Went to see it today, took it for a spin around the block and honestly felt amazing. Tip top shape, I tried that 9krpm, only got up to 6krpm but nothing rattled or made noises. The silencer had a little bit of corrosion, but at 1997 old bike, to be expected I guess. I looked everywhere I could, top bottom, and couldn't find any more corrosion if I wanted to. Pegs in perfect shape. Forks showing no rust at all, no leaks as well.

The guy told he used ACF annualy, even given the fact that the bike was kept in a dry garage, rarely driven and never in rain.

Picking it up this Tuesday!

Thanks buddy

What you say makes perfect sense. I took a 600 for a test ride today and it really felt like plenty of power.

I'm really tempted to go see this one today: https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/honda-cbr-600-f3/1476139290

It's carburator rather than fuel injector. Should that be a concern? What would look at while viewing the bike?

What about this one? 1998 CB500S https://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/honda-cb500s/1466287814

Listing description: Honda CB500s completely rebuilt by a time served motorcycle mechanic of 35 years. Runs beautifully starts first time every time. Has a few upgrades, forks have pre load adjusters and 15w oil. Fender extended on the front mudguard. Nissin front brake caliper and master cylinder from a later model, straight fit. Carbs were cleaned and an in-line fuel filter fitted. Long mot.

How is it possible that in 2008 it was 93k miles, and in 2023 5k miles

Nice one - heard a lot of good stuff about Mazda 3

I'm looking for something more sporty performing and more sporty looking though

So if I already connected it, does it mean it ruined the computer?

They are selling replacements that are rated 2A:

Coming from a person having a quarter-life crisis being just a baw hair from their 30s.

  1. You are still extremely young but don't fixate on this. Telling yourself "I'm still young and have plenty of time to do X or fix the Y" means eventually you will be too old for those things. Unless you will fall ill or there will be some age restricted obstacles, it's not true. You can learn new skills in your 20s as well as your 40s if you are determined enough. Shifting your career? No bother, I know heaps of people that did just that in their uni days as well as ones that are long into their existing career.

  2. Don't worry about this. If you fell behind the pack with your studies, means it wasn't for you. Whether it was the nature of your course, or maybe a uni in general. Going to university is not for everybody, just like doing manual labour is not for everybody. Use this opportunity to ask yourself a question, WHY did you drop out. Is it because you were too lazy? If you had true passion for it, you would find motivation to do it.

  3. No shame in that. I know people that are in their 30s and live with their parents to save money for their first home. Use this opportunity to enjoy your life without certain worries. The time to pay taxes, rent and for your food will come and you will look back fondly on this period of your life :) It would still be a good idea to chip in for utilities and food to your parents if you have means to do so. Will probably make you feel better about living there.

  4. Good. Do mistakes. You learn more from your mistakes than from the things you did right. But the important thing is to analyze WHY you made those mistakes.

  5. Maybe check if there is a career advisor near you/on your campus? They offer free advise based on what interests you. Ask yourself what are things in your life that you are passionate about or what kind of stuff do you enjoy doing. Remember, if you are passionate about something, there is a way to make it into your career. There is a reason why some people that are truly passionate about video games, they go into streaming career, and they are very successful. Me for example, I love playing video games, but I don't see myself doing for a full on career, because I want to keep it as my private hobby, and I lack certain traits to become a successful streamer (English is not my first language, I'm self conscious and I lack certain charisma).

  6. Do it. Only by trying you will learn anything about yourself. Hypothesising will only get you this far.

That's my advice :)

Me OMW to bed (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
 
 

I recently acquired a second hand DS216j with 6TB (SHR1 so only 3TB is usable). I moved all my Google Photos images and videos onto it, but now when I access it through QuickConnect it loads them really slow, the videos are constantly buffering and when they load they have a messed up framerate (really jittery). I have a 500 fibre connection and the station is connected to the router through an ethernet cable. Any idea how I could possibly fix this? Thanks

 

So I'm looking to disconnect myself from Google and their tracking (as much as possible) and I was thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. I mostly use my phone for Lemmy, Signal, NewPipe and taking photos. The last one is my biggest bother at the moment. The Google Photos environment is so convenient - I take a photo, it uploads it to my Google Photos collection, and after a while, it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup. Is there a functionality like this disconnected from Google that I would be able to implement on my GrapheneOS phone? I'm looking to invest in the Proton environment (mainly Mail and Drive) so I could use that for storage. Cheers

Backup/Cloning Software (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have two identical WD Passports 1TB external disks - one orange one yellow (crucial information :D). On one of them, I store all my data - design files, family pictures etc. Second one, I used to use as a backup. Before formatting my macos I had an app that worked like that: I would plug both of the to my macbook, after clicking a button, it would compare orange and yellow, and whatever was on orange but was missing on yellow, it would copy that file to yellow. I could set it up, that if something was missing from orange, but was on yellow, it would also delete it from yellow (or if I wanted, it would leave it there). Now, for the love of me I couldn't remeber what it was called. It was very basic looking...

Any idea what it was, or maybe a suggestion for a similar app? It was deifnitely 100% free.

EDIT: I remember that backup option were presented like this A>>B, A=B etc.
