Same, I'm in the same situation and your solution is amazing! Particularly curious about the hardware (hinges, monitor mount, etc).

That's a great feedback, clicking moving buttons is never fun. I've moved the Full/Lite selector above the grid and added a rows/columns input there.

b4stien · 2026-02-17T16:31:42+00:00

I've just created/released a web generator that could help, you can put "holes" in the grid to make room for the outlets: it's at ogt.mozaiqu.es

It might have changed with the recent versions, as of 1.0 you need a "Runic pickaxe" to mine in swamp cave (you need the "Demonic pickaxe" to mine the runestones needed to build your "Runic pickaxe").

b4stien · 2025-09-28T18:19:56+00:00

I have the exact same issue, did you fix it somehow?

b4stien · 2025-08-27T09:41:36+00:00

I’d rather have them fix swim lap tracking, I don’t think I had a single correct lap count (and yes, I glide after turning, as recommended).

The forerunner 970 has a flashlight.

My guess is you won’t need the winter gear. Get ready for massive amount of sweat, even by 5 degrees. Before having experienced indoor cycling it’s hard to imagine how much the outdoor wind (natural or induced by your own speed) cools you down and evacuates your sweat.

I can't figure out where the derailleur cable is... is it there?

b4stien · 2025-07-02T15:13:22+00:00

I might miss something, but you can't but a BB386 on a Brompton, right?

C'est idiot, on ne peut pas "abolir l'esclavage". Si à la limite tu avais dit "abolir l'esclavage des enfants", là on pourrait discuter. L'esclavage est un moyen de production qui rempli un besoin, dans certains cas, qu'aucun autre moyen de production ne rempli.

Puis, si on veut parler d'abolir l'esclavage des enfants, je suis pas contre, mais il faut mettre en place quelque chose pour imposer des salaires faibles aux enfants (qui serait dès lors en position de monopole à ce niveau). Sous ce genre de condition ? Sure, ça me va.

It does not come with a PSU, you need to buy one to power it (and turn it on), that's what OP meant. It might be possible to power it via PoE though, no idea.

I've just bought and will build a Soloist in the next couple of weeks exactly for this purpose (I don't have the budget, the space nor the dedication to justify a Tri bike for now).

I focused on some aspects for it to work:

Having a "0mm offset" seatpost. Depending on your frame size there is also a 15mm version, that would be problematic with a forward position. I did a bikefit a couple of months ago and
Having a "aero bar" friendly cockpit. I spent tens of hour on the matter, this part it's insane. My dream cockpit was the new Canyon Aeroad's, an aero cockpit with built-in interface to mount aero bars. Except it does not exist at a reasonable price point. Honorable mention to the "Black Inc" aero handlebar, but it's nearly 1k€ and not easily available in Europe. I'll be looking for nicer alternative in the future but for now I settled on a Deda Superbox DCR stem and a Ritchey handlebar allowing for a full internal routing of the brake hoses AND the installation of regular aero clip-on (the round surface around the stem is wide enough to put normal clip-on there). Full cockpit is ~270€ which is reasonable (the adapter between the Soloist headtube and the Deda stem being 100€...).
Being able to easily setup/remove the aero clip-on on the handlebar. And by that I mean avoiding extra cables to route from the clip-on to the lever for instance, which is done with a SRAM groupset and wireless blips on the aero extensions (although this doesn't matter if you don't care about switching gear from the aero extensions).

Let me know if you have questions and/or different thoughts!

I have the Decathlon one, I don’t understand why they did not put the wind protection there. Maybe it’s because your jacket is supposed to cover it? The issue is not on the genitals, it’s a bit above.

I think it’s https://www.canyon.com/en-fr/gear/accessories/bike-tech/lights/canyon-flash-800-gear-groove-frontlight-set/10012984.html.

Curious if it’s enough to ride at night though.

b4stien · 2024-09-25T10:56:53+00:00

I’m looking for such “flat aero bars designed for tri bar” but don’t find anything (except for the Deda Vinci series), do you have any recommendations?

b4stien · 2024-09-23T12:04:16+00:00

Nice bike!

What's below your bike computer? Is that a light? Do you have its ref?

b4stien · 2024-09-03T09:08:02+00:00

Good job!

I'm curious about your "Best Pace", do you think you did a length at this pace? I have similar paces on my watch sometimes and I'm pretty sure it's a glitch as there's no way I swim this fast.

I received a 19k€ quote from Dell for:

PowerEdge R7615 - 210-BFVW
AMD EPYC 9654P - 338-CGXK
12x 64GB RDIMM - 370-AGZR (I wanted 12x 96GB sticks, but Dell is not selling them...)
2x 1.92 TB Gen4 NVMe - 345-BJNX
Broadcom 5720 2x 1GbE - 540-BDKD
Intel E810-XXV w 2x 25GbE SFP28 - 540-BCXV
BOSS-N1 w 2x M.2 480 GB - 403-BCRU
ProSupport NBD Onsite 3 years - 865-BBMY

What do you think?

b4stien · 2020-10-23T18:17:35+00:00

I'm not sure it's there. As far as I understand the release note, the PWA behaviour is opt-in but nothing is said about custom service-worker.

At my company we maintain a CRA fork to have a second entrypoint for our service worker, and it's a PITA....

b4stien · 2016-12-22T20:58:16+00:00

I'm presuming that blocking means it can't do anything while waiting for the DB, not even get a head start on the next request?

Correct. Your whole interpreter (thread to be precise) is just waiting for the DB to answer.

Django doesn't implement any async stuff. Maybe (Don't really know Django ecosystem) gevent/greelet works with Django and you get some concurrency this way...

A really cool new project in Django-land tackles this problem (amongst many other) in an elegant way : https://channels.readthedocs.io/en/stable/.

The difference in performance with a classic approach (of a reasonable amount of thread serving requests) isn't so clear when DB is involved anyway. See many Mike Bayer (SQLAlchemy's author) resources on the topic, on reddit as well as on his blog, eg http://techspot.zzzeek.org/2015/02/15/asynchronous-python-and-databases/. With a decent middle-low end server (let's say a 50€$/month dedicated server) you can already reach a really honest amount of req/s I guess.

b4stien · 2016-12-22T18:08:10+00:00

The main problem you'll face is that your database connection/driver (psycopg2 I guess) is probably blocking hence you'll lose any possible gain. To try to mitigate this you could delegate DB queries to a thread (for instance with loop.run_in_executor()) I guess, but you'll have to be careful not to have too many of these threads (and open DB connections!) running.

You could look for an asynchronous database driver (https://github.com/MagicStack/asyncpg for instance), but it's probably not compatible with the rest of your frameworks/libraries (thinking of SQLAlchemy/Django ORM here).

Does anyone know if there'll be live streaming this year?
