I rewatched this recently, and yeah. You do kinda just have to accept it as a product of its time. The language is incredibly dated, but if you can get past that it mostly still holds up IMO.

Look into syncthing. Not sure about encryption tho and I'm not in a position to check RN.

Soulseek deserves a mention for music

I went to Montessori breifly, at about four years old. For some reason they decided my motor skills weren't good enough so I got singled out to do nothing but sort buttons all day. When I cried about it I just got told to learn to cry quietly, then sat down for half an hour and told 'no, you had a good day' before being picked up. 0/10 do not recommend.

The relentless march of technology.

Seeing hexbear pop up in my feed honestly made my day. Welcome back, I've missed you folks.

Partner bought me a pet feeder with built in webcam. Worked great for three years until the servers went down. First and last time I trusted any internet connected appliance .

I put it on the hat on the throttle.

The ergo and mapping is fine. It's the build quality that leaves a bit to be desired IMO.

Not sure how long it is since you've played, but this is kind of part of the powerplay update. Station concourse decoration changes with the controlling power and level of reinforcement.

Yeah, there's a few. Habitica comes to mind, but the generic term for this is "gamification".

Original Elite as an arcade machine on station concourses.

Edit: Another crosshair for actual movement vector like in Elite 2 would be really useful.

 

I have some downtime at the moment so I'm thinking of reviving my personal blog again. I have enough experience with managed services that I'm reasonably confident to self-host. I'm aware that WordPress / Drupal / Joomla will most likely do what I want, but they're way overkill for my needs and I don't need the extra headaches.

Currently I'm leaning towards ghost, even though activitypub is only in alpha as far as I know. Plume isn't actively maintained any more, which is a shame. WriteFreely is a great project but doesn't suit my aesthetics and doesn't support themes as far as I know. I know connecting a flat-file CMS to activitypub is possible, but seems like way more trouble than I'd like to go to.

Is there anything I've missed that I should be looking at?

Third-party game tools (self.linux_gaming)
 

I'm pretty deadset on switching my Legion Go over to Bazzite (for the controller support). One of the games I play a lot of is Elite Dangerous. While I'm quite sure I can get that up and running, there's a few third-party tools I use like EDMC and Voice Attack. EDMC and the like I'm fairly sure just need to get pointed to the logfiles, but I'm not sure how well VA will operate in a Linux environment. Anyone out there dealt with anything like this? It's not a deal breaker if it just doesn't work, but I'd like to know ahead of time.

 

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

 

But the guy behind it is a god-tier troll, and Cory Doctorow generally doesn't suck IMO. Enjoy.
