I live at home and am gonna get a job. Despite our President here, life so far is OK for me. However, I do wanna see the world and at least travel to Japan, Norway, Sweden, or the Netherlands

    Norway: Pretty chill, at least in my corner of the country; squeezed in between three mountains and a fjord.

    My biggest concern these days is that I was supposed to go down to Saudi Arabia for some work stuff, but that’s been put on hold due to… stuff you may have heard of…

    The news cycle is kind of repetitive because of a douchebag who is related to royalty is on trial. Nobody cares, lock him up if he’s found guilty, that’s all. I guess it’s a sign that there’s not much newsworthy happening.

    On a more personal level, I’m waiting for my meshtastic radios to arrive so I can put up some routers on nearby summits and see if I can reach the next tiny town over. No reason other than toying around with it, really.

    With geology like this, I have no idea how they manage to supply gigabit internet to my house. But I guess once you’re used to digging tunnels for basic infrastructure, running a fiber isn’t that big of a deal. My basement homelab enjoys the results either way.

    Day-to-day life isn’t exciting. But it’s safe and secure; the good kind of boring.

      Ditto, same experience in Oslo.

      Boring feels like the only “right” thing these days, with Trump and Putin doing their things.

      The media and politicians seem to take the Epstein-files seriously and prosecute, and I personally don’t really notice any difference if the right or the left hold the government.

      Life feels pretty good, tbh.

        The only difference I’ve noticed between left and right is whether that place is officially referred to as Majorstuen or Majorstua. As a state certified bygdetulling who used to live there, it is my firm belief that the latter is correct. This is a hill I will certainly not die on, so whatever…

      I’d really like to visit sometime. I’ve been studying Norwegian (I’m roughly on the border of A2 and B1) and read the news for practice which is exactly as you point out, heh.

      I have fiber in rural Japan as well, surrounded by mountains on 3 sides and the ocean on the other.

        USA is a big place and most of it is quiet, safe, and boring. I live here, and life is very boring and quiet. Which I like.

      Men kult! Vart köpte du dina Meshtasticradios?

      Jag bor med i fjell og fjordlandskap så tenkte prøve setta upp på lokala fjelltopparna.

      Har du tips till instanser på Lemmy/fediverse accounts att følja før att komma in och børja med Mestastic?
