They seem so good in the movies, but actually taste mostly just like straight vodka, which most people aren't going to enjoy.

A really nice video visualizing how different data structures link together in the heap. Focus is on infinite and cyclic structures, and how to leverage them.

Looking for some self-contained grimdark books to read. Most of the genre seems to be the form of trilogies or even longer series, but I'm not looking to start a long project right now. Just a single story within one book, and then move on to other stuff (unless I get hooked..)

The internet didn't come up completely short on this topic. This article contains some recommendations already.

Bored on holidays or miss Omegle? Come chat with us on MeroChat!

It's a web based random chat where you're presented with a flow of user profiles, whom you can choose to chat with. And of course someone else might find you the same way and send you a message out of the blue (provided your privacy settings allow it).

And here's the code. (Written in PureScript!) A lot remains to be done but it's a joyful thing already.

There's nothing wrong with my old PC case, except I'd like some USB-Cs in the front panel.

The panel itself is unfortunately integrated, but it's possible to get additional front panels to 3.5" and 5.25" slots (the ones traditionally used for CDs etc). Here's one example from akasa with at least one USB-C: https://akasa.co.uk/search.php?seed=AK-ICR-36

It's perfectly fine if I have to just disconnect the integrated USB-A ports due to lack of motherboard connectors. They suck anyway.

So, please share recommendations for such devices. Let's not let those old cases go to waste!

Excellent resource for USB4 M.2 enclosures.

Be aware though, the word is these things run hot.[^chip]

[^chip]: Apparently it's not just the drives. The chips themselves heat up.

My bike is exposed to the sun on the balcony where I keep it. This is probably not so great for the leather saddle, so I improvised a sun cover from some wire and folio. This highly advanced design doesn't trap heat underneath.

Hey!

I just found out about KSP and really want to get into it. However I'm a bit a confused about the best way to begin. Here are some questions about the setup:

1. Apparently KSP2 isn't all that great and I should just get the original game?

2. Given I did that, should I get DLCs? Do they add meaningful content or are they just overlapping with mods?

3. Mod recommendations? Not looking to make the game needlessly complicated, but just the kinda mods that a beginner would consider improvements.

4. Install method? Steam Linux version, direct download Linux version or windows version through Proton?

Thanks!

PS. KSP is on Steam sale until 11.9!

Sleeping pad sizes seem to be standardized somehow like this:
normal: 183cm x 55cm
long: 195 cm x 65cm

I.e. the longer is also wider. I need extra length but not the width. (It creates complications with the limited tent floorspace.)

So, do you know any sleeping pads with dimensions around 195 cm x 55cm?

So far I have really only found two: Robens Vapour 60 and Robens Primavapour 60.

These work alright for warm weathers but a pad with higher R-value is still missing from my radar.

Rain jackets intended for road cycling tend to be just jerseys with a waterproof membrane, which sucks in every other situation of life. I'm looking for something more versatile.

MTB gear is usually quite fully featured, often just not very packable. E.g. I really enjoy my Endura MT500 II rain jacket. It has pockets, ventilation zips and a helmet compatible hood. In my vision the perfect travel jacket would be similar but from a more lightweight/packable fabric.

The best I've found so far is Montbell Versalite, which checks all the boxes except over the helmet hood, as it's not intended for helmet wearing sports. (Sure one can wear the hood under the helmet too, but it would be nicer to wear it on top.)

Are you aware of any alternatives that would have a helmet compatible hood? Or just otherwise good jackets with different compromises?

Spending all day everyday on bike saddle puts a special emphasis on comfort. Share your trusty favorites! (And why not the ones that didn’t work too)
