@ascentale@sfba.social @jerzone@techhub.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social #bikenite A6: this is most of the stuff: tyre levers, hex keys in all the appropriate sizes, spanner for the wheel bearings, chain tool, mini cassette tool, replacement valve cap which seals airtight in case of a leaky valve, some spare fasteners brake pads and an only very slightly bent hanger. There's also a separate plastic box with a replacement TPU tube and a selection of TPU tube patches, and a Lezyne mini pump on the frame, plus a mini pair of locking pliers.

@teadrinker@aus.social We were at a friend's place and all their chooks in the henhouse were going nuts so we looked in and they were all sitting in their nest boxes which seemed odd because they should have been out foraging so we had a closer look and in one of the boxes, sitting on a couple of eggs and trying to avoid eye contact, was a large and sleek Australian Raven.

@az@scorpinc.social ground control to Major Tom Are you on mute? Are your speakers on? hey does anyone know how I share my screen now I think this thing upgraded since yesterday when Iast tried it. The Skype looks very different today ...

@moira@mastodon.murkworks.net @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org yeah I can't remember the quote now but as someone said, our descendant won't believe we had all these hydrocarbons available and just burned the stuff.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org looks like maybe it was designed for a different [freewheel], like a 5 speed or something? That bend in the seatstay can't be accidental or the whole frame would be wonky as hell.

@pete@masto.hypertelia.com ah it's more not scaring the shit out of people, even if you're passing responsibly with heaps of room on an explicitly shared trail sometimes people jump a mile and yeah maybe don't wear noise cancelling headphones if you're going to get spooked but ...

@redsad@ohai.social Apologizing for my part in the machine but someone has to do it.

@ProPublica Prenatal classes should include a visit to an old cemetery.

@ascentale @xtaran @bikenite #bikenite A1: G'day from Melbourne, Australia where yesterday was perfect and today is a bit ominously humid, but either way it doesn't feel like late Autumn. Anyway. I've got an LED headlight on the bars which has an external 4x18650 battery pack which fits in my frame bag. During the day I'll use that as a strobe, after dark I use it as a steady-on headlight and stick a smaller white light on as a strobe. I have the lights mounted with cable ties to make them annoying to steal, when the bike is in the garage I have a bundle of USB cables hanging from the rafters to plug them all in :-)

@ascentale@sfba.social @puercomal@sfba.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social #bikenite A6: Hey, sorry to hear it Jack, best wishes for a speedy recovery. As @ajft@aus.social says, get thee to the physio it really does work. I had a titanium plate and several screws in my collarbone for a year thanks to a motorcycle accident, and got it removed and have 99% movement back now thanks to physio :-) The right exercises, eat well, listen to your body, all that crap :-)

@benno first pope to get a pyconau keynote :-)

@tezoatlipoca @ori @neauoire 1/1000th of an inch is also sometimes called a "mil" which is a smidge confusing if you're used to a "millimeter" being called a "mil". 1/10000th of an inch is sometimes called a "tenth". Also there's an angular unit called a "milliradian" which is 1/1000th of a radian and is also called a "mil".

@oheso@ieji.de @meganL@mas.to @ascentale@sfba.social @SRLevine@neuromatch.social @bikenite@fedigroups.social Yep, ramps are terrible, they're put there so car drivers do not have to slow down so they *will not slow down*.

@dev@discuss.systems not sure that ratio is correct ...

@xtaran @ascentale @bikenite @rasterweb The LEDs are about 1W each but I'm running them on a small duty cycle. They're paired up, 1 and 3 vs 2 and 4. The ESP32-C3 board (center) is massive overkill but lets me play around with different light patterns in MicroPython. I should write these adventures up as a little blog article.

@xtaran @ascentale @bikenite @rasterweb The prototype:

@kernellogger@hachyderm.io Damnit that was my dream setup for a while there, you could do cool graphics mode shit on the main VGA card and still read the debugging output on the HGA. (I don't quite remember how that worked now but anyway, that's why people loved them)

@tubetime@mastodon.social Mmmm, I love the combination of unshielded banana plugs and 33kV circuitry 🙂

@JHein @cmconseils up all night painting HOC SATIS EST all over the Forum.

@cuddlyanarchist @benno Renaming Benno to Rowdy Benno from now on.

@hanno ha sorry that got sent a bit early ... "What you're looking for is the ..." :-)

@foone@digipres.club there's that pogo pin test point L connected there too so maybe it's an on-board diagnostic output. There are a disturbing number of jumpers on this board. Oh no, is this a single-sided board from the early pick and place era?

@rk I kinda miss the old Sun4 Forth openboot loader now ...

@glent@aus.social yeah I'm feeling like a bit of an idiot for not just taking Friday off, but so it goes ... at least I got a bit of a ride in. Slowly building up my distance again after illness so the question really is how to maintain over winter.

@rasterweb @xtaran @ascentale @bikenite best of luck for your surgery and for a speedy recovery!

@liamvhogan@aus.social everyone talks about chocolate bars shrinking but the first time I really felt it was the Dunlop KT-26.

@doctroid@vmst.io oh I know it's fucking everywhere these days, I really miss Guru Meditation Errors.

@ax11 @joshmillard Biology is just ATP's way of making more ATP.

@claudinec@aus.social certainly woke up the animals!

@ascentale @eq @bikenite Some Weldtite wax products may have had Teflon (a PFAS) at some point but maybe they stopped doing that? Not sure.

@hanno if you just want numbers and not formulae, python's scipy.stats.binom.cdf(k,n,p) function returns the probability that if you choose n bits with probability p of being true, at most k of them will be true.

So, eg: binom.cdf(40,100,0.5) = 0.02844 so if you pick 100 bits, there's a 2.84% chance there'll be 40 or fewer true, and also a 2.84% chance there'll be 40 or fewer false.

@KneeNeart@sunny.garden @Ex_spurt@aus.social I think the artist should add a little BRS on there ala Goya ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Devouring_His_Son

By the way, if anyone has somehow found this post because they have the same problem, I think it's because sometimes there's a pop-up strip at the bottom of the apple TV page in Firefox which asks me to confirm I'm still in Australia and if I X it away it still has menus and previews and stuff but upon playing an actual episode it throws this error until I exit the browser and go back in and hit okay on the strip to confirm then everything works again. PS: I don't really approve of these shenanigans but Pluribus is rather good.
