Softer running surface and better/newer shoes are the usual answers. Asphalt and especially concrete are much harder than your treadmill surface so your shins are taking more shock with each strike. If you can shift some of your run to turf or natural surfaces that will help.

The other thing is to check your shoes and change them every 300-500 miles or so. A running store employee can usually watch your gait and make suggestions about the right kind of support, padding, etc for you.

It would be ideal If the big activitypub platform stacks like mastodon, Lemmy, etc could agree on some standard like a federated OIDC or DID approach for all authx/authn functions. then fediverse users could get cross-platform and even cross-instance logins “for free”

Of the changes made last week to the license, this one stands out:

  1. None of the Work may be used in any form as part, or whole, of an integration, plugin or app that integrates with Atlassian’s Confluence or Jira products.

That is a weird carve-out, so I’d guess the license revision (and technically the reason it’s no longer open source) somehow has to do with Atlassian or their plugin marketplace?

Feel like the (totally impractical) fediverse end-game would be for each individual to have their own activitypub service, and federation happening on a person-by-person basis. So you retain some control over anything you publish, and your history is yours to keep.

As others have said, changing UPS batteries is required maintenance, and I agree 18-24 months is the typical service life for even high-end UPSs. However, you may want to look into LiFePO4 based UPSs, which can handle many more charge-discharge cycles and often have 5-year warranties. More expensive and potentially not as recyclable as lead acid batteries, but maybe appropriate for your use case.

Yeah I wish they’d just transcribe their youtube videos and make blog-style posts with some of the screenshots. I’m almost never going to watch a 20-minute video, it’s not like they’d be losing a viewer.

Good suggestion! Though sometimes they’re a little too technical for me.

With AnandTech gone and TomsHardware aside, what’s another great “deep cuts” tech news and reviews site?

Are you talking about min-maxing, or like “chillin’ out, maxin’, relaxin’ &c” ?

Between this and the Bulletproof craze a few years ago we can almost get a whole breakfast in one cup!
