I remember installing a version 0.9x from a set of infomagic cdroms in the mid 90s. Ended up going back to running Slackware for a long time to come though. Hard to understand I’ve been playing with and earning a living with Linux for just about 30 years now. Debian has played a big part in that.

While that would be great, in reality because of YouTube’s recommendations, the ones most likely to watch this crap are the ones already drinking the kool-aid and thus upvoting.

These instances were the first that made me search for a block instance option in Memmy. Still I’m not entirely happy seeing all this defederation happening.

I can’t be the only one who like the picture, but have absolutely no idea what the headline means.

That’s definitely Garmin for you. I’ve had forerunners and edge computers since fr205. Good hardware but shitty software. Still, I’ve tried others like wahoo and always ended up with Garmin again. Currently on an edge 1040 and a fr965, 15 years later and I still get lost in the menus.

Older ones for sure. Won’t even have a drain plug.

A lot of bad can be said about Harleys but I love that my 48 just has a little rubber hose with a plug in it to drain the oil.

That’s great, but there is still a shit ton of it in there. Check this channel where an amazing team rescues seals entangled in all our waste for a look into what we’re doing to the oceans: https://youtube.com/@OceanConservationNamibia

Those corridors bring me back to Wolfenstein 3D.

I’m not denying there is a heat wave in southern Europe, but where I am in Spain, it was actually hotter last year. I’m enjoy this summer and am usually able to sleep without AC and at the same time I have family outside of the country calling and asking if I am OK because of what they see on the news. There is definitely parts that have it worse than others.

That’s more or less how I got my first job back in the 90s. A buddy and I started hanging out at the local computer store. We discovered Linux because we wanted to run an Amiga emulator and a little later when the store wanted to start as an ISP, this was the time of local/long distance calls, so local ISPs were a thing, we got hired and build it all from scratch. Radius server, smtpd etc. everything based on the standard *nix tools, except the customer db/app which we wrote ourselves. We both dropped out of computer science for this and now almost 30 years later neither of us finished school, but both still work in tech. These were the wild days of the young Internet and I doubt it’s something that would really work these days.

I compiled my first Linux kernel back in the mid 90s, mostly on 386 and Dec Alpha hardware, interesting enough both were not that much slower than what you mentioned, I think the alpha (a measly 21066) took about 40 minutes. If you had asked me back then, I’d probably have imagined a minute or two, 30 years later. Guess it says something about how much larger the Linux kernel has become.

If I wanted to read Reddit threads and responses, I’d be on Reddit. Super pointless and spamming bot.

And coffee also. I’m like 2/3s towards living my dream.

Cowboy.

I want to sit at a campfire, eat my bowl of chili, then curl up in my blanket under the stars and in the morning boil myself a nice pot of coffee.

You can keep the cow stuff though.

I hope it’s the angle that makes it look like the front wheel will touch it at the slightest bump.

Vi har det hvor jeg bor og det fungerer fantastisk, der er jævnligt skiltet med det og bilisterne overholder det i en sådan grad at det næsten er for meget. Det kan godt tage lidt tid at finde et sted med den nødvendige plads når det går opad.

I’m looking at going from Barcelona to Paris, both plane and train has direct connections and on the dates I am considering, it’s about 50 eur for the plane and 130 eur for the train each way. Both the airport and trains station are close to me and the trains also has a security check and the queue that comes with that, so I’m still not sure what I’m going to pick.

I was visiting some family in Transylvania, Romania and in the afternoon we decided to go for a small hike, in the mountainous woods. It was my wife and I, her local cousin and a dog. We head off into the woods on a path leading up a mountain.

At some point we passed a smallish stream and when we later returned to go back it had flooded and we couldn’t cross so had to take a detour. No phones/gps but the cousin claimed both he and the dog knew the way, so we followed them. Not long after we were in the middle of the forest in pitch black darkness as the sun went down fast, no longer following a path, but climbing up steep slopes on our hands and knees. At one point my wife put her hand down and touched something she claims was a mouse, she nearly started crying at that point. I was more worried about bears, but hoped the dog could scare them away if we met one.

Took us a few hours, but eventually we found a road and was able to follow it back. Though with Romanian traffic, I’m not sure if being lost in the woods wasn’t safer than walking a busy road at night with no lights.

I’d say it depends on the type of bike and tire.

Tubed or tubeless? For tubed, I’d recommend 1-2 spare tubes put in a saddle bag or one of those fake bottle kits that mounts in a bottle carrier, a small co2 pump, a few cartridges and a tire lever if yours are not easy to remove and install by hand. If you have a flat, replace the tube, then patch old tubes at home. For tubeless I recommend the dynaplug tool, optionally a small bottle of extra sealant and a valve tool. Small hand pump as co2 can interfere with tubeless sealant. I ride tubeless and just chuck these items in a jersey pocket.
