question: would it be possible/smart to have a system where the entity that is authenticating you has a way to disclose to you the maximum password complexity that it can handle ? Something like a GeekCode string that you can feed to your password generator and come out with a the strongest password possibly handled by the system ?
Yeah, actually, that would work fine. But the people who maintain the login pages don't update their complexity rules right half the time, so the geekcode would go out of date quickly, and you'd end up spitting out invalid passwords, and people would stop using it
One advantage to using the square food-service buckets as panniers is that you can also use them as stools to sit on when they're off the bike, try that with your fancy Ortliebs! They are kind of bulky though, I have generally preferred to stick with the coated fabric commercial panniers (Arkel these days, though I have a couple pairs of beat-up Ortliebs which I have patched up with Sugru).
My anatomy evidently favors Type-II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers for cycling, so large cross-sections kill me in general. I can't spin through the kilometers in low gears like some can. So aerodynamics is more of a concern for me (and others with similar anatomy). The jugs in TFA are lower profile than kitty litter buckets or other square things. However, tailwinds could make up for the drag on good days!
If you are really loading up a bit, cross-section is pretty much impossible to avoid. The trick is to get comfortable with going a snails pace into a headwind, and enjoy the free ride with a tailwind...
Loaded touring really is about taking in the sights around you. You aren't moving fast.
One thing I would add, if carrying any substantial load, make ure you understand how your bike handles it. Your normal road bike isn't necessarily built to carry the rider plus extra weight/etc around the wheels.
My favorite parts of touring are the descents. Heavy bike go zoom. I take in the sights I just take in more of them in less time. Of course stopping when it makes sense.
A few months ago it developed engine trouble where the RPMs randomly increased and decreased – so much so that the engine would often just stop when the car slowed down. Not fun on a roundabout or making a right-hand turn – across a lane (driving on the left in Ireland).
The Haynes manual detailed a procedure where I could turn on the engine and connect two terminals of the diagnostic connector (OBD-I) with a thin wire. The engine light would then flash morse code patterns corresponding to various faults that (as listed in the Haynes manual). From this, I was able to tell that the problem was the “airflow meter circuit” and the issue was resolved by replacing the throttle body with that of a similar vintage.
or you can dual boot using to a different installation of macOS or Linux using an external hard drive. I definitely do not advocate using the same installation provided by the university since it will be monitored.
seriously ? I have experienced the opposite. Got a TREKZ Titanium as leave-behind from my son. I love them. This Black Friday I got some OpenRun and had to return them as they did not sound just as good. what a mistery
