Making music is significantly more expensive than blogging, that’s also the point of the article.

You can use a Polar watch if that's what you're into - I used a Polar Pacer Pro for a while that you can sync to a computer periodically, or just use it offline.

I regularly pack for my wife and two toddlers (1 and 3yo) in a 40L + additional 10L bags. It is very hard, means adults also have to surrender even more items to make room for books, toys and nappies, but it is not impossible. The reasons that made us do this is we wanted to only travel by train (europe based).

It’s a highly freeing exercise that is hard but doable. Only works for vacations (a day to a month) though.

I also have a cargo bike I use to get all sorts of things - from a full shopping cart to a large IKEA haul. Kids go in the trailer while the groceries are loaded in the cargo bike.

I live in Parisian suburbs and stores are all less than 10km away, I have never had trouble getting anything.

If I need something larger / heavier (say, cinder blocks and cement) I just rent a truck for two hours and get all the heavy shopping done in the time frame.

This only works if you live close to truly natural spaces, and where I live even forests are urban spaces. Also, would your car get you through the desert or a virgin forest?

I can get to beaches, forests, mountains by cycling or taking the train there with the right level of infrastructure to accommodate me and my family while still feeling in nature.

> can't have lidars and map your home (while I can see no reason why this has to require Internet access and can't be implemented an autonomous way).

This is a great comment. I would love smart appliances (e.g. Lidar-equipped robot vacuum cleaner) that are 100% offline. If anyone has a list of smart yet offline appliances, I’d love to shop there.

9999 GB roughly equals to 9,999 TB

Well, 9999GB is closer to 10TB than to 1TB.

I'd say a great place makes all the difference. Being remote can be nice but for teamwork it can get tricky. Having a place where you can both work alone and meet in teams is a great perk.

I live in Paris and you can find highly specialized shops too. Some shops only sell about three types of fabric, some others will sell only buttons, a certain type of leather or a special type of ink. I love getting in those shops and meeting the people who are really passionate about their visibly small yet huge niche. It always get wonderful once you start looking at the details.
