Trying to be vague as heck in the spoilers, totally get it! Don’t think there’s anything there that’s super spoilery (I hope!) But definitely play it safe.

Fingers crossed next run, as for the item there’s a

Yeah, I’ve never had

Definitely up there for the most notes I’ve taken playing a game for a while, some of them aren’t immediately obvious though their usefulness

Finally got

The back story as I said is probably the thing that kept me going, not 100% there but I needed to know if my own theories were correct.

Edit, also

I did enjoy it and the underlying story kept me going, gotta say after playing it with my partner for a while, the rogue like elements started getting a little grating, especially if you’re looking for extremely specific rooms and get crap RNG (took like 12 days to get a

I know there are

Got tedious/frustrating at times but did overall enjoy it.

More or less same, or random bands with the same name, I mostly use bandcamp for discovery these days, for now it’s still great being able to follow small labels, bands and user tags.

I got the dbrand grip for it with stick grips, it’s actually really nice to hold, certainly better than my switch lite (seriously that thing gives me RSI, really needed something to grip onto.) Which also has a kickstand attachment if you want. It’s overall though very comfortable, I find it better to hold up over propping it up with something, seems to keep it at a more natural angle for me.

I also switched to clicky buttons on mine, it’s definitely a preference but they feel better to me vs the stock ones on my partner’s.

Terminal usage is a tool just like GUI tools, I don’t think it’s helpful either to preload people with the belief that it’s some arcane tool that takes years before you can start using it, like anything you pick it up by doing.

Can’t really say it’s 100% optional as a blanket case either, heavily depends on a user, my work I’ve depended on having a terminal for years, and that was even before I moved into SWE, I’ve seen lots of business developed processes put together as an amalgam of batch files, VBA/VBS, and python because they needed to put something together with what they had rights to.

Be honest that I don’t see the terminal as a barrier to Linux anyhow, for the use case of “I browse the internet and use office programs”, you absolutely do not need to drop to the CLI, at least not for Debian or Mint, can handle installs and updates through their graphical package managers. Most people probably aren’t setting up services or the like on their machines, and if they are they already require terminal usage on any operating system.

Haven’t looked into it but do shops offer lube analysis services? Yeah you could send out your own sample to a lab, having it as a shop service would be way more accessible to people.

Though, in my experience, getting people to commit can be a pain, lots of “yeah I know we have a long p-f interval and it’s super noticeable before it functionally fails, but it’s not that much effort so I’m doing needless maintenance anyhow just in case”, which end of the day you do you.

I’ve used Thunderbird since forever as my go-to client, I used mutt as well for a while and that met my needs pretty well.

I’ve always known your world is complex, working closely with accountants and actuaries the last 4 years doing data applications further confirmed that, there’s some legitimately complex math that shows up, and it’s a lot of work to model that correctly.

“It’s just a …” Is a redflag to me, project’s going to be a gongshow.

I find that mentality of not trying to understand the problem and its context totally counter to the engineering method.

Personally, recommend forgejo, gitlab has a lot of features I didn’t need and I found the upgrade process if you didn’t keep on top of it annoying. Forgejo actions are pretty similar to github ones and setting up runners is super straightforward.

The ones I have have some speakers aimed at your ear to fill in that part, actually works really well. I can’t stand the ear buds you physically insert into your ears, the rubber tipped ones, these have been good to replace my on ears for activity. Plus you can hear what’s around you which is why my partner gifted me them.

Was my first experience with source control, a bunch of Gary’s Mod mods were distributed that way, think I recall wiretool doing that, spacebuild was for sure, predated my work use by like 5ish years.

I didn’t hate it but definitely prefer git, but I’ll take literally anything over not having it,

Considering that is nearly exactly some of the answers I’ve received during the technical part of interviews for jr data eng, you’re probably not far off.

Shit I’ve seen solutions done up that look like that, fighting the optimiser every step (amongst other things)

There’s a ton of great women in metal, I’ll drop two.

Mares of Thrace, Calgary AB based sludge/post/hardcore 2 piece, guitarist/vocalist is part of the original lineup, it’s heavy and catchy.

I really like Hulder, black metal solo project, some of her early demos are amazing, this version of Into The Crypt of Rays comes to mind, got a wall flag of the art from this in my office.

Powershell, windows terminal and winget are all legitimately nice tools, powershell especially is just stupidly more powerful than it needs to be (and verb-noun syntax is great).

Oh for sure, there’s exceptions to the rule, I’ve been fooled too. Peste Noir, Drudkh, Deathspell Omega, Burzum all end up on essentials lists, definitely contributes.

At least most nsbm sucks and/or have names like “ss wehrwulf division 1488” so it’s usually really easy to avoid.

Still, be great to have another tool to filter bands.

Edit: looks like it’s going to be based on musicbrainz metadata, checked Burzum because Vikernes is a Nazi and Peste Noir, neither of which have an nsbm tag, nor do Grand Belial’s Key or an actual band called Wehrwolf, probably because of how niche black metal is.

I’ve personally used this list as a place to start, not perfect but it’s something. Metallum lyrical content helps as well.

Dd is a solid option, I’ve used to image emmc modules, make CD isos, clone drives etc., but Clonezilla is a great tool to have around and quite literally purpose built for cloning and imaging disks, that’s how I’d do it myself.

Forgejo Documentation says they should be familiar to people who use github actions, they’re not the same but I found that when debugging some a few months back that github information was applicable, if that helps.

I switched to using a microplane (or similar super fine grater) for garlic a few years back, it’s far easier to clean and I like it for ginger, nutmeg, hard cheeses etc.
