  • It’s two penny-farthings welded together back-to-back. It’s a freakbike for doing stunt-riding, which is still way closer to stuff like mountain biking and bmx than it is to ‘normal’ utility or road cycling.

    And yes, he also owns a couple of Bromptons and has made the very occasional video on urban cycling. But that doesn’t make him the best channel for it. I’m not throwing shade on the guy; I’m just saying it’s just not his focus.

    (He also doesn’t cover stuff like, say, pro cycling or MAMIL-style road cycling. I hesitate to mention GCN 'cause I think I’d get flamed if I called them the “best” at anything, but they definitely cover those topics more than Seth does.)











  • Ripping out all of these GRUB features would basically mandate that most Ubuntu 26.10+ installations are done with the /boot partition being done on a raw EXT4 partition. Thus no more encrypted boot partition and having to rely on an EXT4 boot partition even if you are a diehard Btrfs / XFS / OpenZFS fan. Or you could opt for the non-signed GRUB bootloader that would be more full-featured albeit lacking Secure Boot and security compliance.

    Reducing the signed GRUB builds to the minimum support necessary they feel would “[substantially] improve security”. Users wanting those features back could use the non-signed GRUB builds albeit losing out on UEFI Secure Boot and security support.

    How the Hell is any of that supposed to “improve” security? Something is fishy here.
