My Garmin Instinct 2S Solar arrived, and it looks and feels really solid. First impression: there's nothing this thing can't do. ๐Ÿ˜‚

@kev Nice, I only heard good things about those as well. Are you still tracking your running in some way?

Living Life Without Owning A Car

Come along on a ride of how I was able to obtain my dream car in a challenging situation, but it all ended in a completely different direction.

My #blogroll is automatically generated using the OPML export from Miniflux. And it is also automatically updated whenever I add or remove a feed.

But reading this piece (https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/giving-context-to-a-blogroll/) about context on blogrolls, I wonder how I can achieve something similar?

Miniflux has no field to save context on subscriptions. Should I try to contribute that feature to Miniflux? Or should I manually craft a custom OPML file I update from time to time?

@kev interesting. Is the OPML hosted on your blog?

, does anyone own a G-Shock DW-H5600 and have opinions about it? I'm currently quite happy with the features my Fossil HR Hybrid smartwatch provides, but I absolutely love the looks of G-Shock squares. I think I'd miss those features if I got a GW-M5610. ๐Ÿค”

How does the battery hold up? Is the accuracy of the sensors really that bad? Does the exterior case fall off when you smash it too hard? There's not much information out there...

@anderseknert I can only imagine. A great portion of my time debugging was also lost to the fact that the version on MacOS doesn't wrap lines at all. I only noticed this issue when testing inside the pod on production. ๐Ÿ˜…

How the hell can such a "standard util" be so inconsistent across platforms?

@ColinTheMathmo I knew I recognized the name of the submitter. Thanks for posting this to HN. :) I really didn't think this post was "good enough" for any of the news sites, so I didn't bother submitting it.

The number of upvotes indicate that at least some people learned something from the post, and they outweigh the number of comments about the title. It's hardly possible to submit something to HN without getting any "well acktually" comments.

@ColinTheMathmo https://lobste.rs is far more open for discussion in that regard.

garritfra,
@garritfra@fosstodon.org avatar

@ColinTheMathmo I stopped submitting to lobste.rs through my own account for the time being, since they changed their terms of service to reduce self-promotion 0. I wouldn't mind if you submit it though.

Let me know if you find your login or if you need an invite.

After reading Dagon, Nyarlathotep and The Nameless City, I just finished reading The Festival by H.P. Lovecraft. It's yet another excellent story in the Cthulhu Mythos.
