I'm thinking of buying a CO2 cartridge bike pump to take with me on trips. I'm looking for opinions, I don't have any experience with them. Thanks!

@stfn Don't not bring your minipump if you're going on a long trip. You don't want to end up popping a tube and then being stuck without enough air to finish your trip. Yes you can bring multiple cartridges, but CO2 can pass through the valve a lot easier compared to regular air so you'll end up with a flat in the morning anyway

@robryk @stfn I can't remember all the science but something about the differences in permeability and size of the molecule, as well as the thermal properties between the two

I find it odd that it's difficult to find light bulbs for home use higher than 1500 lumens. As well I find it weird that 800 lumens seems to be the standard.

Like, I need more LIGHT when I'm working.

Any tips? Checked two local hardware stores already

    I just got an error from GitHub saying my ssh key is already in use, that it can't be added... but there are no keys in my GitHub account at the moment

    Anyone know why?

    Halifax is gorgeous! If you ever get the chance, you should go :)

    Bonus: Me making an "as you wish" Princess Bride reference while making the ugliest face possible pretending to fall down the hill.

    Halifax boardwalk and harbour where three boats are docked. Two are trawler fishing boats, the Lady Melissa, and the Fundy Monarch, and the third seems to be a yacht.
    A high-up perspective of one of the main roads that leads from the Halifax citadel all the way down to the harbour. There is fog up high and tall building are being obscured by it. Immediately in the foreground are traffic lights and an intersection.
    Me making one of the ugliest faces as I fake falling down a green hill at the Halifax citadel. The weather is foggy.

    Rode home in the rain with a beautiful thunderstorm off in the distance. Unfortunately no video but here's a photo of the impending storm:

    Some photos from my visit to Kinderdijk today! It was quite the bike ride to get there but all in a day’s work it was more than worth it!

    I took the waterbus back to Erasmusburg though, I was starting to feel a little under the weather

    Dutch windmill. The whole thing with the building and the blades towers waaay above you
    The windmill from earlier but further and from across the dike
    A long view down one of the dikes with fog obstructing the view of some of the windmills in the distance

    I have visited this art gallery many times, but this is the first time I have tried hanging out at the gallery cafe.

    It's a dramatic looking space with a very strange crowd. 🤔

    @kai 88 million if someone is willing to pay that much. Just like NFTs, art pieces can go down in value if the seller doesn't have the fortitude to wait for the right buyer

    @kai This is like having a blank canvas and calling it art

    brandon,
    @brandon@fosstodon.org avatar

    @kai I don't like this place. It feels too exposed and very lifeless. It's the opposite of what the dutch would call gezillig (meaning a combination of warm, intimate, cozy, and pleasant vibes)

    I think I'm gonna make a bot that posts terms of service snippets where the ToS fucks the consumer.

    Example from the Playstation Network ToS: Use of the terms "own," "ownership", "purchase," "sale," "sold," "sell," "rent" or "buy" in this Agreement or in connection with PSN Content does not mean or imply any transfer of ownership of any content, data or software or any intellectual property rights from SIE, its affiliates or its licensors to any user or third party.

    Don't save photos of your personal ID on your work laptop, for fuck's sake. You don't know what kind of person might have access to the data there.

    I'm not saying to be inherently distrustful of your IT folks but damn you never know. And this is coming from an IT guy!

    @altstore Is Apple willing to work with you guys on fixing this?

    TIL Skeleton Coast. This place looks fascinating and if I had the opportunity to visit I would drop everything.
