What resources does everyone use to find trails and tracks to ride? Here in Australia I've been browsing the Trans-Australia Trails community, where people can upload, rate and comment GPS trails, including photos and other details. I'm aware that BDR have GPS tracks posted for free as well.

Does anyone have any other resources they use?

The V-Stroms are super underrated, they don't do anything exceptionally well, but are super versatile if you want to tour with a detour on some dirt here and there, and are at an awesome price point compared to other bikes in the class.

I have a 2014 V-Strom 1000 and apart from the technical stuff it's done everything I've asked of it without issues.

Plex/Emby/Jellyfish server on a spare PC streaming to the relevant Plex/Emby/Jellyfish app on Xbox is such a better experience to the streaming apps, no ads, clean interface and works even if your internet is down. Add in Sonarr and Radarr with NZBGet or Transmission for automated downloads and you'll never go back.

Not sure if there's a lot of appetite for another social, but I've been using Grainery for a little while. It's nice to get another part of my work out from under the Meta thumb. Has anyone else used it?

Definitely depends on my mood, but my go-to's are HP5 and Fomapan 100 because I stocked up on bulk rolls and I'm still working through it. I've also got a little stash of Agfa Cinerex IC1N that I like to shoot with, it's a little slower, but it tends to be quite contrasty without the need for orange/red filters or pusing. This is an older shot from when I was messing around with it, I think from my very first roll.

Have you watched Star Trek: Strange New Worlds? Season 2 just started and it feels like a return to the golden age of Trek instead of the gritty overly dramatic direction Discovery and Picard went.

 

So I don't shoot slide film enough to justify having the E6 chemistry on hand, but have seen this process come up a few times where you effectively use a common black and white developer to do a first development on the film, which is subsequently taken out of the developing tank, fogged intentionally using a light source, and development continues using C41 chemistry. This is similar to the E6 process which also uses a first developer, but differs in that E6 uses a chemical fogging agent.

Has anyone tried this and had any decent results? I've got a bulk roll of Ektachrome to do some experiments but the less film wasted the better.
