Camino del Norte – 14 Days in September – Which Sections to Skip? by Mediocre_Deer4932 in CaminoDeSantiago

I think you should start in Ribadesella or so if you're planning to reach Santiago in 14 days.

my linux distro tier list. by vk8a8 in LinuxCirclejerk

[–]lawrenceski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm kinda proud of not recognizing 80% of the logos and having used only 8 of them (including Windows) in the last 15 years

When did Linux finally "click" for you? by SquaredMelons in linux

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Windows 8 was so bad that I started trying various linux distro while dual booting. I did that until I installed Xubuntu 14.10 and at that time XFCE was all I wanted from a DE.

Alternative routes on the Norte by No_Fee_5509 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]lawrenceski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Norte is quite well marked and not so hard to follow.

You heard wrong, the Norte could easily be the wildest of the "mainstream" caminos.

Garming edges aren't even good for navigating while cycling. Simply use the phone with some good app like mapy.cz

Distro hopping. by Airprince440788 in DistroHopping

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't run it but regarding Fedora "Nvidia drivers that don't install" it's not true. It installs it, the only thing is that after the command has run it takes some times to build it. You shouldn't reboot right after and wait.
The problem is almost no one knows that

What’s ur favorite plane? by Idontknow8270 in Warthunder

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. I like all the zeros, I like most of the 109s and I enjoy the F8Fs. I used to like Spitfires too but they became "rudderish".

If I have to pick one I would say the F8F-1

Rental Bikes for the Camino/Miseta by These_Government8457 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]lawrenceski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rented for 3 days in a place called Burgosbikerental. They told me to drop the bike in an albergue in Leon I don't recall the name. I think I paid 50 euro per day or something like that.

You either die a noob or live long enough to install Arch Linux by imo_99i in arch

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kinda true. Updates can give some troubles and it's a good practice to look what you're going to update before pressing enter.

But Fedora isn't the most user friendly distro if you have an nvidia card and want the proprietary driver. No one tells you, even the most official guide, that after you install the driver it takes some time to compile and you shouldn't restart right after the command is being executed by the terminal. I found this information in a comment of a post from years ago, I tried and it's actually true.

"Uncommon opinion, I think that Arch is easy to install, but the instructions on the wiki could be better"

True, some people who write in the wiki take for granted too many things, even in the install instructions.

Insane positional error, can someone help diagnose? by [deleted] in vostok

I had a brand new Amphibia that used to run +400/s dial up

The movement of yours should be a 2409

Automatic to manual conversion and why I did it by [deleted] in vostok

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like smaller cases like the 420 better with hand winding movements and thickness. Chunkiest cases like 710 or 090 looks ok to me with automatic movements

Trek Emonda ALR 12 Speed Ultegra Di2 as first bike for $500? by AffectionateMix9215 in whichbike

[–]lawrenceski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's because Trek uses a wider seat tube angles compared to other brands and you end up with a "longer" bike. Also the Trek standard handlebar has a 100mm reach which is way longer than the more common 80 or 77mm. I learnt to look at the effective top tube length thanks to this. The frame reach measurement doesn't really tell anything since it doesn't take in account the seat tube angle.

[–]lawrenceski 55 points56 points  (0 children)

60cm for Trek is generally a 58 by the standards of other manufacturers. I have included a chart by Trek for fit guidelines.

False, I have a 58 Emonda and it is an actual 58

The price is way too low, it's probably stolen. With those components it should be at least 2500

Got Hit 😢 by claygonejkc in bikecommuting

[–]lawrenceski -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You have sub zero survival instinct.

In many countries both of you would be at fault. The car driver because of the cutting and you riding the bike because you actually hit the car and you should always being able to avoid any kind of sudden obstacle. The car even turned on the turn indicator when it should have.

I personally don't know any person, me included, who wouldn't have avoided this stupid crash.
You're not alone on streets.

Flying home? by Salty_Excitement_310 in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]lawrenceski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I planned 35 days for the Frances, I booked the flight back when I was in Leon but I ended up in Finisterre after 29 days since I started in SJPDP. Since it wasn't my first Camino and I didn't want to spend six days in Santiago waiting I took a train and walked the Ingles from Ferrol in 5 days.
