  • Twist: You think this is the legendary lost crown of Foo? Some rotten trash you grabbed in a dungeon just happens to be the thing you've been looking for all this time? Pull the other one! It's been so ravaged by time that none of the markings or engravings are clearly visible. Best you can hope for is that some merchant will buy it off you for scrap.

    Even if the PCs think this is the lost crown of Foo, only the kingdom's last grandmaster artificer can conduct a conclusive test. Assuming you even find them, it's not like they take appointments from any dirty old adventurers off the street.

  • One downside of the method is that each molecular message can only be read once, since decoding the polymers involves degrading them.

    New DRM just dropped. Imagine pouring rented movies into your TV like laundry detergent.

  • Sounds like the perfect reason to have different words. Who would want to type that out every time? I'm sure someone could spend several paragraphs describing the difference between fur and hair, or stucco vs plaster.

    If you don't care about the difference between two words, then those words probably weren't invented for you. Someone else who works with that nuance on a daily basis probably really likes that they can sum things up briefly.

  • I'm not going to say "Don't learn gentoo next" but if you're already well versed in Nix or setting up a base arch install, I feel like the only thing Gentoo will teach is "How long does it really take to compile Firefox from source?"

  • Instance defederation drama retold through half-remembered hearsay? Surely we can do better.

  • Fun language fact:

  • The server code could also be released as a binary blob under a proprietary license. No different from distributing any other piece of software.

  • They aren't the cheapest, but I really like using GripStics to reseal bags. As long as the bag is not made of a very thick material, you can get an airtight seal (Eg, good for plastic-y foiled bags, not so good for a bag of flour made out of paper). There's no mechanical movement at all, so they'll never break.

  • Are you able to independently confirm that the domaincheck container is listening to the right port? Eg netstat -tunlp on the host

  • I think you'd be hard-pressed to find a LinkedIn alternative. It's too business-oriented for anyone to care that it's under corporate control. In some sense, that's the whole point.

    My understanding of Friendica is that it's supposed to fill a niche similar to Facebook. I've never used it though.

  • There definitely are FOSS projects run by the US government: Ghidra is an open source reverse engineering tool developed by the NSA.

  • I switched from that container to one that uses qbittorrent and a VPN.

    qBittorrent web UI works better on a phone for my use case, and I kept having to manually restart the transmission container whenever the VPN connection dropped.

  • There are definitely UI inconsistencies across devices, especially smart TVs. Jellyfin on Firestick looks different from Jellyfin on Roku which looks different from Jellyfin on WebOS. Some devices deliver Jellyfin through a thin browser client, and in those cases you get access to a unified design. Outside of that it's a crapshoot as what the app will let you do. Of course, it's a volunteer project (and all my thanks to any maniac willing to develop TV apps), so I don't expect that everything can be easily and neatly unified.

    I can't deny that it's sometimes hard to support my users because of this. Someone complains that they're getting movies dubbed in an unwanted language: I can't guarantee that the button to select audio track will look the same on their end when I talk them through it.

  • I recommend The Dirty Dozen. It came out in the 60s, so you're not getting Tarantino level gore. However, it gets so close to that line anyway.

  • Ah, I see what you mean. Yeah, no way around that without a GPU or a processor with integrated graphics.

    You should be able to get a used workstation GPU for $20-40 on eBay. Something from Dell, or a basic nvidia quadro would do the trick. If you could sell the 1660 super for more than that, could be worth the effort.

    Alternatively, the 1660 Super would do the trick nicely if you ever needed to transcode video streams, like from running Jellyfin or Plex.

  • However, I was never able to have the server completely headless.

    Depending on what you mean by "completely headless" it may or may not be possible.

    Simplest solution: When you're installing OS and setting up the system, you have a GPU and monitor for local access. Once you've configured ssh access, you no longer need the GPU or monitor. You could get by with a cheap "Just display something" graphics card and keep it permanently installed, only plugging in the monitor when something is not working right. This is what I used to do.

    Downside: If you ever need to perform an OS reinstall, debug boot issues, or change BIOS settings, you will need to reconnect the monitor.

    Medium tech solution: Install a cheap graphics card, and then connect your server with something like PiKVM or BliKVM. They can plug into your GPU and motherboard and provide a web interface to control your server physically. Everything from controlling physical power buttons to emulating a USB storage device is possible. You'll be able to boot from cold start, install OS, and change BIOS settings without ever needing a physical monitor. This is what I do now.

    Downsides: Additional cost to buy the KVM hardware, plus now you have to remember to keep your KVM software updated. Anyone who controls the KVM has equivalent physical access to the server, so keep it secure and off the public internet.

  • Yes. Such a transaction would be legally classified as a service: You pay publisher a one-time fee for access to the right to play their game over a known period of time.

  • Thunderbird is back in active deleopmemt though, and not just as a maintenance project.

  • It's a lot of work to become King of all Cosmos
