ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: How have you deGoogled your life?

Went from iOS to it. "It's good enough"(tm) for my needs. No serious experience with "vanilla" Android. With three exceptions (my bank app, Windy and Locus Map) I only use open source apps plus NoRoot Firewall running in the background. For browsing I use Firefox with NoScript and uBlock enabled. Plus, I'm cybersecurity savvy, so all things considered, should be safe enough.

ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: What is your default font for coding and terminal?

Hack. Both in Sublime Text and urxvt terminals. And as a i3 system font. And as a fixed font for Firefox and Thunderbird.

ElectronBadger··on Ask HN: Are you hiking? How old are you and how many kilometers can you Hike?

I'm in the middle between forty and fifty. I hike a lot, all year around (winter preferably), mostly in mountains. I do up to 40 km (it gets tiring above 30) per day with a backpack, around 30 km per day on skis with a pulk.

To get better - just hike a lot. And consider running to improve your legs stamina and cardio fitness.
