A spontaneous bike tour

Published on in 💬 Micro

This morning I was in a bit of a bad mood and got the idea that I needed to do some exercise again. I had taken a break for a week due to a cold. I also wanted to get out a bit because the weather was good. Then it was a spontaneous but perfect decision to go for a bike ride again.

There’s a big river nearby and another town about 30 km downstream, but there are regular trains from there. So I cycled the 30 km downstream at quite a fast pace on my non-electric city bike. I then took the train back.

It was definitely fun and a mood boost!

I had Tor support in GoBlog for over three years now, but I decided to disable it on my blog (and the GoBlog blog) for now. Several times, Tor randomly started using a lot of memory on my VPS and even crashed my block one or two times. It could have been the Go library used to integrate Tor, or something else in the Tor code itself, I don’t know.

I think I’ll leave the Tor support in the code for people who want to use GoBlog with it, but I, personally, won’t use it anymore. It was a nice experiment, but I don’t think it adds any real value.

More memory for my new GoToSocial instance. 😄 (which isn’t using a lot of memory, though)
