You can have a remarkably similar experience on any distro, just enable flathub and install verified packages from there.

That’s actually a perk. Means the decryption key is not uploaded to telegram servers.

And, yes. The encryption all of the normies learnt to use for buying illegal goods while the prices were posted in wide open group chats. At least that’s how it was working in latin america with drugs.

Published in January 2025, seeing the URL, huh.

But whose bug is it? Really, Git origins have it tied to Linux development.

Case sensitivity, or the lack thereof, on a filesystem is opinionated. That’s the real issue and is not a bug.

I played that on a LOTR-themed felucca-only shard, and hosted a runUO server myself for friends later when no one was playing it anymore. Great memories, I kind of enjoyed the “blue vs. red” factions of the early game, like 1999.

The fact that black goo “eats” other life to “grow” implies that this Engineer on, according to the article, ancient planet Earth wasn’t just planting life. Also, there was almost no lava on Earth so it would be some recent geological time. I can only accept that he was planting human-like Intelligent life, perhaps our species itself. I liked it because it seemed to align with creationist myth and that’s a huge cultural mashup to me.

Anyway, I tend to overthink…

There’s another ‘fact’ taken for granted by this article that I can’t quite follow. They say the Engineer was acting on its own and this was a negative behavior in their species, a bit of a paria. What sustains such claim?

PS. I only saw Aliens (1986) and Prometheus. Not a fan of horror, but SciFi.

In their jargon it’s called “scrub”. There are different arrangements, I have 3 disks under raid 5 or raidz 1. Data is written twice and every month I confirm checksums.

In the past I had lost photos on faulty disks, this solution provides me with techniques for coping and dealing in such scenarios.

True. But you can save photos and videos under self-healing filesystem like zfs. Is far more cheaper than a year of multiple premium subscriptions (google, netflix, spotify). And it’s not recurring monthly other than electricity bill…

from hammers import sledgehammer and that’s why I love Python :)

Gaming on linux is not that bad today. Look at valve’s success with the steamdeck. All past and present issues are because developers were aiming to a different platform, with proprietary tooling.

In meme terms, is like Fender made the guitars for people with different hands. You can’t play, but it’s their fault.

Indeed. Also, I am concerned about self-hosting enthusiasts that install docker (without the advance rootless mode) and blindly run containers. Sometimes these containers are even made by third parties, independent of the app developers. Unfortunately, the supply chain there is up for grabs…

Ah, my bad “again”… should have mentioned that there’s the advance configuration option that 1% of the geeks do

Docker is not rootless. Is only safe as long as the container (or those web devs) doesn’t use nsenter or anything similar to get root access outside of it ;)

Do check seaweedfs too! Haven’t tried it (yet) but their ‘erasure coding’ reads as super sophisticated to me ;)

I wonder how it compares to beegfs

Game is huge. Do use cheats for potions or ingredients. Check popular mods that give easy way around cumbersome tasks.

And, if you’re like me and always play spellcasters instead of fighters in RPGs, do check some builds after certain level (20s?). Get griffin set of course, do know there are levels for its items.

First, stop buying games (*1)

Second, consider reading about the sunken costs fallacy, e.g. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=how+to+overcome+sunk+cost+fallacy

(*1) there’s piracy xdd

Yup, I love this https://www.videogist.co/

Not to flame you, but really just an HTML form was all you needed? It’s a super simple feature…

I’m attracted to it because of the posix backend. Did anyone try it? Is it stable?

Those locks are kinda optional. And luggage is way less important than all of one’s communication ; imho.
