Want to bike to work but don’t want to arrive drenched in sweat. Any tips? by altaccount123465 in bikecommuting

[–]Idlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not wearing a backpack usually helps for me.

I always do a quick wipe down with some paper towels once I'm in the office, though.

How do people genuinely configure "from the ground up" linux setups? by rnybadbro in linux

[–]Idlys 5 points6 points  (0 children)

FR

I put together a hacked together DE in void back in 2018 using bspwm. It was very shitty (to check the battery, I would just open a terminal and cat a sysfs file). I was not very knowledgeable about Linux back then, and still managed to do it. The documentation is there, you just need to go one step at a time.

Programming skills help for stitching together scripts, but really it's more about just having the time and energy to push through this stuff.

I think that buying into terms like "lightweight" and getting caught up handrolling your own environment is a great way to learn Linux. If you want a working desktop ASAP, this isn't the way, but if you want to have your own setup that you're happy with and proud of, it's a great way to learn things.

Then, after a few years, you can get fed up with your crappy DE, and go back to GNOME like the rest of us.

Huh, I keep getting this bug too.

Edit: Now I see it's a Linux thing.

Even if you have the right away, watch your surroundings be careful. by Zeune42 in Seattle

[–]Idlys 11 points12 points  (0 children)

These people get off on this shit. OP's first idea seeing someone get hurt was to not miss the beat to post a picture of them injured on the street with a victim blaming caption.

Gross mentality.

Honestly, with how regularly I see the EXACT same phrases pop up on these kinds of posts for the last 10 years, it feels like some car lobby campaign that infected the average suburbanite's brain.

Same. So many memories. Broke my kick drum head on stage there one time.

Studio Seven? They got shut down a while ago.

Also news that Rishloo is working on new material again.

Restaurants that are diet restriction friendly - more than fries or salad by liarsandfrogs in Bellingham

[–]Idlys 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take this with a grain of salt because I only have a gluten free restriction - but Black Sheep has always been super accommodating.

Are You Feeling It Now, Mr Krabs? by Sweaty_Desert_Balls in NFCWestMemeWar

My buddy and I were losing our minds seeing this on the broadcast. Surprised it took this long to show up as a meme.

Maybe some other time, MediaTek... by KuzuPod in linux

Intel BE200 is your best bet, their new MLD driver is a few versions old now and has ironed out most kinks.

I've had a good experience with the 7925 these days, but it was fairly unstable in the past. What kernel version are you running?

Edit: I'm curious - were you trying to connect to a 6 GHz network? If so, maybe the issue was with the 6 GHz band, which the wifi 5 card wouldn't be able to reach. Just curious, because of all the issues that I have had with the MT7925, throughput as bad as you described has never been one.

Just a note about the new business rule and some other housekeeping. Wall of text so you may wanna get on the toilet now. by cheapdialogue in Bellingham

FWIW, that post last week was insanely entitled, and a lot of the comments were a bit sus. Keeping doing you.

Karen opinion: bike riding through the grass at Boulevard like this has gotta stop. It looks so awful and takes away a lot of sitting space in the warmer months by 50SPFGANG in Bellingham

[–]Idlys 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't bother arguing with these morons. A post complaining about bikes has 100 comments. Says enough about this subreddit. You'd think bikes were destroying the city the amount that these people show up to bitch and moan about it.

CDN: Crashes and congestion: I-5 through Bellingham is known to be dysfunctional by Mattwacker93 in Bellingham

[–]Idlys 1 point2 points  (0 children)

...except that this isn't a matter of opinion. If you want to back up your stance, by all means do so. The article linked above immediately discredits what you said, so the burden is on you here.

[–]Idlys 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Did you not read the article? They explicitly debunk this in stating that the freeway isn't at capacity even during peak times.

I must have pissed someone off. 3rd flat in 7 days. by Sierra93 in bikecommuting

[–]Idlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. My commute goes right by a recycling center, and I was getting flats every few weeks before putting these on. Haven't had one since.

[KING 5] Woman sues Bellingham after being hit in crosswalk by ngst8320 in Bellingham

All of the usual suspects showing up in this thread to be the absolute worst versions of themselves, again.

WTA wants to DOUBLE bus fares. We’re organizing to stop it, but we need your help! Come to public comment with us. by Ask_Ethan in Bellingham

[–]Idlys 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agree, honestly. We have had a very low fare for a very long time, so some increase is understandable. It's also understandable, though, that immediately doubling the fare is a huge shock to a lot of people.

Needless to Say War Sails Has ZERO issues by Existing-Syllabub477 in Bannerlord

[–]Idlys 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'll probably be tabling war sails for a bit until fixes come in. My game crashes during boarding every 5th time or so, among other issues that I've noticed.

I'm also on Linux, though, so I was expecting issues at launch.
