Can you explain this to me better?

I need to work on my data storage solution, and I knew about bit rot but thought the only solution was something like a zfs pool.

How do I go about manually detecting bit rot? Assuming I had perfect backups to replace the rotted files.

Is a zfs pool really that inefficient space wise?

My hammock has a built in bug net 🤷‍♂️

Here is my setup last weekend:

Here's another angle, with the rain fly extended:

I was quite comfortable to be honest. But tents are fine, I still own a tent, and depending on where I'm camping or how much I'm glamping, I'll bring the tent, and maybe even toss in an air mattress. I'm flexible 😁

That's fair lol

Love my hammock. Trying to get the wife to like it, but her first experience was suboptimal. Gonna try again next summer.

I didn't even realize the bridge was out until we walked past it haha. Technically, if you wanna break the rules, you can still cross it, it just has no railings. We didn't, we didn't need to. We parked on the MRT side, near Sarah's falls. But later we hiked out for a beer run, and reparked by the dam, there's a little bit of parking there.

We did significantly less actual hiking than normal, we were waiting for a 4th who never came, so we stayed put. We found a good camp, set up shop, and stayed there for two nights.

This past spring though, we did the whole loop over 2 nights, that was pretty fun.

The cold wasn't too bad honestly! A couple of base layers, a puffy, and a warm fire was all we needed. Besides bedding 🤷‍♂️

I almost didn't even use my hand warmers. But we had a coon sniffing around camp at 3am, and I got cold running around shooing him away.

National Forest, yes. The river trail 👍

Thanks!

Curious as well

It's actually because of wind resistance, the air is moving the same speed as the ground when the earth turns so you don't feel it.

(don't @ me I'm just following what I recognized to be a humorous pattern of technically correct "well actually"s)

Thanks for reminding me! Maybe I'll have pancakes for dinner tonight 😅

Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?

Anywho, here you go my guy:

Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here's a link.

Did the same thing. Easy peasy

Nope, made it scarier.

Also bad is when the big flakes are coming down heavy, flying over your windshield, lit up by your headlights. It's like your flying at light speed, hard to see the road

Don't need to go to China for this. Back when Michigan had real winters, less than a decade ago, this was a regular occurrence.

Asking the real questions

Small high power flashlight, about the size of a tube of m&ms. People laugh at it all the time, but it comes in handy weekly, sometimes daily.

Think of how many times you pull out your credit cell phone light. Now imagine being able to light up a room like daylight if need be. Very useful.

Those same people who laugh, eventually realize the value, and come asking for my light when we're together and it's needed

I keep a pair of those loop ones in my backpack for the same reason

Well, also no. I mean, I do, and so do many of my friends. But many people rely on all seasons. It's... Not the best plan. But a lot of people do it.

This is us basically. Though we're pretty busy, so we usually try to cook 2 maybe 3 meals a week, and eat the leftovers on the days in between.

Don't get me wrong, we cook good stuff, we just purposely make a lot. I'm not going through all that effort for one tiny meal, unless it makes sense to do so, like we won't be home for meal times or something so it would go bad.

But we keep some premix stuff around, and I have a few fast but not so healthy scratch recipes I can whip up in a jiffy. That's usually us on Tuesday nights.

I've got one where I literally just throw rice, chix broth, frozen precooked (by me) chicken, frozen mixed veggies, and garlic/other spices into a rice cooker. That way I can just slap it together, jump in the shower, and eat quick before leaving again. Sometimes life is just that way.

Tell me more.

I'd like to make these pancakes you describe. I'm assuming you melt the butter first before mixing it in? Roughly how much milk is a good starting point?

I used to make Bisquick pancakes all the time, and recently changed to a name brand just add water kind because I tried it for camping once and realized it tastes just as good as the Bisquick, or good enough. I'm assuming that's because Bisquick pancakes are also not actually that good, based on others in this thread.

I like convenience, but I also like good food. I'm gonna make both and do a blind taste test with the wife.
