The size, performance and comfort are all great. The tech works well enough for me. I wouldn't call it snappy but it is acceptable. Visibility is good, the rear hatch opens very quickly, seats are comfortable though I miss my cooled/ventilated seats.
The little things I'd change-
The transition from regen to friction brakes at 3mph is not always smooth depending on your driving style. 1 pedal mode makes it seamless but once you feel it, you can't un-feel it.
Dial gear selector is meh, but way better than the stalk- changed for 2025
Published range is at 55 or 60 mph. I get 2.5 mi/kwh on the interstate keeping up with traffic. In town of course you can double that, but it's a tiny fraction of my consumption. Not actually an issue in my use case but worth mentioning that the published 280 miles is really 230. And you won't find a charger at exactly 0% so plan on 200.
No mechanical key for when the 12v dies. Goofy procedure for when it does.
Pointlessly complicated rear door latch.
The electronic hand brake abomination was the shark jump for me
Pretty quick? 0-60 in 3.3 and an 11.8 quarter mile is faster than the Dark Horse halo model GT.
So one bot changed another bots mind?
The LFP curve is very flat- you have to charge to 100% once a month to keep it calibrated. Of course it will be fine without, but your range estimate will be even less accurate than normal.
When I'm not yelling at clouds, I like Tsunami Bomb
I used slackware, btw
I launch it and get the changelog pop up. It's always a fix for little things I've noticed. Things I'd never think about otherwise, but I read the bullet points and see how they could happen and it clicks.
Is zfs required for security footage?
Wait, their butt is at 60 degrees like a hexagon?!
I want to add one to the upstairs master bedroom, since it's the only room occupied most of the time. But my unit was a 2006 model so I put those funds towards a variable speed condenser, furnace, and EXV coil. And the wife didn't want a visible head in the bedroom.
Those multizone systems can get unwieldy on retrofits. Find a good clean installation and chase that installer down.
Multi-stage equipment helps a ton. I hate how people tack mini-splits on their homes like AutoZone hood scoops, but their dehumidifier function is awesome in the shoulder seasons.
The 2nd paragraph is my problem- they can use the public chargers, but the public can't use theirs. They say they're opening it up, but it hasn't happened yet and they're only doing it because their plan failed.
Here's a better article on elliptic curves

I had a pair of foxes raise a litter of kits under my garden shed. They were so cute and fun to watch!
Well they left me with fleas. I had to seal off the foundation of the shed, cut holes in the floor, and drop some nasty pesticides (phosgene) under, and seal it back up.
My beef with Rivian is one I shared with Tesla- their chargers are closed to other brands. That's a mask-off move in my opinion. It's a business decision, not a technical one.
My experience- the difference is enforcement. In the US anyway, the town isn't going to tow cars parked illegally in the neighborhood or cite someone for their junked up yard.
The headline wasn't clear on who is teaching and who is learning. Had a good laugh imagining Ukrainian drone pilots rolling their eyes at a Danish instructor.
where are all the 30< mower decks >42
Hurricane Helene crushed my 38" mower, and it just barely fit in the bed of my 93 Ranger. My options now are the dumpy looking disposable 30" riders, a 42" that won't fit in the truck, or a push mower that I'm too lazy to walk behind. I've decided that a single blade larger than 30" must be impractical because the spindles can't handle the Mandingo of a blade, and dual blades smaller than 42" total must be too many RPMs to hit target tip speed.
Insurance is paying for it, but I want something that fits in the truck. Any ideas?

Put it down!

travel routers
So I've seen the TP-Link and GL.inet travel routers, and it looks like some of the GLs are/were built to run wrt firmwares. Stock TP firmwares have been pretty full features in my experience. I really want USB-C power. The GL wireguard support looks useful too, but it looks like their newer stuff is proprietary? Another want, not need, is 5 GHz band.
Does anyone have a favorite model or another board that can be flashed?

Caddy subdomain reverse proxy performance
I'd asked about using a VPS to get better routing to my homelab in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/1424540
I've narrowed down my problem- if i use a subdomain in my caddyfile, performance is 1/3 or worse compared to just the root.
example.com {reverse_proxy 192.168.1.57}
will saturate my gigabit lan connection at 980ish. On a 5gUW connection i get my advertised 50 mbit or more
librespeed.example.com {reverse_proxy 192.168.1.57}
I get 220-250 megabits on my internal lan. The same 5gUW connection will only get 7 or 8 mbit.
It's strange to me that everything seems to work just fine, but it's just slow. Anyone got any ideas?

improving homelab upload performance- VPS proxy?
I've got 1000/50 service from a mid-size ISP. It's pretty consistent- any time I run a speed test from home, it will hit those numbers. I have an opnsense plugin checking twice a day.
Performance from my self-hosted services to the internet, however, is very inconsistent. Sometimes I get the full 50, sometimes it will only hit 5 Mbit/s.
Is it possible a VPS proxy could provide less congested routes? Is there a better way to troubleshoot the bottleneck? When i notice a slowdown, usually watching a clip on frigate, I'll use a public speedtest to check my field connection. If it's over 50 down, I'll check librespeed on my server. If frigate or plex is fast, librespeed will be too. If I've noticed a problem, librespeed has always agreed.
My host machine is a 5700g w/ 64 gigs of ram, X520 nic to an S33 modem, so I don't think it's a hardware bottleneck.
