  • You may be surprised but a private (self-hosted) torrent tracker is how I did this when I had crappy internet and had to send over a bunch of pictures and video to family.

    You can encrypt the data before sending, although it still should be fairly safe, speeds don’t matter much, there’s no storage to pay for or risk leaking.
















  • I don’t use turn signals when driving around a roundabout unless I’m exiting because I’m not psychotic.

    But seriously, they are for signifying intent, not blinking idly, and they should be used plenty.

    I put a turn signal on when I back into my underground parking spot when I’m literally the only person down there. Force of habit that I’m totally cool with.


  • Summer was unbearably hot, and I decided to commute via a bus with AC instead of a bike, but in september I started using a bike and didn’t stop unless there was pouring or there was snow on the ground.

    I even in mild rain I just took my bike. First winter season I used a bike at all, not to mention riding in a full face cover, leather or ski gloves with a ski jacket.

    I also researched some motorbike rain pants but we’re in a decade long drought, so far didn’t need them.

    One thing tho. If it’s raining you better have disk breaks, the clampy ones just slip on wet wheels. I had to re-learn how to stop safely.
