But how can I trust you?

You can't.

Can you trust me?

No.

Use https://www.passwordstore.org/. Sync it to a trusted person's git server. Put the gpg key on a usb stick and give it to them. Write the password to the GPG key on a piece of paper and give it to your lawyer with instructions to give it to your trusted person in the event of your death.

Spokes and nipples: Several wheel builders I trust told me to use DT Swiss Competitions. That is all I have used. No complaints.

I bent three Velocity Blunt 35s. Now I use DT Swiss XM 481's even though they only come in black.

Edit: disclaimer: I probably bent them on either rock gardens or jumps. I would not hesitate to get Velocity rims for a road or gravel bike.

Edit 2: neither of these are cheap, unless you are comparing to carbon aero dentist wheels or something

No, I believe it this way. It used to be one service that had access to everything it needs. Now it is microservices, so each microservice is caching a bunch of stuff, but of course all the wrong stuff, so every request requires at least one network call downstream. Thus more memory usage and slower.

Light rail is typically used in situations where it is fitting the trains into smaller spaces, often sharing space with other modes of transport. Building it to a heavier grade would cost more and offer no benefit. Even if you spend the money to build a light rail line to support a longer, heavier, faster train, you could not run that train anyway, because the spaces is shared, the turns may be too tight, the bridges may be too low, there may be no space for platforms. It is more cost and space effective to have separate lines.

Note, many light rail networks use standard gauges, so they can use standard maintenance equipment.

I am much more interested in ANT-HAM, ALB-SAI, and HAD-HUL-ALO than in NOR-VER-PIA.

I have a Raspberry Pi running MPD with a HiFiBerry Digi+ Standard; the optical out goes to an amp in one room, and the coax goes to an amp in another room. (So those two always play the same thing.)

For each additional room, I add another Raspberry Pi with access to the music on the primary Raspberry Pi via sshfs, running MPD, with either another HiFiBerry Digi+ or a USB DAC, and connect to the amplifier in that room. Each room added this way plays different music.

If you wanted all the rooms to have the same thing playing, you could add multiple USB DACs to a single Raspberry Pi, each going somewhere else, MPD can output to all of them. It is probably better to have longer USB runs than longer analog audio runs. Or you can run the analog audio over shielded cat6.

I have not tried adding a Bluetooth input to the Raspberry PI, but it seems like that would be possible with pipewire or jack.

The Netherlands.

I knew this was coming since the results of the 2016 Democrat primaries. I am furious about it. I am furious at the people who do not vote, and those who do not inform themselves before they vote. (I am also obviously furious at the billionaires and their lackeys, the bigots, and the grifters. But they are the minority and should be outvoted easily.)

I moved. If I am going to live somewhere where I have no influence over politics, I may as well live somewhere more pleasant.

The Democrats did not lose because of protest voters who voted for 3rd party candidates. The number of protest voters was too small to affect the outcome.

For those unfamiliar with the area, the tunnel that all of the cyclists are riding out of in the second half of the video is a huge bicycle parking station at the central train station. According to Wikipedia, it is the largest bicycle parking station in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utrecht_Centraal_station#Bicycles

I wrote a script and bound it to a key combo so I can draw a rectangle on the screen and map my drawing tablet to that area.

Future improvement: force the mapped area to the same aspect ratio as the tablet. I hope I can find a better way to programmatically get the ratio than running xinput list-devices and parsing out "Size: 160x100mm".

Bound via bindsym $mod+Shift+t exec ~/.config/sway/tablet-map. Is there a better way to reference the way config directory?
