How does it compare to the SkyMap app? I've been using that one for years, and am happy with it.

A bit of unfortunate wording there. :) I had to go back and reread it slowly in order to understand what you meant.

No, the article definitely could not be written for any country in the world, because it lists concrete actions, numbers for past few years, and concrete plans for next few years.

But judging from your comments here and elsewhere in the thread, you do not care about discussion, and will move goalposts whenever it suits you. You are not a nice person. So, PLONK.

Well, that's a bald-faced lie. Maybe if we were only talking about Lithuania, which does import big chunk of its energy budget from Sweden, but Estonia and Latvia generate most of their energy on their own - and according to the linked article, plan to generate even more in near future.

If I understand it correctly, they were confident a while ago already that they could return safely, but they're taking advantage of the situation to do some tests and experiments to learn more about the failure.

(If you disagree, go yell at Scott Manley, I heard it in one of his recent videos.)

FWIW, Baltic countries are going hard for solar, see https://lemmy.world/post/17098210

Being nervous and tense is normal. I get it all the time before a race, even after having started in many races, often even before shorter just-for-fun races. When the starting signal sounds, the nervousness immediately falls away, and your head will get into it, don't worry. :)

An experiment should be opt-in, not opt-out.

All through the same network, I'm afraid. I haven't felt the need to separate it like that, although it should be doable using docker networks, or maybe on even lower level, via Linux network namespaces.

Alright, so it can do some direct syncs via Garmin API, I didn't know that. Last time I checked, only manually uploading your gpx files was possible.

Neat, I'll definitely set this up. Dockerized, of course, my little server already has lot of services on it, got to keep things neatly separated. :)

Done! 30km, little over 3 hours, and the brain is drowning in serotonin. :)

I still hate the activity summary screen. The old design, with some basic numbers in the three circles in the middle beneath the map, looked great, had better information density, and looked unique. The new one looks bland and generic, and has oodles of wasted blank space.

It saddens me that somebody over at Garmin got actually paid designing that.

Going for a long slow run tomorrow morning, after missing such run last weekend, because we had a 35C heat wave here then.

Zone 2 mostly, some zone 3 because I am too undisciplined. :)

So, what do you think of the Garmin intergration? I have had Fittrackee in my sights for a good while now, and the only thimg holding me back from trying it is that I donk know how painful (or painless) the activity upload/sync from my Garmin watch will be.

I just use my own custom built docker images and have a few aliases set up for different "instances", e.g. one for banking, one for tis eshop, one for that eshop, etc. Each with its own firefox data dir and own downloads subfolder. Plus an alias to launch a temporary clean instance that gets discarded after it exits.

But at latitudes 55 to 60, days are really very short in midwinter, so wind and waste wood are the likely candidates in future - after oil shale leaves the scene, but before synthetic gas becomes feasible.

I was wondering exactly this - the Baltic countries are quite far to the north, so the feasibility of solar energy must be bordering on questionable there. Thank you.

My solution is to use slightly smaller sock sizes, so that they are always stretched tightly around my foot, and there is minimum movement between the sock and my skin.

But also, correct shoe for your foot shape, so that everything is tight and snug in there, instead of moving all around - especially around toes, but also the heel.

I typically only get tiny blisters on longer runs - that's 40km or more for me. But that happens regardless of whether my feet get drenched or not. Of course, everyone's feet are different, so you have to find what works for you. :)

I agree as well, running through creeks, puddles, or even melting snow sludge without a care can be so liberating and enjoyable.

Or like last week, I went for a run shortly after a rain, and parts of my chosen route were through tall grass and bushes which obscured the path to knee height. My legs had to push through the growth, and all the water on the stalks ended on my knees and shins, leaked down towards the socks and eventually into the shoe. Within five minutes, my feet were as wet as if I had dipped them under water directly, making wet sounds with every step. No waterproof shoe design would be able to protect against that! :)

Years ago, I read somewhere that professional trail runners, when choosing shoes, do not look at how waterproof they are, but rather how well the water flows out of them.

Then I suggest adding https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/ to your mix of news sources. Sometimes we need to balance out all the click-seeking negative-only news sources.

The language choice was because Ladybird started as a component of SerenityOS, which is also written in C++. With this separation, they are free to gradually introduce other language(s) into the codebase, and maybe eventually replace C++ entirely, piece by piece.

In Hackernews thread about this, the head maintainer mentioned that they have been evaluating several languages already, so we'll see what the future brings.

In the meantime, let's try to be mature about it, what do you say?
