Know that if something happens to us at sea, that we have left this world without regrets, we had had the opportunity of being surrounded with amazing and kind people, that we've had the incredible chance of seeing more than we had ever hoped, and that we wish that our death will not discourage anyone to take on such an adventure for it's not about the length of life but how it is spent.

I’m looking for people to participate in a huge book exchange. You can be anywhere in the world. All you have to do is buy your favorite book (just one) and send it to a stranger (I'll send their details through in a private message).
You’ll receive an assortment of books in return, for you to keep. They'll be favorite books from strangers around the world!
If you are interested in taking part, please send a DM saying ‘IN’ and I'll send you all the details. (This is real, not just copypaste.)

#selfhosting adventures
Last night I was talking with my mom on the phone. She was telling me she wanted to share large files with my aunt, but wasn't keen on using Google Drive and the likes.
I bursted in laughter. "Mom", I said, "I just set up an account for you on my #Nextcloud instance. Here's your username and password." 🤓
We spent the next 20 minutes going over the thing. She was pretty excited. She'll turn 75 this year. I'm proud how she's embraced technology. 😄
