I bought a hangboard to train finger strength so I can beat it faster

Be careful how you’re using it if you’re a male. Knuckle calcification is pretty much an inevitability, but bouldering and hangboard type exercises speed it up significantly. They exert a lot more force on the knuckles, and so they’re more likely to cause microfractures that get filled up with calcium.

I’ve competed in sport climbing for years without too many changes. A single season of preparing for and competing in bouldering left my knuckles like 20% wider, I can’t bend them fully anymore, and my hands were shaking for months.

Be careful with AUR. You’re essentially running a bash script you found on the internet. At least check if the package is made by the dev, and not some random dude. If it’s not, definitely check how the package is built, and check every diff.

Niche software is especially dangerous, as there aren’t that many people looking into the build process.

In my years of maining arch, I’ve only had at most 3-4 AUR packages installed at a time. And I’ve used it for stuff like Skype and Dropbox, which I’ll try moving to flatpak.

I’m currently experimenting with guix. It’s a bit insane, but pretty amazing.
