I really enjoy cable management
Having a clean living space
Typing on a mechanical keyboard.
Care to elaborate? I tried mechanicals and they feel loud and clunky to me.
The one I’m using now is part of a batch of 4 that I found in the trash at my workplace. It’s a big Cherry G-80 which linear, non-clicky black switches.
Its a very simple, old-school “aged” white keyboard, with some marks still from mistreatment, probably when throwing away.
Typing is delicious. The keys offer a satisfying resistance until they bottom out. They register the press before that point though. They never miss, and can be silent or somewhat musical, depending on the fingers attack.
It’s truly a simple pleasure to type on it!
Lately, I’ve really been enjoying Lemmy and posts like this. All of it makes me feel like I’m still able to surf the web like I did 5-10+ years ago, interacting with other humans on the Internet in passing rather than a botnet like so many other popular sites.
I’m also a huge fan of cable management. I love the process of cleaning up my home/office to blend devices into the space.
A simple, but guilty pleasure of mine is reading HackerNews story titles (and titles only, most of the time), and tooting sarcastic reactions about them. It’s very therapeutic. (And for easier browsing, I made a HN-like website (read-only) for said toots of mine).

Walking on the beach off season. Mid-spring, when it’s getting warmer and the beach area still didn’t attract the crowds or mid-fall, when it’s mildly chill and calm.

Bothering a cat. But in the loving way where they eye squish at you.
I also like homemade soft bread. So soft! So squishy! Delicious!
Learning about the native environment around me
Hear me out. Have you ever tried naps?
Yeah. I’ve been enjoying them a lot this year
Watching and listening to the birds. Where I live, we have a super rich and diverse bird population. It’s kind of ridiculous. Across seasons and times of day, every bird species get their time to shine.
Nightingales, nightowls, cuckoos, blue tits, great tits, black birds, whooping swans, woodpeckers, cormorants, herons, finches, robins, grey geese, buzzards, larks, falcons, pheasants and on and on and on.
It makes me so happy to be alive.
walking in a forest during fall with a little weed in my system
aha ! I’ve just recently discovered the joys of getting slightly stoned in the wilderness. Last time on my way back, during rainy season, I found the path blocked by a huge zebu. Bit stressful for me, I had to dig into the bush for a way around
I’ll have some of whatever you were smoking!
What did the zebu say to you? Did it impart any wisdom?
just the usual platitudes 😅 “moo, I’m a zebu”. lol thanks buddy, I noticed. “moo, moss covers all, the edges of this kingdom may be dulled but in time it will rise again from the forest and swallow men, then we will chant as one… moo”.
yea yea buddy
Board games and card games, but nothing as complicated as Magic The Gathering.
When I say card games I mean games like “World Changers”. I don’t play card games with regular decks (jack queen, king, joker etc)

I enjoy the simple pleasures of Daffy Duck
And sometimes our logs touch.
