  • I didn’t know those existed… but I kinda hate that they do. Can the Garmin radar delete a car that’s about to hit me?

    But really, for $300+ it should also photograph the license plate of the car that hits you and automatically SOS when it detects an impact.

    I mean, doesn’t that sound like a ridiculous product that shouldn’t need to exist?

    I disagree with the premise that it’s the responsibility of the cyclist or pedestrian to avoid being murdered by a 2-ton vehicle. Having something like the Garmin radar on your bicycle seems like yet another thing that would make it EASIER for a driver to argue that it’s the cyclist’s fault in an accident, right? “They had a radar, it’s not my fault they were in my way!” Just like the “it’s their fault they’re dead because they weren’t wearing a helmet!” Argument.

    In the worst timeline I could see a municipality trying to require these on ebikes for “safety” while in effect making non-equipped bikes illegal to ride. Which would be great for the car companies.





  • They also expand your storage every year, so it’s not like it’s stuck there forever. For reference, I’ve been on Proton for about 3 years now (paid plan) and I have a data storage cap of 540GB and I’ve never had to buy more. Also, I all my emails so far only consume 340MB - so even on the free plan I’d still have years to go before I reached even 5GB.

    (Also, I’ll admit I don’t email much.)


  • Greetings!

    Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I’ve been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.

    Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.
