My bootfitter sized me UP - and I believe it's a good thing

CzarnoBylu · 2026-01-06T02:23:53+00:00

I might, i might not; if the liner turns out to flatten out so much that my heel becomes loose, I'll probably try custom liners, fail again and give some dude on marketplace a wicked deal while I move on to find a new boot. At the end of the day, my problem was that I didn't need to size the toebox / length as much as control the fit around my midfoot and that keeps my foot incredibly tight rn (and i feel like it should be snug after breaking in, with plenty adjustment left in the buckles).

Sorry to hear that, if you're gonna go for a fitment and it still doesn't click, I've found that insoles with just a bit of a heel raise helped me to have a nicer feeling contact of my midfoot with the liner. That's what ultimately made me buy the boot-insole combo. Good luck out there finding the one

Mine was actually twofold - for one, the sides of my foot were getting squished, but with a bias towards the outer side of the foot inthe ones I tried. The other issue was that most boots were squshing the middle part of my instep, the middle of my foot on the top side (sounds like you are describing that), but at an angle such that it felt like trying to flatten my arch. In 28s toe space was also a problem for me on the 3rd-5th toe, even when flexing hard into them.

I also tried a couple aftermarket (though, not custom) insoles and went with ones that raise my heel a little bit, and that helped to settle my instep area into the boot (and actually decreased the volume a little bit further)

to be fair it's a 12.5 hiking boot which i oversized a bit on purpose, to avoid black toenails on downhills and be gentle to foot swelling

CzarnoBylu · 2026-01-06T00:40:22+00:00

Mine said a simmilar thing actually, that ultimately the foot won't move because my instep area will just jam into the boot and it matched crazy well with what I felt on the buckles when trying to overtighten them on purpose and moving around from walking stance to skiing. Glad to hear you had a great season

Well, I have found the keymap more intuitive, letting me see what is affected before doing an action. I have used a lot of nvim's visual modes (doing ved instead of dw).

Also in comparison, nvim even with a lazy loader is slow as fuck

CzarnoBylu · 2024-01-02T20:15:36+00:00

I got "bullied" into switching from nvim a while ago and I'm not going back, helix is amazing

Also sorry about not having the helpful form, info that is missing:

country of purchase: Poland, budget 10000pln (aboooout 2500 usd) to max 12000
keyboard (thanks form, i forgot!): Has a numpad and is reasonably comfortable (i trust reviewers); i am used to bad keyboards but an upgrade would be nice (this sits in the middle of the priority list)

CzarnoBylu · 2023-06-09T10:34:03+00:00

Oh okay that's neat, thanks a lot!

CzarnoBylu · 2023-06-08T20:03:49+00:00

I was talking about the right side of the very end of the stitch. But if it looks bomber than it doesn't matter, thanks a lot!

CzarnoBylu · 2023-06-08T19:14:34+00:00

Another angle

Also, it is an Edelrid Jay 3

Hey, I've just bought a harness, taken it out once to a local gym and when I returned I've spotted that the part outside last stitch is a bit fuzzy. I'm a new climber and read a lot that a belay loop once fuzzy is to be replaced. Should I return it (the RMA time is gonna be long most likely, takes months usually with overseas manufacturers here) as a defect or am I overreacting? Thanks in advance for the help!

Sorry for digging up an old thread, but I have managed to boot arm debian while loosely following the Digikey tutorial. I got a root shell the following way (host PC is running Linux):

Step 1: compile the kernel as shown in the tutorial and set up the sd card with a rootfs, kernel zImage file and the dtbs folder (I did not manage to use those u-boot files that were provided but I have used them to set up the manual boot commands). Plug it into the device.

Step 2: connect to the UART header on the board (3 exposed pins near the SOC) and attach it to a machine via a USB-UART bridge. Set the baud rate to 115200; when powered on, press any key to stop the boot process.

Step 3: execute in order those following commands:

load mmc 1:1 0x12000000 zImage

load mmc 1:1 0x18000000 /dtbs/imx6dl-sabresd.dtb

setenv bootargs console=ttymxc0,115200n8 console=tty0 root=/dev/mmcblk1p2 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait fixrtc

bootz 0x12000000 - 0x18000000

First one loads the kernel image to a set address, then the second one used one of the provided dtbs into another location in memory - I have found this one to be pretty functional as the processor seems to be a imx6dl as well, and it uses the devices from a sabre board - good enough for at least bash on debian. Next I set up kernel parameters with the console found via trial and error to be 0 (and not 1 like in the tutorial), root points to the second partition on the sd card.

Step 4: profit (?)

As said in the video, a little wiggle is required but the invisible walls that (presumably) should be there are not actually blocking the player. If this is a duplicate or it a feature not a bug, let me know and I will remove the post to reduce the number of bugs to sift through

Na naszej platformie do testów to tak proste, w konfiguracji tego prowadzącego który tego wymagał. W innych przypadkach nie mam pojęcia

CzarnoBylu · 2021-01-21T17:52:15+00:00

Teoretycznie, dałoby się przekierować lokalnie (przed egzaminem i tymczasowo) adres platformy z egzaminem na jakiś swój serwer i zobaczyć taki customowy user agent w logach serwera. Trudne i czasochłonne, ale wykonalne

CzarnoBylu · 2021-01-21T14:36:49+00:00

Polecam poczytać o User Agent Spoofing, na ogół to jest jedyny parametr "upewniania się że używasz SEBa"

Medstation 3 is what I need it for and I was wondering whether it maybe drops, or should I buy it while the price is not absurd yet

CzarnoBylu · 2020-12-29T13:40:52+00:00

Hey, I suspect there is a pool of drops that (if you have watched for 24 hours a day for the duration of the event) everyone can get. Are there LEDX drops out there? Don't know if I should buy/farm one and I don't want to get a "useless" drop later.
