I like to work with my hands. That may mean hammering out solutions to complex problems in #Python or #Rust, building things in my shop, or spinning yarn to knit something warm. You’ll likely see some of all of that here. By day (and sometimes night) I keep >13k nodes and services alive in the Electric Vehicle sector.

Got outside and did some more work with my hands. It’s hotter than hell, and electing to work with hand tools only made it harder but more satisfying. I’ll finish this bench tomorrow most likely.
Got my SpinOlution Pollywog spinning wheel today and immediately got started with some merino top I got as a sample in a larger order. Spun a single and then plied it back on itself. Will ply the two spools of singles I did on my EEW Nano next.
Finished my first plied handspun yarn today. 90% of the singles were spun on my drop spindle, and the plying was done on me EEW Nano. A proper wheel is likely in my future.
@purism is there a rundown of the various boot options for Librem laptops? I’d like to preorder the newly announced Librem 14 (thanks in advance for the RJ45 jack), but the options are many and I’m not even sure which one I should select.

In honor of the @purism #Librem14 launch I wrote a personal post to share my perspective as someone who backed the original Librem 13 crowdfunding campaign and still use it daily: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-14-thoughts-from-a-librem-13-early-adopter/

The spindle filled up so I wound a cake and started back up. I’ll ply the two together when I’m done. Also made a second spindle for my fiancée
Got started on some new yarn from this roving made of huacaya alpaca and zwartble sheep wool.
Took the handcrafted game to another level with some oak I cut after Hurricane Harvey, sawed to planks, dried, and planed into 3/4” stock. Made a Turkish Drop spindle and started learning to spin yarn from fibers.
Spent the weekend in the shop building a stand for a friend’s massive geode. It all worked out quite well.
A little less than a year into learning to play the violin and I’ve stepped up from my beginner outfit. Very pleased.
First post: getting started on finally adding a sleep platform to the bed of my Tacoma
