BananaFlip

:)

Thanks for encouraging my enthusiasm, I too think it’s gorgeous (and supposed to arrive today, yay)!

Yeah, I’m sure that’s a change, but these fancy mellow dancer kicks on a compact board like this definitely have their charm for me. In general this board looks pretty fun and chill, hope it meets your expectations.

180 pivots were my first trick too, and, as a relatively slow learner, I was that proud, when I finally got to make them consistent at 180 degree.

After long back and forth, I decided to play safe and went with the Switch Muskrat (deck only).

I own one of their earlier cruiser boards (2018 maybe? A friend from Poland gave it to me back then) already, so no doubt here about quality, and above all, durability.

Usually riding shorter and more skinny boards myself, I’m still a bit intimated by its size though. Your “I think that the Chinchiller’s length will make grab tricks like tiger claw or aeroflip harder to perform than with a longer board” is my “how should I be able to pop a tank like this more than 1cm high, let alone flip it?” But in the end, I’m quite positive both of us will adapt to our shiny new toys. Hopefully.

Yes, I’ll make sure to leave a review here after I got some time with it (now, if only GLS could hurry up a bit…).

Sweet, I dig the specs of the chinchiller, how do you like it for freestyle in particular?

I just ordered my very first freestyle longboard (this was solely skateboard terrain for me up to now) today and I’m beyond exited - but also more than skeptical about my ability to transfer my already dubious skill set to a board of much bigger size, but well, I digress…

This won’t work as expected, I don’t think?

Unless you installed the developer edition, which uses a separate profile/path, both of your installs will use the ~/.mozilla directory, so configs and profile of your new install will interfere with the ESR version.

(and why did you symlink /opt/firefox/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox? The desktop file already takes care of recognition)

Not quite. Snowflake, just like every other bridge, is one step before. Broadly speaking, blocked user connects to snowflake-proxy –> snowflake-proxy forwards blocked user’s traffic to an entry node. And that’s about it.

sounds like it turns your computer into a tor exit node?

Not at all. Snowflake belongs to the family of pluggable transports, and offers a connection to an entry node in the Tor Network. Just like a traditional bridge, with the advantage that the higher number of individual, constantly moving IP’s makes blocking them by oppressive regimes more difficult.

It uses WebRTC to disguise the traffic as a real time peer to peer communication, like video/voice call.

Edit: Thinking about this, I might be wrong here, and it will just add their front page to your “subscribed” feed, maybe give it a try anyways and report the results.
