  • Best practices to prevent malware while torrenting

  • MAM is myanonamouse which is a private tracker focusing on books and audiobooks. It is generally seen as one of the easier trackers to both get into and maintain your ratios on and is a good place to learn how private trackers work.

    From there it helps you get into others by having a proven track record as well as being able to get invites via the MAM forum sometimes from other users etc.

    I love the place as a lot of what I get is audiobooks anyway, it is super friendly and people will help you out as long as you have done your due diligence and aren't asking stupid questions that are covered in their already extensive documentation and forum.

  • I don't know how long you have used Strava for but for how long I used it a lot of those features you now pay for used to be standard features that came with the app. You didn't need to pay to get access to all those things and when you have been using features for literally a decade and then suddenly they are held to ransom it kind of pisses you off and makes you not want to use that shit any longer.

  • I'll be honest I haven't looked super into alternatives as of yet as I have only recently got around to dropping Garmin which was fine for me for a long time so maybe there is something out there already that fits my needs anyway :)

  • Sweet, thank for the recommendation. I will check that out when I get a chance. I think I dropped Strava before you as I don't remember that, I was just pissed off with the constant erosion of key features put behind paywalls since I had been using them since 2010 or something like that so it just became too much that things I had used for years were now gone!

  • Who, Garmin? The fact that they added a paid subscription model "Garmin Connect +" for "premium features" that is the first step in the enshittification play book and how Strava started before they slowly erodes features away and put them behind a pay wall of a "subscription service". I spent a lot of money on watches over my 15 plus years of using Garmin products and do not appreciate them adding paid subscription bullshit.

    Add on to that the fact they are an American company with no offline options I'd rather not be sending a lot of sensitive health and location settings to American servers constantly every single day. So those two factors should be reason enough for everyone to start rejecting them IMO.

  • This is cool but I dropped Strava a while ago due to their constant enshittification. As another poster said I would be super interested in something similar that allows importing data from different sources as I have just also dropped garmin for the same reasons and moved to gadgetbridge but will probably miss some of the more granular comparison abilities garmin offered.

    Good luck either way with this!

  • I feel I need to return to this thread and make a top level comment to make sure you see it but after the weekend I have had I need to update and rescind my recommendation for the Meroca tubes.

    I guess I was just really lucky with the first two that I used and gave me no issues for quite a while but at the weekend I got my first puncture, fine, these things happen. The following 2 brand new tubes I used though that I had as spares would not hold air as they leaked through the valves and consequently I had to cut my ride short and do a lot of walking.

    So I won't be using that shit again, my luck must be out now and I cannot in good conscience recommend those tubes!

  • Hmmm I dont actually know anything about the guy himself so this is all news to me, I generally consume books knowing nothing about the author behind them at all.

    Thanks for the info though, I'm gonna look into this more, at least I have never paid him any money for the books!
