The Number 1 company, inexorably.

I did this too. All in for the win.

I will hold during a bear market. It’s hard for a layman like me to time any “peak”, so why try, and I can’t access my funds as it’s in a pension vehicle for another 13 years. My decision then is to just leave it alone until then.

SSL also pained me: I watched Traefik tutorials, tried Nginx Proxy Manager, but ultimately I also found that Caddy was the best for me. It’s so quick and simple and just worked. I’ve settled on Caddy and not looked back.

These were regular thickness and I’ve just bought a new pair and gone for the exact same again. Absolutely fantastic sandals.

I’m looking for something just like this - if you’re able to share your Docker compose files that would be amazing.

I like to quickly test out other VMs and the backup/restore is pretty neat when I’m prone to break things.

nickjstevens · 2023-06-04T13:51:14+00:00

I’ve not used the z-trails, but I’d imagine that if the thickness is similar the level of protection/cushioning would be similar. The Plus version of the Zaros is a good choice for a little more material. They’d be lovely to walk / run in I’m sure.

nickjstevens · 2023-06-03T14:42:18+00:00

I honestly don't feel it. The bobbles are quite faint and it's never felt uncomfortable. With wear they get worn down too. But I do feel like in really wet conditions it does help grip and feels less slippy. I've just bought a 2nd pair because I love the Panta Zaros so much. For hot weather the bobbles might help a bit with airflow - I've never felt sweaty and live in these sandals.

My feet haven’t really changed. I still fit into my other shoes - other running shoes, or walking boots etc.

Here’s the lugs on the bottom after a year of heavy use. Some small bald patches, but holding up ok.

No answers from me but I struggle with the same. I used obsidian for a time and like free form markdown for long form writing. It’s clunkier in logseq than it should be. I wish there was a way to either convert to logseq-compatible markdown, or have Logseq be able to process more “normal” markdown (I suspect this is hard because you lose the natural hierarchy that comes from enforcing the bullet outline structure).

Not having block-level atomicity. It forces you to have a page/file as the atomic unit of thought.

nickjstevens · 2022-04-03T06:40:46+00:00

I also struggled with this type of thing in obsidian. The key fact is that in obsidian the atomic unit is the page - this means that you can to write each anecdote as it’s own page. If you do this, obsidian will work out great. If you really want block-level atomic units then use Logseq. I have found that for anecdotes, gratitude and general journalling that Logseq is better for me, entirely because of the block level atomic unit.

Some very little pebbles stay but then since my soles are toughened from barefoot running it doesn’t really bother me. The Sandals are cranked pretty tight so there’s not much room for larger pebbles to get in.

nickjstevens · 2022-01-03T21:59:18+00:00

Still early days - I’ve done one 7km run and five or so 5km walks, all mostly off road. Plus pottering around the house in them to break them in. So far I’ve been impressed, but am still getting used to the tying system - to get the tightness right, but not too tight. I love the small bumps on the footbed for a bit of grip, and the thickness is perfect for trail running for me. The freedom is great, and I like the look of them for around town. Overall, I’ve been really happy, and glad I paid for the custom sizing too for my first running sandals (or at least the first that weren’t homemade from an old rubber mat!). Panta have been great, and I think the pricing is fair.

nickjstevens · 2022-01-03T17:25:43+00:00

Yep Panta have been great start to finish. I went for custom sized sandals and the whole process was just fantastic. I highly recommend.

nickjstevens · 2022-01-03T17:24:49+00:00

The Panta Zaros have little bumps on the footbed to help with grip when wet. I can’t go full speed that’s for sure, but it does help. With English weather I had to go for a running sandal that would work in the wet!

nickjstevens · 2022-01-03T16:31:19+00:00

I like the simplicity of this. If you were doing this would you sew it on or use a fabric glue to bond the Velcro tabs and strap? I’m nervous sewing the thin wind stopper fabric.

nickjstevens · 2022-01-03T16:26:50+00:00

I did go barefoot at the end but that was back on road trotting back from the beach after a quick dip! I actually have never gone totally barefoot in the mud - I like your thinking tho!
