Commuter Rainjacket in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Endura MT500 Waterproof Jacket II is a top notch cycling jacket. Intended for mountain biking but imo outperforms most road stuff. Ridiculously good ventilation. Over-the-helmet hood is much less claustrophobic than wearing it underneath.

My only quarrel is that it's not all that packable, but that really isn't a problem in commuting.

Has held up for two years now.

Should I keep shared or separate k8s clusters? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Right now I'm solving this by having two separate ingress controllers in one cluster - one for private stuff only available over a vpn, and one only available over public ips.

How's this working out? What kinda alternatives are there with a single cluster?

What OSS tools do you use for personal knowledge & task management? in c/[email protected]

Tasks.org for tasks and Joplin for notes. Both can be synced with various technologies.

When installing an encrypted Arch system, I couldn't figure out how to change the keymap in GRUB stage 1, which asks for the passphrase and then decrypts /boot. I just entered my passphrase with the default en-us keymap without really knowing what characters it outputs.

Packable rain jacket recommendations in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I ended up getting the Montbell Versalite. It sure packs down small, and is lightweight.

The only complaints I have are that the hood has to worn under helmet, and the lightweight fabric can be a bit flappy in hing speeds. The latter is probably an weakness problem of ultralight jackets. My heavier jackets handle winds much more gracefully.

All in all, it's an ok compromise.

It's supposed to mold to your butt's shape, while still being a hard surface (which tends to avoid soft tissue bruises). I think it's only relevant for bikes you ride for days. My city bike has this ancient plastic saddle with springs, and it does the job just fine.

That would be reasonable as well.

But why stop there!? You could improve the thermal properties by covering it with reflective folio and adding holes for ventilation! Or you could skip the holes and have pretty good water resistance as well.

Adjusting is a good point in some circumstances. No need for it here though.

Insomnia shittified. Insomnium is the fork (github.com)
 

Insomnia, an API development/debugging/testing tool, has been thoroughly enshittified. It now requires a cloud account to use, even though most of the use is just sending requests from your local machine (to servers often running on localhost too).

Luckily it was OSS so we have a new fork without the cloud "features": Insomnium

Getting started (on Linux) (sopuli.xyz)
 

Hey!

I just found out about KSP and really want to get into it. However I'm a bit a confused about the best way to begin. Here are some questions about the setup:

  1. Apparently KSP2 isn't all that great and I should just get the original game?

  2. Given I did that, should I get DLCs? Do they add meaningful content or are they just overlapping with mods?

  3. Mod recommendations? Not looking to make the game needlessly complicated, but just the kinda mods that a beginner would consider improvements.

  4. Install method? Steam Linux version, direct download Linux version or windows version through Proton?

Thanks!

PS. KSP is on Steam sale until 11.9!

Long and narrow sleeping pads (sopuli.xyz)

Sleeping pad sizes seem to be standardized somehow like this:
normal: 183cm x 55cm
long: 195 cm x 65cm

I.e. the longer is also wider. I need extra length but not the width. (It creates complications with the limited tent floorspace.)

So, do you know any sleeping pads with dimensions around 195 cm x 55cm?

So far I have really only found two: Robens Vapour 60 and Robens Primavapour 60.

These work alright for warm weathers but a pad with higher R-value is still missing from my radar.

Packable rain jacket recommendations (sopuli.xyz)
 

Rain jackets intended for road cycling tend to be just jerseys with a waterproof membrane, which sucks in every other situation of life. I'm looking for something more versatile.

MTB gear is usually quite fully featured, often just not very packable. E.g. I really enjoy my Endura MT500 II rain jacket. It has pockets, ventilation zips and a helmet compatible hood. In my vision the perfect travel jacket would be similar but from a more lightweight/packable fabric.

The best I've found so far is Montbell Versalite, which checks all the boxes except over the helmet hood, as it's not intended for helmet wearing sports. (Sure one can wear the hood under the helmet too, but it would be nicer to wear it on top.)

Are you aware of any alternatives that would have a helmet compatible hood? Or just otherwise good jackets with different compromises?

Card battlers without continuous payments (sopuli.xyz)
 

Looking for recommendations of "traditional" battle card games where you don't have to buy new expansions every few months. (Being able to grind the cards with playtime doesn't count.)

I know that there are some decent open-source MTG rule-engines which makes MTG a viable option. (xmage, forge)

Then Slay the Spire comes to mind, possibly there are other good solitares as well?

It's a beer recipe planning / brewday helper software.

Personally I've been using it for years and been really happy with it.

What a pleasant surprise. Feels way more personal than some pdf file which I wouldn't likely read.
