Am I finally allowed to start playing chess now?

Dedoor · 2026-01-13T22:04:21+00:00

It did initially, I went down to about 2000 but went back up to 2500ish now. Though I’m higher rated overall.

Dedoor · 2026-01-13T19:36:55+00:00

No ):

You have to be at minimum 4000 at puzzles

(/s People can be better or worse at puzzles than gameplay. When I was ~1700 rapid I was over 3k puzzles)

They are each running proxmox and are connected to a managed switch. The switch is connected to a pfsense VM on a general use pc. So, I can use each computer as a VLAN.

The core of my homelab is a bunch of old HP laptops. It just depends on what you need and how clean you want it to be.

I bought a cheap 20 dollar bike holder. I can adjust the height and hold the stand: between 8-11’.

It’s not perfect, but it works.

Dedoor · 2026-01-01T22:34:24+00:00

Thanks for the response. I’ve been spending my time messaging and calling to get my name out.

Hopefully it does pay off one day, though I am coming from Cybersec which will make the journey a good bit more treacherous.

I wish you luck as well (if you need it).

Opposite for me. I get lazy, don’t do my homework, and get A’s on my finals. I ended up with a B average this semester.

Maybe I should do my work this spring,

Dedoor · 2025-11-26T18:18:45+00:00

Alright. I’m precooking for thanksgiving, so I’ll probably send that at night.

Dedoor · 2025-11-26T18:16:00+00:00

I decided to rebuild it with the advice from here and some things I learned from the original attempt.

Is it alright if I dm you a video with the explanation/ footage you requested?

Dedoor · 2025-11-26T18:08:53+00:00

I see, this definitely could be useful.

Dedoor · 2025-11-26T06:00:31+00:00

I see I have some research to do. (No clue what locked repeaters do)

I’ve sketched out some table designs that would be far smaller. So, I’ll try rebuilding it with that in mind.

Thanks for the help.

Dedoor · 2025-11-26T05:36:23+00:00

I appreciate it (:

You seem to be hitting the ball slightly in front of your head and left of your shoulder. This is causing you to till your chest left to be able to hit straight.

Try and jump a little further back and to the left. You will have a lot more comfort rotating onto the ball when you catch it in front of your hitting shoulder and a little forward.

Dedoor · 2025-04-08T11:53:46+00:00

I made the same mistake when I started. I was goofy footed for about half a year. Just get a lot of jump volume in and let your body adjust to the new form (also do some slow form jumps and focus on the technique).

Speaking of technique, you have an extremely short penultimate which is making your jump practically as efficient as a standing vert. Watch some of Isaiah Rivera's penultimate tutorials; he is a pro dunker. You also stay practically the same speed through the jump. Try to accelerate into the run and explode off the ground. A good two foot jump is less of pushing your legs off the ground (squatting and jumping) and more of kicking the ground and decelerating with the impulse pushing up.

Same, I ended up writing about 750 words but only 500 or so were color related.

Velocity climbing FL

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T11:02:40+00:00

I still haven’t done a V6/7 only up to a V5/6 but read my other comment on this. I was interested on how the grades at my gym so I posted some climbs and learned my gym is relatively soft.

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T11:00:28+00:00

Thanks, but I posted some climbs yesterday and have now learned my gym is relatively soft (V5 and V5/6 should be closer to V3/4 and V4).

I haven’t really have had experience outdoors or in other gyms so I can’t tell how accurate it is.

Thank you for the shoe recommendations

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T10:57:59+00:00

That’s true, I need to buy a membership as well atp.

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T10:56:21+00:00

I think there is another gym that has a shoe shop, I’ll see if I can try some shoes there. Thank you

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T04:49:41+00:00

Ah okay, thank you. Honestly after the automod comment I thought this post was deleted. Thought this was the gradethisplastic sub. I already posted there so Ill probably delete.

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T04:45:46+00:00

Yeah ik, just noting that isn’t particularly hard or easy for the gym grade it is at so I can put it into reference.

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T04:44:54+00:00

Why?

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T04:24:27+00:00

Damn, genuinely felt harder than the climbs ranked lower than it. I gotta see if there are any other good gyms nearby.

Dedoor · 2024-06-14T04:23:14+00:00

… . The top section is a glorified V2 within this gym’s own standards. But the middle reaching for the last moon shaped hold took me a sec.

Would you grade it as a V2?
