What would be a good gift for a boomer dad with lots of time and zero hobbies? He's super handy, but not interested in tech.
@Gina leather working or wood carving? Both can start small and scale up if there’s interest

@disisdeguey You know what, they have a nice backyard and a little green house, so a book on how to grow food might be a good start. Thanks!
@Gina I think is a nice project. I do have my little piece of land and I really enjoy working there. Have a nice day and congratulations on your dad's retirement 😍

@Gina as long as he’s not too heavy, no problem!

@Gina Something where he remains physically active. Fitnesscenter membership, Hiking guide. Make him travel a lot (if possible) on his own... No cruise ships!

@wouterkobes They don't live near a beach 😅

@ronnylam Yeah but that's a one time thing, I'm kind of looking for something he can fill a few days with.
He used to build model ships, and had a massive miniature train city (lol nerd) in the attic before we were born.
@Gina one of our parents went full in on woodturning. He is now spending most of his time in the garage. And now we hold our breath every time they come visit us, anxious to see what new present we have to make room for.

@ronnylam That's so cute 😭

@Gina it is more fun on farmlands, more historical finds

Gift cards to spend in restaurants and/or hotels?
A couple of rounds on a Ferrari at the nearest racing circuit?
@max They don't really like to go places or try new things. I'm still working on getting them to try sushi.

@tadi He has a gym membership that he goes to like once or twice a week. And he goes cycling with his grandson a lot, so I think that's covered for now.

@Gina If he's super handy, maybe occasionally ask his help doing odd jobs around the house? One of the biggest adjustments that I dealt with when I retired was loss of purpose, feeling needed. Just don't throw too much at him, he may have ideas of his own. When the dust settles, meet for lunch or drinks.

@Gina could you get him into gaming? Buy him a Switch + Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom?

@Gina Nice to hear. Ensure he keeps up with that. I currently regret that I didn't encourage my parents in all of the above mentioned activities, when they retired.

@webdevtrust I don't think he's much of a gamer. 🥲

Ho visto la partita che ha vinto a Dubai contro Jasmine Paolini. A parte la qualità del gioco, non si poteva non tifare per lei vedendo i tifosi che hanno trasformato l'arena in uno stadio di Manila, ben sapendo le condizioni di lavoro che gran parte di loro sopporta (non soltanto) in quei Paesi.

Oh grazie!!

The question is not if, it's when. I am dead serious that we will have never seen a cybersecurity incident like this before, because it can self-mutate at a pace much faster than random mutation in physical viruses.
Workshopped a phrase for it a bit with @quintessence last night: "evolution through artificially intelligent design" of malicious behaviors.
The only solution I can think of once this happens is to shut down network access, particularly to AI service providers, and roll back to software distros based on software that came out a year older and patch our way back up against known CVEs while we try to sort everything out.

The interesting thing about the AI worm being imminent thing is this is the first time where I have said something about AI where most of the well-informed sides of anti-ai and pro-ai friends I have both fully agree with me. If you are paying attention enough, you can see that all the pieces are falling in place.
In fact, the biggest debate is whether this has happened already, and we just haven't seen proof of it yet. I don't know. Given how long things like the xz attack have sat undetected, and given how much chaos of computation is happening in datacenter usage right now, I wouldn't doubt it.
