Nice resource. I get good exercise and eat a lot of raw or unprocessed foods, but my portions are whack and there's not a lot of consistency day to day. I've been wanting to clean up my diet for a while and I'm gonna add this to my planning document.

My city has a nice grade separated trail system that is dead quiet at night with the exception of the occasional homeless person or the time I flew around a bend to find kids setting off fireworks in the middle if the path (extreme fire danger that year too >:-( )

I have to cross a fee stroads to get from the trail back home and my destination isn't always perfectly trail adjacent, but on nice summer nights I like to ride the 25 miles into the entertainment district and back 90% of which is trail riding.

I wear one helmet and wear a thin hat under it to help with the wind in the colder months. I understand helmet covers exist to do something similar.

Hell yeah, walking the walk AND talking the talk! Good on ya.

I have the same issue. I used the email when I was in Nigeria for work, so I figured it came from that, but now I'm not so sure.

At least you can count on the guy making minimum wage to not upsell you.

Yeah, I feel like the only person in my life who doesn't have Chipotle, ChickFilA, McDonalds, Starbucks and a bunch of other apps on my phone. Worse yet, I walk in and order at the counter like I'm living in the distant past. :-)

I love loud freewheels/cassettes. The sound difference between a normal and high engagement hub is fascinating too. Just like driving a car, I use audio feedback a lot while biking.

I see a lot of people saying something along the lines of "their network; their rules".

With this in mind, it's still shitty that they frame this as a compatibility issue when in reality they just want to track you.

They should be forced to say that they disallowed this private relay thing in order to obtain more info about their customers, because that's significantly more accurate and truthful.

The browser ad on doesn't work in apps, and if they have a blocker outside of that, it probably uses a VPN on the loopback interface to strip out the ads. I run a VPN a fair bit, so I would only be adblocking when I'm not on the VPN. Are there any non-root methods that can do full system ad blocking other than the VPN thing?

Going to probably try this after I build my pihole and I can VPN home for ad blocking. Currently I need root to avoid seeing ads.

Daily computing is mostly FOSS programs and my laptop is sold with Linux preinstalled (though I bought the higher spec Windows version and installed Linux myself. Cloud is FOSS, self-hosted in the public cloud (until I get fiber). Phone is rooted Android w/ FOSS apps wherever they meet my needs. I'm about 50% through degoogling and de-Microsofting. Ereader is KOReader (FOSS) running on old Kindle brand hardware. Keyboard is Ergodox Ez which I think the firmware is FOSS. Smarthome is still Smartthings which is not FOSS.

I'm going to give myself a C- 70% FOSS
