Yesterday I finally had the time to install IodéOS on my Fairphone 5 and even though I had some issues during the installation process (due to Google fuckeries, like encrypting a db for the lock screen selection, not the OS per se), everything else went smooth.
I reinstalled all my apps and micro-managed the permission for those cheeky apps that unfortunately I still need to install (Whatsapp, Telegram).
The OS runs smoothly and doesn't have a single preinstalled app that you can't uninstall and I love this.
In fact I switched my default apps to:
- [Etar (Calendar)](https://f-droid.org/it/packages/ws.xsoh.etar/)
- [GCam by BigKaka (Camera)](https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-BigKaka/)
- [Collabora Online (Office)](https://www.collaboraonline.com/blog/collabora-office-on-mobiles-supporting-password-protected-documents-and-available-on-f-droid/)
So far all the banking/payment apps are working, with the exception of Satispay.
I'm still on the verge about using Magic Earth as my default map app, because I heard there were some fuckeries about it but I hadn't read anything yet, so the choice will be between that, coMap (suggested by IodéOS) and OsmAnd~
One step at a time

Went hiking yesterday and although I couldn't use my drone for some aerial photos due to the high wind on top, I quite enjoyed the trip to Monte Di Stagno.
It's a zone I know very well but going through the same trails makes me discover new things every time.
Plus, I had to test new equipment (new boots, new nose :D )

Alex: "Yeah I've seen a few during the last trek, they are very cool indeed. Maybe someday I'll get a dog to accompany me through the mountains"

Wife: "Yeah but you couldn't do that with a sausage dog, you'd have to carry it in your backpack"

Oh FFS.
Today I received a mail from Mountain Maps, yet another hiking map platform, heavily sponsored here in Italy, to inform me that they, cue for drum rolls here, decided to create an AI assistant in-app.
----
Here's the text of the mail:
Headline: MIA is born: the first AI assistant dedicated to the mountains
Body Text: After months of intense work, I am proud to present MIA, an artificial intelligence assistant that will answer all your questions about the mountain universe.
Call to Action: Use it in preview: MIA is available for Premium users. MIA is available with the new app update only for Premium users like you. This is a Beta version, therefore not definitive: we need your help in this phase to improve it, fix bugs and errors.
----
Let me be clear.
The app is far from being complete, it's missing most of the QoL functionalities and still doesn't have a web UI to help plan a route with precision.
BUT it has now an AI assistant. Which, I won't use, even though I bought a Premium lifetime license back when they started developing it, because hiking and planning a route is far too complex and dangerous to let AI do that for me.
I'm also sad that AI was nowhere to be found in their initial roadmap and now they swayed picking up a function that might be even dangerous for people, maybe to get more funds or whatever.

Hoboy, we decided to go back to Croce dell'Alpe next Sunday and now they are expecting to have ~50 cm of snow (around 20-ish Inches for non metric system users) tonight.

Hiking is also about getting the best of any weather. Yes, a sunny day is good but what about resting with mud/snow or climbing to the peak and seeing the clouds below?!

I'm afraid I could have hit a hard spot in my journey into photography.
I've been feeling a bit disconnected with my photographer's eye and that resulted in not using my camera so much, as well as not snapping photos.
It's like watching something with foggy eyes.
I'm quite sure this is due to some internal conflict I'm currently experiencing but I truly hoped this wouldn't get to the outside too.

Good reasons that convince me to go to the office:
- it's 2,5 km from my home, meaning forth and back it's 5 km/day
- it's on the 6th floor, meaning that I can go up and down for 6 floors
- free coffee
- my backpack is usually around 3~4 kg
- we have a comfy couch where I can lay while reading during lunch break
Reasons why I don't want to go to the office:
- people
- more people
- the coffee is awful
- again, people
- oh jeez, too many folks
- in the most polluted and trafficked part of Bologna
It all boils down to get me moving and doing a bit of rucksacking/cardio while trying to boost my really low tolerance towards other humans.

IF the next week my wife's check up (she got ran over by a car and broke her foot) will go well I MIGHT be able to hike during the weekend - only Sunday, only half day.
I'd never tell her because it's not her fault, but I feel like I've died inside a tiny bit during this month without hiking.
I went running or at the gym every day so it's not the exercise I've missed, it's the...I can't express it very well, but it could be the religiously delving into a forest, reaching a summit or being enthralled by the little things of the nature.
It's all of that. The preparation, the execution and the "after-taste", knowing I was there, up on a mountain.
Fingers crossed. I truly miss hiking.

A Coursera AI-generated test for one of the modules in my learning program gave me:
- a question with no valid answers (although I selected the correct one from the official documentation);
- a question allowing multiple answers, all of five valid;
So far, not so good.

I love that e/OS comes with a wall of shame section for those apps that are too happy to use trackers.
Habitica is the number one in my list.
Great app, bad behavior.

That shiver running down your spine when you create a new tunnel on WireGuard for your new device.
No? Is it just me?
Too bad.

So far I've been able to install 4/5 of the banking apps I use on my Fairphone 5 and got through the switching device process.
I'm not sure about the remaining app, as I'm not really sure I want to keep my account in that bank. Might as well port the app over and then close the account in the next few weeks.
So far, so good.

I...I had a good night of sleep? Not great but good nonetheless.
What is this feeling?!?!

So, a kiddo in the gym spoke to me like I were some kind of middle age man.
I couldn't even lift my age after that.
Sad Alex is sad.

I'm still not feeling at 100% so tonight I went down hard with anti-inflammatory, because I can't stop and catch my breath in this period.
20 days more to go and hunkering down, all the while trying to not be fueled by pure rage and negative thoughts.
C'est la vie.

Today I found my first "fitness influencer" while hitting the gym during lunch break.
Tripod, phone camera and hogging the machine for a period between 1 hour and infinity, everything checks out.
Of course they didn't ask anyone for the recording consensus (because, you know, I may or may not be using a machine that get recorded), this is such a bad attitude and definitely part of the toxic gym culture.

TBT, I sucked in preparing the bulletproof coffee.
I'll have to do better next time 😅

Hm. What about a bulletproof coffee before gym?

Studying for a new certification about GenAI and LLMs and I've already risked of falling asleep twice.
This is going to be tough.

I sense that in the next year we will have to deal with so many exit strategies from our customers currently using AWS, Azure, GCP etc.
I have a headache already.

And here I was, hoping that the world would have learnt after 20 years of Berlusconi in Italy to avoid voting for the same party and being delusional.
Guess I was wrong, again.

Just ran 5k to get my heart pumping (and the coffee cycled) and now I'm off to work (after a mandatory shower, of course).
Powernap when?!

This morning workout:
- lift mug with coffee
- inhale and sip coffee
- lower mug with coffee
- exhale letting out a content sigh
3x15 rep

My Garmin watch notified me I earned the badge "Sleep expert" but we all know that it's BS.

Also, if you're working as a PM / PMO or you have to schedule a call and have to decide between scheduling at 6-7 PM or another day, well...
There's a special place in hell for those who regularly go for 6-7 PM.
Ultra-hell for choosing 7-8 PM.
Just sayin'.

Haven't been able to meditate in a while and this is starting to affect me.
I'll try to do so earlier, as it seems that late afternoon is now one of the most requested slot for a meeting (EW!)

This is me waiting for the arrival of several couriers with lots of new hiking equipment today.
I got a bit lazy and bought them online this time instead of going to actual physical stores, but in my defence I already know the brand/materials.
Also, remember that the palla is my spirit guide.

In hindsight, eating half a jar of jalapeños yesterday with a vegan birger wasn't a brilliant idea.
But damn, they were so good.

I may be under a curse, but ever since I moved in our new house (3 year-ish ago, a few meters from where we lived) I haven't been able to keep a plant alive.
I love having plants and flowers around (as much as the two Satan's beasts - cats - allow) and I had no problem whatsoever with the same plants/types before the moving.
I feel this is really dragging me down in the very back of my mind. I may also have started going down the frustration route as I started looking for extremely technical explanations (like sensors reading the sun's exposition etc.)
Having one of your skill/habit cut off and not finding the reason why that happened sucks, hard.

Everything can be dunked in cappuccino if you're brave enough.
