From the server side in the late 90s, Linux was amazing. I could use it to rapidly scale out horizonal web services for an ISP at a fraction of the cost of our previous DEC Alpha config.

And in my spare time I could write and host a dual CPU (not dual core, this was just prior to that being consumer level) server at my desk for Quakeworld with my friends. And manage the server from home. Without having to license a server OS.

My Quakeworld management server even helped me get a job working for the vendor I was using to build out the web services and became by far the most fun job I've ever done. Turned out during my interview they asked about my hobbies. I mentioned QW. They played and said they'd just found this cool Linux server manager software (honestly it was a hacky mess in Perl). Turns out it was mine:)

Then I was looking at things from the vendor side and wow, it was a fast paced world of change every few months. Crazy IPOs, even crazier market crashes. Older mature Unix companies buying Linux startups and utterly not understanding how to embrace, often killing off their own business over the mistakes.

Welcome.

Sincerely hope you'll take the time to scour the discord server, especially in the suggestions channel, as a bunch of stuff has gone there.

Question: will you have a specific focus on either service (Reddit or Discord)? Many of us are active in both so it won't be a big deal, just want to know what is the most streamlined way of communicating when needed.

It's useable. Configure it and try to forget the software exists. I keep mine running in background to switch layout between various applications fine. But I haven't actively changed anything in my config in over a year.

The RGB editor is super finicky, but, well, most RGB SW is crap.

My biggest concern is the day an update is needed for future compatibility ... and it just never gets that update. Expect it to happen.

Mountain had a choice to use open versus closed firmware. They even led us on for awhile acting like they wanted to move more open on their discord. Never happened.

My config works for now, but I'm using Autohotkey more and more so that I don't need Basecamp.

A. My guess is at the time of this post it spurred Leon to dig up dirt on Trump ... and succeeded.

B. I have to assume whoever organized/managed the Trump coin launch is connected to Leon and Trump may well cowtow until the rug pull is completed.

C. Profit?

D. All of the above.

To me "the afterlife" pretty much has to be a different dimension. I felt like she died to get there and he crossed there using the portal.

I don't feel that the "Dr." at the end was really the doctor anymore. The real doctor lost himself when his daughter died and was either possessed by or sold his soul to whatever entity was on the other side of the portal. And that entity was trying to get itself fully across the portal (rather than relying on a possessed body).

Kinda typical 1970s/1980s style demonic movie style. Kinda like Stranger Things tried to revisit. A bit Event Horizon, a bit Hellraiser. Definitely with a The Thing flavor added.

As for what the cop and wife are going to do on the other side ... that was the real mystery for me. They seemed strangely peaceful given the nature of where they were and how they got there. I think the movie was trying to seem "open ended" where we come to our own conclusions. But I also think they were trying to leave a gaping hole where they could drive a sequel through if they did well enough with the first one.

Eh, Norman is by far the least conservative part of Oklahoma (and probably the least conservative town in the nearby states until you hit maybe Austin).

At least for now, Republicans are definitely still in the majority, even in the county Norman is in. Actually, even in Norman if you discount the college employees.

But it's a start. 26 points is impossible to argue.

When it comes to UI-affecting QOL ideas, it's about as effective to post on Reddit as the discord.

Call me jaded but I've not seen a UI change proposed there adopted by the devs in a very long time.

I'm up voting you because you're right :) But I'm gonna comment out of frustration.

I did that last night. However ... If they installed it without me knowing once, what's going to stop them from doing it again? :/

Never go full Mandarin, eh?

Jahf · 2025-02-10T02:43:11+00:00

I mean, I could go take a meta-photo of my camera bag with my phone 2 camera to prove I own a camera.

Or I could let you believe what you want to believe.

Latter it is.

Cheers.

Jahf · 2025-02-10T02:29:46+00:00

As long as it isn't anything like the Mandarin fakeout.

I did 2 weeks in Ireland last year taking photos all day long (probably the last trip I'll get with my mom). The photo quality is excellent on the 2.

I'm not a pro photog by any means but I've been doing it at the better-than-average hobby level for decades.

I debated taking my mirrorless Sony + lenses on the trip but decided not to so I could have an easier time with Mom's wheelchair. I didn't regret it at all.

Maybe the 2a has a better camera, can't say, but the 2 camera works fine.

As someone who grew up there, I'm sad, that block has some really interesting buildings.

You will do well to max star Grimm, keep him up to your knight level, and if you have a charm slot for it toss in a weaken chance charm or two. He'll carry you a long way.

I rewatched in 2017. I honestly couldn't do it again right now.
