. I started stretching my hamstrings a few weeks ago to work on flexibility, ramped it up too fast, and now I have lower back pain :(

Had similar issues. Not necessarily that you went too fast, but that you didn’t also give attention to your back and abs. Weak abs can cause back pain.

Synology NAS, docker containers, and Tailscale (or headscale). Trust me on this.

> Synology NAS Which one to get since there is a whole bunch of options/models ?

I recommend any of the plus series models (units with + at the end of the name; ex: DS1522+). They typically have better processors and support more features than their non-plus counterparts.

Thx. I use LaTex occasionally but have to stick with pp. Looking to improve my non technical communication skills.

That's why I mentioned Beamer's docs. There is a very good tool-agnostic chapter in them.

Looked it up. You mean the chapter „Guidelines for Creating Presentation“?

Both for marketable and fun skills: I've started working on learning Spring Boot, Microservices, Docker, and Kafka. I'm hoping to understand how to use these tools over the next year. I'm no stranger to distributed computing, I've just never used these tools before so I'm hoping I can learn how to combine these together with a personal project.
