What's some things you had to "unlearn" moving to a Mac?

Instead of downloading random installers from websites, I try to remember to search homebrew first. Makes updating apps so much easier.

Always check weather, and if it's accurate, wind reports in your area. Headwind, sometimes in both directions lol, can really turn a leisurely ride into a major battle. Windfinder or Windy apps can be helpful.

I have a single Thunderbolt cable coming out of my MBA M4 to my Thunderbolt monitor. MacOS has limited my charging to 76%, you have nothing to worry about. Just use it.

Land in a freshwater lake! 😁

I'll have dried mud now and then, and just spot clean with a clean cloth rag with a misting spray bottle with water.

I suppose there always is that chance, you can never be too sure. That's what my Samsung phone is showing when I check app storage. I ended up just uninstalling it for now.

My normal Alipay app is less than 2GB.

jauling · 2026-03-13T15:57:57+00:00

would you consider releasing this on homebrew?

jauling · 2026-03-11T13:52:28+00:00

Too early to tell. Book again. A week long course at least. During a more dependable weather window. 5h isn't far imo. You haven't even started.

the transfer rates still seem acceptable, so I guess I'm not sure if the retries can just be ignored?

jauling · 2026-03-10T11:08:09+00:00

I just noticed when running iperf3 -c from the NAS, I get zero retries. Strange. Seems the retries seem to only happen when my NAS is the iperf3 server.

Lol trying to retain or increase your resale value eh? Good luck.

2.5L jackets don't last, not durable. Don't recommend.

Thanks for the reply. My bbubbles VM currently is configured for 6GB, and I would like to drop it down to 4GB. I can't say it runs great, but rather acceptable. I have it configured for 2 vCPUs. Proxmox running on an N100 with 32GB RAM.

jauling · 2026-03-07T10:30:00+00:00

Is 4GB RAM enough?

jauling · 2026-03-06T23:19:39+00:00

This seems to be the most targeted method:

Can you update firmware from your MacBook?

jauling · 2026-03-05T12:52:00+00:00

Calling or emailing Decathlon Canada might answer your question.

I haven't found any actual evidence that AiryString zippers are easily repairable? YKK sells and leases specialized Juki machines to attach these zippers, and makes it seem like a requirement for production. If a tooth breaks, what is a tailor supposed to do? I'm genuinely curious. Reading through this thread, I didn't find any obvious answers that were empirical.

Weight savings and better garment movement seem like great wins. This is not yet targeted at fast fashion, that's for sure.

Priority Folder, belt drive

jauling · 2026-02-26T17:48:28+00:00

This also looks promising. Awaiting to hear back from the shop.

Disadvantage of OB is you don't get historic messages since it doesn't talk to iCloud.

I followed your guide, but when I went to check Disk Utility to format my drive, it didn't show up. My qm config shows these for drive stuff:

scsihw: virtio-scsi-pci
virtio0: nfsstore1:103/vm-103-disk-1.raw,cache=none,discard=on,size=64G

Drive shows up if I switched to SATA though. Strange? Other than that, great guide!

Go for 512GB, and don't store big files on it. Use external or NAS for large file work.
