It's been mild but Winter is finally here in the Northeast and snow is coming.

What rides are you planning?

All BMW motorcycle dealer sales stopped except for their EV:

Following a recent quality analysis, BMW is pursuing measures to further evaluate the material used in a component of its motorcycle evaporative system, which may not have been produced to material specifications. As a result, BMW of North America is issuing a temporary, voluntary stop sale for all new and pre-owned BMW motorcycle models in dealer inventory, except for the CE 04.

I just read the specs and there is an SD slot.

Weather is promising around here. Hopefully it's good near you.

What rides are you planning?

If look you look closely, it's a little Forth-like interpreter under the covers...

I briefly used the OpenFirmware that shipped on Apple PowerPC-based Macs, CMD+OPT+O+F at boot would get you to it.

No festival at Windham this fall due to new ownership and on-going construction.

First was a Novation CAT 110/300 baud with acoustic coupler. Later I got a Practical Peripherals 1200, then a Zoom Telephonics 2400/9600. Then I bought a US Robotics Courier HST, it cost a ridiculous amount at the time. A few years later was working and I mailed it and an actual check to USR and they swapped it for a Courier vEverything (with the 20Mhz DSP). I still have that modem and a newer vEverything I salvaged.

The city will get a $21.7 million federal grant to revitalize its downtown waterfront and protect it from flooding related to climate change, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer’s office announced Thursday. The grant is the largest in Kingston’s history, according to Mayor Steve Noble.

I suspect (without proof, just a hunch) that it's load and timeouts. I've had to subscribe, wait a few seconds, reload, unsub, reload, subscribe, lather-rinse-repeat a few times to get subscriptions to lemmy.ml work from lemmy.sdf.org.

CTO coming in hot, an employee poaching lawsuit, pet dev team working in a "bunker" separate from corporate, and that no matter how well-documented and designed "Chesterton's fence" applies to back-ends so it's unlikely to be a smooth cut-over. These are all bad signs.

What's good is that you have some number of months, maybe a year, maybe more, to find your next role.

Great intro story @hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org. I'd count the Ruckus, I rode mopeds then scooters (Puch, Suzuki, Yamaha) before getting my first motorcycle, a very used Honda CB360T.

Motorcycle culture can be weird with all kinds of gatekeeping and cosplaying. The cruiser riders around here are mostly nice enough (we have a HD dealership) but there's a lot of brand hoorah along with a of lack skills and gear (also a noon 20 mile wobbly parade to a diner isn't much fun).

As someone who has played thousands of games of Shattered with >600 games just on my most recent phone (108 of those ascended) and has ascended with all the sub-classes... git gu... no, no, no, ask questions. Some of the mechanics are kind of subtle and exploiting them can take thought. I personally find the Huntress/Warden the easiest (because the spirit bow has unlimited ammo letting you sell off thrown weapons and the free seeds and dew drops can keep you alive).

I've been in the weird space of on-prem "cloud" infrastructure (mostly kubernetes) for the last seven years but I've been doing infra, middleware, and devops for more than twenty years and have my own way of working that's nearly GUI-free.

Tools I use every single day:

Less often but very useful:

  • socat a swiss army knife for sockets.
  • ansible
  • terraform

Languages, because I write my own tools:

  • Go, a lot of it and I still don't like it.
  • Python, and I tolerate it (Perl is still better for getting things done but lost mind share).
  • Rust, and I like it.
  • Elixir, and I love it.
  • Guile and Janet when nobody's looking and I don't have to share (though the Nix folks don't mind me...).

I don't have pictures of them all, but I have a few...

My first "big" bike, a 1981 Honda CB750C. I put twenty-five thousand miles on it the first year. It had an annoying habit of cooking the regulator/rectifier and I was stranded more than once. After two replacements and no money, with my uncle's advice I bodged it with a generic one for a truck and had no problems.

When my father stopped riding for health reasons I bought his 1991 Honda CB750 Nighthawk and kitted it out for touring on the cheap (remember JC Whitney?). The picture was taken at Marcus Dairy next to my friend's much more interesting Triumph.

This is my 1991 BMW R100-GSPD in flash green and black. I loved that bike but life wasn't aligned with motorcycling. I sold it after a few years when I realized I was putting more miles on it moving from one side of the garage to the other than on the road.

This is my current ride, a 2018 KTM 1090 Adventure R. It's awesome on the road and on fireroads, I'm currently running Dunlop Trailmax Missions rather than the OEM TKC80's (regardless, it's a real handful off-road and on trails for my skills and, frankly, age).

Came here to mention Endless Sky. Great game!

Don't be misled if you were a fan of the old Mac games Escape Velocity or EV:Nova, Endless Sky is inspired by/derivative of EV but is not the same and you'll (well, I did) find out the hard way that the old strategies don't carry over.

That's a name I haven't seen in a long time...
