Hey Fedi!

For the first time, i am going to replace a bike fork. It's the 1 1/8" MTB system.

The new fork has a 9cm longer steerer tube than the old one. I would like to use some of this to put the stem higher than it currently is.

What are the considerations when choosing where to cut the steerer tube? Can I make the bike dangerous if I leave it too long?

Advice and RTFM links both welcome. :)

#askfedi . I just downloaded #moshidon , a #mastodon client app for #android but I don't see the likes/boost count. I looked at the app behavior setting and see that both options to show boosts and replies (but no likes) have been enabled. Is there a setting on how to display likes/boost count?

EDIT: I ALREADY FOUND IT. It is "post interaction counts" on the display setting, not on behavior setting. Why it is disabled by default is something I do not understand.

Looking for book recommendations.

Been on a long nonfiction run. I'm tired of learning about stuff. Just need some fiction. Something creative, something neat, maybe adventure, maybe dystopia, maybe gangster with a heart of gold, maybe breaking the psyche, world traveller, bicycle mechanic, just about anything.

Anyone reading anything great these days?

👱🏻‍♀️ sadie – I made a couple of digital drawings of my OC, and I want to show it to fedi, but I don’t plan to release it under any licensing (quoting and sharing off-platform would be fine, as long as a link to the post they were attached to was included)

my only concern is that they do not not have a signature, and I can’t put one for personal reasons (please don’t ask why)

I do not intend to start a freelance art job accepting comissions, so would not having a signature be acceptable in this case?

boosts are welcome!

Does #Bookstodon have any recommendations for software to track your personal library? Ideally something that's not online and/or harvesting your data.

Thanks

Dear Fedi, honest question:

Is it normal to see sexually explicit photos on public Pixelfed accounts?

... asking for a friend, of course.

Thinking about getting a hard drive dedicated for the purpose of off-site backup, encrypting it, and then opening a safety deposit box at the bank and keeping it there except to update said backup.  Thoughts?  I'm on NixOS, if that matters.
