I enjoyed both Styx 1 and 2. Solid games if you like fantasy and stealth.

100% stop at 5pm.

I can’t tell you the number of times stopping to eat and take a shower cleared my mind to fix it that night or the next morning after a good sleep.

Fresh eyes people!!

Guilty. I have half a bookcase of legacy PC games

And the choice is what matters.

Best starter for self hosting:

Although laptops technically have a built in battery backup 😎

Oh I’m totally getting metube. I use ytdlp with a script

I had a minidisc for years. Quickly got replaced by chip based MP3 players.

I still liked my discs because I could swap and play more music.

What did you deploy?

I’m messing with self-hosting a LMM with a web front end right now.

If social media becomes decentralized we might even gain traction reversing some of the brainwashing on the masses. The current giants are just propaganda machines. Always have been, but it’s now blatant and obvious. They don’t even care to hide it.

Powershell is not on the list…

I am not a programmer, but a sysadmin. Don’t get to enjoy this one :-\

I sort of do this in a block comment at the top of some scripts I write.

Changelog for Completed Stuff and Future Features for todo

In sandbox games you can use signs to make a todo list.

Valheim: signs posted next to bed (spawn)

• Get iron
• Get fine wood
• Farm leeches
• upgrade boat

Yeah this just sounds like compliance with the media making it seem like a protest for clicks…

The bad rep that China gets for making shit is mass produced knock off shit.

A company can have manufacturing in China with good quality control and come out OK.

One example to take this with a grain of salt. I got a Omega Mastocating juicer (it crushes instead of shreds). They usually manufacture in the USA. Came out with a cheaper model built in China. Guess what? The locking ring started snapping on loads of them. The part is under loads of pressure so it needs to be build to spec. The Chinese factory was trying to save money by remelting the leftover plastic into the parts. Weakening the part.

Omega issued a recall. Set a policy to stop cutting that corner. Basically fixed the issue.

I mean. It’s on a manager to save money so he was doing his job. Same shit would happen in the states. Still adds to the bad rep. Omega stepped up and made the right move to fix it. Rep really comes down to the company.

The worse part is having the gear and STILL not learning/playing with it.

I got stuff to start !selfhosted@kbin.social like an old i5 minipc and even a 64gb i7 pro series laptop…

Theyre just sitting unplugged with mint on them.

Yep

Warning: This becomes a rabbit hole very quickly because there are so many items to cover. I’m not going to breadcrumb you. I want to provide you with everything, which means we have to start from the BEGINNING!

Fixed. copyright*

Not to mention patent laws are bullshit.

There are law offices that exist specifically to fuck with people over patent and copyright law.

There’s also cases where people use copyright and patent law to hold us back. I can’t find the article but some religious jerk patented connecting a sex toy to a computer via USB. Thankfully someone got around this law with bluetooth and cell phones. Otherwise I imagine the camgirl and LDR market for toys would’ve been hit with products 10 years sooner.
