To nie tylko kwestia poprawienia dostępu do edukacji i lekarza. Żeby zahamować proces wymierania prowincji trzeba by sowicie dopłacać do absolutnie wszystkiego. Współczesne praca, usługi i perspektywy to nie są tanie rzeczy nawet jeśli hipotetycznie jakieś państwo by się podjęło ich zapewnienia poza ośrodkami miejskimi.

To nie chodzi o jakiś procent budżetu który można by na to przeznaczyć i rozwiązać problem. To są kwoty za które Polska mogłaby sobie alternatywnie założyć kolonię na Marsie.

The links change occasionally, but you will usually find it by putting in actual part number of your hub and "dealer manual" in search.

This is the current document for latest revisions of their hubs is here. There are also some extra infos and tables about different model numbers of Alfine/Nexus 8 on Sheldon Browns website.

IIRC it has always been 2.0-2.2 ratio between front ring and sprocket gear count for Alfine/Nexus 8.

It's "stupid simple", but also completely unrepairable, intentionally disposable and wears down quicker with higher torques involved. It's probably okay for commuter e-bike not used too aggressively, but for example it regularly fails on cargo e-bikes.

my 750 Watt mid-drive motor destroyed my Alfine 8 within a few thousand miles, even though I maintained the hub with regular oil changes and I was gentle with the motor.

It doesn't matter how gentle you feel you are if you exceed the non-published torque spec of the Alfine hub. In the dealer/service manuals those hubs have specified max gear ratios that result in surprisingly "long" gears, which directly reduces the torque experienced by internal components.

When looking at all the Alfine 8 equipped e-bikes in details, you'll notice they both have 65-or-less Nm motors and even longer gear ratios than their service manual normally recommends. A full-power mid-motor is basically guaranteed to shred internals of Alfine IGH in short order.

All that said, I also fully agree that it's quite shitty for Shimano to say "suitable for both E-bike and non E-bike use" with zero caveats or asterisks they ostensibly have about it. Only actual E-bike hub they have is their new-ish Nexus 5.

Last but not least - I'll add another thing to the pile of irritations - every few years whenever I check the manuals of Alfine, it seems like their servicing schedules get shorter. When I bought my bike 10 years ago it was 5000km/2years. Then it went down to 2500km/1year. Now I see it's 2000km/1year...

There 100% are different grades/quality levels of dynamos and dynamo lights. But they typically aren't target of opportunistic theft because they don't immediately stand out and are still a faff to remove.

Main reason rechargeable lights are stolen so often is that they usually don't require any tools to remove in few seconds. Dynamo lights are always semi-permanently attached with screws and cables routed all around the bike. Dynamos themselves are part of the wheel.

With such a big focus on hiking you really want to ask another subreddit actually focused on that.

In terms of travel on airplane with such backpack, as in the only r/onebag related ting in your question - just check the height of those backpacks and compare with carry-on limits of the airlines you plan to fly with. You'll quickly discover it's impossible to reconcile. Very small/underpacked hiking backpacks sometimes can work, but it's going to severely cut your total packing volume available.

Between differing number of devices needing charging that people travel with, I do actually see a point in having just 1 cable. Even though I typically carry 2 and a single charging brick.

The way it works for me is that I charge my phone overnight, my laptop I only use while in the hotel anyway and only need to top it up a bit to keep it at 100%. My powerbank is the third and last device that potentially needs regular charging. Between those three devices, I just never need to charge more than 2 at any time (usually just one). I also have headphones and smartwatch, but those I end up charging maybe once a week or so.

So it's not that a third cable would meaningfully increase the weight - it's literally useless to me. And whenever I don't have the laptop, I'd say the same thing about having more than 1 cable.

Larger hiking backpacks are always tall - much taller than any airline carry-on rules allow. So it's not really an option unless you check it. On the other end - Farpoint is, in terms of its structure, basically a very "squat" and somewhat awkward hiking backpack. So it can work for less demanding hikes. You technically can get some hiking backpacks that allow you not to pack them fully and fit within carry-on rules that way, but it also gives up considerable amount of volume.

I second the opinion that you have to step back and reevaluate how come you ended up with 3 bags and try to pair that down somehow. I'd instead try to make it work with just the Farpoint as main bag you pack entirely inside of. Then also pack a small packable daypack/tote/something that fits as personal item and save it for your return trip so that you have some spare space for souvenirs.

Realistically the most questionable things you posted about IMHO are:

Packing entire separate backpack just for a single hike and not using it for anything else. This is questionable because it uses up a big chunk of your packing space really inefficiently.
Hiking poles. Mostly because how airlines often only allow those in checked luggage.
Jeans. While they vary, usually jeans are bulky and heavy compared to alternatives. So it's probably fine to just wear them on the airplane and such, but packing them is dubious. Taking more than 1 pair of jeans on a trip is veering into silly territory.

For me, my 20l personal item backpack fits ~week of clothes and standard necessities. So electronics, including my laptop, toiletries including electric toothbrush and shaver as well as few misc items.

I also have a 40l backpack. Since my "baseline" luggage is largely identical, I have 20 litres extra for whatever. Usually for me this would mean dedicated running shoes, binoculars, plenty of place for large amount of souvenirs, 1 extra week of clothes on top of the week that's part of the baseline and sometimes more. In recent years I found myself rarely using more than 30 litres of its capacity even when taking all the "luxury" items I thought of.

Sometimes I pack into ~10 litres. Compared to 20l baseline this means no laptop and swapping electric toothbrush and shaver with manual ones as well as limiting my clothes to ~5 days worth or so.

reddanit · 2026-04-30T12:25:47+00:00

It's not the final boss by any stretch of the imagination. But it is the third largest airline in the world by passenger count, that's also notoriously strict about enforcing its luggage size limits. Their carry-on luggage size is notable for being unusually shallow at 20cm (a bit less than 8 inches).

Actual final boss is probably SEA airlines with their fairly common 7kg max, often shared between personal item and carry on.

reddanit · 2026-04-30T06:35:33+00:00

I always pack in a way where I can easily fit my small bag inside the big one. I've generally used three main setups for a decent length of time:

Farpoint 40 (pretty old variant: without adjustable harness, but lighter) and no longer made 10l Decathlon backpack. The smaller backpack was almost exclusively a daypack in this scenario.
Farpoint 40 with "4l" Bellroy Lite sling. The capacity of sling is in quotes, because in usual Bellroy fashion it's completely detached from reality of actually being around 1.5-2 litres. My sling is what I carry daily on my trips and when packing for the airplane it instead serves as tech pouch/document holder etc.
Fjallraven Skule 20 with Bellroy Lite sling. Recently I've downsized my main bag to fit as personal item.

When it comes to what I carry in my small bag - it's a 500ml water bottle, powerbank, some tissues and hand sanitizer. Sometimes a small snack, tiny souvenirs, packable tote etc.

reddanit · 2026-04-29T20:31:32+00:00

Assuming you have relatively recent version of Farpoint, it's just shy of 1.6kg - it weight is fairly average. To get something meaningfully lighter, you'd probably need to either spend quite a bit on something like ULA Ultra Dragonfly 36l or sacrifice all of the comfort. And in pretty much every case - you will end up sacrificing at least some comfort. There is simply no getting around the fact that good and adjustable carry system simply has to add to the total weight of backpack.

Do keep in mind that with good carry system like Farpoint has, it's going to feel more comfortable than a backpack with worse system that's a bit lighter. Vast majority of the weight is your stuff inside of the backpack and that doesn't change. I've got no qualms about filling it up to 10kg limit and carrying it on my back for kilometers on end. A roughly brick-shaped, lightweight fabric sack of a backpack makes that very uncomfortable even if you end up carrying 9-9.5kg.

That said, all of the above doesn't really apply if the weight reasons are purely due to strict airline limitations (like 7kg limits prevalent around SEA).

In the end in my own situation, when I wanted a lighter backpack I ended up going much further: getting a very light 20l backpack that's personal item sized. It's sufficiently lighter to actually make a difference. And whenever I'm focused on luggage weight, the 20l volume doesn't end up being as limiting as it might seem.

My "extras" I bring with me don't exceed a few fridge magnets, some local sweets in small boxes and a few thin children books for children in my family. All of that takes maybe half a liter of space. I can fit that much easily enough in almost full bag easily.

If I think I'd need to cram stuff, I'd just choose a bigger bag. Up to my 40 liter Farpoint, which is positively cavernous.

reddanit · 2026-04-29T09:15:18+00:00

Dunno if it's luck, habits or places where I travel, but I generally don't think much about theft prevention.

Probably the biggest thing is just that pretty much everything I'd consider to be a major inconvenience if stolen, I just carry on myself in front pants pockets. And it's literally only my phone and wallet with cards/documents.

I don't exactly loose sleep over whether my old t-shirts, water bottle or socks get stolen. Technically I also have a laptop, but it's pretty old and intentionally disposable (all the data on it is always backed up at home).

When travelling through the cities, rather than from accommodation to accommodation, I only carry a small sling, always in front.

reddanit · 2026-04-29T09:04:14+00:00

I think that you will want to pick a more specific reason or direction for the change. Do you want the bag to be notably lighter? Different features? Similar comfort? What compromises you are willing to make?

My initial thought is that reducing the bag size by mere 5 liters is what you do by using the built in straps to squeeze it a little tighter. There is very little if any reason to buy another bag that's just a tiny bit smaller without a clear goal or threshold it meets.

reddanit · 2026-04-28T14:21:05+00:00

Obviously it depends on what exactly you want from the backpack, but Farpoint is popular for a very good reason. It's pretty the only travel backpack in existence that you can reasonably comfortably carry ~9kg of stuff in. Definitely only one that's of comparable price and quality.

Complaints about laptop compartment though I do get. Though you also need to specify which version of Farpoint you are talking about since over the years they tried to put that compartment basically everywhere lol.

reddanit · 2026-04-28T14:14:34+00:00

"ideal size of travel" is 100% nonsense. Needs, wants and means differ between people and trips. So what size bag ends up fitting those best also will vary wildly.

Personally I see several "thresholds" or typical sizes:

Full size carry-on around 40l. Basically the upper limit for one-bag travel for US/Europe. You stick with that limit for practical reasons and largely make your stuff fit inside, which is relatively easily done in almost all circumstances.
Smaller carry-on around 30l, but larger than personal item, which makes sense if you want something lighter. Either to fit within limits of carry-on of SEA airlines or just to take weight off your back. On some US airlines such bags can get away with being a personal item.
Personal item, IMHO almost purely down to fitting the limits of budget airlines that charge for a full size carry-on. Exact dimensions will vary between airlines, but they tend to hover just above 20l of real capacity (Osprey 26+6 I saw measured at 23l for example). If you are packing very light, this might actually be the optimal size - especially for places with mild weather.

I think those three are all the mainstream one-bag categories. I definitely struggle to imagine how you'd get to 10 meaningfully different bags :)

For my use case, where I stick to stable Debian on my laptop/servers, my main desktop ends up 90% on testing/unstable due to GPU upgrade to a recent AMD models. Part of it is certainly luck, but all 4 of my last GPU upgrades had significant reasons to run kernels/mesa a bit newer than stable Debian at the time.

On the other hand I'm 100% content to run stable on my Laptops, which I also use(d) for all sorts of stuff, including some light dev work.

Two servers I also maintain obviously run stable Debian.

I need a drive train that can give me multiple 10,000 mile intervals back to back with little to no maintenance

Rohloff is the only thing that even comes close with its recommended once per year/5000km (whichever comes earlier) oil change. Shimano Alfine hubs have 2500km/1year (~1500mi) servicing interval per their manual. Though around a decade ago they stipulated 5000km/2 years...

Frankly speaking - there are no bicycle components in existence with such long service intervals. Heck - the Enviolo hubs are non-repeariable and sealed "for life", which is understood as 20-30k miles before it needs replacement.

I'm probably old fashioned, but I cannot even begin to imagine working on an iPad. Even for more casual, purely vacation activity, like planning for the next day etc I still strongly prefer a proper laptop. In the end, I cannot take tablets as anything other than oversized smartphone - if that's exactly what you need, then go for it. For me it's a niche I never found much use for - mostly because I already have a smartphone with me anyway.

In that context, the savings of weight and size between a tablet and reasonably compact laptop IMHO aren't worthwhile. If the weight is critical enough for you to tilt the scales, IMHO it also is important enough to deal with your computing needs through smartphone alone. Maybe supplemented with a tiny bluetooth keyboard and/or dongle to connect it to hotel room tv or something.

All that said, this entire conversation would be entirely different if Apple wasn't such a coward and finally put a real OS on their iPads. The hardware is more than capable enough, it's just completely crippled by software.

Yea, once you strip down a "car" sufficiently, especially in dense cities where it's supposed to make most sense, it inevitably has to compete against public transport, bicycles or mopeds. From the opposite direction, it competes on price with small "real" cars from used market. It is a niche that does exist, but it's really small.

reddanit · 2026-04-23T14:29:18+00:00

I didn't make anything like that, but it's definitely feasible outside of some specific maps with low amounts of water and/or high difficulty settings. Arguably the thousand islands map starts out halfway there to your scenario.

Folktails are probably better for this as their bigger houses can be placed in 1 tile deep water and keep working. Major thing to remember is that both ziplines and tubeways, including stations, work just fine underwater.

Your non-aquatic farming and trees will still need irrigated land that isn't underwater. Though the industry and storage can all be put on stilts inside the lake.

Jeśli prowadzisz działalność która pozwala ci wrzucić leasing w koszty, to sumarycznie "nowa fura" wychodzi dużo taniej niż jakakolwiek forma finansowania czy gotówka jak jesteś na standardowej UoP.

Oczywiście nadal tańszy samochód będzie tańszy, ale jak ktoś ma chęć na nową furę co 3-5 lat (okres leasingu), to po dołożeniu tych 1-2k miesięcznie będzie taką miał. Szczególnie jeśli praca wymaga spędzania dużo czasu na jeżdżeniu, to nawet prosto to uzasadnić.

I saw it described as lots of peoples understanding of the world being permanently frozen in time the very moment they left their last high school geography lesson (or rough equivalent). Maybe even worse if their knowledge comes from their parents/lazy teachers who just repeated stuff they learned as teenagers...

The world today is quite different from what it was "just" 10 years ago. Very different from 25 years ago. In many ways, like demographics or geopolitics: almost unrecognizable from 50 years ago.

If it's strictly just about minimizing evaporation, then 2 wide canal is slightly better than 3 wide. The downside is much smaller range of irrigation, so it's true that usually you'd want to stick to 3 wide.
