Megabonk.

Intravenous 1.

No third game. (This could be the name of a game, but sadly I’m referring to the fact that I only played those first two games during the holidays)

I’m somewhat interested in what’s coming up from Kärcher. Being a company based in Germany, EU, I’m stupidly hoping that EU data protection laws prevent them from doing the shittiest things.

If I have something serious, I will set up automatic upgrades. If short downtimes are ok, also with automatic reboots when the kernel updates, but if they are not, with notifications that I should go reboot them.

If it’s not anything serious, whenever I remember to.

Alundra for PS1 perfected the Zelda genre and I haven’t quite ever played anything like it.

Why would anyone think that FSF is capable of releasing a unique and good device? It’s gonna be a bog-standard Android device with some software modified/removed.

Might be ok for some people still though. Also I’ll be happy to be wrong about my cynicism.

It’s not bad if you don’t need historical backups. I kinda think I do, so I use https://github.com/rustic-rs/rustic becase rust

Restic (https://github.com/restic/restic) is probably a better choice if you’re not a rust-freak like me.

Ad money.

Matrix seems to work well. I’m on a smallish non-profit server. I regard it as the premium open-source step forward from IRC.

The worst problem is that there are really no channels that I care to follow.

My NAS is a Raspberry Pi4 with a single consumer-level SSD. My backups sometimes complete.

Fine product but is it FOSS?

Piratebay.

Oh no, anyway.

I’m partial to the idea that we’re part of a larger organism. So essentially similar to cell parts but on a different scale. There’s something above that, but we are as likely to figure it out as cells are able to figure us out.

What to do with that? I have no idea. In lieu of objective facts, I guess it’s useful to pick the good instructions from religions – usually the ones that they all share are the ones that are worth adhering to. Do to others etc etc.

Bitcoin is pretty fast. You get 5 confirmations in about an hour. If you compare it to credit cards, the equivalent thing (clearing and settlement) happens in about 2-7 days.

Thing that matters to the merchant is a bit different than the thing that happens with the customer. You can build similar layers in front of the customer for crypto payments that make it look like the payment went through in a second.

I don’t know about you, but the amount of self-control I have varies hugely during a typical month. So when I have more self-control, I can choose to help myself during the times when I have less.

I just tried to use Reddit with a new account. After spending about a week in it, I suddenly noticed that all my comments and postings received no upvotes or downvotes.

That’s right. I was shadowbanned, which is to say that some part of the Reddit system (AI?) decided that I need to be put into a cage that I don’t see, without telling me that it happened. Perhaps I was “evading a ban” or something. I don’t think I did anything to deserve it, and the reddit admins don’t answer to queries about it.

So yeah, Lemmy is infinite times better than Reddit.
