I hear ya.

I wish we had more raids and they would finish the Skyline Valley content.

Single shot rifles are big winners on the PTS. All of the old damage bonuses from perks are built into the base weapons now. The damage perks you already have equipped will be renamed and help you do additional limb and weak point damage.

I play 76 all the time. I've been on and off it since beta.

I recommend joining the official discord group as well as AngryTurtle's discord group for friendly people to play with.

The game is in a really really good place right now. Lots of storylines, lots of endgame content, and the same great community the game has always had.

They are currently in the middle of a yearlong combat/perk rebalance with the next change (affecting all rifle/SMG/shotgun perks) due out in June.

Some quick tips when levelling:

-Always join a casual team when first connecting to a server. There is no expectation that you group up with the people on your team and you will receive an INT bonus.

-When levelling up you can pick a different special point than the perk, and you can change the special point later at Perk Stations.

-Endgame crafting is dependent on learning plans and legendary affects. Learn all the cheap/free plans you can and SCRAP all legendary weapons and armor until you start getting level 50 gear.

-Join public events! They reward a lot of XP, unique plans and recipes, reputation (Eviction Notice and Moonshine Jamboree). If you see the Scorched Earth event you can avoid radiation using a hazmat suit.

-One of the best power armors in the game, Excavator is availability to craft very early, follow any guide online to learn the storyline.

It's going to be the seat from thr 25yo that the Cons stole from their experienced incumbent.

I wish Alberta were quiet.

Plug this puppy into the deck and have a massive virtual 1080p 120hz screen projected into your field of view.

I use it daily and couldn't be happier with it.

Either 'God of Gamblers' or 'Infernal Affairs'. Both are HK flicks.

First is an 80s comedy, second is what 'The Departed' is a remake of.

If someone shows you who they are: believe them.

There was (is?) a pilot project including randomly selected taxpayers with extremely simple tax situations where they had autofiling.

The guy behind The New Oil is half of the team behind Surveillance Report. It's a killer podcast well worth your time. Videos are on YouTube and elsewhere.

 

Aether is a reddit alternative not dissimilar to Lemmy in that it is distributed and open source.

Some advantages to Aether over Lemmy are:

It is entirely decentralized rather than federated giving it superior censorship resistance and smooth horizontal scalability. Each user on the Aether network acts as a node operator allowing other users to connect and view the communities that they subscribe to.

Moderators within each community are elected by, are impeachable by, and their decisions can be individually ignored by the users of each community. All mod actions are public information and, as mentioned, each mod action or moderator can be ignored by each user. This maximizes the accountability of the network and greatly reduces the chances of censorship.

The biggest flaw with Aether is that it is not currently maintained (to my knowledge). With such a massive migration of users to Lemmy and the Fediverse as large, I would love to see an increased interest in decentralized solutions like Aether.

Would it be technically feasible for Aether to join the fediverse through modified Lemmy instances? If so it could act as a silver bullet to enable horizontal scalability of the network at large.

I welcome any discussion on the topic.

Ergo is an eUTXO (extended unspent transaction output) based PoW smart contract platform.

It is significant to the privacy coin community as it features the ErgoMixer, the industries first non-custodial non-interactive coin mixer. It enables mixing any native or bridged token on the network in an entirely trustless way. It can enable any other compatible bridged asset to be mixed and further used in Ergo's smart contracts. (Think about premixed BTC-XMR pairs on a DEX for example.)

ErgoMixer

Ergo already has a community on Lemmy that I hope to see grow and flourish along with this one. https://lemmy.world/c/ergo

Here's to privacy!

 

At the moment there is slim pickings for other communities to join if this instance is chosen by a user to be their home server.

Presumably other instances have to approve linux.community federating with them before their subs can show up? Is it that this instance is new, or is there some other reason. u/nkukard can you chime in?

EDIT: A-ha! I was searching poorly! Once a member of a instance subscribes, it pulls it into that instance for easier discovery. Neat!
