I use a bike poncho, it covers the legs, too, and limits sweating because it is open underneath. Decathlon sells them for cheap, and them works. There is also normal colors, but I prefer to be absurdly visible (I want to see who says "I didn't seen him 🙂)
Every time I use it, I'm amazed I'm dry underneath (the face gets wet).
In any case, even if I don't wear it, I'm unlikely to get soaked, when rain is not that strong. We are not made of sugar!
Andare in bici quando piove è facile come camminare quando piove: basta un impermeabile.
Io uso un #poncho da #bici, copre anche le gambe e non fa sudare perché è aperto sotto. Lo vendono anche da Decathlon a poco, e funziona. C'è anche di colori normali, ma io preferisco essere assurdamente visibile (voglio vedere chi dice "non l'avevo visto 🙂)
Ogni volta che lo uso rimango stupito dal fatto che sotto sono asciutto (il viso si bagna).
In ogni caso anche se non lo indosso, difficilmente mi inzuppo, in caso di pioggia non forte. E comunque non siamo fatti di zucchero!
Well said! Good overshoes are also important in my experience! And have an eye on bike maintenance, as water brings a lot of dirt to the bearings and riding regularly in the rain requires more disassembly and regreasing 😀
Good point, I also use overshoes if I think the rain is too heavy.
I keep a cloth in the garage at home, I do a quick chain drying with it. Also I use wax on the chain, so it doesn't collect a lot of dirt. Still, when used in rain it need more maintenance, as you said
Very interesting, I wax the chains of my “hobby” bikes (gravel and road) but my commuter bike is greased: how is your experience with wax and rain, does wiping dry it enough to avoid rust? I’ve had mixed results with it, so I’m skeptical of waxing my commuter bikes chain (it could be the wax itself, though)
Be ready to be horrified: I was tired of the dirt on the chain, collected by the standard chain oil, so I thought about waxing. I looked at products available and nothing convinced me: either remove the chain and submerge it in melted wax or use some liquid product,whose quality was questionable.
I saw that people was using candle wax, and a random guy rubbing the candle on the chain and then melting it with a lighter (those where you can direct the flame). So I did exacly that with an unscented ikea candle I had a bunch of. I did that first time in May, and then again in September. I took some light rain, and usually quickly dried with a cloth when home. I don't see signs of rust, and the noise is at normal level. I'm pretty happy, but I'm aware I could destroy my chain with it, so I'm taling the risk. Even after the ride in the picture on unpaved road with rain, the chain looked "clean" and not much was left on te cleaning cloth. The same ride with oil would have collected an unthinkable quantity of dirt.
It's true, decathlon doesn't sell yellow poncho anymore, but it did some years ago.
The one I use in the picture is from TucanoUrbano. I bought it because, since I was using the poncho frequently I wanted something better quality. This one is lighter, and it fits better: tucanourbano.com/products/mant…

How are the lemmings with glasses accomplishing this? I thought ice and snow would be what makes me switch back to a car for the year, but at this rate it's going to be light rain blinding me.
One thing I liked with my folder is I could put my poncho over the hanlebars keeping both it and my hands dry. It was like I had a little tent for my bike.

Nelle vaste sale silenziose della biblioteca del complesso abbaziale di San Gallo, riccamente decorate ed affrescate nello stile di una società ormai desueta, strane brezze e strani sentimenti si aggirano nelle ore successive al tramonto.
In 2021, Google and Amazon signed a $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government, known as Project Nimbus, to provide it with advanced cloud computing and AI services — tools that were used during Israel’s two-year onslaught on the Gaza Strip. To secure the lucrative deal, Yuval Abraham revealed in a joint investigation with Local Call and the Guardian, the tech giants agreed to disregard their own terms of service and sidestep legal orders by tipping Israel off if a foreign court demands its data.
In a wide-ranging interview with NBC News, the California governor slammed the GOP-controlled Congress and the Supreme Court for bowing to Trump.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday said he’s “deeply confident” that California voters this week will approve the state’s Prop 50 ballot measure, which would allow the state to redraw congressional maps on a partisan basis ahead of next year’s midterm elections.
In a wide-ranging interview, the California governor slammed the president’s push for mid-decade redistricting efforts in Republican states across the country, accusing the president of “rigging” next year’s congressional election and warning that Trump “is not screwing around.”
“He’s changing the rules. He’s rigging the game because he knows he’ll lose if all things are equal,” Newsom told Welker. “He did not expect California to fight fire with fire.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom opened up about how he is taking on Trump and said he’s “deeply confident” that Californians will vote in favor of the state’s Prop 50 ballot measure.
i am not looking to manipulate or convince anybody, just something informative in general, like "this is the bigtech world, this is the open source / selfhosted world." any good knowledge bases, blogs, youtube channels and alike that you would recommend? the less technical, the better. it's not about "how to install this and that" but rather "what do i need this and that for, what are the advantes and what are the downsides". also, are there resources like that in your language (if you or your people are not english native speakers)?
also very interested in anything else you have to share regarding your personal selfhosting experience and how it may or may not affect those around you.
i'll start: in my own experience, there are so many other things going on in people's life, that i understand are far more important than whether their todo list is stored on their own disk or in some other part of the world. especially in the beginning, going open source / selfhosted does often feel like losing comfort, only to be left with more to take care about in return. so getting started as a non-technical person seems incredibly difficult. another thing that comes to mind is, yes i could do the selfhosting for related people and friends, and yes they would trust me with some of their data – but no i don't want that. not because i am not willing to help, but i honestly don't want to have access to their data, it just doesn't feel correct.
I think selfhosting should be as normal as owning a car and as easy as using a phone. It's because I think people should run the internet, not billionaires.
traumen.site/2025/11/welcome-e… So today’s intro was supposed to feature a big Rube Goldberg machine… until it self-destructed. 😅 But that’s kind of perfect, because chaos fits right in with this week’s tech news — where Samsung enters mixed reality, OpenAI launches a browser with ChatGPT inside, Amazon flirts with full automation, and Japan’s scientists discover a new way to… breathe.
Welcome to Tech LinkedIn, where we dive into the latest tech news shaking up the digital universe 🌐. This week, the internet went haywire — from a massive Amazon Web Services outage to leaked government data, cyberattacks, and even a toilet camera that claims to know your hydration level. Yeah… things got weird.

I'm a little out of the loop on TV's. I mainly PC game, but have a few consoles as well. My question is, what is a TV made today that just has the lowest possible input lag? I don't give a crap about quality or any of this 1440p (i?) stuff (stopped caring many years ago. I still watch VHS tapes on my CRT's). All I care about is input lag because it ruins the gaming experience for me.
Currently have a shitpile Insignia that is so bad, you can't game on it (even racing games) and it's so slow that video and audio often get out of sync on it and it needs a factory reset. It was free so i've been using it but it's just upsetting me now. I'm wiling to drop $500-800 on an enjoyable gaming TV if something like that exists for that price. Something 40" or so is just fine with me. For reference the newest console on it would be a Xbox 360. I don't play anything older than PS2 on modern TV's as CRT's are better in every way for old consoles.
Otherwise, I'll just go back to all CRT and projector TV for consoles.
We're all seeing the breathless hype surrounding the vacuous marketing term. It'll change everything! It's coming for our jobs! Some 50% of white-collar workers will be laid off!
Setting aside "and how will it do that?" as outside the scope of the topic at hand, it's a bit baffling to me how a nebulous concept prone to outright errors is an existential threat. (To be clear, I think the energy and water impacts are.)
I was having a conversation on Reddit along these lines a couple of days ago, and after seeing more news that just parrots Altman's theme-du-jour, I need a sanity check.
Something I've always found hilarious at work is someone asking if you have a calculator (I guess that dates me to the flip-phone era) ... my canned response was "what's wrong with the very large one on your desk?"
Like, automation is literally why we have these machines.
And it's worth noting that you can't automate the interesting parts of a job, as those are creative. All you can tackle is the rote, the tedious, the structured bullshit that no one wants to do in the first place.
But here's the thing: I've learned over the decades that employers don't want more efficiency. They shout it out to the shareholders, but when it comes down to the fiefdoms of directors and managers, they like inefficiency, thank you very much, as it provides tangible work for them.
"If things are running smoothly, why are we so top heavy" is not something any manager wants to hear.
Whatever the fuck passes for "AI" in common parlance can't threaten management in the same way as someone deeply familiar with the process and able to code. So it's anodyne ... not a threat to the structure. Instead of doubling efficiency via bespoke code (leading to a surplus of managers), just let a couple people go through attrition or layoffs and point to how this new tech is shifting your department's paradigm.
Without a clutch.
I've never had a coding title, but I did start out in CS (why does this feel like a Holiday Inn Express ad?), so regardless of industry, when I end up being expected to use an inefficient process, my first thought is to fixing it. And it has floored me how severe the pushback is.
I reduced a team of 10 auditors to five at an audiobook company with a week of coding in VB. A team of three placing ads to 0.75 (with two of us being me and my girlfriend) at a newspaper hub.
Same hub, clawed back 25% of my team's production time after absurd reporting requirements were implemented despite us having all the timestamps in our CMS -- the vendor charged extra to access our own data, so management decided a better idea than paying the vendor six figures, overstaff by 33% to get those sweet, sweet self-reported error-laden data!
At a trucking firm, I solved a decadelong problem with how labour-intensive receiving for trade shows was. Basically, instead of asking the client for their internal data, which had been my boss' approach, I asked how much they really needed from us, and could I simplify the forms and reports (samples provided)? Instant yes, but by boss hated the new setup because I was using Microsoft Forms to feed Excel, and then a 10-line script to generate receivers and reports, and she didn't understand any of that, so how was she sure I knew what I was doing?
You can't make this shit up.
Anyway, I think I've run far afield of my central thesis, but I think these illustrations point to a certain intransigence at the management level that will be far more pronounced than is being covered.
These folks locked in their 2.9% mortgage and don't want to rock the boat.
My point is, why would management suddenly be keen on making themselves redundant when decades of data tell us otherwise?
This form of "AI" does not subvert the dominant paradigm. And no boss wants fewer employees.
As such, who's actually going to get screwed here? The answer may surprise you.
Looking for some advice / recommendations / considerations on running OPNsense on bare metal vs virtualized, and if virtualized how best to do so.
I currently have OPNsense running bare metal on a Protectli FW6E Vault, with the following specs:
Intel i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz
120GB mSATA (1% utilization)
16GB RAM (6.5% utilization)
6 Gigabit Ethernet NIC ports
The Vault running OPNsense is the primary firewall and router, any wireless devices connect through a dumb AP running OpenWRT. Connected over Ethernet I have a RPi running HomeAssistant OS (would probably also move to virtual if that's the chosen direction) as well as a TrueNAS setup.
How much of a performance hit would be expected running in some sort of container vs the current bare metal setup? Are there any other concerns with running the main firewall / router virtually vs bare metal to take into account?
I run opnsense in proxmox for a couple reasons. 1) I can snapshot the VM prior to upgrading, in case of an issue I can just rollback. 2) backups, I can backup the whole VM, which includes all the plugins, Not just the base opnsense config. 3) I don't run anything on bare metal except my laptop.
House Republicans are exploring ways to prevent Zohran Mamdani from ever being sworn in as mayor even if he prevails in Tuesday’s election by using the Constitution’s “insurrection clause,” The Post has learned.
The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to prevent the NYC mayoral frontrunner from taking the oath of office Jan. 1 under an idea floated this summer.
It cites language in the post-Civil War 14th Amendment to the Constitution barring from office anyone who “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” or who has “given aid or comfort to the enemies.” The group argues that Mamdani’s own statements calling to resist ICE could violate the prohibition.

Republicans appear determined to destroy the Affordable Care Act, but what will go in its place? It’s a question the party has struggled to answer since the ACA passed. Remember Trump’s first term promise to “repeal and replace” Obamacare that never came to fruition?
Since the government shut down a month ago, the party has refused to publicly discuss a plan, even as ACA subsidies expire at the end of the year, forcing Americans to pay astronomically higher monthly premiums. In New Jersey, some premiums will rise by more than 175 percent. One family’s premiums will spike 300 percent. Across the board, premiums are expected to increase by an average of 26 percent for a typical ACA plan, a recent KFF analysis revealed.
The Republicans’ so-called health care plans are so secret, in fact, they won’t share them with members of their own party. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who called out House Speaker Mike Johnson last week for not disclosing the party’s plans during a GOP conference call, said during an appearance on Friday’s Real Time with Bill Maher: “Mike Johnson, for a month now, cannot give me a single policy idea.”
Quelle surprise. We don't even have concepts of a plan anymore!

Sto cercando di migrare a servizi e software (liberi e) open source il più possibile, sapete se esiste una qualche lista? Ne ho trovate alcune ma sembrano datate o piccole

A 28-year-old person in Orange County who earns $35,000 a year will see the monthly cost of the typical silver-tier plan rise from $130 to $290, according to estimates from the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation. The typical family of four with a household income of $85,000 would see their monthly cost go from $489 to $901.
These increases are happening in order to pay for Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy.
People dependent on the ACA/Obamacare marketplaces are typically less wealthy than the local median. Florida household median income by family size is: * 1 person - $65,801 * 2 people - $81,109 * 3 people - $93,983 * 4 people - $107,712
Hamas issued a strong rebuttal on Sunday to recent claims by the US Central Command regarding the alleged “looting of a humanitarian aid truck” in Gaza, describing the allegations as “baseless and fabricated.”
Hamas said the claims are being used to justify reductions in already limited aid and distract from the international community’s failure to end the siege and alleviate civilian suffering.
“No international or local organization, nor any driver involved in the convoys, has filed a complaint about such an incident,” Hamas said, adding that this proves the US scenario is fabricated to support siege policies.
Hamas also criticized US drones for failing to record the daily crimes of the Israeli Occupation

Milano diventa palcoscenico del debutto italiano di SHEIN in passerella. Con “The Urban Ritual”, il brand di moda globale celebra il suo legame con la cultura e la community italiane, trasformando il rito più iconico della vita urbana – il bar – in una metafora di incontro, libertà e autoespressione. Il fashion show ha preso vita negli spazi di Rubattino 56, location che ha fatto da cornice ad un racconto di moda e identità in cui SHEIN ha saputo fondere autenticità e modernità. Qui, un bar milanese è stato reinterpretato in chiave attuale, trasformandosi in un luogo simbolico dove la moda diventa linguaggio condiviso e quotidiano. Il concept si ispira all’idea che la moda, proprio come il bar, rappresenti uno spazio democratico e inclusivo, un punto di incontro in cui ognuno può esprimere sé stesso e sentirsi parte di una collettività. A incarnare questa visione, un cast eterogeneo e inclusivo: modelle e modelli di età, taglie e stili diversi hanno dato vita a una sfilata autentica e rappresentativa della varietà della community SHEIN, riflettendo la pluralità e l’energia delle persone che vivono e animano la città.
Protagonisti indiscussi del catwalk sono stati i cinque top brand più rappresentativi della piattaforma: - Maija, con un’anima casual e rilassata - Shein Bae che ha reinterpretato il look da ufficio in chiave contemporanea - Missguided con capi dallo spirito tailoring che fondono eleganza e carattere - Anewsta che ha portato in passerella l’ispirazione dell’italian glam - Musera, con una proposta scintillante fatta di paillettes e glitter perfetti per la stagione dei party. Cinque visioni di stile che, insieme, raccontano l’anima eclettica di SHEIN: un brand capace di abbracciare estetiche e personalità diverse, mantenendo sempre al centro la libertà di espressione individuale.
Partner ufficiale della sfilata, MIA Cosmetics ha curato i beauty look delle modelle, interpretando l’estetica “Urban Ritual” con un approccio sofisticato e naturale. Il brand, che si presenta con il payoff Your Italian Beauty, produce cosmetici di alta qualità interamente pensati e realizzati in Italia, con uno sguardo attento a diversità, inclusione e innovazione. Il team MIA ha creato look eleganti e luminosi, pensati per valorizzare l’unicità di ogni volto e riflettere l’energia autentica della città. L’intera gamma di prodotti utilizzati per realizzare i beauty look è disponibile sul sito web shein.com.
Questo fashion show rappresenta il primo capitolo del nuovo posizionamento del brand: “SHEIN for All. Your Story, Your Collection.” Un progetto pensato per valorizzare le diverse espressioni della personalità di ognuno in ogni occasione, trasformando ogni scena della vita in parte della propria storia di stile. The Urban Ritual non è solo una sfilata, ma l’inizio di una narrazione collettiva, attraverso cui il brand continuerà a dare voce alle storie della propria community, trasformando ogni esperienza in un racconto condiviso di stile, autenticità e appartenenza.

A letter signed by anti-Zionist Jews in support of British-Palestinian NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan — [url=https://www.thecanary.co/skwawkbox/2025/10/31/rahmeh-aladwan-2/]who is being persecuted by the Starmer regime and Israel lobby[/url] — has seen off a c
A letter signed by anti-Zionist Jews in support of British-Palestinian NHS doctor Rahmeh Aladwan — who is being persecuted by the Starmer regime and Israel lobby — has seen off a coordinated attempt to sabotage the letter by flooding it with fake signatures.
By yesterday, the letter, which demands protection for Dr Aladwan and an end to the campaign to criminalise her and remove her medical licence, had been signed by more than a hundred British Jews — but today a clearly automated flood of emails took the number to more than 31,000, all with similar strings of identifying characters in the email addresses:
The attempt to nobble the letter failed, however. The list’s administrators quickly replaced the fake-swamped page with a new url – and the number of real Jewish signatories supporting its demands has jumped from a 100 to more than 170.
It doesn’t take a genius to work out that the Israel lobby — rattled by the support of Jewish people for the Muslim woman it and its government poodles are hounding — is behind it; nor does it take much imagination to see where they got the idea, though they could have used a bit of self-awareness.
Earlier today the Zionists mounted an attack on the statement I circulated in support of Dr Aladwan, who is in danger of being struck off the medical register. Some 31K signatures appeared within a few hours!
As you can see, most of them were fraudulent. Even Adolf Hitler got in on the act.
I have set up a new statement as the old one, even when I’d removed the Zionist ones, was no longer operative.
If you haven’t already signed then please do so.
If you are Jewish and would like to add your signature, the new page to do so is here.
Steam on Linux use has hit an all-time high! With the Steam Survey results for October 2025 coming out this evening, Steam on Linux has finally cracked the 3% threshold! A few months back Steam on Linux was close to 3% before stumbling a bit but now it's above that elusive threshold. The only time Steam on Linux use was close to the 3% mark was when Steam on Linux initially debuted a decade ago and at that time the overall Steam user-base was much smaller than it is today. Long story short, thanks to the ongoing success of Valve's Steam Deck and other handhelds plus Steam Play (Proton) working out so well, these October numbers are the best yet.

More and more people are using this form of travel to get around the continent, using high-speed routes and a network of night trains that continues to expand. We traveled from Madrid to Prague and witnessed how the future of European transportation is clean and fast
is cleaning your son's shoes on a polstered seat or letting your co-travellers smell your used socks normal these days that people let themselves photograph doing that and it doesn't seem strange to them? and the travel bloggers didn't probably think for a second "maybe choose a different photo"?
At least in Finland, it has become surprisingly normal to keep your shoes on the train seat. For the second picture... It does say "two interrail travellers", but that could very well be because those are the only one of the three travelling together that you can see reasonably well on the picture. So, maybe the two know it's okay for the third? Also: Who took this photo, anyway?
the core topic of the article is train travel and i am discussing train travel as shown in the article; with the only person who answered. feel free to join if you wish. i was hoping to get more insight to why these people think the behaviour i am complaining about is normal or how widespread it is. do you have any?
or did you come with some guidelines on how your article should be discussed and what are permitted and forbidden topics and are here to beat everyone to adherence to these guidelines?
jesus... you came after i replied to you, ignored what i said and added the words "or trolling" like it changes anything? that is pathetic, how old are you, five?
do you live in a world where everyone hundred percent agrees with you, or they are trolling?
and how the fuck is what i wrote any controversial take? "don't be an asshole and don't clean your shoes on a seat where other people sit" is what normal children learn around the time the young kid in the picture is. unfortunately no one taught his dad, so he will continue the generational assholism and unless someone else steps in, he grows up into the asshole in picture 2.
if you are one of them, i am glad i could have been of service and explain to you that this is really not normal ;)
Your take on the top pic is absurd and contrary to both the caption and what we can see. In your world, keeping shoes on is a crime, AND taking them off is a crime, regardless of context? Really
You here to boast about the moral/olfactory/hygeine superiority of chopping one's own feet off? Do you have the slightest idea of the difficulties involved in cleaning/maintaining the interface between a stump and a prosthetic? ... or would you eagerly condemn an amputee for taking their prosthetic off or keeping it on in public as well? Get bent.
This system is getting old; nearly a decade here. Pretty soon I have to start thinking about upgrading. At a minimum, I should try and upgrade the video card when I can.
Title: Long-time iOS user considering switch to Android - Need advice on $1000 flagships
Body:
Hey everyone, I'm looking at phones around the $1000 price point and would love some input. I've been an iOS user for years but I'm seriously considering making the jump to Android this time.
Here's what I'm looking at:
iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I'm already in the ecosystem
Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation
Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I've been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)
Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I'm not sure if they have anything in this price range
For those who've made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?

iPhone 17 Pro - The safe choice since I'm already in the ecosystem
Samsung Galaxy S25 - Hearing good things about this generation
Pixel 10 Pro - Probably crossing this one off the list due to the stability issues I've been reading about (the 911 call failures, overheating problems, etc.)
Nothing Phone - The design looks really cool, but I'm not sure if they have anything in this price range
For those who've made the switch from iOS to Android (or vice versa), what would you recommend? Any major gotchas I should know about? And is the Nothing Phone even worth considering as a daily driver at this price point?

in reply to Etnaphele • • •Good point, I also use overshoes if I think the rain is too heavy.
I keep a cloth in the garage at home, I do a quick chain drying with it. Also I use wax on the chain, so it doesn't collect a lot of dirt. Still, when used in rain it need more maintenance, as you said

in reply to Etnaphele • • •Be ready to be horrified:
I was tired of the dirt on the chain, collected by the standard chain oil, so I thought about waxing.
I looked at products available and nothing convinced me: either remove the chain and submerge it in melted wax or use some liquid product,whose quality was questionable.
I saw that people was using candle wax, and a random guy rubbing the candle on the chain and then melting it with a lighter (those where you can direct the flame).
So I did exacly that with an unscented ikea candle I had a bunch of. I did that first time in May, and then again in September. I took some light rain, and usually quickly dried with a cloth when home. I don't see signs of rust, and the noise is at normal level. I'm pretty happy, but I'm aware I could destroy my chain with it, so I'm taling the risk.
Even after the ride in the picture on unpaved road with rain, the chain looked "clean" and not much was left on te cleaning cloth. The same ride with oil would have collected an unthinkable quantity of dirt.

in reply to Multiplexer • • •Yes indeed. This particular road is unpaved anyway, so I already ride slow enough that leaves are not a problem.
But in other areas they are really dangerous!

The one I use in the picture is from TucanoUrbano. I bought it because, since I was using the poncho frequently I wanted something better quality. This one is lighter, and it fits better: tucanourbano.com/products/mant…
