I took gnusocial.no down last week after running it for three years. I
took over due to burn out from the previous admin. I do not regret
running it since I learned so much, but doing so took so much of my
energy and attention. I already feel the relief, though so much has
happened, I think the net level of work load on my life remains about
the same.

As of now, I do not have a microblog or social media. This might
change. I wish for an RSS-based tool...


Where I live we avoided the fires and smoke in 2019, but since 2015 we
have had a steady worsening each year. Or at least my memory tells me
so. I remember the summer of 2017, I went for a bike ride in July and
the next day the air became disgusting so much that I rode less and
less for the rest of the summer. I used to have an office view looking
east to Mt Hood. On some days I could not see the mountain because the
air quality blocked it with smoke. But I always call anything caused
by humans smog.
