Garmin Forerunner 965, TrainAsOne and Garmin Connect

I’ve decided that this will be the hill I die on. I’m not scanning biometrics or uploading my id.

Same

I got a new PC and was really upset at the idea of putting windows on it. The ad lack of ownership of my own hardware, I couldn’t do it, and so I installed Linux (again), but this time, it stuck.

I’ve reached the age where I’m starting to noticably slow down and things are getting harder, I’ve had pneumonia a couple of times, a bunch of surgeries, and possibly covid in the middle of it.

If I’m honest, I’ve not got back to where I was, and I likely never will. And it’s been really demotivating, meaning that I’ll pause my runs, and lose momentum if I’m not careful.

What worked for me was making sure it wasn’t just me. I encourage my partner to come out for a walk when I run, so that we can push each other in to moving. I also set myself an event to train for, and once I’ve done it in a few weeks, I’ll set myself another event, even if it’s a year away, and use an app/plan to give me some structure to my training.

I have particularly relied on TrainAsOne, as it adjusts with my fitness, but honestly, any sort of plan that gives you an actual plan, will help when it comes to sustaining your momentum.

All of that being said, I’m typing this, after having put off my scheduled run because it’s cold outside. But as soon as I’ve sent this, I’m going to and get dressed and run. And having put that out there in a world, now, I’ll actually do it :)

You can use the open drivers instead of the closed ones, but they’re not as developed.

Nvidia dropped support for some older cards in their linux driver recently, so that could be it!

Unrelated to the larger topic, but how do you find Endurain? I want to dump Strava, but last time I looked at self hosted Strava alternatives (maybe a year ago?), none of them really came close to parity in features.

They positioned themselves as the ethical choice, financially supported a bigot, and advertised his distro, then made excuses for it when called out.

Kinda like you’re doing

I’m not going to dance around words because you want to protect the sensibilities of a bigot.

I’m not “meh” about denouncing bigots. If you’ve supported a bigot and you don’t actively and vocally walk it back, that’s not “meh”. That’s a refusal to acknowledge the issue and the harm done in normalising the voices and visibility of bigots

I’m not in the habit of assuming companies that knowingly supported bigots, the benefit of the doubt. If there isn’t a clear, loud and non ambiguous walking back of their clear, loud and unambiguous support, then why would you, I or anyone else assume they have done so?

Same guy, but no, I was referring to Omarchy and DHH himself.

Care to support the transphobes angle with evidence? Or does it work like an honorary title?

Interesting that you chose to be passive aggressive and get your back up at the the idea that he’s transphobic, rather than simply asking for evidence…

In any case, he did an article on his blog celebrating Abigail Shrier and her transphobic Irreversible Damage book. I’m not going to link to his blog, but if you want to find it, it was posted in March 2024

I’d be happy to if I could find any evidence it were true.

They support and fund DHH

Yay, yet another tech company funding racists and transphobes is doing well :/

I’ve yet to see someone smoking a cigarette whilst running a marathon…

CachyOS does the same

I don’t think enough people realize that this is catastrophically bad. It’ll discourage people from becoming open source developers, it’ll discourage people from using Linux, and it’ll discourage legislators from taking the Linux community seriously.

Sure, but personally, I don’t want a linux community that’s driven by corporate needs and governments that have been paid off by them. I don’t view it as a catastrophe, if that’s the version of “the linux community” that we lose.

None of that is to say that harassing devs is correct. It’s not, and never is. Harassing anyone with death threats and dogpiling is not on. But if we take that out of the picture, negative pushback that drives away devs that would otherwise have helped implement universal age gating isn’t something I’m terribly upset over, because I don’t want the version of community they’re taking us towards

Our setup uses a domain pointed at a dynamic (but stable) IP with a script to update it periodically
