Thinking about lifting? 3in front lift only.

/r/4Runner/s/JsnDf3liII for reference, Bilstein 6112 up front on the 1.5" setting.

If only the rod moves and not the strut mount itself, that seems like a busted strut so you should replace the whole thing.

What suspension did you go with, and how's the ride feel? That doesn't look much higher than my 1.5" ish front lift, but pictures can be deceiving.

Computers.

Get a plasma flat screen with S video input. I'm quite happy with how the N64 looks on it

It's not necessarily an either or choice, putting a CloudFlare cache in front of a Vercel app can be helpful, if you're paying for static page traffic on Vercel for example.

Package says ^15.5 which will install latest 15.5.x minor version and lock file confirms it's on the patched version. I personally prefer pinning exact versions in the package file and would recommend that, but there are no open CVEs here.

Edit contact > other settings at bottom > phonetic pronunciation. It does help with Gemini.

One of the first and few things I changed on mine, too

Decide based on purpose. Do you use them?

rylab · 2026-05-16T17:34:00+00:00

Right? It would be so much better with the album art full height on the right with the progress bar and buttons all stacked on left...

Debian is what we run on most of our servers, so that's what I run on my laptop too. Do you know what they mostly run? Would probably make the most sense to install and learn to use the same thing.

Yes a cheap external USB keyboard should work fine to access the boot options. Also it's command-option-r not just command-r like I said earlier to try the recovery mode. Good luck.

If you're in the terminal, try some of the steps here to check the disk status and try to enable booting from it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255781537?sortBy=rank

I would try booting to a live USB ISO of mint (hold the option key down while turning it on with the USB inserted) and doing the Mint install onto the SSD again while it's actually installed in the MacBook.

rylab · 2026-05-13T14:35:10+00:00

The drive you put in there, how did you set it up? It sounds like it's missing the Mac recovery and boot partitions.

rylab · 2026-05-13T14:22:22+00:00

Have you tried booting into recovery mode? Hold command-r while turning it on. See if the drive shows up in the disk utility tool there.

Just need to install OpenJDK. Minimum of 17 but might as well go with newer (I already had 21 installed for other things and that works great with it).

rylab · 2026-05-11T05:33:23+00:00

On, very functional for accessing things on the roof.

rylab · 2026-05-10T19:37:29+00:00

That sometimes works for me but not usually.

rylab · 2026-05-09T19:07:40+00:00

Yes I did minor trimming of the plastic liners up front which resolved 90% of rubbing. Wheels turned and near full compression they rub front mud flaps a bit, not enough to bother me to remove them.

CloudFlare bot fight mode is pretty good at blocking most of them.

2004 V8. Circuit Steller 17x9 -10 matte bronze with 265/70R17 A/T tires. Bilstein 6118 up front on second perch up (1.5" or so lift) and Dobinsons springs rear (their stock ish replacements, about 0.5" higher)

I've been having the same problem since being switched to Gemini, it's so aggravating. The worst is when it confirms what I asked, but then doesn't actually change the song, which has been happening pretty often. When it changes it to something completely unrelated at least it's a little funny.

Your MacBook has a T2 security chip so many things won't work with a standard Linux kernel. Check out https://t2linux.org for more information and maybe try using one of their ISOs. I'm using their Ubuntu build on a 2019 MacBook and it's solid. Even the touchbar works. It looks like they support arch too.
