What are you learning right now? I haven't had much time for self-study recently, but I'd love to know what y'all are exploring. Doesn't have to be tech, just whatever is sparking your curiosity!

@mttaggart azure python SDK recently, gonna start work on new homeowner projects here soon tho
@mttaggart The realm of physical media, especially cassettes and repairing old cassette decks
@mttaggart how to renovate an ancient 3D printer I picked up in a charity store. If I’m successful, there may be trouble ahead.
@drs1969 3D printers live with things like full flight sim gear in the realm of equipment I must not purchase because I want my family to live.
@mttaggart Been trying to make an earnest go at learning LyX/LaTeX recently.
The more I write longer works, the more I find Markdown feeling like a formatting limitation, and I really don't want to go further down the "use the web to layout your text" rabbit hole for things I'm not going to publish *on* the web.
So, I have decided to learn the old ways. It's been fun so far!
@valthonis Yay!
Not to derail you, but I have become a complete Typst convert. It's the same concept, with some modern affordances.
@mttaggart Hm. Looks like it's self-hostable without *too* much headache, too.
I will dig at this. Thanks, Taggart!
@mttaggart Ah, the tooling is open-source and installable, but the online interface isn't. That's eminently fair, honestly, and a fair-sight better than what a lot of MSPs will offer. 🤔
@mttaggart Japanese, and Guitar. I like to find hobbies that are not at the computer.
@eightbitraptor I really need to put more time into Mandarin and piano. Language and music are such lovely pursuits.
@mttaggart Atmospheric science! 💨
@mttaggart Korean
Dug up this old thing (they have one for numbers too)

Some Pimsleur flashcards, and some Duolingo on top of it. Writing it all out as I go. Brainstorming actual expected conversations to prepare for.
I love languages, making them stick, and keeping them refreshed is tough.
