But at latitudes 55 to 60, days are really very short in midwinter, so wind and waste wood are the likely candidates in future - after oil shale leaves the scene, but before synthetic gas becomes feasible.

I was wondering exactly this - the Baltic countries are quite far to the north, so the feasibility of solar energy must be bordering on questionable there. Thank you.

My solution is to use slightly smaller sock sizes, so that they are always stretched tightly around my foot, and there is minimum movement between the sock and my skin.

But also, correct shoe for your foot shape, so that everything is tight and snug in there, instead of moving all around - especially around toes, but also the heel.

I typically only get tiny blisters on longer runs - that’s 40km or more for me. But that happens regardless of whether my feet get drenched or not. Of course, everyone’s feet are different, so you have to find what works for you. :)

I agree as well, running through creeks, puddles, or even melting snow sludge without a care can be so liberating and enjoyable.

Or like last week, I went for a run shortly after a rain, and parts of my chosen route were through tall grass and bushes which obscured the path to knee height. My legs had to push through the growth, and all the water on the stalks ended on my knees and shins, leaked down towards the socks and eventually into the shoe. Within five minutes, my feet were as wet as if I had dipped them under water directly, making wet sounds with every step. No waterproof shoe design would be able to protect against that! :)

Years ago, I read somewhere that professional trail runners, when choosing shoes, do not look at how waterproof they are, but rather how well the water flows out of them.

Then I suggest adding https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ to your mix of news sources. Sometimes we need to balance out all the click-seeking negative-only news sources.

The language choice was because Ladybird started as a component of SerenityOS, which is also written in C++. With this separation, they are free to gradually introduce other language(s) into the codebase, and maybe eventually replace C++ entirely, piece by piece.

In Hackernews thread about this, the head maintainer mentioned that they have been evaluating several languages already, so we’ll see what the future brings.

In the meantime, let’s try to be mature about it, what do you say?

That’s a web rendering engine, not a web browser application. You need a lot of stuff other than the engine to make a browser.

You shouldn’t have any sloshing if you suck all the air out. I’m mentioning this because to my surprise, a lot of people, even experienced runners do not realize that iscan option, and were used to running with their water sloshing around as they run. :)

As a longtime Debian Stable user, I can attest that gaming on it works just fine, whether via Proton or natively.

It was rough at the first half year or so after Steam Linux client launched where system libraries were simply too old and one had to smuggle in libc from Ubuntu, but that got solved by the next Debian release, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. :)

Of course, I wouldn’t recommend Debian for a gaming system for a newbie. It’s just what I’ve been using as my daily driver for decades, so I did not want to switch to something else just for something as unimportant as gaming.
