Lorn - Acid Rain

Followed by the rest of his discography.

Then take a dive into Culprate Deliverance and αριθμός τέσσερα (Number Four) albums.

Oooo that cataclysm games sounds interesting. Gonna have to check that out and see what's up!

Thanks for the link, that is where I will be going to do just that.

I would use Linux if I could but sadly I can't.

Pixel 6a on Graphene, never had that. Very occasionally the entire app will shit itself and just close but that is maybe once a month and i use it daily. Never affected the phone as a whole though.

Linux doesn't run what I need, getting some form of LTSC is my only option.

It isn't exactly efficient use of energy thoufh and as others have also said it would cause serious safety problems with wind coming from other directions.

Dressing appropriately for the weather would be a far better solution.

That looks like it would be hell to pedal in any kind of headwind!

I added two alternatives last night -

https://mediafusion.elfhosted.com/configure

https://knightcrawler.elfhosted.com/configure

They both gave me links and worked exactly as torrentio did when working. Maybe give them a try.

So a pretty run of the mill gravel bike then? And only space for up to 38mm tyres is pretty weak IMO. It is a nice looking bike but it isn't really bringing anything to the table.

Librevox was actually where my journey into reading began so yes, ive used it extensively.

It is a great resource for sure but also some readers I absolutely could not stand and would stop listening based on how they read or the way they pronounced stuff that annoyed me. Conversely there are some absolutely great readers on there as well.

This is how I found hat kinds of stories / genres I liked in the first place by just going through their library and listening to random stuff. Finding authors I liked and then bingeing everything I could find of theirs.

I started my journey off with Lovecraft and Edgar Rice Burroughs on there and still go back sometimes and listen to the recordings people have made for librevox. I have a special place in my heart for the caspak trilogy as they were the first books I ever really got into!

Ive never been able to physically read books, I end up getting bored, reading the same page over and over etc I just can't concentrate on it long enough and as such always thought I didn't really like books.

Then I discovered audiobooks around 10 years ago.

Now I get through probably 100 plus books each year and fucking love it. I always listen to books at work whilst doing stuff like setting up machines, I'll listen to them whilst doing chores, or working on my bike or any other kind of task like that.

If I'm not enjoying a book after around half an hour or so I'll just drop it and move on unless it is something I really want to get into but as ive got older I apply this mindset to a lot more things and find in general it makes things a lot more enjoyable than trying to force stuff I'm not enjoying.

I mainly read fantasy and horror and never read to learn or anything like that, it is purely for enjoyment!

 

I'm trying to identify what special edition this Xbox controller is but I'm struggling to find any info online that matches it.

It is grey and red with metallic red d-pad and triggers and has "you died" printed in the centre at the bottom. Initially that made me think it was some kind of dark souls related edition but searching those words just brings me up endless threads of people having issues with using a controller and the game.

I've scrolled through lists and lists of pictures of special editions and can't seem to find the right one, so does anyone have any insight into what this may be?

Maybe it is one someone has had made for themselves as I found it in a charity shop but it seems too good quality to be custom work and is definitely an official controller.

Any help appreciated!

Bird - Zero AM (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/bicycling@lemmy.world
 

After a conversation in this community and people showing off their bikes I wanted to share mine too. My Zero AM made by Bird.

Started like this in October -

Over the winter I stripped it down and painted it all myself in pink with a yellow pearl. Replaced a few bits that needed it like headset and BB and serviced everything else.

Current spec is:

XT group set with Raceface Aeffect cranks and Raceface Chester pedals.

DMR wingbars, grips and stem with a nukeproof headset and Rockshox Revelation upfront

Halo Vapour 50 rims with Maxxis Minion DHF 2.8 on the Front and Vittoria Mazza 2.6 on the rear

Generic dropper post and saddle.

I even colour coded my brake levers -

I'll post my commuter / training bike after I've given it a good clean next, if anyone is interested :)
