So why don’t they use it to unfuck Windows 11… before I finish my coffee?

I ride a class 3 ebike 66% of the time and various muscle-powered bikes the remainder of the time. 30mph makes most roads in my downtown accessible to me. I bought a class 3 for this reason. We’re too suburban for class 2 to keep up with traffic on most roads.

Where I live: Multi use paths: 20mph (buttholes are trying to lower it to 15mph which I can beat on any muscle-bike) Neighborhood roads: <=25mph (bikable but tend to not connect well) Collectors: <30-35mph (sometimes uncomfortable, but okay) Arterials: 40-60mph (you probably gunna die unless you are going downhill, have passed cars at 45-50mph on the downhill. Never wish to repeat 😳 Expressways: 65+mph (um…)

We’re pretty spread out and a useful trip could be anywhere from 5-35 miles round trip.

This is what I see when looking at this topic. So much talk about dangerous ebikes, but in my area most of it is coming from anti-tax groups who are mad that a tiny portion of money went to paint a bike lane or fix a trail. So they blame bikes while they drive around hitting peds in their Excursions and F250s.

Can evokes be dangerous, yes. Are ebikes the pressing danger menacing our roadways, no. If we could keep full blown gas dirtbikes off multi-use paths and make a few cars stop at crosswalks, that would make a bigger impact than every ebike in the state disappearing overnight.

I had this happen before but not in recent times. Not sure if others have experienced the same.

For a while I had my bootloader on a single drive but I now have my Linux bootloader on /dev/sda and my windows on /dev/sdb and toggle it in the bios when I need to use Windows. I haven’t had Windows overwrite anything in a long time. Could be a coincidence though.

Not a mean question at all. I haven’t had more difficulty keeping a working system than I did on Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, etc. I get everything I need in Arch and the packages are always fresh off the grill. I also like the emphasis on text config files and a ground-up install. That helped me better understand my system and how it works.

No idea about performance. My performance recommendation is “don’t run Windows!” :)

I read this a while back and am already taking action to replace my Ring cams and doorbell with locally controlled Reolink cameras. I already have them set up and working on my desk, just need to finish the actual install. I am currently trying to figure out why I’m getting <12v on my doorbell circuit.

Any bike worth more than $1k, I add to my insurance. Below that, I’m just really careful.

One of my objections is that it pushes proprietary operating systems without providing a neutral FOSS option. So in a sense, the tracking and profiling (per your Android or iOS phone) has to come along for the ride. It also opens the door to more and more invasive IDing both IRL and on the web as it will eventually be worked into a bunch of different things. Everything that’s optional now could become mandatory later. It’s like building a munitions factory but putting a “Mark’s Fruit Export & Wholesale” sign on the building. All you have to do is bust down a few walls and put a fresh coat of paint in things and the gig is up.

Doesn’t matter if it’s a D or an R because they all want this gross shit. Can I get at least one real American who believes in privacy and liberty please!

You are correct. That wasn’t the most descriptive statement on my part :D

The black Reolink WiFi doorbell one was what I purchased. I was tempted by the PoE one because it would avoid using WiFi bandwidth but there’s no cable in that area.

My partner had a preference for the wider FOV so I got the black one. It paired no problem and after banging my head against the wall for a while I got the stream working in Home Assistant, VLC, then Frigate. I haven’t decided how I want to handle the recording. I have yet to set up notifications and I’m not certain if my doorbell circuit is providing enough power, which would explain why the Bezos Bell sucked at keeping a charge (also surveiling your customers all day takes a lot of juice). This may become a slightly bigger project if I have to rerun the wiring.

There was a lot of hype around this bell and that naturally makes me skeptical, but rarely have I had a device pair and get to a functional state that quickly, even in most proprietary apps. We’ll see how it works out once I have it wired in.

Yeah, easier is better. I’ll have to confirm what apps outside of Jellyfin and Chromecast are needed, but I’ll compare some basic Roku devices. I could probably score one a online neighborhood marketplace for a few bucks.

Thanks for weighing in.

A shame because even after years of environmental abuse, the Montana we have now is still beautiful and could still be preserved.

Swap our rivers for cracked mud and pools of battery acid. Burn the earth for a crack-addled chatbot… or turn off your phone and go for a beautiful hike outside of Bozeman, MT? I know which one I would pick.

I like real music about real experiences and feelings, regardless of genre. For every McArtist there a real artist who does it from the heart. For every mumble rapper there is an Immortal Technique. For every AI country artist there’s a Willie Nelson.

Inb4 I compose a 4 act opera about my week’s schedule during my first shower of the week. :D

I noticed the same thing with KDE and Wayland. Sometimes my curser still grows 10 sizes or shrinks as I pass over certain windows or between monitors but things are more consistent and predictable than they used to be.

So you offer Startup Starter™ franchises so I can help startup starters in my area find startup starting ideas?

My Minecraft pals used mumble at various points. It’s less polished than some options. I like the FOSS and the simplicity but the certificates confused me as a noob. Would still recommend.

Now when I go to the fourth of July fireworks, my chair can just walk after me.

Yes, the intensified focus on duckAI and the worsening of search results are concerning for DDG. With that in mind, I trust them over Google/MS/etc. It’s important to me that a search engine follows my instructions.
