You'd do the same if the last time you left fish on your wooden table, it took days for the stench to go away.

Meh, I guess I will need to find a new way to install Home Assistant on my Orange Pi.

The instructions I found apparently uses the supervised version even if it's running in docker.

It's been a while since I looked into installing/reinstalling HA but AFAIK using anything else than a Raspberry Pi seems discouraged, which is... discouraging.

I'm Canadian but I went to Europe twice and I must admit that I passed by Amsterdam, because my first trip was landing there and departing from there, but I only spent a few minutes visiting the city. My main goal was Germany. I spent a few days in Hamburg and Berlin.

The second trip was also in Germany, along the Rhine, and ended in Belgium. Wallonia has nice bike trails, and I must go back to visit more of the Eifel region.

Why am I "avoiding" France? Because I speak French natively, and never considered France exotic enough. I did go to Martinique and Guadeloupe though, it's closer than France, and much warmer. But I also met French people there and they suggested some places to visit in France. So now I'm planning a trip around the Bordeaux region.

However my mother thinks Europe is a country. She is always confused when I say I went to Europe and visited Germany and Belgium.

AFAIK it's acceptable if the parent is walking or sitting with the child. It's only abusive if you tie the leash outside while you go run some errands in a store, or if left attached in the backyard.

Sorry, I don't want to be the pessimistic person but I don't have a driver's license and cycle almost everywhere I can.

I don't even live in the US and feel like a second class citizen. Everyone around me is encouraging me to get a license and a real vehicle. To them, cycling is not serious. Cyclists are dangerous and cycling is dangerous. You are not a real person to society if you dont drive. The social pressure is insane.

Even the police is telling me to be careful and think of the poor car driver that would be traumatized by hitting me. It's their way of doing safety prevention.

Bike if you can. But be aware that you will need to be strong in multiple ways. Not just the legs.

Oh, yes, so much surprise.

All I can see is the LINNMON IKEA table.

And there I am on my bike being told by the police to be careful because I could traumatize a car driver that hits me.

Great to confirm that you can be fucking high while driving a lethal multi ton vehicle and if a cyclist of a pedestrian gets hit, it's gonna be an "accident" from the driver, and the cyclist or pedestrian's fault anyway, for not wearing a helmet, or not being visible enough.

Ah, yes. Having lots of money and an expensive sports car = completing/winning the game. Sure.

Generally, yes. However, depending on how you get internet, it might be much more difficult to change an IP.

On cable, there is no guarantee that restarting your modem/router will change your IP. Lots of cable ISP have the policy to reassign the same IP as long as the DHCP lease can be renewed.

There are tricks like trying to unplug the modem for a long time, or change enough of its configuration/reset it to get a new lease. Or use a separate router that can change its MAC address.

Even if dynamic, some people can be "stuck" with the same IP for a while. In my case I can have the same one for months.

EDIT: I nearly deleted this comment.

Bah, sound quality is just okay. It's fine for podcasts and electronic without bass, but it's kind of annoying for some types of music.

It works but.. meh.

Headphones on a bike are illegal in my province. So I once bought a bluetooth speaker for my bike. I don't really like imposing my music to anyone and tried to keep it at a minimum level but stills didn't like it. So now I use bone conduction headphones. Unfortunately they are also in a grey area where they could also be illegal.

In short, if you want to listen to music on a bike here, your only legal option is a speaker. Anything else is unsafe and could traumatize a poor car driver that hits a cyclist that didn't hear them coming (according to the police here).

Otherwise get a car and blast the music with the windows open like a normal safe person. or close the windows and don't hear anything around, but this is much safer than having headphones while cycling, obviously.

Same with walking or jogging with headphones. Are you out of your mind? Some poor car driver could hit reckless runners jumping in front of their car because they couldn't hear it coming.

No, society wants everyone not in a car to keep quiet and don't ruin their silence, with all the soothing car noises, so it's safer this way. No headphones on a bike, it's not safe! You need to hear that car blasting music that's coming at you.
