I was talking about Austria. Some of those signs are municipality, some are nation, some are union, and some might be privately funded.

But yeah, it's a mess, and most of the signs are a real eye sore.

In addition to what has been said before, you can just turn the wahoo off mid tracking and it will restore the route on powering on. Takes a few minutes though. That's what my Roam v1 does, anyway.

Follow the EV13 further north! The Bavarian/Bohemian border region is really awesome (mostly the Czech side). Prepare for a lot of climbing through magical forests.

I think I might need to go back at some point.

I think you're supposed to go left.

For real, this happens because no single entity designs and maintains the bike infrastructure, but multiple. That's federalism for you; nothing to be done about it. 🙄

According to Varoufakis, Europe missed the bus on cloud capital (=big cloud platforms like amazon, meta, twitter,...) and the race is currently playing out between US and China.

Don't forget a flyback diode at the inductive load or your transistor will bacon at midnight.

It's going to be powerful by every imperial, too.

Love the Sensorwatch project and I've been wearing the lite for half a year now, but I wonder what's going on with the Github project. There seems to be really high community engagement and interest, with over 50 open PRs, but not much happening at all. There are good improvements and fixes in the PRs, too.

I think your heart is in the right place, but I wonder how you feel about tools and their quality vs. cost.

There are many easily made arguments to pay extra for quality, as you pay less in the long run, which is an idiom ("cheap tools you always buy twice") but also very true in most cases. Then what about paying extra for ergonomics, reducing strain on your body and preserving health?

And then there's the question where the line is between a hammer and a table tennis racquet.

Again, I think your heart is in the right place. There are few things more ridiculous, I feel, than absolute beginners of a sport in full brand gear from head to toe, even the stuff nobody who really practices the sport won't actually use. But then you've been playing table tennis for a few years. How much is your current gear holding you back? True it takes a lot of effort to learn about what you like and need, but it definitely pays off. Why don't you borrow a racquet from one of the other players once in a while for a match to get a feel for what you like?

This file compresses so well. 🤏

Terrible opsec sharing your WiFi SSID, by the way. I can't find one right now, but I've seen global "wardriving" maps of all broadcast WiFi SSIDs that allow to pinpoint a somewhat unique SSID or at least narrow down to a few options. A list of SSIDs around you pretty much gives away your precise location.
