Your turn, m8!
Our group went all across and around the Olkhon Island, and we even got to do some ice skating on a smooth part of the lake.
In these months the ice is thick enough for cars to drive on, so that's the main mode of transport. The drivers can be pretty crazy there, our guide told us some of them go upwards of 100 km/h on ice lol, that sounds very dangerous.
But we also traveled on airboats a few times -- also a fairly unique experience.

At the end of January we traveled to Lake Baikal with @bugaevc -- our first time there, and generally in such cold weather. Imagine plane landing at ~4 AM your time and the flight attendant announcing "Welcome to Irkutsk, the temperature outside is -40°" 😆
We were well prepared though and had a great time! Lots of gorgeous scenery and a huge variety of ice types and formations. 1/2
Great, an amazing chain of events and maybe unfortunate UI design in #DAVx5 resulted in me deleting our shared #CardDAV addressbook - server side from an ancient #baikal instance, no backups (no mercy) of course. My rescue attemps of copying contacts around in #Thunderbird (why does 'export' make an effing lossy CSV without avatar!?) just made it worse, 50% of contacts now left.
It's finally time to #selfhost #radicale with #git and #borgbackup failsafes on my #nixos #homelab...
A4-livets alfa og omega – felleskalenderen
iPhone, android, PC, mac, linux, Windows, Apple, padde…ein 7. sans? Einingane og flatene kan vera mange. Som del av eit aktivt og travelt famelieliv («på landet»), er det å ha oversikt over avtalar eit viktig verkemiddel. I mange år har Google (for min del) vore det ein på godt norsk kallar «fasilitator» for denne tenest
