Having a few random mixes of yours I've (somehow) collected over the years amongst others, I didn't expect to click through a random Soundcloud link and see your name. Thanks for all the great tunes!

I was looking at one of the cheaper minis, but between educational discount and wanting a bit of RAM (and cores) for some map tile rendering stuff I want to play with over winter, I nudged it up... I'm hoping for a lot-of-years life ou

I ordered one, still went for a $2K+ Mac mini, but yeah. My goal is to replace an aged 27" iMac and because of doing DTP type work, I wanted a nice high DPI screen. Really seriously considered a new iMac, but the mini and a non-Apple-s

I'm finding this monitor: https://press.asus.com/news/press-releases/asus-proart-5k-pa... ...to be looking really appealing to pair with one of these new Mac Minis. $899 MSRP in the US, 5120 x 2880, same dime

This thing feels weird. In Southeast Michigan the popup is for "Ann Arbor Area", yet it stretches from VERY rural areas to Ann Arbor (a wealthy college town), across Detroit, across where all auto companies are, etc. This makes it

I apologize if this is something stupid, or answered elsewhere, but is there a good way to trim Planet down to a smaller area? I've been making some custom map stuff for mountain bike trails and I'd really like to move to self-hos

I've personally been using Gaia more and more. OsmAnd is great, but the additional layers available (beyond OSM) in Gaia are really useful in remote areas.

I had one of these. Somehow got it on clearance at Circuit City when it was being EOL'd. I must have hit that window just right, because I got it for something like $450? Managed to sell it about five years back for $200, and someone p

Nope, I'm talking about riding fairly high end gravel bikes on Southeast Michigan (US) dirt roads on which the surface has been treated with a chloride spray which acts as a binder and water repellent for the road surface. The treatmen

I'm mostly thinking of dirt roads which have been treated with a chloride spray. And I'm being a wee bit hyperbolic with the cleanup time, but an hour ride can result in an hour+ of cleanup if I need to get the (corrosive) chlorid

Deraillers are a bit more efficient (almost no loss) and overall simpler to work on. They also (generally) offer a wider range of geear ratios. Internal hubs work great, but have a bit more loss, tend to weigh more, and when they start goin

(Note, I don't have an eBike.) Friends will sometimes give me crap for not riding in poor weather, but whether it's mountain bike, road, or gravel, riding in wet/muddy conditions just result in so much work. The bike itself g

It may be, but without a way to see that, why would I ever consider paying?

I dunno... I can get a Moccamaster for that price, or another pretty darn good other drip maker for under $200. If this just has to agitate the brewing area with ultrasound and not much else, there's no reason for it to cost a lot. Som

First, I went and looked at my house... It's got a lot of tall oak trees near by and in a park across the street. It shows it almost completely in daylight save for building shadows, which is really wrong even right now as most of the

If they sell a reasonably priced machine (say, under US$400) which is easy to clean, doesn't use any sort of pod/cup, doesn't have any subscription malarkey, and is reasonably sized, I'll give it a very serious look. The

There was a point, 2017 or so, where I was riding a ton and being mindful of what I ate. I think I dropped ~10 pounds and gained a bunch of muscle. Since then I've backed off riding a bit, and am definitely not as aware of what I eat (

I'd wager that if you started riding the same amount, at the same HR, you wouldn't lose that 25. (I say this as someone who rides a lot, somewhat competitively, and has directly observed that weight loss comes in the kitchen, not

I loved this book, because I found the overarching themes were "be nice to people and they'll like you and want to work with you" and "here's some genuine ways you can engage with and be nice to people". It hel

Upstream mattered a lot for responsiveness. This was really before the idea of ACK Prioritization [1] TCP connections, so the standard small upstream of 56K had an impact that didn't quite get felt as much as it did on symmetric ISDN.

I had ISDN in Southeast Michigan (bit north of Mt. Clemens) back in the late 90s and it was amazing. Being local, your stoy really caught my ear. I wonder about that timing, though, because 56K modems weren't available in '92. The

Years ago I bought a Nikon Coolscan V to scan in all of my parents' old 110 slides. I would have loved a solution like this at the time, although that worked well (and way better than I thought) and the price ended up reasonable. I wis

I think you may be misunderstanding someone who isn't a native English speaker. I believe they, restated, indicated that they are aware of the alcohol content, because they use it to clean wounds to the skin.

That's actually my least favorite part as well. I like being able to see what friends did and use that info for routing, but I have to be careful. If I start flipping through the feed on a day (or week) when I'm not riding I'

Outside of the basics of analysis, Golden Cheetah is nothing like Strava. Strava is a social network, map-based ride reviewer, heatmap tool, and basic ride analysis tool. GC is a not-great map viewer and VERY deep ride data dive tool for tr

You have to draw a line, then edit all it's parameters. It's a pain.

Does the VM get the address via DHCP, or something else? I'd first answer that, then answer how the VM is supposed to get configured, then figure out how to break down/instrument the steps along the way.

Because it was designed with Toyota I don't know if the BRZ does it, but a number of other Subarus will kick on an recovery pump ~6 hours after ignition. It sounds sort of like a small/quiet compressor. Before I looked up what it
