Cycling. If you have a bike you can choose how much power you put through the pedals. I used to commute everyday by bike and I'd really put an effort in each way riding as hard and fast as I could. And one flat I lived in was at the tip of a brutal climb which I used to attack every day, arriving back spent. As it happened I did that same climb today and I struggled to get up it at all, I was definitely fitter 10 years ago!

I took a break from riding for a few years and barely touched my bikes but am now getting back in to it. But this time I'm deliberately trying to go slow. Find the local trails and low traffic areas and pootle along. I've been having great fun just exploring. But then if I want to try ride up the big hills I can do that too. I also never used to stop as side for traffic. But you can stop whenever you feel like. Bring some food and a drink and stop for a few minutes or at a cafe.

Most people think it's a single executable that does everything and breaks unix philosophy, rather than a suite of tools that adhere to it, which is what it is.

"IPv4 is running out of IP addresses so therefore every local network needs to move to IPv6" is a full clown move.

The same as every new service over the past 20 years. Start with free, then when they're hooked add the advertising, paywalls and ramp up the enshitification to the Max. You need to grab market share with a loss leader, dominate and become the defacto standard before you turn your users into money providers.
