Edit: The way I had it in the photos is correct. Thanks for helping me out, those who chimed in!

Original question:

I replaced the straight handlebars with risers on my mountain bike, and because of the slightly longer distances involved, I have to replace the brake and gear cables with slightly longer ones.

Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the cable clamp for the front derailleur before I undid it. Now I'm clueless as to how to route the replacement cable - basically the same problem as this poster on RetroBike, except their derailleur is different from mine.

I have super old parts, so I've had a hard time finding documentation online. The best documentation I've found is the following:

• Parts List (1-page PDF)
• Service Instructions (1-page PDF)

In the service instructions, third column, "SIS adjustment" section, three-quarters of the way down, it says:

• Cut off any unnecessary cable, attach an end cup, and hook it onto the pin.
• Note: Pass the cable through as shown in the illustration.

What is absolutely throwing me for a loop is the illustration seems to show the cable running from the bottom upward, but... how? Can anyone help me figure out what I'm missing? I feel like a dumb dumb.

A long-uncertain plan to add protected bike lanes to an over three-mile portion of Connecticut Avenue in Northwest DC has been officially canceled, according to city officials. But is this really the end of the battle between those who favor the lanes and those who oppose them?

Executives at the Washington Area Bicyclist Association tell Washingtonian that they are gearing up to push back against the decision. On their website, they’ve posted a petition to restore the plan for bike lanes, and they are currently making plans to speak out at upcoming DDOT hearings.

EDIT: After reading all the responses, I’ve decided to allow cookies to persist after they close the browser, which I expect will make it so that 2FA doesn’t kick in as often, at least not on their most frequently used web sites. I may also look into privacy oriented browser extensions that might offer some protection, such as Privacy Badger. Thanks, all!

OP: I know two factor authentication is considered more secure than just passwords, but here’s the deal: One of my family members uses Linux Mint on their laptop (at my recommendation and yes, they are aware that it’s not a Mac), and while they’ve mostly adapted to the different workflows (coming from a macbook), one of their biggest pain points is that web sites are constantly challenging them because they don’t recognize their machine. It’s frustrating to them because they used to just allow all cookies in Safari, whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed. I know this isn’t a Linux/Firefox issue, but I think they might not see it that way and I worry they’ll get frustrated to the point that they’ll go out and splurge on a new macbook air when they already have a perfectly functional laptop with functional OS.

Right now I’m thinking of adding their most frequently used web sites as exceptions in Firefox settings so at least those cookies would persist after closing the browser, making them easier to log into. Or maybe I’ll just allow all cookies indefinitely, although I’d rather not just throw in the towel on Big Surveillance. Is there another way to walk that line between convenience and security that I’m not thinking of? Should I just remove my tin foil hat and allow all cookies indefinitely?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
