I did not have vestibular neuritis and/or full blown BPPV on my bingo sheet, but here we are.

Spent yesterday lying on the couch, trying not to move my head at all, and quite nauseous. At least I can say that today is already better, I can move again without wanting to puke.

Probably a side effect of the cold I had recently. I'm somewhat optimistic I'll get it managed quickly thanks to a lot of experience with vertigo.

But JFC, this year is really something... 😕

Finally managed to get #bouldering again this morning. Way to sporadic for my taste currently, but with health and sleep issues, and other stuff getting in the way constantly, I'm proud of every time I manage to make it there...

But oof, lost a lot of strength. Expected, but still, yikes.

So... um meine Stimmung angesichts des dauernden Slops um mich herum wieder etwas hoch zu bringen, sind jetzt zwei @nprofile1q... Karten unterwegs. Hat Spaß gemacht! Bin gespannt, ob und wann ich dann auch eine Tauschkarte bekomme 😊

Nur meine Postkartenoptionen hier sind etwas meh... hab spontan den Fotodrucker und Postkarten-Aufkleber geschnappt, um was schönes zu haben 😅

Things I enjoy as a maintainer: implementing features, fixing bugs, collaborating with people, learning, improving

Things I hate but now constantly find myself doing: interacting with slop bots from others who refuse to talk with me themselves

Things newly added today: disputing slop security reports from slop CNAs who reply to mails with the output of slop bots. At least successfully. But F*CK this reality.

Long time OctoPrint contributor and friend Jacopo wrote about his experience contributing to OctoPrint & I just have to share this!

Really love his conclusion!

> Working on OctoPrint has shown me sides of open source I never could have imagined when I first got involved: how much invisible work goes into keeping a project alive, how much care an ecosystem of third-party plugins needs to stay healthy, and how much everything ultimately depends on the people behind it.
