  • Tough call. On one hand, choosing the primary sport probably makes it more likely that renderers will render some sort of icon for that sport. On the other hand, there’s the whole don’t map for renderers, prioritize capturing accurate data.

    When I’m torn, I try to find another example of what I’m mapping and see how somebody else mapped it. Look for a precedent if you will. If you’re comfortable with overpass and taginfo, those two sites can be invaluable in finding other examples to follow.

    • Dogwood Dell (Byrd Park)
    • The Diamond (after the Squirrels game)

    Hopefully the weather doesn’t mess up anyone’s plans tonight.

    Editing to clarify: Nuke that shizzle = nuke the installation device, not the backup. 😉

    >Soon the lush streets of Woodland Heights will come alive with the sounds of strings, beats, horns and songs this summer. Meet the Tiny Porch concert series, which brings neighbors out for what organizer Emily McMillen describes as “magical.” The once best-kept musical secret had its cover blown; it’s one of the most engaging musical events in RVA. > >What started as a grassroots venture has blossomed into a spectacular, highly anticipated event. When the world shut down during the pandemic, two Woodland Heights neighbors had an idea to stitch things together in the community.

    Need help routing the cable on my Shimano Deore XT front derailleur (FD-M739) [SOLVED]
  • Look on the underside of the crank housing. Is there a plastic track for the cable to go around and point up?

    I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly, but here's what the cable fixing thingie looks like with and without the bolt.

    Without the bolt, a vertical track for the cable to run through is visible left of the screw hole:

    Operate the derailleur by hand to see which way it needs to be pulled, cable pills one way, spring pulls other way.

    When I pull the derailleur to the right by hand, the cable bolt moves upward - this means it's a top pull, yeah?

    Does this all mean that just running the cable straight down to the left of the bolt (the way I have it) might actually be the correct configuration?

  • Need help routing the cable on my Shimano Deore XT front derailleur (FD-M739) [SOLVED]

    Edit: The way I had it in the photos is correct. Thanks for helping me out, those who chimed in!

    Original question:

    I replaced the straight handlebars with risers on my mountain bike, and because of the slightly longer distances involved, I have to replace the brake and gear cables with slightly longer ones.

    Unfortunately, I did not take a picture of the cable clamp for the front derailleur before I undid it. Now I'm clueless as to how to route the replacement cable - basically the same problem as this poster on RetroBike, except their derailleur is different from mine.

    I have super old parts, so I've had a hard time finding documentation online. The best documentation I've found is the following:

    In the service instructions, third column, "SIS adjustment" section, three-quarters of the way down, it says:

    • Cut off any unnecessary cable, attach an end cup, and hook it onto the pin.
    • Note: Pass the cable through as shown in the illustration.

    What is absolutely throwing me for a loop is the illustration seems to show the cable running from the bottom upward, but... how? Can anyone help me figure out what I'm missing? I feel like a dumb dumb.

  • I don’t have a specific case to recommend, but I’d suggest browsing case reviews at Gamers’ Nexus. They specifically test air flow and temps, which should matter to you since you’re not interested in water cooling (I’m the same way, btw).

    Lemmy Support @lemmy.ml yo_scottie_oh @lemmy.ml

    Why can't I see a specific post in [email protected] from lemmy.ml when the same post is visible on other instances? [SOLVED]

    EDIT: After discussing this on Matrix, I believe the answer is in the mod logs. The author of the post in question was issued a temporary ban in another community on lemmy.ml, which I suspect is affecting the display of this user’s content across all of lemmy.ml even though the post in question is in a different community from the one that issued the ban (which is kinda screwy tbh).

    Description of the problem

    The last several months, I've been trying to build up the community over at [email protected]. It's going mostly well, but one thing that has me scratching my head lately is that when I'm browsing from lemmy.ml (i.e. <https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]>), which is 99% of the time, I can't see the most recent post. Oddly enough, the author is also from lemmy.ml, and I have previously interacted w/ the same user in the comments of older posts, so I know it's not a user-specific issue. I've double checked my profile settings and haven't blocked the community, instance, or user. This issue seems specific to lemmy.ml because I can see it when I browse to the community from other instances.

    Any ideas why this could be happening and what I can do to resolve it? Thanks.

    Steps to reproduce the issue

    • Visit <https://lemmy.world/c/caps> and sort by Active or New. You'll see a post called "Thanks for the chats guys" with one comment.
    • Visit <https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]> - again, the post is visible.
    • Now head over to <https://lemmy.ml/c/[email protected]> and look at the feed.

    Actual result

    The post is not there.

    Expected result

    The post should show up in the feed.

    How to make it so frequently used sites don't constantly require 2FA? [SOLVED]

    EDIT: After reading all the responses, I’ve decided to allow cookies to persist after they close the browser, which I expect will make it so that 2FA doesn’t kick in as often, at least not on their most frequently used web sites. I may also look into privacy oriented browser extensions that might offer some protection, such as Privacy Badger. Thanks, all!

    OP: I know two factor authentication is considered more secure than just passwords, but here’s the deal: One of my family members uses Linux Mint on their laptop (at my recommendation and yes, they are aware that it’s not a Mac), and while they’ve mostly adapted to the different workflows (coming from a macbook), one of their biggest pain points is that web sites are constantly challenging them because they don’t recognize their machine. It’s frustrating to them because they used to just allow all cookies in Safari, whereas I’ve configured Firefox on their Linux laptop not to keep any cookies after the browser is closed. I know this isn’t a Linux/Firefox issue, but I think they might not see it that way and I worry they’ll get frustrated to the point that they’ll go out and splurge on a new macbook air when they already have a perfectly functional laptop with functional OS.

    Right now I’m thinking of adding their most frequently used web sites as exceptions in Firefox settings so at least those cookies would persist after closing the browser, making them easier to log into. Or maybe I’ll just allow all cookies indefinitely, although I’d rather not just throw in the towel on Big Surveillance. Is there another way to walk that line between convenience and security that I’m not thinking of? Should I just remove my tin foil hat and allow all cookies indefinitely?

    Thanks in advance for your advice.
