Trying hard! What I'd need is a browser extension (Firefox) that just sends me to the fediverse as soon as I type "old.reddit.com" into the address bar to kill some time. Old habits die hard.

Always knew I was destined for hell.

Yeah. It does not go into mythology a lot but I found it a great 10h spent to learn about the cultural background. It covers the era just before and during christianisation of Iceland so it also explains how and why Snorri Sturluson felt the need to write down everything known about norse mythology. Very cool for people like me who are interested in medieval culture but don't have a history/literature degree because it opens up that world.

Nice! Thanks everyone. I'll be trying the redirector addon the next few days. Noticed something cool. On this post we've got interaction from at least 4 different federated lemmys

• feddit.de
• lemmy.ml
• kbin.social
• beehaw.org

I quite like this new world.

• Professionally I mostly work with C (no ++) for bare metal micro-controllers. Basically I'm using it to tie together HW peripherals with some communication library.
• Python is my one-size fit's all tool for anything that has an OS. Testing, scripting, interfacing, it does it all.
• I also used to work a bit with Erlang, which is my personal favourite programming language for its pure elegance and resilience.
