Hi and welcome! 👋

I'm Gina aka foosel. I'm a nerd, full-time open source maintainer and creator of OctoPrint ("the snappy web interface for your 3d printer"), and in my free time I also happen to game (video games and boardgames), bake bread (since before the pandemic even!) or go bouldering.

Since I could no longer use my arms very well, we decided to give the balance tracks we've done a TON of times already another try - but with a twist. Closed eyes, instructions from the onlookers.

Can fully recommend doing that, completely new perspective & no fear of heights 😂

Today is tuesday, so today I went #bouldering again.

We once again ended up in the new section with a ton of new challenges for us. Managed to finish one I couldn't last time, and a bunch of those again that I could. Couldn't grip anymore after a blue 3 😅

I just spent a lot of money... #newEBikeOwner

Friday means #bouldering! We got to check out a freshly renovated and remade area and spent the whole session there 😁 Very challenging climbs, I only got some 1, 2 and one 3 under the belt, but now got some new goals there 😊 But: way too hot and humid today 🥵

Cut my own hair again. Same style (basic ponytail), only shorter. The heat built-up in my neck area due to all that isolating hair became unbearable today while climbing.

Could have gone shorter still, but didn't want to risk cutting it too short 😅

Obviously an angle grinder or a very skilled lockpick with specialized tooling will still make more or less short work with everything in this picture. So it's also crucial where I'll lock it up, and that I lock it to something strong.

As some additional explanation why these... That Kryptonite one got a good review by the Lock Picking Lawyer, the Hiplok has a massive AF noose chain to chain the bike to stuff, and two locks from diff. manufacturers, one big, one small, to combat/discourage specialised thieves.

E-Bike acquisition preparations: Now owning 5.3kg more of bike security in the shape of a Kryptonite New York Standard lock and a Hiplock E-DX. And soon also a Bike Bean tracker and an insurance policy.
