It's funny that the high end (human powered/"analog") bikes tend to actually be pretty good at this. Want to change your $5k+ bike from 11s to 12s? Yep, should be doable


you'll need to replace group set and possibly the rear hub, but it's totally possible.

Upgrade from cable to electronic shifting? Again, totally doable.

Switch from Shimano to SRAM or Campy? Yep, should be possible.

Now, if you crack your carbon frame...well, that's another story.

Kids, this is why dimensional analysis matters.

That's how I started using Linux


big book with CD, I think it was "RedHat Linux Secrets 5.4" or something. 2.0 or 2.2 kernel.

Honestly, it was fantastic. And almost all of it is still relevant today. (Some of the stuff on xfree86 and the chap/pap stuff not so much.)

But it gave a really solid (IMHO) intro to a Linux/*NIX system, a solid overview of coreutils, etc. And while LILO has been long replaced, and afaik /sys didn't exist at the time, it formed a good foundation.

I'll refrain from commenting on any init system changes that have taken place since then.

Just use your $200+ Fluke to check the batteries, problem solved.

Shoot fish with lasers. No need to compensate for refraction, problem solved.

I think an issue here is that taxonomic and colloquial definitions don't always agree.

Spiders are colloquially bugs, but they're not taxonomically "true bugs" (which is itself a colloquialism for Hemiptera). Tomatos are colloquially vegetables but taxonomically fruits...but afaik vegetable is a purely colloquial term anyway.

And as someone else in the thread mentioned, colloquial berries are not always taxonomic berries.

So...colloquially, "plants" sorta means, "macroscopic multicellular living non-animal thing," but taxonomically it's something else.

No, I don't see any handcuffs...

...it's a myocardial infraction.

Wouldn't be surprised if he thinks the bad guys won the American Civil War, too...

If you have a TV, you likely already have the receiving device. Antenna can cost, or you can play around with wire length and orientation.

It's mostly so that I can have SSL handled by nginx (and not per-service), and also for ease of hosting multiple services accessible via subdomains. So every service is its own subdomain.

Additionally, my internal network (as in, my physical LAN) does not have any port forwarding enabled


everything is over WireGuard to my VPS.

For a while I thought the Google AI result had a pretty logical, well thought out, practical solution


use glue.

My method:

VPS with reverse proxy to my public facing services. This holds SSL certs, and communicates with home network through WireGuard link configured on my router.

Local computer with reverse proxy for all services. This also has SSL certs, and handles the same services as the VPS, so I can have local/LAN speeds. Additionally, it serves as a reverse proxy for all my private services, such as my router/switches/access point config pages, Jellyfin, etc.

No complaints, it mostly just works. I also have my router override DNS entries for my FQDN to resolve locally, so I use the same URL for accessing public services on my LAN.
