@retrimental @hiking once you start hiking, you dont' feel cold anymore, believe me. Especially after almost 1000mt of elevation gain

@bergmeister it was ️ I couldn't believe my eyes when I arrived at the lake. I was exhausted because I was not geared for 40cm of snow (it was totally unexpected), but it was totally worth it.

I hiked several times to Lago Federa in the #Dolomites. It's one of my favorite places ever.
But I rarely had the chance to witness the overlapping of autumn and winter in such a beautiful way.
This was taken in November 2023. It snowed the day before, but larchs were still red, so the result was the beautiful Becco di Mezzodì framed by blue, white and red.
This hike is on my Komoot https://www.komoot.it/tour/1372497820?ref=aso

@matejrokos good to know! I have started using it only recently but I really like it. Very nice and clean, it's nice to know that's it's still improving.

@dansup I have been using Matrix on FluffyChat and Element X instead of WhatsApp and it's just amazing. I prefer it to Signal.

@afewbugs I have downloaded Mapy.com instead of Google Maps and I see that they allow reviews of places. But I am afraid it might still be a platform too small to make a difference. Other than that I am still looking for a valid alternative as well.

@3instahunde it was difficult not to give up, I admit. But I found an amazing school and trainers that nailed the issue and are helping us to fix it. I couldn't have done it without them. Good trainers are a bless.

@ienvision @petitfrere0412 reactive dogs are really something, aren't they? ️ They require so much work, but, in return, they give so much. Yours is so beautiful!

The life of rescues is always bright, right, @petitfrere0412?

Choosing rescues is a challenge. Most of the times you don't know their true self, hidden beneath trauma and/or neglect.
We ended up with a reactive dog that really pushed us to the limit (the black fluff ️). After one year of training, we can finally start enjoying walks, but it's still hard.
You can't fully relax, you always have to keep an eye on everything and everyone.
But it's totally worth it.

@waldschnecke @randahl it's here https://leavex.eu/politicians/
I have it open in Vivaldi because I want to start writing to the Italian ones but I keep postponing it...

@rl_dane yes, I have been thinking about switching to Fairphone for some time, and even I know it's a downgrade from the camera point, it's better this way.
I looked at the mirrorless, but I am afraid they might be too big, for me. I hike but also do ferrate, and something as compact as possible is mandatory. I think that the new Panasonic LUMIX TZ99 might be what I need.

@bergmeister thank you! The Panasonic seems exactly what I'm looking for, I'll check if there's something more recent but similar.

@sichkovskyi not sure about film, I am so used to digital camera that I would like to keep going. I could buy one in the future, though, as soon as I get used to bring a camera along instead of a phone.
Thank you for all the advises!

Advice needed: I will soon leave my beloved Huawei P30 Pro for a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS.
The only thing I will really miss is the camera: I shot amazing pictures with the Huawei, and I know that the Fairphone won't be the same.
So I was thinking about buy a proper camera, but I need it to be suitable for hiking.
Portable, light, easy to store in the backpack, and reliable. Budget around 500-600€.
Any good one?
