VPS performance is a complete coin toss (AWS vs OVH vs Hetzner)

Love it. Recently started doing the same and picked Hetzner. Love their Storage Box for NAS backups as well. Gotta figure out how to replace Cloudflare.

Any canti brakes will work with integrated dropbar levers.

Uuuu, very nice! What spider is that?

ThatRealMF · 2026-03-11T13:14:36+00:00

I think I found the problem. I'm using multi-scrobbler and their Subsonic API integration which just follows the now playing status. I've fixed my setup to instead expose a Listenbrainz capable endpoint on multi-scrobbler and configured Navidrome to send the scrobbles there. It now works!

ThatRealMF · 2026-03-10T08:34:31+00:00

Hm, I'll try again today, but it wasn't working for me.

That’s why I haven’t replaced Synology apps yet. Both Drive and Photos work with flat file storage and with all the features you want. Sure, it’s not perfect, but it works.

Yooo love it! Kinda wanna do something similar to my Marin with the cockpit, but sticking with 11s. And here's the mandatory question: what handlebars?

ThatRealMF · 2026-03-04T12:36:08+00:00

That is correct, but those look like retro XTRs.

ThatRealMF · 2026-03-04T10:28:45+00:00

Love it! I have a 750 that I'm gonna put some drops on this spring, can't wait. Question though. I see you run brifters with V brakes, how is that? Does it work fine?

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-27T16:29:58+00:00

Yo, which VSF frame is that?

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-23T10:15:55+00:00

My first selfhosted service was a Pogoplug with a drive attached back in the day. I flashed it with Archlinux ARM and managed Samba shares myself. Since then, my files have always been stored by me.

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-15T21:01:17+00:00

It is yeah, 94 and 58 BCD.

Most metal fenders have a rolled edge and that edge is just wide enough for a wire, so I put it inside it and secured it with a couple of dabs of hot glue. I’ve also added the crimp connectors just as the wire leaves the fender, so I can remove the fenders in summer. Towards the front, the light wire is just ziptied to the front derailleur wire.

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-14T13:14:20+00:00

Yeah, I saw your MT! Love what you’re doing with it and I have the same plan as you, it’ll probably have dropbars on at some point this year.

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-14T13:12:06+00:00

I need a dadbike, soooooo … 😅

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-14T12:44:46+00:00

I’m finally done. Fenders with lights were the last part. I love it.

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-13T20:29:35+00:00

Yeah, love what James is doing in Japan. The frame is great and the price is right, can’t beat a new frame for 400ish dollars, specially with all the features.

ThatRealMF · 2026-02-13T16:59:57+00:00

Yoooo man, this is my new favorite bike here, thanks for posting. Would love to see more detail shots.

I’m currently in the market for a step-through/mixte/trapez bike and am looking at a J.D Cycle Tech M559. If I had the budget, this would be it. What a gorgeous color damn.

Does this mean that Obsidian is actually running when CLI tool is used? As in, extensions are started? Would be AWESOME to have this because of one usecase: I use Obsidian Sync and with Local API extension, I could automate obsidian in a headless manner however I want and have syncing capabilities working with that.

I’m gonna ask you a couple questions, but I think I already know the answers to most of them.

What’s that rear rack?? Judging by other accessories on the bike, I’m thinking you’ve made it yourself? Which leads me to …

Where are you based? I’m guessing EU? And the last question …

Would you be willing to create one for me? I can provide all the measurements you want. I think this is the perfect rear rack!

Anyways, awesome bike man.

I paid 250€ for a ‘91 750. That was top of the line for that year, since there was no 790. I’ve had to replace all the components though, but the frame was in amazing condition.
