A readme file for Dylan Araps from 3 days ago saying “have taken up farming” and the github page for neofetch has also been archived. Good for him I guess.

    I’ve basically done that minus the lighting stuff on fire part. Moved out to the country, still making a living with the whole computer stuff but I own some forest, I’m a volunteer firefighter and I’ve got a huge, wild garden.

    It’s good for my mental health.

      Hey me. Nice to see me out in the wild.

      I chucked most of my computer stuff, but kept a laptop for work, and a somewhat aging desktop to game on rainy nights, and moved to a piece of forest far from others.

      When we first got out here there wasn’t even enough space to park our truck. I cleared enough Forest to park our travel trailer and live in while we built a tiny 12 ftx30 ft house.

      Now I spend my mornings feeding birds and doing minimal tending on a very wild (by design) garden.

      Strongly suggest others who can do so to give it a try.

      Especially people who are in any type of job where systems, thinking and infrastructure was part of your daily thought process.

      Life out here is very hard at first as we set up the infrastructure but everyday it gets a little bit easier and eventually the workload should be smaller here than it is at a normal job. That’s when I’ll quit my normal job.
