I know a few bikers do something similar as you describe. I want to point out it is not generally accepted truth, e.g. the German ADAC explixitly teaches to keep fingers off the brake until needed. The idea being that if you're surprised by something, you're much more likely to slam the brake, introducing instability or locking up the front. You don't hover over the brake in a car either.

I very much welcome this, it would enable a smooth transition away from centralized, for-profit clients.

But am I missing something? Is this open for public? There's a questionnaire after clicking signup, and then one gets redirected to the homepage again. No emails.

The privacy policy hardly looks encouraging. The hosted version is only tempting if they'll comply with GDPR.

The service looks excellent, but the lack of any privacy notice and details about who you are made me close the tab again. Why the secrecy?

Cool changes! Any plans to ever add Linux support? That’s a dealbreaker for me. I need to backup both Linux and Windows machines. I wanted to use B2, but restic seems not ideal on Windows.

For your #2, quoting from the link:

Loads and stores are relative to the X, Y, and Z registers, which are aliases for the 16 bit register pairs starting at r26, r28, and r30 respectively (r30 is an alias for Z)

So, why is this development only? What's missing to make it production ready?

For easier setups and ludicrous pricing, I can recommend DIDlogic. Supports call groups, has incoming phone numbers in many many countries and is dirt cheap. Haven't had any issues with them either.

It's a Django project, so the command might be "syncdb" instead. If that doesn't do the trick, they'll have installed a custom management command that doesn't seem to get picked up. Grep the source code for installdb then.

The only takeaway is that his power usage shouldn't be that high with Dropbox idling/paused. But given that he's * surprised at it using a lot of power when doing the initial sync * decided to have a git repo inside Dropbox (just don't do it, you will run into trouble; and it will cause heavy sync activity, thus waking CPU and wifi) * using a unit of capacity to express power consumption

I'm not sure I trust his methods.

I regularly turn off Dropbox on and off when switching between mobile broadband and wifi, and haven't seen any difference in power consumption. That's on Ubuntu 13.04 @ Thinkpad T530.
