You're going from a monolithic die CPU to a standard chiplet config. Whilst your current profile doesn't sound too demanding, I think the IMC behaviour here will be quite different.

You may have to gear slightly or tweak your primary timings a little.

*With the exception of APUs. I believe 3800+ (even 4000) is fairly achievable on Cezanne

Adaway was what I used prior to ublock origin on Firefox. The network access toggles can be found directly in ROMs like Calyx Grapene, Lineage, Divest, though I'm not sure if they're widely seen elsewhere.

I know the process you're referring you WRT gadgetbridge. I used to do the same thing until I switched to a pinetime.

I'm not familiar with permission manager X. Does that deviate from the android permissions framework in some way?

Can you tell me more about the hardware tweaks?

they're trying to ensure an acceptable UX with their browser.

I suppose the root of the issue is developers specifically targeting and testing on chrome.

I don't understand how this would make Firefox look bad unless you're pointing at the dire browser share situation.

it do be that way :(

Manifest v3? I gather they're already moving towards this but not in a manner which harms ad blocking

[–] vikingtons 2 points 2 days ago

very welcome. Hope it helps. I try to do everything I've mentioned before bed (along with a handful of others), though ideally I'd me doing them more often than that.

[–] vikingtons 7 points 2 days ago

okay cool but what are you specifically using system or systemless root for now?

I figure some body weight exercises to help strengthen and stabilise your core muscles could help.

Look up the McGill big 3 stretches and try doing variations of the plank to see if it helps neutralise your posture over time

If your lower back muscles are tight, baby pose or knees-to-chest might help ease that off.

Your posterior chain muscles will kind of compensate for each other; if you sit a lot (I.e. at a desk job), your hamstrings will tighten over time, which can lead to sore knees and a stiff back.

Static and dynamic stretches for your hamstrings are great. I generally for for a standing stretch with one leg raised to a platform at hip level and hold / gently lean into it for 30s each side.

Glute bridge is also a good way to activate muscles that can become somewhat dormant behind a desk.

out of interest, what use cases do you have in mind that require root access?

I used to use a root based solution to block ads system wide via hosts but now I just use ublock origin in Firefox.

Their latest microcode update from 7 days ago was declared as final. Time will tell about the efficacy of the most recent fixes.

Unfortunately it may only be available via board partners as beta BIOS updates at present.

Hey there,

This is an extremely minor quirk with how the image lightbox (apologies if I'm using web specific terms) behaves when a post image is selected from the feed and put into full screen mode.

On devices with on-screen nav and expanded status bar areas (camera hole design concession), the lightbox will show end to end with the UI controls overlayed.

If you tap once on the image to hide the UI elements, the status bar area is filled, whereas the nav area still shows as expected, though the image appears to resize slightly in response to the change in viewport. Wondering if this was intentional?

Truly the most P4 item I could think of but was curious.

E: fixed in 0.0.75 - thank you MV :)

Hey there,

I was wondering if anybody else was experiencing this behavior where the swipe to navigate back gesture would register twice within the app, taking you back two steps instead of just one.

I'm not sure exactly when this behaviour was introduced, though it persists with today's .72 alpha release. I was to say it came about in the .6X timeframe.

I've not found this reported on the github, though I just wanted to check that this isn't a system specific issue before submitting. #1399 may be relevant as it refers to swipe input sensitivity but I think that's more of a gesture threshold matter than input registering twice in the app.

My app settings are attached in a photo:

and I have a short clip:

Steps to reproduce:

  • Using the provided gesture settings in Jerboa
  • From the home feed, tap into a community name
  • From the community view, tap into a community post
  • Swipe left to navigate back to the community view
  • Observe two steps back in response to a single input

Got back home, took my top off and was surprised to see this little guy clinging onto the back.

Took em out into the backyard and let them slowly crawl onto one of my plants. Not sure what kind of caterpillar this is but I think they were okay with their new spot.

You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.

Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?

A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I've never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).

I've recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?

 

Apologies if this has already been posted; sometimes my client apps have trouble fetching older submissions.

(Managed to sort out embedded images, had to compress them first)

Welcome to my shitty, dusty garage gym.

Practically all of my kit is from Mirafit and Fitness Superstore (UK). Primarily focused on weightlifting & bodybuilding.

Power rack:

Mirafit M100 Half Power Rack with Cable System.

It's served me well over the last three years but I'm honestly surprised it hasn't fallen apart. It's no longer up for sale through Mirafit or third party retailers, and I can see why. Mirafit use OEM designs and stick their name on it. If you see a half power rack like mine, maybe stay away from it:

The M100 half rack has a lower weight capacity (200KG) than the full M100 (250KG) due to its design. You'll observe a concerning sway with three or more plates a side. It has miraculously survived 180 KG back squats and rack pulls though it's definitely not something I could wholeheartedly endorse as a power rack alone. I went for a half rack at the time due to spatial constraints i.e. not having to delicately manoeuvrer a barbell in the confined garage space I have available.

It did come with some bells and whistles, notably the plate-loaded cable / pulley system (with a couple attachments) and incline bench. Power racks with integrated cable systems can be exceptionally versatile provided you have the gear to supplement them:

  • Lying ham curl with a chain, ankle straps and an incline bench:

  • Seated leg extension with a chain, ankle straps and squat box:

  • Cable pull-down if you have a crossbar to keep you in place:

Made some minor alterations to the rack:

  • Cut away some metal on the lower pulley housing preventing the lower cable from moving freely
  • Cut the wide bar cable attachment to actually fit within the confines of the rack (it was actually too wide before?!)
  • Picked up some after-market J-hooks to supplement the included barbell holders
  • Plate storage system (though it's in-line with the barbell(?!); if you don't walk the bar back enough, you'll hit it when you squat):

I've gotten a tremendous amount of utility of this package as a whole, though it's let down by the overall flimsiness of the rack. If anyone could recommend a newer, sturdier half rack + cable system, I'd love to hear about it. Mirafit's newer half-rack designs (or whichever OEM they use) are much better, but tend to lack the pulley system option.

Incline Bench:

Mirafit M150

Decent enough incline bench with a small footprint. Has a total weight total capacity of 260KG and is fairly affordable on its own. The design of this bench makes it somewhat unsuitable for barbell hip thrust from the side, as it has only three 'feet', but generally feels stable for most other exercises.

Barbell:

Mirafit M3 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (28mm diameter, fine knurl, sprung steel) Lovely bar, no complaints. Generally chalk up for deadlift but it's a pleasure to use either way.

Bodypower 7ft 20kg Olympic Barbell (30mm diameter, coarse knurl) Was a decent bar with a very coarse knurl. Would shred you up but it did its job. I've since handed this over to my cousin.

350KG in plates, bunch of quick release collars

Flooring: ARK Solid Black Rubber Mat CK (With Hidden Handles) X 4 (12mm thick) This was an afterthought and I deeply regret not having them to begin with. Please ensure you have appropriate flooring for your weights area.

Other stuff:

  • Olympic dubmmell handles
  • Mirafit Squat box
  • Spinlock and fixed dumbell pairs
  • fuck knows how much in standard (1" diam) plates
  • Dumbbell & barbell storage / stands
  • Additional cable attachments (handles, bars, ropes)
  • Chain belt for dips and chin ups
  • Some old speakers in the corner

I feel like I'm mostly covered but have made some substitutions. I do more working sets of squat in lieu of a plate-loaded leg press and a few exercises to cover the lack of a hack squat machine, but I haven't been back to a commercial gym since.

Welcome to Home Gym (self.homegym)

Hey there,

I wanted to recreate something like Reddit's /r/homegym community over here on Lemmy.

It became one of my favourite spots during the lockdown. Despite the price gouging and supply issues, it was amazing to see people's creativity when it came to fitness at home:

  • We learned effective bodyweight exercises to keep us strong after the gyms shut down (like piston squat, nordic ham curl)
  • We built power racks out of whatever we had, capable of holding a good couple hundred KGs on a barbell (some excellent woodwork in general)
  • We improvised equipment and exercises with every day objects (a bunch of jerry cans and rebar for extra tricky front squat)
  • We got to understand how much you could get done in a modest space with just the essentials

A decent home gym can be surprisingly attainable today, particularly with people shifting their own kit now that commercial gyms have reopened.

Let's see what you're working with.

I'm not sure if I'll have enough availability to moderate a community. If anyone would like to take it off my hands, you're more than welcome to.
