Try Firefox, ditch Google, use uBlock Origin/piHole. Don’t download random stuff from the internet.

Keep exploring and you’ll run into them eventually!

Alright, thanks anyway

Do you happen to use Omnivore on android too? If so, did you ever happen to have trouble syncing deletions/saved articles between them?

Lucky you got down before you had no more brakes. Life is dangerous, take care. That forest track looks very tempting to ride on. And you never know who you’ll meet in the forest! Once I met a local woodsman who taught me how to look for edible mushrooms.

8 hours? I would kill to get 8 hours battery life.

The dishonored universe is constantly residing in my head. One story I think would be interesting is where Corvo uses the cut power (Void House) that allows him to take a respite from battle. It could be set in a canon level or a random encounter that leaves him pretty shaken up, so he needs to recover. If you want to see what I’m talking about, here’s a link.

Sysprep can reset the activation clock a max number of 3 times. You can set SkipRearm to 1 and it no longer does this, but of course the activation clock isn’t reset, which ‘defeats’ continued reactivation. You learn something new every day I guess. See Serverfault - Does doing sysprep too many times cause issues?

This. I also wonder when people will realize that having more RAM doesn’t mean having to use it all (electron, looking at you)

Hello computer (YouTube)

Unfortunately flats are the most common thing I get and suck most at fixing on the road. I used to pack way too many tools than were necessary simply because one time my chain got stuck between the hub and frame, and I didn’t have any tools with me.

Never thought about the mount-ability of those little straps since I always seem to have a spot for them on any bike I rode. It sucks to not have proper mounting, especially when doing a trip like this!

Ah, maybe that’s due to the weather you had there. In my experience some ticks always seem to end up on my legs going through dense forests.

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it a lot!

Like others said, you can try installing Arch manually (not with the install script). You get the hang of the terminal and you get to see a bit more of how Linux works under the hood. The wiki is your friend, spend some time reading it!

Julia Evans recently did a thing about job control here. Nothing yet on multiplexers though

I see, a pretty nice selection of stuff! Did your bike break down at all through the trip? And did you find your tools to be adequate?

I’m thinking of making a trip like this, but not international, only around my country. Curious on what to expect maintenance wise.

Did any insects bother you, while cooking or while sleeping?

That spot looks beautiful to camp. What kind of hiking gear do you have?

I’ve never met someone that didn’t hate their rewritable CDs. After a few months of reading/writing they would go bad.

I agree, some floppies are particularly bad as well, but most I’ve handled worked okay

It’s not always DNS - unless it is

Let’s go back to web 1.0! (Or at least 2.0)

When will it stop? No really?

I understand this is a non-issue for your home network, but as I understand it, the real risk is when using a VPN in a public and untrusted place (e.g. a coffee shop) as most teleworkers do
