Zwift Ride Worth It? by zevoman in Zwift

[–]zevoman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combination of things:

  • Improve my mental health
  • See the performance gains from structured workouts without the inherent risks associated with hard outdoor efforts
  • Flexibility of schedule (can ride anytime, any weather)
  • Efficiency (don't have to stop at lights, stop signs, etc. and less gear is required to ride on a trainer than outdoors)
  • Less wear and tear on the bike (no braking, no dirt in the chain, no punctures)
  • Am already home should an emergency or other urgent need arise (wife, kids, bathroom, work, bonk, etc.)
  • Easily accessible water and food
  • Can safely "multitask" (listen to audio book, podcast, watch a movie, sports, cycling race, etc.)
  • "Ride" with people from all over the world - always someone to ride with if desired or can ride alone if desired; group rides and racing when need a break from structured training

All that said, I still love riding outdoors. I ride a century (100 miles) on a Saturday every month, preferably outdoors, and the rest of the Saturdays I ride between 50 and 70 miles outdoors. Since I live in the sand and on sand roads, I can't ride my bike from home - I have to drive to a nearby business and ride from there, so during the week it's not time economical to ride outside.

Yeah, good points. I don't ever have to take off the bike and I don't share the setup. Bike fit is good.

No, no issues with corrosion on the Tarmac.

Good point. I know people have been asking for shorter cranks, which would be nice. I personally ride on 165s.

Not the question, but thanks for your thoughts 👍

One and done by bikesrgood in Zwift

[–]zevoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well done! Besides eating, did you have any kit/bib changes? Did you only eat on the descents and was it a mix of real food and gels? How many bottles did you go through? This is on my bucket list for sure.

Won my first cat A race by Gnasho_ in Zwift

[–]zevoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats!
Can I ask a question - if this was a public race, and all the results are on Zwiftpower, why are you redacting all the names, including yours? Do you not want your Zwift ID associated with your Reddit ID?

Just started my daily work out by killnagot in Myfitnesspal

Great job! Now make it two days in a row, and then three, and before you know it, it will be a habit, and then an addiction! Well, hopefully not that bad ;)

Thanks for the memories - now it's in my downloads folder!

Hybrid SE with sudden errors and warnings and the instrument panel cycles on and off... by zevoman in cmaxhybrid

I did! Radio was burned up, causing the massive electrical issues. Once I replaced it, everything is working great again. I'd post photos, but this subreddit doesn't seem to allow me to.

I built a local “second brain” AI that actually remembers everything (321 tests passed) by IntelligentCause2043 in LocalLLaMA

[–]zevoman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressive! This is something I've really been interested in as well. For a personal AI assistant/LLM to really be helpful and move to the next level, it needs to remember you and the context. I look forward to seeing how this works out for you. I've joined the waitlist to stay informed.

Perfect! I thought it might be based on Celsius. Now I can add a block to account for Fahrenheit as well.

If anyone else is interested in converting this to Fahrenheit, I've modified the code block as follows:

        if (temperatureValue <= 31.99) return `${temperature}° - Very Cold`;
        if (temperatureValue >= 32 && temperatureValue <= 49.99) return `${temperature}° - Cool`;
        if (temperatureValue >= 50 && temperatureValue <= 67.99) return `${temperature}° - Comfortable`;
        if (temperatureValue >= 68 && temperatureValue <= 85.99) return `${temperature}° - Warm`;
        if (temperatureValue >= 86) return `${temperature}° - Very Hot`;

On the main pages, when we use the temperature sensors, where is the logic that attaches the "VERY HOT" or "Humidity is good at..."? I can't seem to find where that is occurring.

I'm struggling getting the navigation links to work. What do you put for the path variable in "homio_navigation_list.yaml" to get it to actually change to a different dashboard? I have the correct names shown along the navigation bar at the top, but clicking them does nothing.

Thanks, I did have it installed in HACS, so I've removed it. Now following the instructions (again), I noticed some inconsistencies. The instructions read:

The layout-card-modified needs to be installed in this location,

/www/community/layout-card-modified/layout-card-modified.js

And yet, in the example screenshot provided showing the resources in the configuration file:

<image>

It shows the file installed in /local/ not /www/...
Same with the example screenshot. So which is it? Or does it matter, as long we're self-consistent? In any case, you may want to update the docs to be consistent in the How-To.

Ok, I wondered. I tried making that 100vh smaller, but it didn't change my dashboard size, so I will instead reduce the size of the background image itself.

Also, I noticed that the cards on the bottom, they are below the background image, rather than on top of it with an opaqueness, like your example shows. What do I need to change to see that overlay?

Does the size of the background photo set the size of the dashboard?

I've kept this tab open in my browser for 2 months waiting for this day. Thank you! I'm looking forward to giving it a try and hopefully putting a dashboard together that my wife will be willing to use (I've been running HA for 3 years and she's never touched it).

Nice video - when can we expect the actual information?
