  • I’d recommend you don’t sweat the time at all. Unless you enjoy the competitive aspect and are willing to train hard, that is. Even then, I’ve witnessed people who are into racing get discouraged from cycling as they age and their results stop being competitive at a certain level. I like randonneuring because it makes you haul ass, but leaves you enough leeway to enjoy the experience as an adventure and a challenge. I have written a bit about a few rides, if you are interested.









  • a viable alternative

    It’s already a viable alternative. I can tell because I’m only here and not there anymore and lack nothing

    we need to convince more Redditors to switch over by mentioning Lemmy in the right threads

    This is just the worst idea. First off, it would require me to have a reddit account, which I nuked. Second, it’d require me to go to reddit and there’s no more ingress points that won’t rape my eyes. And finally, I’m not using my time and energy proselytizing just to accelerate another tragedy of the commons.

    I’m glad I’m not the only one into the old British Guy music. Pete and Bas rule and I like the Northern Boys alright too.

    Well, Sindhu World is creme de la creme of the UK drill scene at the moment. There’s no one of any age who makes better, more playful / fun and in the case of Northern Boys / Norman Pain more relatable (to the common non-gangster person) rap - I came by this opinion by systematically combing through Pressplay Media and GRM Daily after I saw Pete and Bas for the first time. Also, both 91shots and Handsome Dexter produce top notch industrial-strength instrumentals - I give a slight edge to Dexter for playfulness and crazy pockets he carves in unexpected places.

    Though, after listening to it all, I have to say Norman Pain hits especially hard. It reminds me of Alice in Chains in the nineties coming as a counter to all the glam prancing around.


  • Performance of OSMand is actually great on mid-level SOCs I usually get. Anything with snapdragon 6xx or more and performance is a non-issue for me, especially since it has a new opengl2 renderer. Also, it uses very, very little battery navigating me with voice (so screen off) along a pre-defined GPX on locally downloaded maps in airplane mode. And the simplicity of the interface is a downside once you spend a few hours tinkering with OSMand and get used to all it can do.
