I asked about my disk hydraulic brakes on a local bike forum and turns out that my stock brakes are bad and cheap.

Now i switched to BB7. Setup was interesting. Lets see how it goes.

@mcscx it is a long way to go. And i am already tired :)

I am so tired of the fact that i don't understand stuff around me. I can't read the signs around me, can't ask for something specific as i could in my home country. It takes so much energy to just order food in a restaurant or specify which ice cream you want.

Going through another round of relocation/immigration depression

Patiently waiting for the tech bubble to collapse to see people getting back to open standards and tools

That feel when started implementing a feature in Teeworlds mod and found that it is already implemented, but not documented at all

Why is ssh-keys-like authentication not a thing today? It doesn't take much infrastructure to do it. We already have x.509 and friends. Also given how many users are on mobile, and how much control Android/iPhone has over the phones, it should not be hard.

laptops are so expensive

Teeworlds is great. I play it for ~9 years and it is still awesome. And FOSS.

@tom gybes are great indeed

Someone stole front lights from my bike. Fuck you, lights stealing asshole.

- Listen, Harry, you're a wizard!

Aaand i am late for the train back to my village.

Berlin is boring. Architecture here is usual. Checkpoint Charlie is so touristy. East side gallery exists only for 1 picture.

The only interesting thing is Soviet architecture combined with traditional German one. Panelki (panel houses, typical soviet buildings) next to old churches. Super cool. But even some interesting pieces of Soviet architecture are in bad condition, for example, in Potsdam.

Well, Techical Museum was fun.

Any fun stuff to do in Berlin this weekend?

@Jo @CobaltVelvet to get a free email? :)

The most interesting thing in immigration is lack of understanding of value of money.

How much value is in 10€? In Russia if bread costs 5€, it should be a very good bread. For 0.5€, it will probably be bad. And i know what else i can get for the 5€. In Germany, i just give SOME money to get SOMETHING. Change € to beads and colored glasses, and i won't tell the difference.

Bike brakes got blocked because of weather probably. Had to walk to work.

I am definitely replacing these stupid disk brakes with v-brakes.
