BYD releases 5th-generation hybrid car technology with 2,100-km range
  • Imported chinese EVs are still undercutting the European manufacturers, as much they have been lobbying to have increased import fees on the cheaper non EU EVs. The narrative is that they are heavily subsidised to the extend they cannot compete anymore, in so crippling overal in-continent EV development. Resulting in a dependence to the East.

    If I am not mistaken such import fee has just passed in Brussel, in order to protect the European market.

    In a weird way, humanity has been longing for greener automobile solutions, and now that it’s there, Europe wants to slow it down.

  • sunset inside a Castle(venia)

    I only got to know about these remarkable handhelds a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t resist getting a rg35xx h. It arrived just in time for our summer holiday family trip. Tonight we are staying in a 14th century castle in the Eiffel region, and here I am getting to know Rondo of Blood for the first time. Man, this pretty insane.

    Anyone self hosting on Mac mini M1/M2?
  • I have a Mac mini m1 and run several containers to manage media, arrs and vpn. I also have a Debian vm for homeassitant. I had used UTM prior but now moved the vm to VMware fusion.

    Main issue I run into is not enough ram as the base model only has 8gb. And I do not have redundancy optimised when I reboot. I have it locked with a password so it doesn’t auto run the containers or the vm.

    I double the mac for light browsing too. I considered getting a dedicated Linux mini pc for the services next to a desktop Mac. But my usage is too sparse at both ends of the spectrum.

  • Proton pass Q: extension auto-lock to require 2fa

    Hi, Something that I would like to achieve, to have the Proton Pass browser extension require a 2fa sign in when it is auto-locked. In Bitwarden this can be done by setting the auto lock to sign out from the extension. Right now, only a pin or password is required to sign back into your proton pass vault when it is auto locked in the extension.

    You could consider your threat models; unwaking your computer with a password and reentering your pin is a two step excercise, but i am also using proton pass on my work laptop. I would really like an additional step like my yubikey, such that i have extra reassurance for not being scoped.

    Maps
  • I was researching ridewithgps once again to see if I can justify the premium over Komoot onetime map plan. I finally thinkered around the web view of rwgps and I must admit it is very powerful already in the free functionality. I don’t think I will ever go back to Komoot, but I haven’t decided on the premium package for rwgps just yet.

  • GP5000 S TR 28mm vs GP5000 AS TR 32mm on Winspace Hyper 23 SE
  • Cheers, appreciate your input really. Like you, one spirals into the rabi thole of marginal gains (i hate that phrase) quite rapidly once you take the plunge.

    That was an interesting video, again mentioning the increased of comfort going higher. I tried spotting the wheel set they use in the video, they look like Roval CL 50 Disc Wheelset , that has internal width of 21mm and external of 30mm. Theoretically, it would mean a 30mm tire would still be flush with the rim. They also seem to be a tad heavier then me, so i am not surprised they felt the 32s gave them better comfort. I think they really should have mentioned those data points as the optimisation seems to be a function of all of those variables.

    I couldn't help myself, and did crosspost on reddit. I did receive a valuable insight that I hadn't noticed before. Many seem to stagger their tire width between the front and the rear, for example 28mm in the front and 30mm in the back. By doing that, one is trying to capture both aero gains in the front and comfort gains in the back. It is believed that the aero penalty of thicker tires is less significant in the rear as airflow has already been impacted by your bike, legs, and bottle cage. I think it is an interesting concept I will likely try it out.

    Sadly, I have the 28mm mounted already, with fresh sealant too. So I think I will first make a couple of rounds with those, and then switch the back to the 32mm. It will be a mismatch in tyre model, as the front is the more supple thinner S TR and the rear will be the sturdier AS TR. However, I think i am not that experienced to feel that difference anyway.

  • GP5000 S TR 28mm vs GP5000 AS TR 32mm on Winspace Hyper 23 SE

    Hi everyone, i hope to find any of the r/Velo geeks here as well.

    I finally got myself a nice carbon Wheelset, Lun Winspace Hyper 23 SE 40mm, it has a 21 internal width and nearly 28mm outer width. Now i am undecided which tyres to fit the set. I have the choice out of two sets that i have laying around in fairly mint conditions. The first is the conti gp5000 S TR 28mm and the second the conti gp5000 AS TR 32mm. I got the latter to fit my winter configuration, and I have enjoyed it on the Aluminum DT Swiss P1850 wheels, internal width 19mm.

    Winspace specifies the Hyper 23 SE is best matched with 25-28mm tires, following the transition from rim to tire is nearly flat, beyond the 28mm you can get a little bulp, potentially sacrificing aero benefits. Peak torque had made a very insightful video about this too where he concluded the airflow might not attached back to the rim using the wider tire. Now, i am not a racer, but i do enjoy optimising the configuration.

    Another point of consideration is the weight, it seems the S TR 28mm weighs around 280 grams, and the AS TR 32mm a full 105 grams more. That is 210 grams for a set. Around me, the area is flat as a pancake, but next month I aim to cycle the Amstel Gold 150km, that will have a more fluent course where lower weight can help me getting up the hills faster for less power. Saving me energy to help avoid being slowest in our group of friends.

    Bicyclerollingresistance has made analyses of both tires, but categorised the AS TR 32mm as a gravel tire, so i can’t make a head to head comparison on the site. They did have the AS TR 28mm in the road category to compare with the S TR 28mm. The 32mm and 35mm supposedly have a higher thread thickness compared to the smaller. Wet grip is also noted as a pro of the AS TR with a slight penalty on rolling resistance.

    Many will say 32mm is simply more comfortable then 28mm due to lower pressure they allow. I am pretty lightweight, i think the system weight will tally up to 75 kg maybe, so i am not confidant i will get my best bang of comfort over mm when going from 28mm to 32mm.

    Any opinions anyone has to share would be greatly appreciated

    Give proton pass vault access to Emergency contact

    I would love to see proton pass adopt a form of emergency access akin to Bitwarden. Have I missed it? I believe it’s crucial to have a trusted person be able to access your vault in the incident one is not able to.

    Install HAOS on Linux machine that has Debian 11 currently
  • Thank you for pointing out the obvious mistake.

    I tried the hass route instead, but can’t get it to work due to dependency issues once I try to install the supervisor package. Even though the aarch64 OS agent seems to install without issue. I’m tired of getting it to work.

    I have managed to install HASS on a Mac mini m1 through a Debian vm in UTM, that is serving its introduction purposes right now. Likely I will end up getting a home assistant Green at some point, but I don’t find the price that appealing for what it is. Or I need to shell out even more for a n100 mini pc.

  • Install HAOS on Linux machine that has Debian 11 currently

    Hi everyone. I am trying to repurpose an old Vero 4K+ that i have laying around. It is a Linux machine running Debian 11 bullseye, but I might need some help i am afraid.

    Out of the HA versions, OS seemed like the one I want, for keeping the option for add ons. I went ahead and used the Installation method on generic x86/x64 Option 2. As such i created a bootable usb through Balena Etcher on my Mac, it seems to have succeeded.

    After inserting the usb on the target device, it doesn’t let me boot from it. I read in the tutorial usually one would configure the bios on EFI and secure boot, as far as i am aware, the OSMC doesn’t have that. I assumed it would be able to boot from the USB as that is the exact way OSMC is installed.

    I am able to bring up the terminal when I press ctrl on a keyboard during the boot sequence.

    Do you think it is possible to install HA OS on the machine? I hope so, i am aiming to combine it with a Sonoff ZBdongle-E to start my journey into HA.

    What percentage length does the Topeak wear indicator measure?
  • On the first, dammit of course you are right. I measured the outer, and yes it is measures 95mm to the best of my abilities.

    Okay the 0,75-1% gives me some indication, and seems to align with thoughts on my crosspost on the Evil-Reddit too.

    Several bike websites mentioned that for 11 speed and up, one should better replace the chain when 0.5% lengthening is reached to preserve cog wear. Now I think i should take that with a grain of salt, where it likely is a conservative target. I do think i might benefit for getting a different chain wear tool with more granular indicator points.

  • What percentage length does the Topeak wear indicator measure?

    Hi all, i have this wear indicator and i am unclear what it exactly measures. I have a 11 speed chain that i am trying to measure and it almost fits. On other wear indicator tools i see they put 0.5 % / 0.75 % / 1 % annotations on it, that would have been helpful here too.

    I looked at the documentation but it is not mentioned. When i put it next to a ruler, it think the indicator length is about 89mm.

    Looking for Swedish roaster recommendations

    Hi everyone, I am on holiday in Sweden and looking for some good beans. I will be around Gothenburg area, hence we will be visiting the city one day. My research let me to gringo Nordic coffee , looks really good as far I can tell from photos but really I have no idea. If you have a got recommendations which is not that area I can also easily ship it to my vacation address. I will appreciate any tips you might have!
