It's a bright tail light with multiple lighting modes (steady high/medium/low, day/night flashing, and "group ride" pulsing) that also features a rear-facing radar. When connected to the Bryton Gardia app[1] on my phone (or an ANT+ compatible cycling computer), it generates audible and visual alerts for approaching vehicles. The light also briefly switches to a rapidly-flashing pattern to get the driver's attention.

I was a little concerned about needing to use a companion app from a company I'd never heard of and was expecting to have to create an account and fight to lock down permissions. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the app requires no login or setup. It just launches straight to the pairing menu, and once connected, you're free to get on the road. The app didn't ask for a bunch of unnecessary permissions, and while it does have the location permission in the manifest, it hasn't asked me to enable that.

I've ridden about 100 miles with the Gardia R300L now, and I'm very impressed with it. The light is bright and visible, and the battery lasts long enough that I only need to charge it once a week (and could probably get away with once every two weeks). The app is simple and does what it does very well. The radar has enough range to alert me to approaching vehicles typically 5-10 seconds before I could hear them, which is plenty of time to make sure I'm squeezed over to the side of the road. I like that I can cruise with the gentle pulsing light mode to avoid blinding or distracting other cyclists while knowing that it will auto-switch to an attention-getting pattern when a car is approaching. The light also switches to a steady brake light mode when the onboard accelerometer detects that I'm braking.

It's a very gently used 2016 Specialized Crosstrail Disc[1]. Like my previous steed, it's a hybrid bike that will be reasonably adept on the roads, paved multi-use paths, and dirt/gravel trails near my home. Compared to the Verve, the Crosstrail brings a more forward-leaning posture, an extra gear, and a suspension fork that can be easily locked for smooth roads or unlocked to absorb impacts on rougher terrain.

I'm trying to find a kickstand that will fit the bike's peculiar frame; pre-2016 Crosstrails had an integrated rear kickstand mount, but that was removed for some reason. I don't know why the ability to park a bike without having to carefully balance it against a wall seems like such an afterthought.

SeaSucker says they've tested this setup at up to 140mph so hopefully it'll do the trick for ~50mph trips across town.

### runtimeterror Tweaks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I found some code from Luke Harris[1] (and an accompanying blog post[2] to configure Hugo to dynamically build a `robots.txt` file from the Dark Visitors[3] API. I really liked that idea since I honestly can't keep up with all the sketchy scrapers and will forget to update the file on my own. So I replaced my previous setup[4] with Luke's dynamic approach.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I also swapped out the recentfm widget[1] in the sidebar for some cobbled-together JavaScript[2] to pull the latest "pinned" track from my Now Playing Musicthread[3]. I like the idea of sharing a track that's stuck with me rather than just whatever happened to be played last.
|
||||||
|
- And I tinkered a bit with the Typo[4] implementation which "types" (with randomized jitter, typos, and self-corrections) the randomly-selected taglines/errors at the top of the sidebar. I had noticed that sometimes mistakes made near the end of the phrase didn't get corrected; I altered it[5] so that it wouldn't insert typos in the last 3 characters.

### In Other News...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I updated my /uses page[1] to swap the Garmin fenix 7 in for the Pixel Watch 2 I was using previously, and to switch to ControlD from NextDNS now that it's officially supported[2] by Tailscale.

- We went to see Deadpool & Wolverine last night, and it was such a fun film. I was cackling basically the whole time - much to my wife's annoyance.

- I'm back on my Golang learning, currently working through a deep dive on functions and such.

As I mentioned [last week](/this-week-2024-06-29/), I recently started shifting more of my morning bike routes off the multi-use paths and onto public roadways. I ride early enough that there's not much traffic (honestly, the paths are more crowded than the roads), and I stick to wide residential roads with good visibility and plenty of room for vehicles to easily get around me. I wear bright colors and adorn my bike with front and rear lights.

It's a bright tail light with multiple lighting modes (steady high/medium/low, day/night flashing, and "group ride" pulsing) that also features a rear-facing radar. When connected to the [Bryton Gardia app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brytonsport.gardia) on my phone (or an ANT+ compatible cycling computer), it generates audible and visual alerts for approaching vehicles. The light also briefly switches to a rapidly-flashing pattern to get the driver's attention.

I was a little concerned about needing to use a companion app from a company I'd never heard of and was expecting to have to create an account and fight to lock down permissions. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the app requires no login or setup. It just launches straight to the pairing menu, and once connected, you're free to get on the road. The app didn't ask for a bunch of unnecessary permissions, and while it does have the location permission in the manifest, it hasn't asked me to enable that.

I've ridden about 100 miles with the Gardia R300L now, and I'm very impressed with it. The light is bright and visible, and the battery lasts long enough that I only need to charge it once a week (and could probably get away with once every two weeks). The app is simple and does what it does very well. The radar has enough range to alert me to approaching vehicles typically 5-10 seconds before I could hear them, which is plenty of time to make sure I'm squeezed over to the side of the road. I like that I can cruise with the gentle pulsing light mode to avoid blinding or distracting other cyclists while knowing that it will auto-switch to an attention-getting pattern when a car is approaching. The light also switches to a steady brake light mode when the onboard accelerometer detects that I'm braking.

Like my previous steed, it's a hybrid bike that will be reasonably adept on the roads, paved multi-use paths, and dirt/gravel trails near my home. Compared to the Verve, the Crosstrail brings a more forward-leaning posture, an extra gear, and a suspension fork that can be easily locked for smooth roads or unlocked to absorb impacts on rougher terrain.

It attaches with powerful vacuum cups... which seems wild, but it feels pretty sturdy. SeaSucker says they've tested this setup at up to 140mph so hopefully it'll do the trick for ~50mph trips across town. (And now I won't have to steal my wife's station wagon whenever I need to transport the bike.)

As promised last week, I followed up [a length post on how to use Packer to build VM templates on Promox](https://runtimeterror.dev/building-proxmox-templates-packer/) with another deep-dive on [automating the template builds with GitHub Actions](https://runtimeterror.dev/automate-packer-builds-github-actions/). That second post went a lot more quickly than the first, which was a relief - I wasn't really prepared to sit on it for another ~6 weeks.

I've been using that GitHub Actions setup to build fresh templates in my homelab every week, and it feels great to finally have the whole setup documented.

### New Posts!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I saw A Day To Remember in Nashville, and it was [a show to remember](/a-concert-to-remember/).
|
||||||
|
- I played a bit with [Tailscale's new(ish) Taildrive feature](https://runtimeterror.dev/taking-taildrive-testdrive/).
|
||||||
|
- And I purchased [yet another new domain](/new-domain/) - surprise, you're looking at it! 🎉
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### runtimeterror Tweaks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I found [some code from Luke Harris](https://github.com/lkhrs/hugo-dark-visitors) (and an accompanying [blog post](https://www.lkhrs.com/blog/2024/darkvisitors-hugo/) to configure Hugo to dynamically build a `robots.txt` file from the [Dark Visitors](https://darkvisitors.com/) API. I really liked that idea since I honestly can't keep up with all the sketchy scrapers and will forget to update the file on my own. So I replaced my [previous setup](https://runtimeterror.dev/blocking-ai-crawlers/) with Luke's dynamic approach.
|
||||||
|
- I also swapped out the [recentfm widget](https://recentfm.rknight.me/) in the sidebar for some [cobbled-together JavaScript](https://github.com/jbowdre/runtimeterror/blob/main/assets/js/theme-song.js) to pull the latest "pinned" track from my [Now Playing Musicthread](https://musicthread.app/thread/2aVjZUocjk96LELFbV5JvJjm14v). I like the idea of sharing a track that's stuck with me rather than just whatever happened to be played last.
|
||||||
|
- And I tinkered a bit with the [Typo](https://neatnik.net/typo/) implementation which "types" (with randomized jitter, typos, and self-corrections) the randomly-selected taglines/errors at the top of the sidebar. I had noticed that sometimes mistakes made near the end of the phrase didn't get corrected; I [altered it](https://github.com/jbowdre/runtimeterror/blob/main/assets/js/typo.js) so that it wouldn't insert typos in the last 3 characters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### In Other News...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- I updated my [/uses page](/uses/) to swap the Garmin fenix 7 in for the Pixel Watch 2 I was using previously, and to switch to ControlD from NextDNS now that it's [officially supported](https://tailscale.com/blog/controld) by Tailscale.
|
||||||
|
- We went to see Deadpool & Wolverine last night, and it was such a fun film. I was cackling basically the whole time - much to my wife's annoyance.
|
||||||
|
- I'm back on my Golang learning, currently working through a deep dive on functions and such.
