  @rpunkt303 were you with cargo bikes? :) Edit: checked your photos on Pixelfed, and indeed, I recognize the bikes. What a small world :)

  Coffeeneuring. First time I hear it. But finally a "challenge" that made me want to participate! https://chasingmailboxes.com/2026/10/03/coffeeneuring-challenge-2026-and-were-16-basic-in-the-best-way/ #coffeeneuring #cycling

  I've published a summary with all the Strava activities, Mastodon posts and a map of the full route of my recent cycling trip by the Adriatic coast, the Po river and Lake Garda here: https://blog.salomvary.hu/2026/10/09/adria-cycling-trip #CyclingTrip #BikePacking

  I stumbled upon Campu.eu aka. bezKempu.cz, seems like a nice alternative to large camp sites, sort of the "AirBnb for camping". Coverage mostly limited to Czechia/Slovakia, but there it seems to be decent. Has anyone tried it? https://www.campu.eu/mapa #Camping #Campu #BezKempu #Bikepacking

  One of my most memorable bird encounters was this juvenile robin at a camp site few weeks ago in Slovenia. It probably hatched and grew up there, accustomed to and not afraid of (probably fed by) humans. It visited our tent several times a day and stared at us expectantly… (and we indeed offered some oat flakes, unable to resist). #birds #robin

  I was afraid iOS 26 will be the Kiss of Death to my iPhone 13 Mini, and indeed it is. Battery life (new battery, 3 months old) is a laughable 4 hours at moderate usage, apps are lagging, some take dozens of seconds to start, sometimes end up in bizarre “should not happen” states, interactions sometimes handled after half a second to seconds of freeze :( Not sure what my next move will be, seriously considering moving into a cave. #ios #ios26 #KissOfDeath #Apple #enshittification

  Animal encounter of the day: a caterpillar dressed in high visibility fur :) #catepillar

  Goodreads has recently introduced "quarter of a star" granularity for rating books. What a terrible, half-assed UI to do that! And what a missed opportunity to do "fifth of a star" instead, and visualize it by filling the five points of the star separately... #Goodreads #UI #UX

  Sure, sunrise pics are cliché but I almost never get to see it over the true horizon, so here is one. Sorry notsorry. #Sunrise

  I was wondering why we did not get any hosting requests on #Warmshowers all summer, while we normally get at least 1-2 inquiries every week in peak season. When I signed in today, I realized Warmshowers got a drastic redesign, and I had to get though a password reset an re-onboarding process. Which makes me wonder if they screwed up and inactivated all accounts in the new system until everyone signed in the first time :D Would not surprise me tbh. #BikePacking

  Are these AI generated posters/ads/billboards the modern equivalent of using Comic Sans and MS Office clipart pictures in Word for the same purpose? (Pics from different nearby venues and events in Nagymaros, Hungary.) #AI #AIGenerated #Slop #ComicSans #VisualHorror

  So I bought this fancy camping pot with heat exchanger hoping to speed up cooking in small quantities. I was suspicious seeing the spot welding on the exchanger so I made a test at home to compare how much faster it boils 250ml water, compared to a basic steel cup with tinfoil lid, using my Esbit stove. Results were underwhelming: basic steel cup beat fancy cup by 10 seconds (5 min 20s vs 5 min 30). #camping #Firemaple

  Starting a cycling vacation today with my favorite person ❤️ Because the only way to convince her to do this was to include a “warm sea” we are riding EuroVelo 8 from Trieste towards Venice, and beyond for 3 weeks. Today taking a train to Ljubljana. #BikePacking #EuroVelo #EuroVelo8

  Took a lot of patience to succeed at watching a movie that I foolishly did not download in advance in Apple TV. Seems like the folks in Cupertino can’t afford to test their shit on non-highspeed connection. There were more bugs surfacing in the UI than features. Ps. go watch Arrival, it’s a good movie. #AppleTV #Apple #DesignedInCalifornia #movies

  Had a minor #WildCamping incident last night: a fox stole the trash bag from the covered entrance of my tent, and as a revenge for chasing it away (I got woken up by the noise), it chewed through the plastic straps of two hiking poles we left outside :D

  Today was the last hot day of this awful summer. It was hot as fuck and we did not have a significant (as in not evaporated in a few hours) rain since May. Also no thunderstorms at all. And they say this it the mildest summer of all the remaining summers I get to see… #LastDaysOfSummer #heat #drought

  As it is one of the very few plants still blossoming in the wild around us after 3 months of no rain, I transplanted a few yarrows to our garden. I hope they will thrive here next summer! “Normal” people consider it as weed… #gardening #drought #yarrow #cickafark #Schafgarbe

  Speaking of #gardening, I was about to free up roughly a square meter of ground to plant wildflower seeds for next year, but had to give up because the soil is so dry and hard as rock. The holes for the three small yarrows took 15 minutes of hard work. I hope it will get soaked enough in autumn before it gets frozen… #drought

  It took me quite a few attempts to set up a minimal Git over HTTP server, mainly because Apache HTTP Server is a beast and my httpd.conf skills are rusty, but here is a Docker compose.yml if someone ever needs this: https://gist.github.com/salomvary/17f9c0fb01733c84f33edd882aae88a3 #Git #Apache #Httpd #Docker

  Autumn crocus season in ON. 🌷 They’d look even prettier in front of a green backdrop, but that’s not what we have after this record breaking hot and dry summer :( #AutumnCrocus #plants #flowers

  Dandelions decided for a late blossoming 🌼 Which made me think about growing them indoors for spring vibes on dark winter days. Would that work? #dandelion

  People with a green lawn like this after a near-zero-rain summer should be publicly shamed. #lawn #drought #ClimateChange

  I really hope the EU will soon force the hands of the railway companies to get their shit together and come up with reasonable ways to book international train tickets. I took me almost 2 hours to realize there is no way for me to find a reasonable route to get to the French Mediterranean coast by train, taking bikes from Hungary. #EUrail #Trains #EU
