  • I'm not sure if you're agreeing with me, but the whole reason to lock the rear wheel (as opposed to the front wheel) is specifically to avoid this problem. By locking through the rear wheel inside the rear triangle of the frame, you lock up both the wheel and the frame at once.

    This is why bike racks designed to lock the front wheel are stupid.

  • Likewise between Nepal and India

  • Thoughts on this?

  • Please dont just post screenshots of text. Post a link to the content.

  • Wait so do people actually try to slip loonies into strippers' thongs? How does that work?

  • It depends on velocity

  • Doesn't look like that rack is bolted into the ground. I usually flip it upside down and drag it some place inconvenient to let the store owners know that their bike rack provides no security if it can just be picked-up by a theif with the bike.

  • Pretty gross rack design tho. Should just be a bunch of pipes bent into a large U-shape cemented into the ground on both ends.

    You're supposed to lock the rear wheel with a u-bolt, not the front wheel.

    Also not all bikes are shaped the same, and once you put a weeks worth of groceries on them that front wheel is popping out of that shitty slot and you're crushing the guy next to you

  • No way been biking to get groceries for decades. You just need the right luggage. Personally I have a folder with a low rack so a 70L trekking pack with an aluminum frame works great. Before that I used the 4 kitty litter panniers. But easiest is probably just a cargo bike

  • WOAH NOW, that yellow trailer is definitely going to get swiped by a car tho

  • This sort of thing happens dragnet. And mullvad users are definitely a group to be targeted. Dont assume OP isnt a refugee or journalist and give them bad advice that could get them killed

  • Humans bred lots of species into existence. We inbred to optimize economic output, and many of them suffer greatly because of it

  • That's why you download the key from multiple distinct domains from multiple distinct locations using multiple distinct devices and veryify their fingerprints match. If the key/fingerprint is only available on one domain, open a bug report with the maintainer.

  • No, you're confusing two vectors of attack. I'm saying that if you fan trust the vendor, then you're still at risk from downloading malicious software that was manipulated between the vendor and you (man in the middle attack), unless you verified a signature using a key stores offline (note https is still vulnerable because the keys are stored online)

  • Yeah and animals ag has caused many of those areas to turn into deserts. You're right we've been doing it tens of thousands if years, and look at where we are now.

    I'm not aguing that we kill all wild animals. Bison and deer are fine (sheep and goats are chicken and cows are not). I'm arguing that we need to stop all human-bred animals that are unnatural species and causing immense damage to the planet.

  • Https is vulnerable to loads of attack. That's why we sign packages.

  • Of course it matters.We dont want to support or contribute content to a service that could go down one day and all the data is lost because we can't fork it.

  • Homebrew is extremely insecure. It doesn't verify package signatures, so its just as bad as the "just donloaf some sketchy untrusted binary off a website" approach

  • You might want to say why or you'll get downvoted. Spoiler: its not safe and this is how you get malicious software on your computer

  • ChatGPT is garbage in garbage out. It'll probably tell you to curl a file off the internet and pipe it to bash as root.
