Fun fact! Timezones don’t just break at 1 hour increments. https://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.html

Sometimes distros will alias rm with the -i flag so it prompts for each file. An annoyance but makes you stop and think before continuing.

For a Stardew Valley type RPG, check out Little-Known Galaxy. I haven’t gotten far in its story but it’s been pretty fun.

For more traditional RPGs, I enjoyed Cross Code, though it is a bit grindy if you want to 100%.

Sea of Stars also has a great story.

For games with voice acting check out Kingdom Come Deliverance and its sequel.

The Forgotten City. More of an adventure game but has good story.

Only if you define it.

const that = this

This reminded me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwTXCwqurNQ

Sega doesn’t care because it’s now owned by Sammy and Sammy wants the good PR from Sega.

The rng mechanics are definitely frustrating for some but the game is way deeper. Getting to 46 rolls the credits but you are left with so many unanswered questions. Some people stop there and feel satisfied, but others are curious about the world.

My thoughts are to try to push through the initial frustration with rng on the drafting side. You’ll eventually find that there are Roguelite mechanics to help you along, and it will feel less rng-dependent.

Not OP but this is how I learned it and how it’s presented in the help file.

$ help while
while: while COMMANDS; do COMMANDS-2; done

$ help if
if: if COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; [ elif COMMANDS; then COMMANDS; ]... [ else COMMANDS; ] fi

I bought it personally but I would hardly call it expensive. The three year license is like ~67 USD a year for both CRT and FX.

I love it mainly because it’s multi-platform but I wish it had more features. They boast their great integration with VShell but it would be much better if they just had better support for OpenSSH, like being able to push ssh keys to a host.

The fiber we use at our datacenter is quite flexible but still gets damaged if you bend it too far. To roll it like they describe you would still want to have a fairly large drum (probably like 3-4 inches in diameter) which would make it pretty bulky for a small drone.

Since Stargate is my go-to scifi I’m kinda offended at the “doesn’t take itself too seriously”. Sure it’s not as hard on the science as The Expanse (you know, except for the magic portals to other stars), but it feels like it takes itself pretty seriously. There are obvious bottle episodes that were probably written for other shows and shoe-horned in because they were cheap to buy and produce.

For #2, I think this would get pretty old pretty fast, not to mention that they have to fit everything into runtime constraints. Every new planet the team spends months researching the new language. Sure, you could handwave it (we found a Goa’uld translator just laying around), but that would be back to just one language. Since the Stargate presents an instant transportation rather than the days/months/years of starship travel it would make sense that languages stay fairly consistent as people move from planet to planet.

For #3, they pretty much handwave this in SG-1 as the majority of planets in the Milky Way were repopulated by the ancients in their image, and others were transferred from Earth.

exFAT is an extension of the FAT32 filesystem that allows for larger drive sizes and file sizes and is mostly used on SD cards. Despite the name similarities it has nothing to do with the ext filesystem, and won’t support the same features as it (such as symlinks).

Here’s a snapshot of the memory of a running live cd of Ubuntu. I ran a script to load 0123456789abcdef over and over and it’s clearly readable. Nothing special is required for this, as the Hypervisor has access to anything that the VM does. If the VM loads the encryption key for your disk into memory it will be available to the provider.

Dunno what rock you were hiding under but this is absolutely possible in a hosted environment. There’s even ESXi documentation on how to do it. Taking a snapshot can be detected, but can’t be prevented. These memory dumps can include encryption keys, private keys (such as SSL certificates) and other sensitive data.

Unless you can physically touch the drive with your data on it, I would not store any sensitive data on it, encrypted or not.

While this is a great writeup on Lemmy instances, the thread was specifically about Mastodon and it’s numerous forks. I believe they use the same tech but are vastly different things. The instance I found wasn’t quite Mastodon apparently, even though it works very similar and the app designed to connect to a Mastodon instance wouldn’t connect to it.

I’ve been looking for a new instance to join due to various reasons. Ended up setting up and account somewhere and spending 2 hours manually copying over various settings only to find my Moshidon client won’t even connect with that new instance. Normal people are just going to quit when that happens.

I have used gocryptfs (https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs) in the past, it creates an overlay mount that encrypts each dir and file separately, so no need to precreate a container. There are some security downsides to this approach though so be aware of that. https://nuetzlich.net/gocryptfs/threat_model/

There are 4 pinned posts at the top, should be more posts below that.

I’ve been watching this guy’s backlog on building a kernel and bootloader from scratch. A bit monotone but amazing technical knowledge. https://youtube.com/@nanobyte-dev
