Ah great! and thank you for your kind words.
infra, for now, is relatively cheap. Eventually i hope the community will contribute to maintain the website. Moderation will be interesting, hopefully partial automated, partially by the community, partially my own time.
it is truly my intend to keep it ad free and true platform for the cycling fans.
I registered a non-profit company to make sure those believes are captured and part of the website.
the daily digests on the "HUBS" section are already in English, and you can sign-up for automatic message (per e-mail or push notification). I'm considering translating all news headlines into English using AI. working on that.
And yes, proper live races would be great with content from people along side the road as well. Currently i think sporza.be is best in this (live race report), but it is all in Dutch.
Thank you for your feedback!
I’m building a non profit cycling website, perhaps you are interested:
https://cyclohub.ccIt is still in the early stages. i want to gather news from across all channels and make a place for cycling fans, without all the ads.
Also check out my dad’s biography at https://championwillpower.com
Great to see cyclist fans on here!

doesn't seem to be available in the Dutch app-store.
i've been using a rather 'rare' two letter tld for my e-mail address since forever. besides the typical autocomplete in forms to suggest to change it to a more common tld, it seems to work quite well for me. People also don't seem to have an issue remembering the tld as it seems to match closely with the common tld used within my country, but distinctive enough to not forget. .party as tld might not be the best idea of course, considering you might want to be taken seriously in your future e-mailing endeavors.

So, why can they publish it now? His death doesn’t nullify the agreement, does it?

it was shell-scripting (bash). And i'm not sure, but it i think i was mandrake linux distro. It was quite the work to get ISDN working properly, especially to use two lines at a time (one dialing, while the other one was in use).
Got ISDN as a previous job as parttime helpdesk employee at an ISP. Together with the rise of numberous dail-up providers, including the legendary Superweb. It would allow free internet against a fix rate, not paying per minute, which was something new for the Netherlands. It would only allow one or two hours after it would disconnect you and you had to redial. Due their succes getting dialed in again could take quite long (too many users, not enough lines). So I wrote code/script and made changes to the Linux distribution to allow me to dial with my second line as part of my ISDN, starting ten minutes before I would get disconnected, and “transfer” the connection to the new connection when it was finally able to dial-in, hence having internet 24hours a day. Good times! Superweb didn’t exist very long…

The outdoor lan parties that quickly popped up in the Netherlands is where I have my best memories of. Also, modding levels of Shadow Warrior or Quake and then telling your friends that they had to copy this newer version as it had a patch and then pranking them for an hour in game by completely destroying them with hidden passages and explosions… all the while hearing them in disbelief.. and then sharing the secret… also FTP Servers with more music, movies and games you could ever put on your own hard drives..
VanMoof bike manufacturer is going bankrupt. People should export there private keys otherwise their bikes might get locked for ever..

i can only attest on personal experience, but yes...
Yes, there are 6 in total now.
ay yes, uploading crap to get download credits.. or paging and sucking up to the sysop for credits..
I wouldn’t mind paying a premium instead of a monthly insurance fee to get this resolved. And I have time, it doesn’t need to get resolved today.
Yes, free account. And having lost the ability to do 2FA I probably won’t be able to upgrade it. I’m fine paying for support, but that is not even provided as far as I know (for free accounts).
