@halide I love my iPhone 14 and feel no immediate need for upgrading -- except for that Camera Control. That is *very* tempting indeed.

Thoughts on recent events

Always great to help out with glaciology missions. Went out with a team of Belgian scientists the other day to retrieve the seismometers we had placed a week before.
Good views from the edge of Vatnajökull 🇮🇸

Been a while since I posted.

Here's a shot from a recent #iceclimbing trip with two amazing clients. First time climbers and progressed from zero to clean moves in vertical to slightly overhanging ice!

Today was my last ice cave tour of this season. I'm going to miss those places!

My program for April: WFR (Wilderness First Responder) recertification, a few glacier hikes and snowmobile tours, and a number of alpine treks to the highest peaks of Iceland.

@FRYTG yes I use the stock Backblaze app. I don’t feel the need to manage my own encryption keys for backup, in my case I think there would be very little tangible benefit at the cost of a potentially more brittle setup (then I need to worry about storing those encryption keys separately, potentially offsite, and validate key changes to be atomic).

About 40 hours until return to normality.

Yes those are normal (slow) hard disks and not SSDs, because during normal operations their speed doesn't matter to me but their price does.

Why don't I run CCC more frequently, you ask? Maybe I should, but a weekly rhythm works well for remembering to attach the second image drive (good idea to have some backups air gapped most of the time, just in case something really screwy happens).
