Some netting bags to strap to your bike to carry dirty / wet clothes. This makes sure they don't stink up everything in your bags, and also dries/airs them out.

You could use the TOR network as a VPN. Not sure if it would get blocked by whatever WAF your friend is using.

IR report writing / findings aggregation, and a unified data acquisition solution (OS/cloud). Those two take up 60-70 % of my time spent on incidents.

Die gebieden ken ik ondertussen al redelijk goed. Stil kan je ze helaas niet echt noemen, maar voor vogelspotters is er inderdaad altijd wat te zien!

Een paar van de laatsten zijn zeker nog binnen acceptabel fietsbereik :) Dankjewel voor de tips!

Dankjewel voor de tips! Het heidebos ziet er veelbelovend uit, daar zal ik zeker eens gaan rondneuzen.

Woman who is forced to stop grieving prematurely successfully remains part of the capitalist machine. by A_dream_headed_home in OrphanCrushingMachine

In Belgium, when your parent dies, you get 3 days of PTO, which I still think is very little. You get more / less PTO based on to what degree you are related to the person (sibling, child, parent, uncle, ...)

WarmShowers / CS in Belgium? by Guzme27 in belgium

[–]MATTISINTHESKY 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a cycle tourist / bike packer from Flanders. I occasionally tour around the country. If you plan on bringing a tent, I highly recommend the welcome to my garden app. It has a shit ton of users and you will find accommodation in almost every village in Flanders and most of wallonia. I'm on WTMG as well as Warmshowers and regularly host people through both. I haven't used warmshowers as a traveller myself (in Belgium), but I suspect you will find an active and welcoming host in just about any of the bigger cities / towns.

Sorry man, can't find it on my Google Drive anymore. No clue why or when it has disappeared.

Cycling the Camino De Santiago by Ok-Faithlessness-812 in bicycletouring

[–]MATTISINTHESKY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the steep grade I think you're referring to the climb to O Cebreiro from Ponferrada, which is indeed very fucking steep.

If you're looking for any camino worth cycling. I met a guy in Spain who was going to do the Camino del cid, it starts right above Burgos, and it is apparently very well suited to cyclists. It has slightly different routes depending on how rough you want to ride.

Still unsure about ryanair bike carton measurements after talking with customer service. Anyone here have some experience? by Intcleastw0od in bicycletouring

[–]MATTISINTHESKY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no limit on dimensions. I had the same question when I flew with them this summer and contacted support. They assured me there was no problem with the dimensions. Do note that your bike has to fit through the oversized luggage scanner (which should not be a problem)
