For this specific case (Pandoras Star) I urge you to push through. It took me half a year to finish it because it’s so much stuff that’s just boring in the first half of the book, but the later part of it definitely makes up for it. I’m reading Judas Unchained now even though I promised myself not to pick up a beast (800+ pages) for a good while.

I use Authy. I tried to migrate to using a Yubikey, but the Yubikey 5 NFC which I have has a limit of 32 TOTPs and I need to store more than that.

I really enjoyed Dark Matter and Recusion by Blake Crouch. They are both easy reads and near-future sci-fi. I love the humor in The Martian and that may be lacking in these, but they are real page turners non the less. Especially Recursion might be one of my recent favorites.

Didn’t expect Endurance to show up as a recommendation here, but you are absolutely right. Haven’t reflected on the similarities between the two but I loved every bit of both!

You’re very welcome! As for traveling by bike I just finished a ride from the top of Sweden to the bottom and except for a used up tire, I didn’t have a single mechanical problem. So as long as you make sure to start your trip with a well serviced bike you rarely risk anything, I’d say.

Of course that depends on where you are going though - I wouldn’t go out on a three month trip in the deepest of Alaska without a good set of redundant gear, but traveling in Europe is no problem at all.
