Hey, I’m Nick — once lost, now found.
By God’s grace, I’ve been freed from addiction and guided into recovery. I now share my journey through a personal podcast, gaming content, and reflections on tech, travel, and digital life.
Here to connect, grow, and encourage others walking their own path.
Ukrainian artist Sculpture series normalizes injured bodies of Ukraine’s #soldiers
Thousands of #Ukrainians have lost limbs, either on front line or in Russian attacks struggle to begin again; it is shaping #cultural movement that will continue long after #war is over
Through their #recovery, self-reinvention, & resolve, a new narrative in #Ukrainian #society is emerging, one that redefines the idea of a return to “normal.”

Busy morning. Marched in Little Rock #NoKings across the Arkansas River and back (it was hot). Then volunteered to help at a beekeeper co-op. Taught a new guy how to harvest his honey, made a friend (it was hotter). Now resting and cooling off while waiting for my master beekeeper to help me with a potentially troubling inspection (it will be even hotter).
#recovery taught me the importance of community. It's a lifeline and a kind of insurance against horrors like the ones we're seeing now.
Completed just a few days ago before my surgery - love this neon lips/teeth/razor blade motif. Check out my pattern matching on the front pocket! Epic!
My social media profiles mention that I'm a recovering academic. What do I mean by that, and why do I think it's important?

#Colorado businesses are embracing recovery-friendly workplaces, with 70% of staff at one Denver sandwich shop in active #recovery.
The trend is part of a growing effort to reframe how employers address addiction and #mentalhealth.

As an addict, I'm really thankful that I am terrified of drugs now. I have anxiety about doing anything even slightly against the rules with even mild drugs now. I think I literally scared myself straight with all the horror I went through.
I just wish I could be afraid of eating too much now.
No surprise. There are so many downed trees and power lines, that in order to fix the power lines, the streets need to be cleared of the trees so the power lines can be repaired. The trucks need to be able to travel.
FEMA needs to get large wood chipper trucks deployed to clear tbe streets. Currently, there is not much room to place the wood, even if you are in position to cut it up. Which most are not.
Do you make backups? Do you run ZFS? Do you use Bacula? Do you use dd?
Your method is important for you. What's also important is testing how a restore works.
I lost a partition less than 30 minutes ago. I have a simple tgz backup of the important data on another drive, not an SSD, no a HDD.
I lost zero bytes of data.
Please make sure your backup and restore systems work.
When your recovery tool says the partition is lost, only your backup will save you.
Mine did
What I'm still missing is a custom #recovery that can actually do any useful stuff (especially full #backup).
My device has recovery as a #ramdisk in vendor_boot, and there are some prebuilt vendor_boot images with #twrp around, which I don't want to use directly because there's also an init-boot ramdisk in there that needs patching for root with #magisk ... and as far as I understood now, these ramdisks are userland only, using the shared #kernel from the boot partition, so it's unlikely a recovery built for #HyperOS1 (#Android 14, #Linux 5) will work with #HyperOS2 (Android 15, Linux 6).
What I *did* try nevertheless was modifying my vendor_boot using Magisk's #magiskboot utility, replacing ONLY the recovery ramdisk. It resulted in #bootloop trying to boot the normal system, so there seems to be something I still don't understand (I *thought* this ramdisk would only ever be loaded when booting to recovery).
For now, I'll live with the useless stock #Xiaomi recovery. Attempting to do my own build of twrp or orangefox really is too much hassle
