In the army they say: “No plan survives first contact with the enemy” I believe, right? I think the same counts for trips abroad. You’ll probably get sick in the first days because of all thr built up stress preparing for it, you will forget something “important” when leaving the airplane, the museum you really wanted to see might be closed that week because of renovations, etc.

What I remember most from my trips are those cafes you stumble upon that afternoon you did not plan anything, that sunset on the edge of the river while walking back to the place you’re staying and the best souvenir is that painting you bought from that friendly guy at that market you came across. So, try to take it slow.

More practical tips: try to follow the local schedule. For instance, in Spain don’t try to eat dinner before 21:00 and in France don’t try to go shopping during lunchtime.

Also, take some emergency food for when you cannot find a nice place to eat that still has a spot for two but you are getting really hangry. A bar of some sorts for instance.

And take pictures, but don’t experience everything through your lense. Also, imagine what you would actually like to view when back home. I only take pictures with people on them and not in any tourist hotspots; I can find enough pictures of those online already.

Enjoy!

I started with HTML and CSS because I liked to build my own useless small websites. Then I noticed it was nice to copy+paste some javascript scripts someone else wrote into them to get some “fun” interactive components. Then I slowly started to make little changes to those scripts and that way slowly learned more and more. It was not the quickest way to learn, but the most fun, because there was little setup necessary (I literally used windows notepad to save files as .html and opened them in my browser) and I could quickly see results.

Since you’re interested in FOSS I assume you use an OS with a nice terminal. You could write some bash scripts to do simple tasks for you maybe? (Maybe write a script that removes old downloads from your downloads folder, or something that can delete all files that end in ‘.temp’ (IDK just stupid ideas that could be fun to try to start coding).

Python is a nice option as well, it has a lot of useful options and documentation and gives you very readable code, making it easier to learn good practices!

Just make sure you do something fun and you will learn what’s necessary along the way.

#1 sponsor is Shopify, how does that affect the indepentness?

I’m using pcloud because proton still doesn’t have a way to share folders with other users, so I can’t share my holiday photos with my partner there.

Pcloud works fine. The online interface is not the nicest, but it works.

Step 0: think about what you are really adding to the world

Maybe it’s the first way to filter applicants? Smort!

I don’t want to disagree, but I would like a source to support this claim

I still don’t understand why I should care for a foldable touchscreen phone. Nor for apple products.

Apples?

Approximately 750,000 years ago: early Paleolithic food gatherers in (modern) Kazakhstan, central Asia, discovered sour crab apples growing wild in the forest.

Pretty much the entire internet runs on Linux already.

For personal users I think a stable, well supported, secure and privacy focused version will help. Also, it helps if this is the version your “computer-guy” uses, the guy that you (or your mom) call(s) when your computer is broken.
