I cycle for adventure and experience, it's also why I prefer gravel and offroad cycling to road. That gravel crunch in the forest, smell of the trees, sound of birds and absolutely no traffic is pure bliss. Ok sure there is some suffering during climbs, but the feeling of accomplishment when you finally get on top and the descent that follow are worth it.

I join one gravel competition a year, but I go for the event, not to actually compete. I like riding with one friend, on paths where we can ride side by side and chat, and I don't see a point in group road rides where you just stare at the butt of the rider in front of you the entire ride.

In general I experience joy the entire bike ride, it's like my therapy, a couple of hours without a phone, outside, just me and silence. I guess the fitness that comes with it is good too.

I outright blocked twitter domain in Reddit app I used before, and that was before twitter got locked down to unregistered users. Now any twitter link would just result in "login" screen for me, making those posts useless.

If a post is so interesting that it needs to be posted, maybe just post a screenshot instead and add source as a comment.

North American cities were initially walkable cities based near a train station. Then cars came and they ripped the train tracks out and paved the cities because cars were profitable and politicians got their cut.

Autonomous vehicles still take up a lot of space, and with more public transit stops, the last mile becomes the last 100 yards, which you can easily walk. Or if it really is a mile, you can hop on a shared bike or escooter.

It will work fine, if it takes a few seconds longer to boot, it really does it matter with a server. But I'd still separate the OS from the data drive, since you can get a 120gb SSD for $10, it's a no brainer really, in case you need to reinstall the OS, you can leave the data untouched.

You can also backup data from the SSD to the HDD in case it fails.

But for simplicity and if you don't really care about possibly losing data, running everything from a single HDD will work fine, most stuff will get loaded in RAM anyway, and run from there, it's not like you'll be launching new apps all the time.

Everything in the backpack, I don't like stuff in my pockets while riding.
