[01:30] <jrwren> oh man... the apt autoremove after upgrading freed like a GB
[13:43] <mrgoodcat> rick_h: i am indeed on windows
[13:43] <mrgoodcat> er macos
[13:43] <mrgoodcat> idk why i said windows
[13:45] <mrgoodcat> basically, for uninteresting reasons our test suite cannot run on macos. My solution is to use multipass to set up a headless ubuntu vm, and use visual studio code's excellent ssh remote plugin
[13:47] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  yea that's good stuff
[13:48] <mrgoodcat> my old solution was a virtualbox vm
[13:48] <mrgoodcat> this is superior in every way that matters to me
[13:48] <mrgoodcat> i need to be talked out of buying a ripmo
[13:49] <rick_h> hah I want one of the ne one
[13:49] <rick_h> ones
[13:49] <rick_h> the main stopper is I just spent $$$ on i9 27.5 rims lol
[13:49] <mrgoodcat> I have a stache right now. I'm really struggling with what to do
[13:49] <rick_h> I keep looking at my current bike and all the parts I could repurpose
[13:50] <mrgoodcat> honestly, I probably dont even need a new bike. but i _want_ a new bike
[13:50] <rick_h> always have that in there
[13:50] <rick_h> yea, the big thing is that I really prefer the hardtail for the MI trails
[13:50] <rick_h> ripmo is soo much bike
[13:50] <rick_h> but here in NC it'd be good to have a little bit more
[13:50] <rick_h> or like when I go to blue mouain (if I get to go this year)
[13:50] <rick_h> a coil ripmo would be pretty good
[13:51] <mrgoodcat> my choices are basically, 1) upgrade and keep current bike 2) get a short travel bike and probably sell current HT 3) get a longer travel bike and keep both
[13:51] <mrgoodcat> blue mountain is closed for 2020
[13:51] <rick_h> oh did they decide to just kill it?
[13:51]  * rick_h hoped to get out there later in the year but guess it was wishful thinking
[13:51] <mrgoodcat> that was what i saw. maybe it was temporary, but I seem to remember it being the full year
[13:52] <mrgoodcat> oh no looks like they're open
[13:52] <mrgoodcat> to season pass holders only
[13:53] <rick_h> gotcha
[13:53] <rick_h> anyway, keep the hard tail for MI stuff, get a bigger bike to travel with :)
[13:53] <mrgoodcat> if i go for a short travel (tallboy current front runner), i'll sell my hardtail. no reason for me to own a short travel and a 29+ HT
[13:53] <mrgoodcat> if i go long travel, i want to keep the HT for michigan riding
[13:53] <rick_h> yea
[13:54] <rick_h> so short travel the new ripley is pretty sweet
[13:54] <rick_h> or maybe a transition scout
[13:54] <rick_h> thoes are pretty well thought of
[13:54] <mrgoodcat> i haven't ridden it, but the reviews describe the ripley as "twitchy"
[13:54] <mrgoodcat> maybe its just the short travel feel. seems like all the reviewers are enduro guys
[13:55] <mrgoodcat> also theres no ibis dealer around here. i'm happy doing my own work, but if i need a warranty claim or something driving to grand rapids is a bummer
[15:44] <mrgoodcat> rick_h: just curious. if you feel like your mojo is too much for MI but not enough for NC, where do you feel like it fits just right?
[15:56] <rick_h> mrgoodcat:  bentonville lol
[15:56] <rick_h> I mean it does NC and it does Oregon and such
[15:56] <rick_h> but there's a few times on the black/harder trails I wish for more
[15:57] <rick_h> but on anything blue, easy blacks it's great
[15:57] <rick_h> I guess it's just that as I pushmy riding up I wish for a bit more on the harder stuff
[16:55] <jrwren> yay for 20.04... python 3.8 and no python2.
[17:08] <rick_h> woot woot
[17:08] <rick_h> what's a python 2?
[17:09] <jrwren> exactly
[20:16] <jrwren> this is huge. https://ubuntu.com/blog/fips-certification-ubuntu-18-04-lts
[20:16] <jrwren> congrats.
[20:24] <rick_h> wheeeee
[20:24] <rick_h> now to finish getting the UA client to use enable it easily
