Add storage via good USB hub or use a multi-bay storage box later on. The have built-in hubs. E.g. Terramaster or OWC Mercury Elite Pro.

For the highest possible resource utilization and security support beyond Apple’s, you could try [installing Linux](https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/MacBookPro/Early-2015-13-inch] and using Docker containers for everything. You should be able to run quite a few services.

The next best option resource-wise is to run a large Linux VM and docker containers inside it. The Docker for Mac setup does exactly that. This is how we solved running a complex and resource hungry tech stack locally for development at a past workplace.

Then come running services in multiple VMs.

That’s because it’s in a land down under.

I’m running a container,

Yeah, I have a Panaracer Pasela PT and Gravel King on the same Mavic A719s, both tires are 38-622, one measures 37.5mm, the other 36mm. Pretty close to the spec unlike CST’s innuendo. When I picked up the bike, I thought the manufacturer put the wrong tire on. 😂

Interesting. In my anecdata they match within a couple of mm. I have two bikes with Panaracer currently, one has Pasela PT, the other one is Gravel King, both 38-622. One measures 37.5mm, the other 36mm. That said I’ve only ridden relatively narrow tires over the last decade 25-40mm so it’s possible that the accuracy is higher in that range.

In any case X-Y with numbers like this really look like an ETRTO marking which according to the few tire manufacturers I’ve checked is how they size tires. Along with the traditional inch size conversion.

Even CST themselves correlate inch size to ETRTO size within 1-2mm.

What is it if not tire size?

Yeah it’s weird they didn’t mark the mm size to match, e.g. 35-451.

This is surprising. Are you sure of that? I’ve always understood the first number to be the tire width and that has matched many tires I’ve used over the years, from Maxxis, Panaracer, Schwalbe, Conti, Vittoria, and others. This is also true according to Michelin:

ETRTO (EUROPEAN TIRE AND RIM TECHNICAL ORGANIZATION) SIZES are given for all tires. In this example: 32 x 590, the first number (32) is the tire width in millimeters. The second number (590) is the tire diameter in millimeters. This chart shows the conversions for all the sizes.

Schwalbe agrees:

The ETRTO size specification 37-622 indicates the width of 37 mm and the tire inner diameter of 622 mm. This dimension is clear and allows a precise classification of the rim size.

And on the traditional inch marking:

The inch marking (e.g. 28 x 1.40) states the approximate outer diameter (28 inches) and the tire width (1.40 inches).

Even if you go by the traditional designation of 20 x 1 3/8 on the CST, the width should be about 35mm (1 3/8" ~= 35mm).

Of course any of the width dimensions are approximate depending on inflation and exact tire model but they’ve always matched within a couple of mm in my experience. 7mm differences is shocking to me.

To my understanding the diameter is bead diameter, not the outer tire diameter, which matches the rim. And then for width-to-rim compatibility, there are ranges where a range of ETRTO widths fits a range of rim widths, like this.

Greater Torontario Area 😄

Growing up in one of those neighbourhoods in Eastern Europe was absolutely incredible. It was one of the few bright spots of living a tough childhood during the economic collapse brought by economic shock therapy in the 90s. Tons of neighbour kids to make friends and play with. Kindergarten and school in walking distance. Green spaces all over the place. Most kids walked by themselves to school till the end of middle school. Then we went to high school by free or cheap public transit. Going from that to the GTA was shocking, even though the GTA is not even close to the worst planned North American metropolitan area.

Does this mean that over 30 voted for the ban?

If they used the money hose on us it’d be great!

To a point subject to the real resource limits we have, but I’m pretty sure you knew that. 😊

Okay. Yeah that makes sense and in that case hosting on the Fediverse out of the UK would probably unblock it for a long time. If the blocking is not trivial - like one person adding a URL to a list - then they’d have to prioritize and they’d likely be going over bigger fish like international porn sites and such for a long time before they reach communities on the Fediverse that may or may not be self-designated NSFW. If they’re on Reddit on the other hand, they get voluntarily blocked by the platform itself in the UK almost certainly without direction from Ofcom.

Sure but that means they have to have a mechanism, legal and material to execute this. There must be an gov’t institution that looks for and designates sites to be blocked. Then they have to have legal power to compel UK ISPs to block those lists. Are these things part of this law? I haven’t read enough.

This isn’t a currency issue. The processes driving this have been observed in 19-century Britain under a gold standard. For me it took looking into how firms decide what to produce, how to produce it and what to do with the profits in order to build a better picture on what’s happening. This Talk at Google was a good starting point for me.

Yes, got a Cyclami from Ali. It’s very well made and I’ve been uaing it for inflation and topping up my tires for three months now.

Whaddaya mean? A non-UK instance doesn’t have to comply with UK law if it doesn’t operate as an entity in the UK and so it won’t require the face ID for UK visitors. So long as the instance is okay with hosting this content, it would let UK visitors view it. For example, I don’t think the UK has authority or mechanism to ask a Brazil-based instance to do this.

Not sure if you’re aware but we’ve had electric buses and trains for well over half a century. We don’t need them to carry long range batteries. We have them in Europe and even in some places in North America. Batteries haven’t been needed for electrifying public transit for a very long time. In fact some of the first public transit was electric. Some places just choose the cheapest upfront option instead of spending a bit more on infrastructure in order to realize environmental and efficiency benefits.

As for planes, yes probably. Although I’m not sure whether there’s a viable route to electric planes that goes through batteries or whether that use case would necessitate synthetic fuel.

Sounds like it’s time for those subreddits to find new homes on non-UK instances of Lemmy.

That and the increased road wear which grows exponentially (with the fourth power of axle weight) with the weight of the vehicle. That means a 2 ton car does 16 times more road damage than a 1 ton car. And before someone takes this to mean I prefer to not have EVs on the road, NO, I mean that this is a fact and we have to deal with it somehow while eliminating ICE. For example by making lower range EVs more attractive, since they already are acceptable in practice for a large proportion of road users. Going from ICE cars to ICE trucks, a common trend, is even worse in this regard since it adds significant emissions on top.
