Found the other NixOS user. ;)

My advice: don’t change anything else right now.

The temptation is high to pack it all in at once; make all the big changes.

2 hours a day is a lot. Not too much, just a lot. So, since you asked, don’t change your diet yet. Get into the groove of building this new thing into some level of consistency. Once you’re 90 days in, start modifying something else. Diet. Sleep. Intensity.

Work on one routine at a time.

Now if you’re going too far into calorie deficit then you can think about what your energy needs are but keep the other changes to bare necessity.

Lying liar lied. News at 11.

I can’t imagine that being the case for most users. I’m absolutely a power user and I keep being surprised at how consistently high the performance is of my base model M1 Air w/16GB even when compared to another Mac workstation of mine with 64GB.

I can run two VMs, a ton of live loading development tooling, several JVM programs and so much more on that little Air and it won’t even sweat.

I’m not an Apple apologist - lots of poor decisions these days and software quality has taken a real hit. While 16GB means everyone’s getting a machine that should last much longer, I can’t see a normal user needing more any time soon, especially when Apple is optimizing their local machine learning models for their 8GB iOS platforms first and foremost.

You come to my door. You get candy.

I found my people here.

Got a chance to ride in a BYD EV this summer. Impressive vehicle, doubly so for the price.

It exists for the outgoing Mac mini. We ran two minis in a 1u, colocated in a DC, for years. They ran Ubuntu server.

Wonka Piercer. It’s so implausible it just might be true.

…drew their swords and shot each other. A deaf policeman heard their cry.

If you don’t believe this lie is true. Ask the blind man, he saw it too.

OCD checking in here too.

To clean the chains they go in an ultrasonic cleaner with heated water to get rid of the existing wax. This makes it easy to just put all the chains in at once and let them party.

Then a second ultrasonic session with some isopropyl for a final clean and repelling the water. I have mason jars that the chains go in, so it’s really quick and repeatable. By the isopropyl step they’re already quite clean so the isopropyl lasts a really long time.

I’ve got the workflow down - and lots of place to hang chains in the bike workshop.

The same process works well for stripping new chains - just with the hot water step switched out for a mineral spirits bath. It’s just as quick but needs a space with good ventilation.

Heheh. A few.

But I also do my partners bikes.

Most bikes have two active chains each. That way when I do it, it’s quite some time before I have to do it again.
