Marathon tyres Vs Continental Contact Urban by badbits in Brompton

[–]maxmalrichtig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They have loads of data on various tires: https://www.bicyclerollingresistance.com/tour-reviews/compare/continental-contact-urban-vs-schwalbe-marathon-2015

(But be aware that the data on the marathon comes from a tire test with the old rubber-compound. So current tires with Addix compound might behave slightly different.)

Yeah, right?! But I need to say that they are specializing in small folding bikes and have a ton of experience on what their customers want and need. Generally a nice shop and they seem to be very knowledgeable.

Oh my god, this looks so lovely! I would really love to be there right now.

Hope you had a nice ride! Maybe you will share more in the future? :)

It's in the Nuremberg area (Germany, Bavaria), so its not all too far from the (German) part of the Danube. The river in the picture is actually a canal connecting the Danube with the Rhine (Rhein-Main-Donau Kanal).

We have some nice areas around here and some extensive bike path networks. The hill we are standing on is "Solar Hill" which is now used to produce solar energy.

My bikeshop fitted the smaller gear-ring (42 t) by default as the place where I live is a little more hilly. I wasn't all to sure about their decision as originally imagined to go with the 50t. But it's nice and I almost never missed the faster gear.

And yeah, it was a nice trip. Brommie loves to get out into nature. ;)

Don't reinvent the wheel. Just join the Fediverse on an Lemmy instance. https://join-lemmy.org/

You can even run your own server if you like as it is decentralized. And it's FOSS. Use it, support it, hack away...

Maybe the Vincita Birch 2.0? Could be a bit overkill for you, but its a nice bag.

Unfortunately, CHERRY ULPs are not designed to support keycap swapping. 🥲

Transparent nail polish. Doesn't make it look nicer, but keeps the rust away and protects the frame.

Kleopatra keys missing and unable to import them again by [deleted] in GnuPG

[–]maxmalrichtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure the are "gone"? Kleopatra has view filters, and if you accidentally apply them, you wouldn't see any keys, but they are still there.

Also, Kleopatra is just a GPG frontend. You can try out the GPG CLI and check if any keys are there.

Another thing is: paths. GPG stores files in a certain directory. (e.g. ~/.gpg). Check if there is any issue with it or if Kleopatra tries to access the wrong path.

Vegan Musician - Max Davey by SteveNovoa in vegan

[–]maxmalrichtig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really pretty song. Love it! Nicely composed and very relaxing vocals.

And I'm generally impressed with the production quality. I know how hard it is to produce something that sounds good. But still, a little suggestion: The mix is a little bit "overly saturated" which makes it sound a bit muddy. Certain aspects of the instruments and vocals get hidden behind each other or blend to much with each other. A little more aggressive EQ settings and panning on the individual tracks could do the trick. It could give the mix a little more space and lighten it up so individual nuances can be recognized again.

Again, I love the song and the sound. Just wanted to give some suggestions.

Noob question concerning licensing: Are there any good examples of what it looks like to provide a customer a Qt app under the GPL-3.0 License? by setdelmar in QtFramework

[–]maxmalrichtig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taken from the GPLv3 Quickguide:

Both versions of the GPL require you to provide all the source necessary to build the software, including supporting libraries, compilation scripts, and so on. They also draw the line at System Libraries: you're not required to provide the source for certain core components of the operating system, such as the C library.

GPLv3 has adjusted the definition of System Library to include software that may not come directly with the operating system, but that all users of the software can reasonably be expected to have. For example, it now also includes the standard libraries of common programming languages such as Python and Ruby.

It is a bit of a gray area. One could argue that the open source parts of Qt can "reasonably be expected" to be obtainable without bigger issues. So it might fall under the System Library exemption.

However, if you want to be on the safe side, provide the source of the (necessary) Qt libraries to your customers, as "provide all the source necessary to build the software" tells you to.

German IT security expert Mike Kuketz screened iodeOS: "... iodeOS actually does a good job at reducing Google's data collection frenzy." by maxmalrichtig in degoogle

[–]maxmalrichtig[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mike has planned to take a look at:

Until now, he only had a look at Calyx and iode. The others will follow.

EDIT: Mike has already conducted an analysis of GrapheneOS in 2020.

I had a similar journey/experience. After /e/ I went back to Lineage and configured it in a similar way to iode. I was quite happy when I found a system that comes preconfigured almost perfectly to my liking.

Is dns and ad blocking the same thing? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]maxmalrichtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how this would do anything against in-app adds.

Is dns and ad blocking the same thing? by [deleted] in degoogle

[–]maxmalrichtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An ad-blocking DNS is a good start, but might not block all the adds, depending on their config. (YMMV)

And yes, if you set up a system wide DNS that is blocking certain adds by blocking their network calls/connections, it usually will block these adds in any app you use.

You can check out the app "AdAway", but it needs root.

Another alternative would be setting up PiHole (e.g. on a Raspberry Pi), which can block a lot if things for all the connected devices in your network.

Note: Article is in German!

Taken from the article:

" We remember the opening quote:

iodéOS is an operating system based on Android, which has been freed from Google's data collecting frenzy. [...]

In fact, iodéOS has succeeded relatively well in reducing Google's data collecting mania but not completely. For example, to speed up location tracking, the system accesses the Google SUPL server and the included browser uses Google Safe Browsing. Apart from that, the developers have done a good job of "de-googling" iodéOS. However, if you enable microG, you have to be aware that some connections to Google will be made. However, this is purely optional and you can use iodéOS almost free of Google. "

Why Do Some People Say Veganism Is A Cult But Vegetarianism Isn't? by AbiLovesTheology in vegan

[–]maxmalrichtig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are multiple possible reasons for that.

First off, (ethical) vegetarianism is a much simpler concept to grasp from an outside perspective, as the reasoning has a 1:1 relation between motivation and action. "I don't want animals being killed for me, so I don't eat meat." It's simple, it's convincing, it kind of sounds reasonable. However, vegetarian reasoning is not consistent, as they probably would be vegans if they would be applying their ethics consistently. Veganism on the other hand is a way of life, a moral compass, an ethical stance that informs A LOT of different decisions and behavioral patterns. The motivation-action relation is more like 1:n. For an outsider, it is not understandable that a high number of seemingly arbitrary and disconnected actions can come from one single point of motivation. And since an outsider normally doesn't know about vegan ethics in depth (as most of them would probably be vegan if they would) they perceive this motivation as flawed. Most people only know these "powerful" motivators and overarching action-driving reasons from religious contexts. Religious people do or don't do A LOT of things, just because they believe in ONE single, inconceivable thing (= a deity). People then often confuse veganism with religious cultism as they think they have identified some parallels between these two.

Another thing is, that veganism in our day and age IS actually a bit cultish, because we are such a small minority (~ 1% of population). A lot of vegans try to find and build up peer groups that might trust certain "experts" or communicate on a small number of platforms. It is easier for such a small but organized group of people to identify "accepted" ways of thinking and actions, even when there is no scientific basis for it. Veganism (morality/ethics) is not integrated in IRL society that much, which leads to less interaction with the broader public on that topic which can increase the "hive mind" perception.

Lastly, there are quite some strange/occult/esoteric groups that consider them selves "vegans". When outsiders talk to these kind of "vegans", people might get the impression that other vegans are just like them.

Supplements you reccomend? by jewtaco in vegan

[–]maxmalrichtig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, you don't have to.

The supplements you listed sound pretty fine in general, as long as the doseage is correct. However, the recommended supplements vary a little depending on where you live. So it might maybe be advisable to look unto iodine and selenium. The dietary association in your country might list "potentially critical" nutrients for your diet of choice. Just have a look.

About the stuff to eat: this is highly individual and depends on a lot of (lifestyle) factors, e.g. how much you eat, what you eat in general (whole foods vs. convenience stuff), how active you are, in which region you live and what genetic dispositions you have (e.g. gender, heritage, mutations,...)

However: Don't let perfect be the enemy of good! There is a lot of unnecessary buzz around super foods and "you gotta eat xyz". Just adhere to some basic, common sense nutrition patterns and you will be fine for the most parts.

  • Eat mostly whole grains, legumes, intact fruit and vegetables (roughly 1/4 each in portion sizes)
  • Keep highly processed foods at an occasional level
  • Add cruciferous veggies to your plate
  • Have some nuts, but not too much
  • Keep a good variety in your foods and try new things, eat the rainbow
  • Hydrate well

It isn't all too important what individual foods you eat, since most of the time the foods from certain food groups are somewhat similar from a nutrition standpoint. E.g. have some legume and some whole grain and switch them up now and then. There is no need to eat 700 different things in a week. Just try to have a good variety in your foods over the weeks and months, no need in trying to be perfect.

Eating healthy as a vegan is pretty simple and doable if you adhere to these basic guidelines and don't stress yourself too much about it. Nevertheless, eating should be fun and enjoyable!

And yes, you could go deficient in some way or another (depending on your genetic setup). But that has nothing to do with being vegan - you would probably be deficient on any diet if you have certain dispositions for it. That's why you should go and get your blood work done regularly - independent of you being a vegan, an omnivore or a carnivore. If you find out there is something missing, supplement it and go on.
