Those are some LONG and ORANGE valve stems you got there. I can imagine riding with a group of people at different fitness levels would be frustrating.

it was fine at first, but during last day everyone was quite pissed. Also the fact that slowest guy kept coming up with reasons why we need to stop. On 3rd day we were like half way though our planned ride (45/90 miles) and it was already 7pm... way too late for comfort

Stems a bit long cause those inner tubes were a gift and person that bought them had no idea what's the proper lenght. Just looks a bit silly.

I see that you also have a set ready for long distances. It's so nice to not have to ride with a backpack.

30 miles in 1 day sure is ambitious...
I mean technically if terrain is good and you hold a net pace of 3 miles/hour it should be just about doable from sunrise to sunset. For 12 mile stint you would want to take some water and food with you, have a proper lunch when you reach that city at the half way point and then go back. I never hiked such distances in a single day, it's just boring for me to walk on a flat land, and when you're somewhere hilly there's no way to maintain such pace.

Stretches and such are a really good routine, i really should get around doing some to fix up my posture.

My fitness goals? Right now, I want to be able to at least walk 20 miles without hobbling like an old man. I've got a rail-trail not far from me that connects two towns about 12 miles apart. I wanna be able to walk there and back again in one day. (30 miles with the walk home.) Hey, if the Roman Legionaries could do it in full battle dress, I should be able to do it, too, right? Other than that, I'm still doing my own cycling thing as well.

Sadly, there are too many people driving around not paying attention to the road in my part of the world. Traffic is ridiculous. So I just go out when I need to, or ride the rail-trail. Other than that, I enjoy swimming and kayaking in the lakes around here. Then I try to keep a routine of doing stretching, calisthenics, and 30 minutes on the rowing machine in the early morning. I throw my 45 pound kettle bell around for good measure. I'd like to add yoga stretching to that routine so I can get more limber. That's it for fitness. I'm also trying to get myself to properly relax away from the computer more often:

Feel free to share sports you like. Your achievements and goals for upcoming years

For me personally it's between cycling and running. Pic below is from my bike trip last month where in 4 days i rode 310 miles along the north border or the country where i live. It was a fun ride, but riding in a group with so vastly different physical ability was tiring for everyone and made a lot of beef between what we all thought was a good group of friends

With running it's a past time that's slowly becoming one of my favourite activities. It's so nice to go out on a 3-4 mile run in the evening and just stop thinking for a moment. If someone struggles with feeling overwhelmed mentally or has a brain fog, it's worth giving it a try.

As for goals. I want to get faster on my bike and try trail running. There's a competition next year i keep an eye on, 23 miles with 7200 feet elevation gain. Not aiming for a podium, but it would be nice to finish within time limit of 6 hours

It was about placing a microphone near you while you meditate and recording white noise with rtx voice filter applied. Then move that recording to audacity, up the volume and look for random crackles.

The most generous reasoning I can come up with for that method is that it's akin to ghost box recordings, listening to random noise to divine a message. I do believe in synchronicity and serendipity, but I think using tarot, or simply listening to the thoughts that stream into one's mind while meditating, would be more productive than analyzing noise in Audacity.

>Popular website got hacked because their software stack is over a decade out of date.

NGL I'm suprised they lasted that long with so many security flaws wide open for anyone to exploit. IG you also need some bravery to actually pull the trigger and do malicious things with exploits you found.

About /x/... yeee once you start reading personal blogs and small forums pretty much everything on /succugen/ seems very stupid. Think that broke me was in late 2024 when someone posted a tutorial how to hear your succ's voice during meditations. It was about placing a microphone near you while you meditate and recording white noise with rtx voice filter applied. Then move that recording to audacity, up the volume and look for random crackles. This whole thing read like a bait, but anons kept replying to it in thread where it was posted + next one. Since I read about that "method" i pretty much stopped reading those threads altogether.

Off-topic Discussion • 4chan Hack

2025-04-17T09:03:10-04:00

It turns out that everyone's favorite bastion of one-up-manship and alleged anonymity was hacked by soyjack.party. There was a time when the site had decent posts. In fact, my journey with succubi was partly initiated by a poster on /x/ from 2009. But there was a definite drop in quality once the feds took over, and that's no longer hearsay - it's all but confirmed by the hack. There's a decent breakdown here.

The one redeeming quality of the site post-2016 was the supposed freedom to say nigger and faggot, but beyond that, it was just as horribly moderated as any forum with major traffic. I spent some time running the succubus generals on /x/ back in 2021, but they soon devolved into continuous flaming. I also began to face the unfortunate reality of transgenders on the site strongly associating themselves with succubi and Lilith, essentially turning the threads into their own erotic role play outlet under the guise of being paranormal. So, I decided that 4chan definitely wasn't for me and stopped maintain the generals.

I really hope they don't try to come over here. Not that this forum is the most happening place ever, but I intend for it to be a little haven away from all that BS.

Sup !
I was looking through old chat with my friend and I found a link to a weird website. I remember that It was suggested to me by AI chatbot while I had a discussion with it about strange places on the internet. Link looks fake, but it actually works.

I'm not sure what to think of it. Very few things make sense there. There's a lot of numerology, strange images (maybe also AI generated) and pieces of text that look like religious pieces. I haven't done much digging myself, because I find this website pretty unsettling. Maybe someone here is interested in such places and can make some sense from it.

Thanks, Roperos! I need to update this list because a lot of the station addresses have gone dark or changed. I have a few more to add as well.

Small entry from me
https://radio.nowhere.moe/

There are 5 channels:
Cinema - OST from movies
Cyberia - Breakcore
Focus - Well... focus
Niilism - also self explanatory
Psychedelia - something lofi like.

For some reason by default player volume is set to 10%, you need to press arrow up to bring it up to 100%.

I think Mr. Musk is a bit delusional with his plans for transforming Twitter into the Chinese Wechat. It's kinda funny that he poses as this freedom-loving personality, but then he goes and buys the biggest social media website in the world with the goal of turning it into an even more Orwellian platform.

At any rate, the Reddit protest is basically over. There are a couple of communities that froze their subreddits and moved somewhere else, but the vast majority of the mods caved under threat of losing their special powers.

X wants to be the all in one app, on their current state I don't think it can replace reddit, discord and twitch. I feel the ones on Facebook are just normal people that doesn't want to know more and don't know very well how to browse the internet anyway, or that aren't that horny too XD
