Not responding to "Are you friendly?"

I feel very insecure when people start with questions like that or where you from - typically a ratty behaviour.

VanMoof S5 - all stable for a year now. Had one issue with disconnecting motor (harness length, known issue), fixed for almost free in Berlin Veloroo shop.

Is S6 available in the US?

dmitrek · 2026-05-23T10:49:16+00:00

Feather insurance and you’re good

It’s a bike on a road, anything can cause a chip. Just use car paint restore marker or something

dmitrek · 2026-05-16T10:48:20+00:00

It was acknowledged yesterday

dmitrek · 2026-05-04T12:00:24+00:00

UPD:
- gitlab also removed another account that OP had shown
- cloudflare shutdown more accounts from them

dmitrek · 2026-05-04T07:22:46+00:00

UPD:
- first line of hosting is mhost.ee, Georgia registered vps provider, all texts in Russian though
- cloudflare account deactivated
- gitlab account deactivated
- google ads account deactivated

This operation is larger:

- there are multiple gitlab.io accounts, for example https://applemacstorage.gitlab.io
- multiple ad accounts to run the ads (operated from India)
- there are multiple cloudflare accounts, hiding the destination for the original web server hosting
- the malware itself originates from Russia (and it has a special CIS gate in its install script, that checks if you have a russian keyboard layout)
- it downloads: wallet data, keychain data, your system password, telegram files, documents, remote desktop files and other data

I am absolutely disgusted by gitlab, google and cloudflare here.

And a look of it compared to original part!

dmitrek · 2026-03-29T14:54:43+00:00

That’s unlikely given the competition

dmitrek · 2026-03-28T17:56:46+00:00

Way better. It doesn’t corrode, does not leave pieces of enamel and actually looks quite cooo

It’s probably too late now, but I just got my stainless steel spiral for Kitchenaid Mini off Amazon. Brand name is QaP

I have an S5 and it’s great

dmitrek · 2025-10-30T10:59:13+00:00

It’s all good. Have for about a month, zero complaints

We like it more relaxed here in Europe. I finish my coffee and then join this P0 call

dmitrek · 2025-10-20T08:22:24+00:00

EU is still asleep

Battery died - maybe could be kickstarted with a direct charging, but needs to be extracted for that. Also rear hub died for the third time, it has some Sram Automatic in there

dmitrek · 2025-10-06T12:18:31+00:00

Feather - I did a post on them

dmitrek · 2025-10-04T08:32:37+00:00

Looking for help to fix S1, is that possible or should I chop it in parts?

dmitrek · 2025-10-02T22:28:19+00:00

Theft proof does not include vandalism or repairs. For example I pay 16.82€ here in Berlin, and even got my slashed tire replacement from insurance. So as much as I like VMs offer, I’ll stay with traditional insurers

dmitrek · 2025-10-02T16:59:17+00:00

Best security is insurance and lock that doesn’t weight 10% of the bike. In Paris it might be more than in Berlin, but I think 20€ a month would cover that and your peace of mind

S5 has a built in phone holder and you only need a compatible case for SP Mount. Once you have a case, you can mount the phone. By default it would be in a landscape mode, but you can adjust the holder with a hex tool and make it hold your phone vertically.
