Hello random Lemming! Just wanted to thank you for this. I consider myself pretty well versed in tech and had not heard of Reticulum. More importantly, reading the docs it feels like I’m reading the writings of someone I agree with on a fundamental level - even about their departure from the public project.

Going to give it a whirl.

Again thanks

I was a paying customer for over 10 years and it just got worse and worse. I quit several years ago and haven’t looked back.

As it turns out, I love and I have always loved cycling and don’t need anyone else to see that.

I’m not saying that anyone else should behave the same way, you do you, but it was so freeing to just ride for the love of riding. No more “600m of circles” to make it to 200k, no more kudos to every workday commute, just the open road (or trails) and the freedom it provides.

Yes, I no longer race, but I do privately keep a record of my efforts and rides, but they’re now a side effect of the thing I love - not part of the focus.

The Bun rust re-write.

You’re absolutely right.

Toy Story 3 and 4. Far superior to 1 and 2 if you put aside the groundbreaking CG of the first.

I don’t disagree with you on principle - but I worry what with attention and nuance being nonexistent these days we end up with “we tried it once and it didn’t work” - and never get to a better solution.

I recently heard a possible California governor candidate talk good sense on better ways to tax the wealthy and he made a very reasoned argument against this tax - it changed my mind. Note: am not American.

I have heard a few people talk sanely about the tax and the more I hear the more ridiculous this one time “fee” sounds.

I heard a far better proposal about closing the tax loopholes they use. Wealthy folks are borrowing tax free against unrealized capital gains. They pay little to no tax on it.

It’s not sexy but it’s a way better solution because not only does it tax the people who need to be taxed, it also begins to help people push back against capital being more powerful than labour.

It’s also far less costly to implement. You borrow against unrealized capital gains to live as if it were income - boom income tax.

I worked on a large(ish) contract (tens of millions) with one of Microsoft’s engineering teams where they were implementing an Azure managed version of software we produced. I would regularly refuse to install teams at the meetings, using teams in-browser only.

It also ensured that the technical project manager had to be the one to transcribe anything in our notes into whatever tools Microsoft was using.

While it was never said, the Microsoft engineers seemed to completely understand and never pushed back against my refusal to a) install crapware and b) not take on work that wasn’t mine.

Not using teams: win win.

It is owned by Lenovo, make of that what you will.

Google is also basically American. Make of that what you will.

We got a relatively cheap adapter that works great. It’s from Ottocast. I don’t know what the current/new model is like but ours works pretty well with two phones of the primary drivers.

We’ve had our Niro EV for over 6 years now and it remains an excellent vehicle. The only failure so far was in the AC. Other than that, it had required almost no maintenance.

We did a proactive reduction gear oil change and had the brakes cleaned once due to lack of use (regen and driving style mean the brakes are not used frequently).

Love that it just looks normal.

We pinky promise to follow through on being nice and not detaining/disappearing you.
