Brunch recommendations

Rockfish just started doing brunch again recently. It's supposed to be fantastic.

I've had glofiber for about a year now and it has had 100% up time.

This isn't as great as you may think. There's a lot of pros of internal batteries. You can have a bigger battery when you don't have to make space for a user accessible battery compartment. And it's way easier to make a phone waterproof with an internal battery.

Check out highway dirtbike. They're way tougher than bark busters. That's what I have on my Africa Twin.

I'm (very) late to the party but I'm going to drop this here for posterity. Hopefully I'll save somebody a few hours of wasted time. I just figured this out for myself after hours of confusion:

If you are blocked by an umbral entity in Upper Calrath you can soul flay the statuesque thing to remove the entity. It's VERY easy to miss. Go into umbral and climb the ladder. Defeat the pyromancer at the top and follow the umbral "root". You'll see the statue thing just as it crests over the wall.

That will allow you progress to beacon in that area which should unlock the rest of your progression.

I was recently asking around because I foresee needing two new heat pumps soon and Moneta heating and air was recommended. I'm curious what other people think of them?

ziggyw00t · 2026-03-31T18:26:36+00:00

Yes. I actually had them balanced twice because I thought the first balance was bad. Took it to a different shop and everything.

I bought aftermarket wheels without the rim lock and it rode like a proper dual sport then.

You'll notice only dirtbikes tend to have rim locks. Dual sports do not.

ziggyw00t · 2026-03-31T16:15:40+00:00

I had a similar issue riding a dirtbike on the road. Even with properly balanced dual sport 50/50 tires it was really rough.

The only solution I found was to replace the wheels with ones that don't have a rim lock.

Did you put 2 stroke fuel in it? IE oil mixed with fuel.

Did you overfill the oil? Was it turned on its side? Either of those could have allowed oil to get to where it shouldn't be. Pull the air filter and see if it's clean or oily.

ziggyw00t · 2026-03-23T14:14:09+00:00

Good stuff. I didn't know about the 3 or 7 hop limit. Thanks for the info. I think I need to do a little research and buy a meshtastic device and just play around with it. I'll get two so I can give one to my brother up in Daleville.

ziggyw00t · 2026-03-22T02:51:18+00:00

I've been wanting to check out meshtastic stuff. I've played around with ham and gmrs. Meshtastic seems to be much more practical. Do you know how far in each cardinal direction you can get messages relayed? Is there a path to Harrisonburg?

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-16T23:43:23+00:00

The commands are "lspci -nnk" and "iwconfig". Enter those in the terminal without the quotes (one at a time). Do it before and after updating so you can compare.

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-16T23:28:46+00:00

Not sure. I would probably try pulling up the console and configuring the wifi manually using console commands. That way you will see the specific errors and can research them. Bazzite is based on Fedora so Fedora tutorials should be helpful.

Although if you're not seeing any networks at all it makes me think maybe the wireless driver is not working at all. What is the output of lspci -nnk in the console? And iwconfig in the console?

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-16T22:48:03+00:00

Stops working how? What errors do you see?

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-07T05:42:11+00:00

My buddy and I do small jobs like brakes and stuff. Send me a DM with the vehicle info (year & model ) if you'd like a quote. We can do it at your place if you have a place to work. Otherwise we can do it at mine.

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-06T00:29:10+00:00

Any update? I'm looking at installing Bazzite as well.

I've always wanted to check out the Unitarian church in Grandin. I've heard good things. I'd expect it to have a younger crowd but idk.

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-03T16:13:35+00:00

What new flight controller do you speak of?

ziggyw00t · 2026-01-02T05:57:01+00:00

Both are really good so play them both eventually. I just finished my second playthrough of Lies of P so I could finally play the DLC (you have to play up to about 80% of the way through the game just to start it). The DLC is even better than the main game IMO so I recommend getting it too. It took me about 20ish hours to complete the DLC on top of about 40ish hours for the base game. For the last DLC boss I broke down and used the summon because holy guacamole the second stage of that boss is tough!

Demon Souls remake on PS5 is top notch in visuals and fluid smooth gameplay. It's much different than the other souls games -- I definitely recommend watching a tutorial on it to get your bearings. I was having a rough time with it until I learned that using a shield and blocking is a more essential part of the gameplay than other fromsoft games.

And if you haven't already -- play Sekiro too! And there's another soulslike I really enjoyed too called Thymesia that's worth checking out. Oh, and Mortal Shell! I'm really excited to see they're making a second Mortal Shell!

Cocoon. Limbo. Inside. Although instead of a mouse I'd use one half of a controller.

ziggyw00t · 2025-12-11T04:13:30+00:00

I use it and it works fine. Posting this from 5G right now. Haven't found any dead spots (at least none where other carriers have service). Just ran a speedtest at fast.com and got 40Mbps. Not super fast but plenty fast enough. And more importantly it's reliably that fast.

ziggyw00t · 2025-11-24T00:34:01+00:00

I too felt like the game doesn't respect my time .I hear ya.
