I always wondered if people still make quirky Lego cities like the old days

This. I also wonder when people will realize that having more RAM doesn't mean having to use it all (electron, looking at you)

Unfortunately flats are the most common thing I get and suck most at fixing on the road. I used to pack way too many tools than were necessary simply because one time my chain got stuck between the hub and frame, and I didn't have any tools with me.

Never thought about the mount-ability of those little straps since I always seem to have a spot for them on any bike I rode. It sucks to not have proper mounting, especially when doing a trip like this!

Ah, maybe that's due to the weather you had there. In my experience some ticks always seem to end up on my legs going through dense forests.

Thank you for the info, I appreciate it a lot!

Like others said, you can try installing Arch manually (not with the install script). You get the hang of the terminal and you get to see a bit more of how Linux works under the hood. The wiki is your friend, spend some time reading it!

Julia Evans recently did a thing about job control here. Nothing yet on multiplexers though

I see, a pretty nice selection of stuff! Did your bike break down at all through the trip? And did you find your tools to be adequate?

I'm thinking of making a trip like this, but not international, only around my country. Curious on what to expect maintenance wise.

Did any insects bother you, while cooking or while sleeping?

That spot looks beautiful to camp. What kind of hiking gear do you have?

I've never met someone that didn't hate their rewritable CDs. After a few months of reading/writing they would go bad.

I agree, some floppies are particularly bad as well, but most I've handled worked okay

An application to read morse code by analyzing the live video or audio stream in c/[email protected]
[–] arcosenautic 1 points 4 months ago

I do not know about video, however for audio there is already GGMorse (play store link) available for both modern smartphone platforms. You can communicate with Morse using UHF as well, but in my opinion it does not work as reliably as standard Morse code.

If you're curious, you can try talking to your friends with SSTV, but I'm afraid there isn't a free iOS app AFAIK

I know you said to not use third party applications, but syncthing can do this well. Plus you can sync more than just passwords if it's useful to you.
