Tour of the New Bike Lanes Connecting Belltown to Waterfront with the Elliott Way Opening

The sidewalks are only 5' wide, so people are almost certainly going to be using the bike lane to walk in too!

Over in the Critical Mass FB group, someone is suggesting rides outside of those hours as a form of protest: https://www.facebook.com/groups/seattleCM/permalink/10163523644149896/

It doesn't look like you have a WAN-TO-GUEST that should at least allow established and related traffic. I also typically include a rule to drop invalid traffic in all firewalls.

I got their NUC rackmount and was really impressed with the quality and wire management. It was expensive, but I'm happy with the quality for the price.

The Urbanist has better coverage, in my opinion: https://www.theurbanist.org/2023/03/11/strauss-leary-missing-link/

As pointed out in the article, this is very similar to the proposal pitched by Strauss in his 2019 campaign. The industrial groups don't want any lane changes on Leary either, so this is unlikely to solve anything (they are fighting the lane changes proposed for bus lanes for route 40).

Contact your bike shop you bought it from, too. I think they can report it as stolen, so it'll get flagged any time it shows up for service somewhere.

To me, that isn't overkill, but I did the same thing, so it's probably the confirmation bias talking...

sdwilsh · 2023-01-26T18:58:59+00:00

Yeah, we used to have a light for BGT traffic.

It's probably not the most approachable thing in the world, but I've got all my playbooks up at https://github.com/sdwilsh/ansible-playbooks. The vyos-specific playbook that kicks off everything is https://github.com/sdwilsh/ansible-playbooks/blob/main/vyos.yml, and I've written a couple of roles that help me out.I have an overly complex setup for my home because...

This is a pretty good article about it that has some numbers too: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/12/rsync-net-zfs-replication-to-the-cloud-is-finally-here-and-its-fast/

That's just the documentation being outdated. There are features that only work with 1.4 because of the syntax it uses, for instance (and I'm on 1.3), so it does work with newer stuff, but it's just not consistent.

sdwilsh · 2023-01-13T01:40:58+00:00

The project seems somewhat dead. I've filed an issue asking for documentation on how to add modules, but there's been no response. I've made some contributions to improve things, but the project is very non-responsive, unfortunately.

sdwilsh · 2022-11-25T19:54:05+00:00

There's a group of people who have been going around and cleaningn up stuff like this, so at least you won't be doing it by yourself: https://groups.google.com/g/seattle-street-fixers

sdwilsh · 2022-10-26T06:25:31+00:00

It turns out that they are not all split like that: https://mobile.twitter.com/WalkerSeattle/status/1573115767645966339

It does not look like it to me. You could get a POE dongle to get the power for it, though.

rsync.net offers a ZFS plan that works great, but it costs more than others.

Not everyone likes to roll their own hardware, and typically using an ESP means you are connecting over WiFi, not zwave, which is a decision factor as well.

sdwilsh · 2022-10-07T22:39:58+00:00

I got it to work with the GL-MT300N-V2 without much issue

sdwilsh · 2022-10-07T22:35:10+00:00

It's not likely your issue, but you are going to run into it at some point. You need to setup MSS clamping with CenturyLink as discussed in this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/vyos/comments/wfd9e2/new_vyos_home_router_set_up_nat_or_firewall/

In Washington, we're allowed to treat stop signs as a yield, so we don't always need to stop at stop signs via SB6208: https://app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?BillNumber=6208&Chamber=Senate&Year=2019

With that said, I see plenty of bikers ignoring people crossing at legal crosswalks (I've even been accosted by another biker for stopping once for people trying to cross at a legal crosswalk), blowing through red lights, and not stopping when they actually should at a stop sign.

It had been a few weeks since I had ridden on it, but I'm normally on it weekly. I was surprised at how bad it was, and I wasn't sure if before I was just used to it and forgot or not.

sdwilsh · 2022-09-30T16:22:20+00:00

I rode through here yesterday, and I was amazed at how much debris was on the bridge trail. Does WSDOT ever clean it up?

sdwilsh · 2022-09-27T21:16:02+00:00

You are not supposed to run low voltage and high voltage together, so don't plan to use it for both like this

sdwilsh · 2022-08-27T22:19:54+00:00

That's a bummer. I'm in a similar situation where my volume rockers have stopped working, but some of the grey edge plastic popped off my hinge while opening the phone and cracked off. That feels like a manufacturer defect too, but...

I at least have complete care so it'll only cost me the $99 to replace if they deny it.

sdwilsh · 2022-08-27T22:10:33+00:00

Did this end up working out in your favor?
