I still hate the activity summary screen. The old design, with some basic numbers in the three circles in the middle beneath the map, looked great, had better information density, and looked unique. The new one looks bland and generic, and has oodles of wasted blank space.

It saddens me that somebody over at Garmin got actually paid designing that.

Going for a long slow run tomorrow morning, after missing such run last weekend, because we had a 35C heat wave here then.

Zone 2 mostly, some zone 3 because I am too undisciplined. :)

So, what do you think of the Garmin intergration? I have had Fittrackee in my sights for a good while now, and the only thimg holding me back from trying it is that I donk know how painful (or painless) the activity upload/sync from my Garmin watch will be.

I just use my own custom built docker images and have a few aliases set up for different “instances”, e.g. one for banking, one for tis eshop, one for that eshop, etc. Each with its own firefox data dir and own downloads subfolder. Plus an alias to launch a temporary clean instance that gets discarded after it exits.

But at latitudes 55 to 60, days are really very short in midwinter, so wind and waste wood are the likely candidates in future - after oil shale leaves the scene, but before synthetic gas becomes feasible.

I was wondering exactly this - the Baltic countries are quite far to the north, so the feasibility of solar energy must be bordering on questionable there. Thank you.

My solution is to use slightly smaller sock sizes, so that they are always stretched tightly around my foot, and there is minimum movement between the sock and my skin.

But also, correct shoe for your foot shape, so that everything is tight and snug in there, instead of moving all around - especially around toes, but also the heel.

I typically only get tiny blisters on longer runs - that’s 40km or more for me. But that happens regardless of whether my feet get drenched or not. Of course, everyone’s feet are different, so you have to find what works for you. :)

I agree as well, running through creeks, puddles, or even melting snow sludge without a care can be so liberating and enjoyable.

Or like last week, I went for a run shortly after a rain, and parts of my chosen route were through tall grass and bushes which obscured the path to knee height. My legs had to push through the growth, and all the water on the stalks ended on my knees and shins, leaked down towards the socks and eventually into the shoe. Within five minutes, my feet were as wet as if I had dipped them under water directly, making wet sounds with every step. No waterproof shoe design would be able to protect against that! :)

Years ago, I read somewhere that professional trail runners, when choosing shoes, do not look at how waterproof they are, but rather how well the water flows out of them.

Then I suggest adding https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ to your mix of news sources. Sometimes we need to balance out all the click-seeking negative-only news sources.

The language choice was because Ladybird started as a component of SerenityOS, which is also written in C++. With this separation, they are free to gradually introduce other language(s) into the codebase, and maybe eventually replace C++ entirely, piece by piece.

In Hackernews thread about this, the head maintainer mentioned that they have been evaluating several languages already, so we’ll see what the future brings.

In the meantime, let’s try to be mature about it, what do you say?

That’s a web rendering engine, not a web browser application. You need a lot of stuff other than the engine to make a browser.

You shouldn’t have any sloshing if you suck all the air out. I’m mentioning this because to my surprise, a lot of people, even experienced runners do not realize that iscan option, and were used to running with their water sloshing around as they run. :)

As a longtime Debian Stable user, I can attest that gaming on it works just fine, whether via Proton or natively.

It was rough at the first half year or so after Steam Linux client launched where system libraries were simply too old and one had to smuggle in libc from Ubuntu, but that got solved by the next Debian release, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. :)

Of course, I wouldn’t recommend Debian for a gaming system for a newbie. It’s just what I’ve been using as my daily driver for decades, so I did not want to switch to something else just for something as unimportant as gaming.

Back in college, we had this huge LAN spanning hundreds of computers, and we had a central instance of a search engine that crawled all the Samba and FTP shares, so anyone could just look up whatever media or software they were looking for, and if the particular computer was online at the time (people do turn off their PCs sometimes, go figure :) ), download it.

Of course, I’m not sure if having unprotected SMB/FTP shares is something fitting into your idea of a local intranet, but it’s an option. The guys maintaining the crawler even put the code online, and it should still mostly work: https://github.com/fslts/lase

I hope the new gameplay is going to be more than just endless progressbars with “OK” buttons at their end (see e.g. archeological digs, space megastructures).

Hopefully they will add something unique to the game. Playing the demo was pretty boring - it’s basically a paint-by-numbers automation game. It’s a decent skeleton to build a good game around, let’s hope they do the genre justice. :)

Also, every nation, regardless of culture, religion or government type plays the same - the only perceivable difference is access to resources for your economy. I tried playing large nations and small nations in every corner of the planet, and got pretty bored towards the end.

I decided that I won’t so much as look at Vicky 3 for at least two or three years, then give it another chance. Hopefully by then, it won’t be an empty canvas with just some of the corners painted in, like it is now.

The game’s got great potential, but it is mostly unrealized yet.

Steam doesn’t want my phone number just to sign up, Discord does. :)

This is all general info, which I more or less pieced together from various forum posts and the mod description on the Steam Workshop - but thanks for confirming it.

What I was looking for is some table summarizing which Anbennar version works best with which game version. And ideally versioned tags in the git repo - or release tarballs, whichever is easiest to maintain for the devs.

What I would like to know is how to track the development and releases for this mod. It seems pretty difficult to get this info, if you do not want to give up your privacy and join their Discord.

I read in some discussions that right now, the release that is available via Steam Workshop is outdated and buggy on latest game versions, and that they are working on an update. But I can’t find anything useful anywhere about it.

I just use the zones as preset on my Garmin watch. I don’t really care that much what percentages they are at exactly, for me it is enough that what the watch is showing me more or less matches my “feel” during a run.

I did a few months of doing weekend long runs mostly in Z2 according to my watch, and I did feel the improvement I wanted, and that is enough for me. To hell with exact percentages.

Your mileage may vary. :)

I’ll echo the others in saying don’t overdo it! Tendons and joints are the slowest to adapt to new load, and are the first to break if overstressed.

But congrats - you did good and you should feel good! :)
