I had only one question: Who would bring their kids into bed and at least is available if something happens 😅

I wonder if I'll see it say "from lemmy" someday?

That's the spirit!

I mean new ocean front property is somehow more if you don't remove the lost property. /s

The "basic" strategy for RoW is, imho, to upgrade it so much that you find your endgame equipment with it. Thus means upgdraded Tier-5 weapon and upgraded plate armor. To clarify: you find these items already upgraded. You also should hoard some scroll of transmutations because you then transmute the RoW when you no longer need it. The upgrades of the RoW scales similar as with weapons or armor. This means as wutg weapons that +1 reduces the strength requirement and then +3 again, as +6. This means the upgrades that are interesting for an RoW are +1, +3, +6, +10, +15, +22. Each if these levels may yield upgraded weapons or armor. As far as I remember (and it may have changed) a +1 RoW can drop +1 equipment, a +3 RoW can drop +2, a +6 can drop +3.

Let's assume you upgrade to +10. this should eventually drop +4 weapon and +4 plate armor and then still having +5 SoUs left to either upgrade tge weapon, the plate armor, another ring (+4 rings could drop as well). Just to finalize tbe example: We use the 5 SoUs to upgrade the weapon, then our final equipment is: +9 weapon, +4 plate (maybe the smith can upgrads to +5) and a +10 ring, that was the RoW before transmuted. This is a good enough equipment in my opinion.

So, tl;dr: +6 or +10 is what I would do. +15 for the fun of it.

A final reminder: The equipment still needs to drop, which is random. So you may just die before anything useful drops. And you need a lot of Scrolls of Curse Removal, since you usually fund a lot of stuff.

Yes, I sometimes drop items I want to sell in the next shop deliberately down a chasm. If you push enemies down a chasm (e.g. wand if blast) then you kill them as well and their dropped items can be found on the next level as well. There may be sone limitations I never experienced. However, if you kill an enemy by pushing it down a chasm you receive less XP.

Aw man, now I want this toaster.

This is an old paper that it explains the basics: https://www.eecs.umich.edu/courses/eecs588/static/stack_smashing.pdf

Today there are a lot of mitigations where the steps of the paper don't work anymore, but the general ideas should be still valid. I'll hope you find the example you are looking for in there.

On another note: What is your intention? And can I participate 😈

The crowdstrike f*-up is so bad it travels back in time. That's my best guess

I mean it's roundabout 50 years that we let market forces solve this problem. How many years until we see that it actually works? Do we have this years left? What happens if it, mammon forbid, it actually can't solve climate change.

You are still reliant on the models trained by these companies. This training is very expensive. And yes there are ioen source models exist (thank god) but there are also closed source models that are very successfully advertised.

And self hosting requires money and skill. This means there is a lot of people who lack both and may then use closed source models.

First of all it concentrates power and wealth on the owners of the models (Microsoft, OpenAI) or the ones that provide the tools (Nvidia).

Yes, there is truth in it, that people who couldn't afford to pay someone to create art, or get consulting, can get this now to a certain extend (if they can afford internet access and pay the AI services they need). But this comes also at the price of lowering the income of the people who provided these services. They now need to compete in the business creation market and not in the market that they trained for. Not everyone can create and maintain a business with or without starting money, just from a skill point of view. Nor does everybody want to.
