Personally I hate them and I think they are more harm than good.

Let's do some clarification: I can appreciate the high in the sky fireworks, while I simply hate those you fire by hand in between the legs of other bystanders.

Overall I think they are dangerous and should not be freely sold, while keep doing the big ones in the sky.

But, honestly, a form of art that harms so many people and animals maybe should be banned after all.

I found way easier to setup via pip, but ofc YMMV. Note that Garmin integration is a separate container if you go that route.

It works just fine! Setting it up was relatively easy, too.

I had a few snags, but I documented everything here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services:fittrackee

So, overall its mature enough for daily usage but:

  • FitTrackee only support gpx based activities so your indoor swimming or indoor bike will not be imported
  • Garmin link seems to be working only for one user, I didn't investigate, but its not clear how to sync more than one user. Which is weird since fittrackee itself is multi-user.

I hope the devs keep up the great work and those limitations will be removed.

Man, at 55 I will be still running ironman's... Hopefully. And trails. Let's keep arthritis for the 70's, shall we?

Well, only "real" modems... Those amazing piece of crap that offloaded hardware to the windows driver where... Questionable.

And they started appearing around windows 95/98.

Ah, Linux from scratch...

Also, hardware was... Harder back then, on Linux (mostly modems).

Beside that, software wise there was less stuff on Linux than today, so you had to check carefully you had what you needed.

But I was already a Linux user, and a linux-only user at that.

I honestly like them. Those that "stay open", of course... They just stay out of the way, never get lost, and works pretty nice.

At first I disliked them, but quickly found out they are actually... Very practical. Even not considering the "green" twist, why didn't we adopted them before?

Last few years we have been booking vacations when we have big race events, to put 1 and 1 together and save money. So 1 year in advance (that's when ironmans registrations opens up).

Back when we where only traveling, usually from Feb/march for august. Go get best deals and low tickets.

We need to teach people, like in school, the basics of nutrition.

That will go a long way.

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 3 points 1 year ago

Agreed and big thumbs up for Gentoo. Our distro never gets enough love!

I want to go directly to the source, i mean, if i want to resolve, for example www.polito.it, i want to ask "it", then "polito.it"... This is what Unbound should be doing.

Instead, i can resolve it:

server /etc # dig it @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.16.48 <<>> it @127.0.0.1
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Instead i cannot resolve polito.it:

server /etc # dig polito.it @127.0.0.1

; <<>> DiG 9.16.48 <<>> polito.it @127.0.0.1

Nothing appears in the logs. It resolve fine using 8.8.8.8 as upstream DNS.

I have followed this guide, but still no way. "it" is resolved, but "polito.it" does not resolve, for example.
